*EPISODE 3.*
*SCENE 1.*
*(Few Weeks Later.)*
_At Oyedunni's house one morning._
*Queen:* Oye, wake up. _(feels her body temperature)_ Arrgh, your body is hot oh. How are you feeling?
*Oyedunni:* _(reluctantly getting out of bed)_ I am feeling dizzy. I threw up last night when I went to urinate in the toilet. Oh! my God, My head aches and I have to be in school today because I have a three units course which I can't afford to miss.
*Queen:* Okay, whatever. Let's get prepared for school. But make sure you return home as soon as you are done with the test so that you can rest well. _(They prepare for school.)_
*(At School.)*
_Oyedunni meets her friends gisting. She joins them but her mind seems far away. Oyindamola notices her countenance and shows concern._
*Oyindamola:* Babe, are you here? what's going on?
*Oyedunni:* Nothing. _(She robs her hand on her neck)_ I am not feeling too well. I came mainly for the test so I will leave after that.
*Boluwatife:* Sorry dear, _(playfully)_ is it the baby or what?
*Rachel:* Can't you be realistic for once, who said she is pregnant?
*Boluwatife:* Just kidding dear. _(They continue gisting till the lecturer comes in)_
*(He gives them test. During the test, Oyedunni feels uncomfortable. She can't control it anymore as she throws up in the class. There is pandemonium is the class)*
*Mr Adebayo:* Calm down everyone. Where is the H.O.C?
*Kelvin:* _(the H.O.C comes out)_ Sir, I am here.
*Mr Adebayo:* Alright. _(Faces the class)_ The test is cancelled and postponed till next week. _(Back to the H.O.C)_ Kelvin, clear the mess and take her to the school clinic.
_(The lecturer leaves the class, Kelvin did as instructed.)_
*SCENE 2.*
_Queen and Oyedunni are seen in their room with the test result._
*Queen:* So Oye, what is the way forward now.
*Oyedunni:* I am going to abort it.
*Queen:* Abort what.. are you insane? Don't you have a heart at all? Your first pregnancy, Just like that. There could be complications. Think of the risks involved dear.
*Oyedunni:* Aunty Queen, think of what... This life itself is a risk. Damilare never had an heart before he raped me. My dad would kill me if he finds out about this. He will be disappointed in me because he has high expectations from me as the only girl child in the family. My life is ruined. Everything has changed, I really want to be successful without any hitch but the table has really turned.
*Queen:* Sorry dear. Have you told Damilare about it.
*Oyedunni* : Hell No! He doesn't deserve to know and he wouldn't know. Next week Friday, I will flush it out. That is final so don't try to convince me _(Leaves the room in anger)_
*Queen:* _(completely lost for words to say)_ alright, I know God will take control.
_(Curtain falls)_
*SCENE 3.*
_Queen remains standing till Oyedunni leaves. She is bothered with Oyedunni's decision to abort the pregnancy._
*Queen:* _(soliloquising)_ Next week is at hand. I love Oye so much that I don't want anything bad to happen to her. First thing tomorrow, I will go to Oye's department to meet the Exco's on this situation, they should be of help. Maybe I should call her mom first. Oye would think I hate her but she will not know its for her own good. Let me even call her mom _(dials the number and explains everything to Oye's mom.)_
*(Next day in school)*
_Queen is seen with the Excos of Oyedunni's Department._
*Queen* : Good morning Exco's.
*The Exco's :* Morning ma, how may we be of help to you?
*Queen:* Well, I'm Queen by name. I am not from this department I need to seek your help on something that concerns someone in your department. I hope I can confide in you?
*Samuel:* Sure, tell us what we need to know.
*Queen:* Well, the subject matter of this meeting is Oyedunni who happens to be a student in this department and she is also my roommate.
*Taiwo:* What about her, and besides there are many Oyedunni in this department.
*Queen:*
