Adele's POV.
I had just returned from Chapel service and was very tired. Sarah my Bunkie was sleeping because she went for the first service while I went for the second. Anna, my other roomie who was sassy was just chewing gum and pressing her phone. She was using an iPhone 15pro max. Hmmmm. There was a knock on my door. I stood up from my bed because I was in the down bunk. I opened the door and a tall, light skinned girl said to me:
"Are you Adele?"
"Yes I am", I replied almost immediately staring at the white envelope in her hand.
" This is for you", she continued handing the envelope to me, "someone from chapel said I should give it to you".
I took the envelope and waved her goodbye. Now i was blushing hard. I had never been given an envelope so fancy like that before and I thought it was from some boy. Some boy.
I hopped into my bed while Anna kept staring at me like I owed her something. I ignored her and tore the envelope. What I found was a clean folded piece of paper. I opened it to read and it said:
"Dear Adele, this is Michael the guy from the prayer unit you attended this morning. I know you are tired but I wanted to invite you to our special welcome love feast for all freshmen in the unit this evening by 5 pm. Please your presence will be highly appreciated.
Yours Michael with love"
I read it. Honestly, at first I was thrilled when I saw the name because in the morning I had attended the pre service session of the prayer unit and written my name and room number down. So the guy that ushered me In and talked to me was really handsome. It was Michael. Well, going forward I was kind of disappointed that it was just an invitation. I thought he was into me considering how we conversed in the morning. Well this isn't high school I guess. Not everyone falls in love that deeply.
I dropped the letter on my bed and fell asleep. 5pm had almost come...

Michael's Room
"Awfr boss you just dey think since. No be you preach peace of mind this morning?", Ade asked laughing. He was Michael's best friend and roommate as well. Michael dropped the book his was reading and turned to the left side of his bed staring at Ade. Ade was playing with a tennis while the other roomate was watching a movie on his tab.
"Ade you have to be careful with that ball so it doesn't hit Mark", Michael finally said as he rolled his eyes.
Mark smirked and continued his movie like he heard nothing.
"Mark Na senior man. He no go too vex like that. Besides why you dey think sef?" ade asked.
"I'm not thinking it's just that I have been reasoning something", Michael said as he sat up. Immediately, Ade left his tennis and joined him on the bed with arms crossed. Michael laughed.
"Why you dey jump for my bed yeye boy? You like gist" Michael said and Ade hit him on his back.
" No be your fault Na because I never get girlfriend", Ade replied with his head down.
Michael raised his head with his hands and laughed.
"It's just that there is this fine girl I met in prayer room today. She is in 100 level. She is so young and respectful", said Michael.
"Hmmm so tell me about her", Ade said
"So she joined our unit today and then we spoke about life on campus. She was asking me questions about food, classes, sports, library and all but I just couldn't take my eyes off her. I'm sure she noticed but didn't want to talk. Now, I was asked to send her a letter to attend this evening's feast. Guy, I no fit look that babe in the eye. I don't understand what she did to me ooo"
Ade laughed while Micheal stared at him in embarrassment.
" I don't blame you why are you laughing?" Michael said and stood up.
Ade replied" Guy no it's not like that now. It's because I have never seen you talk this way in two years and this girl is in 100 level. I feel you should just get to know her for some time and don't feel shy it's a crush thing it's normal".
"You think so? " Michael asked.
"I know so. So just put on the confidence crowñ and be brave this evening. Be a man!" Ade said as he patted his friend's back.
Michael nodded in affirmation and went to search for clothes. He picked a black t-shirt with a black leather jacket which he would rock on jeans.
Ade nodded and smiled while his friend combed his hair. He knew Michael was somehow in love because he had not talked that way since they were in 100 level.

ADONIS ROOM
Adonis was relaxing with his tab in his hands. He was playing call of duty while his roommates are sleeping. He looked at them and sighed. Lazy boys sleeping in the day.
Soon, a message popped into his tab. It was from an unknown person who had entered his dm on Instagram. It drew his attention as he clicked on it.
It was from a person called Morris from Prayer Unit. WTF was Morris and why was he texting?
It said:
"Good evening Adonis. I am Morris from the Prayer Unit and I want to invite you for a special feast by 5pm this evening. I hope this message finds you well. We shall be expecting you. Shalom".
Adonis read it again to be sure he wasn't dreaming. Prayer Unit? What a joke. He was planning to join the Sanctuary unit and not some Prayer whatever. Besides he had just given his life to Christ but that didn't mean he was interested in joining the prayer unit. He was puzzled. How did they even find him on Instagram? He racked his brain hard just then..the new convert slip. He must have filled the prayer unit slip and given all the details. God abeg oooo. He didn't want to attend but at the same time he remembered what his mom always told him"Accept any invitation that is godly. By doing it you respect yourself and respect God"
Gosh! He always listened to his mum because he loved her dearly. He didn't wish to defile her but then what could he do?
5pm it was. 5:30 pm it was actually. He smirked and continued his game.
The End.
