Ibukun fumbled with her phone after loading credit on her phone and just as she wanted to dial Lashe’s number, his number came in startling Ibukun who picked the call immediately.
“Hey” Ibukun said softly.
“If you want to see how the beach looks like at night, meet me at the beach near Ikeja in ten minutes” Lashe replied and hung up.
Ibukun blinked her eyes rapidly as she brought her phone away from her ears. She suddenly grabbed her sneakers and rushed down the stairs. Tosinmile was watching the TV in the seating room and sat up startled seeing Ibukun run down the stairs.
“Where are you going?” Tosinmile asked.
“I’ll be back” Ibukun replied as she tried to adjust her trousers.
“Do you know the time now? It’s almost 8pm!” Tosinmile exclaimed and Ibukun glanced at the all clock in the seating room.
“Cover up for me” Ibukun replied as she bolted out of the house.
“Ya! What am I supposed to say?” Tosinmile yelled after her but Ibukun was

She smiled before she sat down beside him.

Ibukun and Lashe held hands as they waited by the side of the road. Lashe was holding her hands tightly with his second hand in his pocket as he looked around for taxis.“Since when have you liked me?” Ibukun asked and Lashe turned to her as he threw his head backwards as if thinking.“I’m not sure” Lashe replied as he slowly squeezed her hand.“What about you?” Lashe asked and Ibukun wore a big smile as she stared at him.“It’s been a while. I don’t know exactly but I’m sure I caught feelings first” Ibukun replied and Lashe laughed as he pursed his lips.“I also think I caught a long time as well, it just took me a longer time to notice” Lashe added as a taxi pulled up beside them.“Okay, get in and call me when you get home” Lashe said as he opened the door of the taxi.“Okay, I’ll call you” Ibukun replied as she got into the taxi.

Ibukun curled up her bed as Tosinmile slowly patted her.

Except she’s watching those movies. I think something happened to her but I have no idea” his wife replied and he sighed.“Let’s leave her for now. She should be fine by morning” Mr Ola-Amuda said as they walked out of the room.Tosinmile slowly patted Ibukun having a rough idea about why Ibukun was crying.“You confessed to him and he rejected you right?” Tosinmile asked as Ibukun turned to her and shook her head.“No. besides I already got my first kiss though” Ibukun replied with a smug smile and Tosinmile’s eyes widened a little.“You had your first kiss?

“Ibukun, I’m suspecting you” Fikayo said and Ibukun turned to her with a smile.“Suspecting me? Why?” Ibukun asked and Fikayo folded her arms.“This one of the reasons. I just said that I’m suspecting you and you are still smiling. What’s funny? Why are you smiling?” Fikayo asked and Ibukun and Blessing burst into laughter.“So because I’m smiling that’s why you are suspecting me?” Ibukun asked and Fikayo scoffed.“Of course not. I’m suspecting you because you have been smiling too much for a while, you smile when you writing, you smile when you are eating, you smile when you talk. I don’t understand what must have happened to you for you to start smiling like that” Fikayo replied as she yawned.“It’s time to confess, what’s going on?” Fikayo asked and Ibukun burst into laughter.“There’s nothing going on darling. Just get infected by my happiness and stop suspecting me” Ibukun replied and Fikayo sneered at her.“I’ll find out what you are h

“I think there’s something wrong with Lashe” Ibukun replied and Tosinmile folded her arms.“Why do you think so?” Tosinmile asked as Ibukun bit on her lower lip.“I’ve been calling him more than ten times; he’s not picking” Ibukun replied as Tosinmile raised her eyebrow as she rubbed her forehead.“Isn’t this the first time this is happening?” Tosinmile asked and Ibukun nodded.“Yes. He always picks up at the first ring” Ibukun replied and Tosinmile chuckled.“Then chill out. He might be busy. He has no reason to ignore your calls.

He glanced through it as he changed a few things in the music script.“Don’t you think he’s kinda different?” one of the recorders asked and another nodded.“I think he is.

He looks happy” someone said and they nodded.“That’s true, he had suddenly smiled twice today and besides when did he start having a friend who would call him that constantly?

Fikayo shook her head as she stared at Ibukun and Blessing and shook her head.“They are both sick in the head” Fikayo murmured.“Are you sure you aren’t the one sick in the head?” someone whispered in her ears and Fikayo suddenly felt ticklish as the person walked to her front and sat on her locker.“I told you to stop doing that” Fikayo said as she rubbed her ear while Aaron grinned at her.“But you like it” Aaron said and Fikayo turned to Aaron embarrassed.“I told you to stop doing it, that clearly means I don’t like it huh?” Fikayo replied and Aaron grinned as he hitched closer to Fikayo.“You did so but your body told me otherwise” Aaron said as Fikayo swallowed her saliva.“Stop embarrassing me” Fikayo said as Aaron grabbed her hands as he stood up.“You should have said so earlier” Aaron said as he pulled her out of the class.“What’s the time?” Ibukun asked as Fikayo scoffed.“You have a date?
