Ibukun was double excited by the time she got to school the next day. The news of Lashe’s admission had spread way too fast and everyone was still talking about it.
“Do you have any idea about what kind of university he chose?” Fikayo asked and Ibukun shook her head.
“I tried thinking but I came up with none. I mean, I know how secretive Lashe is; if he doesn’t release a news, no one knows about it” Ibukun said and Blessing pursed her lips.
“So now we just have to wait till universities start resuming before we know the university he got into” Blessing said as she folded her hands.
“I wish I had super powers to know” She added and the girls burst into laughter.
“I sha wish him the best either ways, let’s go for class. We have practical” Ibukun said as the girls rose to their feet and walked out of the class.
“Did I tell you guys that Tolu got chosen?” Ibukun asked as they walked to the laboratory.
Fikayo scoffed as she took a glance at Ibuku
Ibukun yawned as she walked into the house. She pursed her lips upon seeing Toluwanimi.“I thought you were resuming today” Ibukun said as she sat down on the chair.“I just went to register, check out my room, arrange my stuff and all” Tolu replied and Ibk smiled.“The house will get quieter when you leave. I miss you already” Ibukun said as she stood up and hugged Tolu.“I have some news for you though” Tolu said and Ibk withdrew from the hug and sat down. She removed her sneakers and her pop socks before turning to Tolu.“News for me? What is it about?” Ibukun asked as she placed her socks into her sneakers and placed them neatly beside the chair. She removed her jacket and placed it on the arm chair.“I have news about Lashe” Tolu said and Ibukun turned sharply to her making Nifemi and Tosinmile burst into a fit of laughter.“Lashe? What about him?” Ibukun asked.“He’s going to be attending DUL. We are even in the same department”
“Ibk, what did you just say? Artists are jobless people?” Nifemi yelled after her but Ibukun banged the door instead.“You shouldn’t have spoken like that. You know how much she likes him” Tolu said with a small smile.‘I know that’s why I spoke to her like that. Someone needs to snap her out of her fantasy and stupid imagination” Nifemi replied and Tolu frowned.‘That’s what she just said. She’s not you, you are not her. She the right to love whatever she wants. You as well have the right to love whatever you want but you do not have the right to criticise someone else because of what they love” Tolu said.“Besides what’s the big deal in liking a musician and a sensible one at that?” Tolu asked as she shook her head.“But that didn’t give her the right to call artists jobless people. Does she even have an idea who an artist is?” Nifemi asked angry and Tolu laughed.“She did the same thing you did to her back to you. you criticized her hobby and s
Toluwanimi sat down as they got ready for their first class. It was supposed to be an introductory class so the lecture theatre was filled up. Her eyes remained fixed on the phone and she didn’t even notice when someone sat beside her.She fixed one of her ear pods inside one of her ears as she watched a movie on her phone. She soon noticed people looking at her direction and Tolu frowned slightly.She took a look at herself and discovered she wasn’t doing anything outrageous nor did she look weird or anything but why were everyone looking at her?It took a while for Tolu to realise it wasn’t her almost everyone was looking at but someone around her. She turned and her eyes widened in surprise upon seeing Lashe. The latter gave her a small smile and Tolu smiled as well.“You are Lashe bah?” Tolu asked and Lashe chuckled.“I was still grateful I sat down beside someone who didn’t know me” Lashe replied and Tolu chuckled.“Are you sure there’s somew
Ibukun woven herself in between the students and walked towards Tolu with a smile. Tolu had resumed for about three weeks so Ibukun had missed her greatly.She rushed into Tolu’s arms and hugged her. Tolu hugged her back laughing. Ibukun broke the hug as she stared at Tolu.“God saved you that mommy wasn’t the one who came. You used pink attachment” Ibukun said with a snicker and Tolu laughed.“You are pretty anyways” Ibukun said as he handed over the bag to Tolu.“Thank you jare. See you face, you are finer too” Tolu said and Ibukun gave her weird look.“Fine when tests are coming. I’m reading my head off” Ibukun replied.“Tolu who is this?” A guy asked and Tolu smiled.“Ohh, this is my younger sister, Ibk. Ibk, this is Kunle” Tolu said and Ibk waved to Kunle and gave a polite smile.“Hello pretty” Kunle said and Tolu elbowed him immediately.‘Don’t play around with my sister” Tolu said with a smile and Kunle laughed.“Wha
Ibukun could barely contain her excitement the next day. Fikayo and Blessing soon noticed it.“Did anything interesting happen?” Fikayo asked and Ibukun nodded her head.Ibukun nodded with a big smile as Blessing hitched her chair closer to Ibukun’s “I feel like this is going to be big, so spill” she said and Ibukun took a deep breath.“To spare you guys the long story. I visited Tolu at school and guess who I met?” Ibukun said and Fikayo and Blessing’s eyes widened.Fikayo’s hands went to her mouth “Don’t tell me you met Lashe?” she asked slowly and Ibukun nodded a big smile still on her face.Fikayo gave a loud shriek and Blessing soon joined and everyone looked at them in confusion. Fikayo kept looking around with her mouth open.“Err…. Fikayo, keep your mouth closed” Ibukun said and the girls burst into laughter.“Wow, how was it?” Blessing asked and Ibukun smiled.“Normal. I kept trying not to scream. I even cleaned my eyes to che
Ibukun smiled as she scrolled through the recent pictures of Lashe on his Instagram page. He took a picture with some of his course mates and posted it on social media. Tolu was standing by his side with a nonchalant look and Ibukun laughed.“See her mouth” Ibukun said as she went to Tolu’s IG page. Lashe had tagged everyone he took pictures with so she just had to click on the tag. Ibukun’s eyes widened.“Her followers have gone with almost a thousand followers? Just because of a picture? Tolu is really going to get popular at this rate” Ibukun murmured as she started scrolling through Lashe’s fans’ pages.There were lots of fan page but Ibukun kept scrolling until she came across a picture. In the picture; Lashe was standing in front of a building, a fancy key holder in his hands. She zoomed the picture and looked intently at the key holder before she covered her mouth excitedly.“I bought him this key holder” Ibukun yelled excitedly.“Oh my god, he’s
Fikayo adjusted the powder on her face as they walked out of the class. Ibukun checked her wristwatch and squinted at the amount of sun rays attempting to enter her eyes.“Almost everyone is going” Blessing said as they walked into the bus.“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.The event centre was filled to brim and students in different uniforms dominated the places. Different press officers could be seen making videos and reports.Lashe was a sensation not just in t
The students started walking out of the event hall and news men and women started rushing towards them and started interviewing them. Most of the students were to be on Tv so most of them were so happy and said all kinds of things.A newswoman approached Fikayo and Blessing startling them both.“Hello, I am a reporter for the TVC news, I see you came straight from school to attend Lashe’s concert. Isn’t that so?” she asked as Blessing intertwined her hands together with Fikayo.“Yeah. We came straight from school” Blessing replied.“Yeah, we came as one of Lashe’s biggest fan is our friend” Fikayo said and laughed as she pulled Ibukun to the front of the camera. Ibukun looked puzzled at the camera before smiling a little.“Hello, your friends just claimed you are Lashe’s biggest fan, is that true?”“I like to believe that” Ibukun replied with a smile.“Ohh, what you like to believe. So what makes you want to believe that you are Lashe’s bigg
