Life of YUSRA (COMPLETED)

The stranger i felt i have known

For days i roamed around the university alone,well i realized i judged the place too early
Yeah it can be stressful but things happen
Things like drama to keep my mind off lots of things

I reached my hide out place
It was mini garden carpet grass,lots of big trees and flowers.there is about four long benches arranged in a circle format and a mini water fountain
And the breeze so pure,I wonder why people don't come to this place
Oh i guess they have lots of other gardens,bigger and more fancy

"Oh love from A to Z by S.k Ali,loved how the ending was"i heard a voice say some minutes after i was lost in the book
I gasped calming my racing heart,a voice said i should ignore so to avoid any interaction i picked another book

"You are a fan of S.K Ali to be having saints and misfits"the annoying voice commented again,i rolled my eyes still not looking up then i grabbed the third book from my bag

"Now is the poet X,well I loved how after everything she was accepted for who she is and what a poet!don't you think?"he said again,someone would think he is a lecturer

I sighed then asked out of frustration "ah!what is wrong with you?why are you here?"

"What do you mean?i school here!its university
And i can't remember the garden being named after you.wait I didn't see you around last year,you must be a Jambito"he said then munched his cheese balls

I rolled my eyes zipping my tote bag and got up then his annoying voice spoke again "You know I didn't come to make you leave,I have been seeing you here for the past few days
I can tell give you names of books to read"

"No don't worry,I'm a jambito anyways"I said about to walk out when he rushed and stood of me adjusting his face cap

"Let's start afresh
I am Yusuf Abubakar
Three hundred level English student
President of book club and Vice President of poetry club"he introduced smiling and he threw the empty pack in a dust bin

"Oh no wonder you know books,the rest of the guys know nothing but pressing phones"i said suddenly interested
Books and poetry woah!

"You are being judgmental aren't you?"he said with a smirk and i rolled my eyes

"Well,I am Yusra Ali Ayub
One hundred level Education English student
A book lover,upcoming poet"i introduced looking at my wrist watch to keep track of time

"So have you faced any difficulties here?"he asked and my brows furrowed on how he is suddenly concerned

"Anyways have you read Riot by anonymous?"he asked trying to change the topic
And I got excited remembering the times Kamil bought Riot and blue Rose by anonymous for me

"Yes I love anonymous books,Kamil thinks it's a she and I think it's a he
Because of the plot"i said excitedly and he smiled then his brows furrowed

"Wow who is Kamil?your brother?"he asked
And it downed to me,Kamil has been in my life since childhood
He played different roles whenever i needed him
Ya Allah please grant my husband a quick recovery

"No he..."right before i could tell him his phone started ringing

"I have to go sorry,see you around we have a meeting in book club and it would look bad if I'm absent.see you around Tomorrow"he said before rushing out of the garden

Why do i feel like i have known this stranger for long?

Stranger or not i can't wait for my lecturers to be over,i need to tell Kamil about Yusuf.

We have another Yusuf on board!!!!
Is Yusuf trouble or a friend
