Episode 3: The Growing Bond
As the semester progressed, Tunde and Chika’s study sessions turned into something more than just academic support. They began to spend time together outside the library—grabbing coffee between classes, attending campus events, and enjoying casual strolls around the university grounds. Their conversations flowed effortlessly, and they discovered a shared sense of humour and a deep understanding of each other’s ambitions.
One evening, after a particularly intense study session, they decided to visit a local café near campus. The café had an inviting atmosphere, with soft lighting and cozy seating. As they sipped their coffee and chatted about their plans for the future, Tunde couldn’t help but notice how comfortable he felt around Chika.
“You know,” Chika said, stirring her coffee thoughtfully, “I never thought I’d find someone who understands where I’m coming from. It’s like we’re on the same wavelength.”
Tunde smiled, feeling a sense of warmth in his chest. “I feel the same way. It’s rare to find someone who gets it so completely.”
Their interactions became more frequent and increasingly personal. They celebrated small victories together, like finishing a challenging assignment or acing a quiz. The line between friendship and something more began to blur, and they found themselves looking forward to each other’s company more than ever.
