All Chapters of JUST BEST FRIENDS: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Have you ever been madly in love with your childhood best friend, but they never loved you the same way? I mean, not like they didn't love you back, but just not how you wanted it to be?   Well, if you have ever been there, then you would most definitely relate to everything you are about to witness in Idara's funny love story. But if you haven't experienced such before, all I can offer is a piece of advice: Get tons of tissues or handkerchiefs, grab a snack, sit back and learn as you dive into Idara's colorful, twisted life.   Enjoy!   CHAPTER 1: THE CHALLENGE.   It all started when Yomi and Idara gained admission into the same school. They were both undergraduates in the University of Lagos, studying the same course—Mass Communication, and this period was their second semester for 100 Level.   Today happened to be a blessed, peaceful Saturday, which meant that there were no lec

Tayo, Anastasia's brother, wasn't left out of the hustle either. Yomi and Tayo collectively helped in setting up the one-bedroom apartment to the ladies' satisfaction. Together, everyone cleaned and furnished the crib on Sunday. At the end of that day, all that was left was to attach an overhead fan to the ceiling and paint the walls of the room to another preferable colour.  On Monday, after lectures, Yomi drove Anastasia and Idara to a well-known supermarket to get the necessary items. While both ladies did the shopping, Yomi waited in his car, listening to music to kill time. He was about to change the radio station when someone knocked on h

#JUST_BEST_FRIENDS   Author: Sam Freddy   CHAPTER 5: TRUTH OR DARE.   — — —   When she returned from the distant store with Tayo and Anastasia, Idara was beyond surprised to meet the others sitting on some iron benches in the Lagoon Front, playing a nasty game of Truth or Dare. Somehow, they all happened to be the only ones relaxing there tonight, but Idara wasn't sure, so she looked around and figured out that — for what seemed to be the first time in history — there were no other students or security guards in the area but just the group, all by themselves. It was complete freedom like never before.    Luckily for them, the illumination from the bright streetlights didn't really cover the small area where they occupied, which technically meant that there were less chances of them getting caught if the game got nastier with time.   

#JUST_BEST_FRIENDS Author: Sam Freddy CHAPTER 7: LISTEN TO THE RADIO. ——— Dressed in a knee-length sky blue gown, Idara danced outside in the very light rain, whirling and twirling with exceptional vigour and profound agility. She saw herself performing on stage in front of a relatively large audience, competing against other skilled dancers like herself. So far so good, she'd beaten many of her fellow competitors out of the big tournament and had gotten to the final round without breaking a sweat. But when her last opponent came out from behind the curtains, Idara was stunned as she saw that it was none other than Yomi, her very own incomparable sunflower, charging at her with an expressionless look on his face.  The moment he stood before her, the location changed from a wide, noisy hall to a quiet, spacious, adorned g

#JUST_BEST_FRIENDS Author: Sam Freddy CHAPTER 9: THE REQUEST. ——— Four days later. Sunday. 8:03 AM.  Dressed in a dark brown halter top and tight, faded shorts with a pair of clean black sneakers on her feet, Candice stood in a long queue of people waiting at a bus stop for the next transit bus. She was the last person on the line, and it angered her immensely because she had other places to be.  Yomi's crib, for example, was the first place on Candice's list. She wanted to pay him a surprise visit today before doing the same to her other boyfriends' houses. But the slow-moving queue was practically killing her and wasting her precious time.  Candice almost wished she could grow angelic wings to fly away from there, but she knew better than to wish for the impossible.
