The Runs Girl

Episode 25

For 2months, Stella and I didn’t talk to each other.

She cooked her own meals differently while I cooked my own differently too.

Infact we did everything differently including some of the things we used to do together before.

Whether I was right or wrong wasn’t my concern, my happiness was that I said my mind the way I deemed necessary.

Nonetheless, the incident strained my relationship with Dennis and I demanded an explanation from him.

Dennis explained that he had met Stella some years back and had fallen in love with her and everything had gone well between them till he discovered that Stella was a runs girl and quit the relationship.

He further explained that they had lost contact since then till that morning when they met in my presence.

Dennis’ explanation left me with goose pimples all over my body.

“If only he knew I was a runs girl too,” I thought to myself smiling.

My beef with my roommate continued nonetheless.

I had gone to see a friend and was coming back when I saw mobile policemen surround our hostel talking in low tone.

“She’s the one!” my roommate exclaimed as soon as I entered the compound.

“What?” I asked nearly taking to my heels.

“You’re under arrest for conniving with cult-boys to snatch your roommate’s jeep,” the leader of the policemen said flashing his ID card. “You have the right to remain silent or whatever you say will be used against you in the court of law.”

That I didn’t faint that moment was by the grace of God.

How on earth was it possible that Stella’s jeep had been found?

The guys that did the job had assured me that the operation went smoothly and hitch-free. How come the new development?

We soon got to the station and true to their words, Stella’s jeep was there.

“Please I wish to make a call,” I begged one of the policemen.

“Make call nah! Na new thing?” He snapped back looking away.

I dialled Senator Clifford’s number and luckily for me, he picked and I explained everything to him.

All he did was ask me to hand over the phone to the DPO which I did and before I knew what was happening, the case was closed and I became a free girl instantly much to the chagrin of my roommate…
