My phone beeped, notifying me I'd a new message, I checked my phone and saw a new message from a strange group-ARB101.

"Wow!"I screamed at the top of my voice because I'd been added to the group and I was extremely happy.

I'm a student! I grinned cheekily.

I wasn't one hundred percent happy because I wanted to be in real school not online. Well, it was still better than sitting at home doing nothing.

ARB101

*Ruqoyyah: Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi WABARAKATUH.

I sent a message to the group before I could put down my phone, a notification came in.

*+23*****: Waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh ukhti. Can you please introduce yourself?

An unknown number but not a Nigeria number replied I smiled widely.

*Ruqoyyah: I'm Ruqoyyah from Nigeria and you?

*+23***: I'm Ulaym from Egypt. I'm studying Islamic psychology.

*Ruqoyyah: Nice to meet you Ulaym.

I immediately saved his number on my phone before reading his next message.

*Ulaym: You are welcome ukht.

Another message again in the group, a Nigeria number, I grinned happily because I was about to chat with a Naija person.

*+2349***: Assalamualaykum.

*Ruqoyyah: Walaykumsalam.

*Ruqoyyah : Are you from Nigeria?

*+2349***: Yes I'm.

*Ruqoyyah : Maa shaa Allah, I'm also a Nigerian.

*Ruqoyyah: I'm from Lagos and you.

*+2349***: Me too.

*Ruqoyyah: Where are you staying there?

*+2349****: Typing...

My phone dung again notifying me, another person has joined the chat.

*+2348****: Assalamualaykum Ruqoyyah, I'm zaid from Lagos too, a Nigerian.

*Ruqoyyah: Oh nice to meet you too @zaid

@...

+2349**: I'm staying at ikorodu and you?

I saved Zaid's number and checked the other unknown number profile and saved his number also. His name was Zain.

*Zain: I'm staying at Ikoyi.

*Ruqoyyah: Maa shaa Allah!

*Zaid: I stay in agric.

*Ruqoyyah: Wow @zaid, it's near my place.

*Zain: What are you studying?

*Ruqayyah: I'm studying Advanced Diploma in Arabic @zain.

*Zain: I'm studying...

I didn't see Zaid reply before I went offline.

A month later

*Ulaym: Assalamualaykum.

*Ruqoyyah: Walaykumsalam.

*Ulaym: Please are you offering ARG101?

*Ruqoyyah: No, I'm not. I'm only offering ARB101.

*Ulaym: What are you studying?

*Ruqoyyah: Advance Diploma in Arabic.

*Ulaym: What?!, how many courses are you offering?

*Ruqoyyah: Just two.

*Ulaym: What and what?

*Ruqoyyah: ARB101 and skills management.

*Ulaym: Just the two!, you were supposed to offer seven courses and the skills management is not a course, it's a general course.

*Ruqoyyah: What?, I don't know.

*Ulaym: Oh sorry dear, maybe you should contact the help desk.

*Ruqoyyah: Jazakumu llahu Khair, I will.

I sat in my living room, thinking of what I should do.

I'd contacted the help desk but it said, it was impossible. I would have to wait until next semester.

The remaining five courses plus next semester seven courses; that would be eleven.

How can I go about it?!,I thought panicky.

Eleven?!

I am dead, I groaned.

Who should I contact?!

Zain or Zaid
