“It’s unusual for Lashe to schedule his concerts in the evening what do you think caused it?” Fikayo asked and Ibukun shrugged.
“He’s in university now. He has to manage his time and his lecture time varies as well; this time might be when he has time or the most convenient” Ibukun replied and Fikayo smiled.
“Sometimes they way you talk about him makes me think like you are in his head” Fikayo said and Blessing burst into laughter while Ibukun smiled and looked outside the bus window as the bus began to move.

He was cloaked in black pants and a shirt tucked roughly in but yet extremely attractive.He slipped one of his hands into his pockets and Tolu’s eyes returned back to his face. He was handsome. So handsome that Tolu found out that she couldn’t peel her eyes off him. The guy raised an eyebrow at her that brought her back to her senses.Tolu awkwardly coughed inwardly cursing for her extremely light complexion that made her embarrassment so obvious. She threw her head sideways trying to regain and composure and didn’t see the small smile that crawled up the guy’s face. Tolu swallowed her saliva as she turned to him.“Thank you for that. How wil

I did nothing more than that” Ibukun replied and Lashe chuckled.“I’m a person of few words that’s why I don’t know how to express myself but I am really, really, really grateful.

Tolu yawned again as she glanced at the noisy hall. Just what did the student union want to say to them to gather all the 100 level students together. She hissed again making her roommate to glare at her.“What’s wrong with you?” she asked and Tolu sighed.“Why did these people gather us here nah? I feel like my eardrums are going to burst any moment from now from the noise” Tolu replied as her other friend nudged her in the elbow.“It’s probably something important” she said as silence suddenly overtook the hall.
