A small smile wore its way to her face before her phone got snatched away from her. Ibukun stood up and saw Nifemi and Tosinmile grinning at her.
Forgetting that there were things that couldn’t be seen on her phone, she jumped on Nifemi and hugged her.
“Sister Nifemi, when did you come back? It’s still late October, what are you doing at home?” Ibukun asked as she skilfully pried her phone away from her hands.
Nifemi scoffed at her sister showing a pained face “Do you want to see me at home?” Nifemi asked and Ibukun chuckled as they sat down on her bed.
“I didn’t say that” Ibukun said as she pushed her phone under her pillow.
“I left a particular assignment at home, so I came to pick it up” Nifemi said and Ibukun chuckled.

Mrs Adedipe made the list, my job was just to paste it. Why the hell are you taking out your anger on me? Are you okay at all? If you have a problem, why don’t you go see her in her office?” Boye asked angrily and Fikayo found herself tongue-tied.“I have enough headaches to deal with, you sincerely shouldn’t add to it” Boye added as he walked out of the class with the notes in his hands.Fikayo scoffed as she rolled her eyes before walking back to her seat.

She turned to Lashe.“Ibukun is your wallpaper?” she asked as Lashe turned to her.“Huh?” Lashe asked and Tolu waved his phone in front of him.“The password bah?” he asked as he placed his finger on the screen and verified the fingerprint and the phone unlocked while Lashe returned back to his notes leaving Tolu who sighed and turned to his phone only to freeze again.It was a picture a pair of legs, the owner of the legs was wearing a pair of sneakers and he or she stuck her legs upwards.

Tolu stepped inside the building feeling giddy. Everywhere was kept crisp and clean and she looked around at loss of what to do next. She pursed her lips as she walked towards two girls looking at something on the notice board.“Hello” Tolu greeted trying to sound causal. The two girls turned to her immediately.“Hello, how may we help you?” one of them asked and Tolu tried to wear a smile.“I’m looking for Demola” Tolu replied and the second girl folded her arms immediately.“Demola? Why are you looking for him?” she asked and Tolu frowned at the slight hostility in her voice.“That’s personal. I just need to know where he is” Tolu replied and the girl scoffed.“Second floor, last room by the right” the first girl said and Tolu nodded.“Thank you so much” Tolu said as she took to the staircase. She quickly walked up the stairs trying to avoid many people as usual. Tolu swallowed her saliva as she got to the second floor. She followed the di

Lashe slid his phone into his pockets as he grabbed the wrapped box on his table before walking outside. He was clad in his usual disguise. Black pants and black pullovers, a black face cap and sun glasses.Following his usual route, he boarded a taxi and headed for the park he and Ibukun had met before. Lashe swirled the wrapped small box in his hands slowly.Was he crazy?Lashe was definitely sure he was.

He had even started drawing an outline in his jotter while he read the night before.Lashe swallowed her saliva as he looked outside the window to the busy streets.

It will be a single, it will take a while before I can release an album” Lashe said and Ibukun nodded.“So are you saying there are lower chances of releasing a Christmas album?” Ibukun asked and Lashe pursed his lips.“You could say that.

I feel really stupid about this. All I had was a pure love for him as a fan. I really wanted to meet him and tell him how big of a fan I was. That was my dream since I became his fan. And I thought I might knew meet him and somehow I did” Ibukun started as Tosinmile pressed her chin in her palm.“Meeting him was…... I don’t know. It was funny and interesting. It was really like a dream come true. I thought maybe it would just be that once but somehow I got to meet him once more. Each time we met or talked; I discovered I really didn’t know him at all.

Fikayo froze at Aaron’s reply as she swallowed her saliva “So what do you think are my qualities?” Fikayo asked.“While everyone thinks you are sassy, rude, annoying and blab la blab; I like to think that you are someone like me. Someone who has or always hold a different opinion from other people. Instead of saying sassy or rude, I’ll like to go for bold, you are bold while saying what you want, what you think as well. You don’t also care whatever anyone says or thinks either, you are just you. although you might be bossy at times” Aaron replied with a smile.“The only difference between both of us is that, you are outspoken and sometimes likes to force her opinion on other people which is kinda impossible because not everyone thinks the same way you do and even if you explain while some will see your line of thinking, some wouldn’t still understand” Aaron added as he chuckled.“What I like the most about you is that; you are just you, you don’t hide who you are a

“There are sleeping pills inside” Tosinmile said and I looked at her in surprise as she nodded as we both turned to Lashe.“He needs to rest” Tosinmile said as my eyes went soft.
