The bus drove into the school and everyone started getting down while they walked to their classes.
“Now to the gist of the day” Blessing started as she walked in the middle of Ibk and Fikayo.
“Akin and Shayo are dating secretly but at the rate at which the secret is spreading, it might just blow up soon” Blessing as Fikayo’s face contorted into an irritated one.
“Akin and Shayo?” Fikayo asked and Blessing nodded.
“One is stupid while the other is just plain idiotic. What a match made in heaven” Fikayo said and Blessing and Ibk burst into laughter.
“Why are they even keeping it a secret? They are one funny couple” Fikayo said as they entered their class.
Ibk was seated in front of Fikayo while Blessing was seated beside Ibk. They all sat down as Blessing sighed.
“When will Lashe’s company organize another fan signing?” Blessing asked as Ibukun shrugged.
“I think there’s another stage performance coming up” Ibukun replied and Fikayo sat up.
“It better be in the evening, I must even go ni” Fikayo said as Ibukun laughed.
“You mean late evening” Ibukun said as Fikayo pouted.
“Toluwanimi is still awaiting her admission, I think the first list comes out today. Her name will probably come with the merit list” Ibk said.
“She will. With that brains of her, she should be in the first ten” Blessing said as Fikayo nodded.
“There’s this poster I saw on Wish, it’s Lashe’s poster. Remember the one he wore blue and white like a police officer?” Fikayo asked as Ibk nodded excitedly.
“I so looked for any merch with that cloth but I found none” Ibukun replied with a sulk.
“That’s the poster” Fikayo said as Ibukun’s eyes widened.
“Really?” Ibk asked and Fikayo nodded.
“I’m so getting one” Blessing said happily.
“That’s the problem. The person only has hundred pieces and since it’s high in demand, it about 10K” Fikayo replied as Ibk stopped to turn to Fikayo.
“Yeah, you heard me right. It’s 10k” Fikayo replied.
“Just a poster?” Blessing asked as Ibukun pursed her lips.
“As at yesterday, over 20 people had bought it, so it remains roughly about 70 pieces” Fikayo replied.
“Those people that bought it must have money growing trees in their house” Blessing said as Fikayo and Ibk burst into laughter.
“Or should we contribute and buy it?” Blessing asked after a while.
“After buying it, who will take it?” Ibk asked as Blessing opened her mouth and closed it.
“I give up” Blessing said as Fikayo nodded.
“10K keh? If you give me 10k right now, I know how filled my wardrobe will become, I’ll buy bags and all. I give up” Fikayo said as Ibk nodded.
“My subscribers should reach over nine hundred thousand with the video I uploaded so when we get home, I’ll send you the links. Do post it and tell your people to subscribe o” Ibk said as Fikayo chuckled at her.
“You are buying it?” Fikayo asked as Ibk nodded.
“Sure. I can’t pass on that” Ibk replied.
“You have more than enough posters in your room nah” Blessing said as Ibk glared at her.
“I don’t have that particular one and I really like that picture” Ibk replied as Blessing shook her head at her.
“Sha be wasting one on persin wey no know you” a girl said as Ibukun turned to her.
“It’s because you don’t mind your business that’s why your lips as is big as your head” Ibukun replied as the class roared with laughter.
“He doesn’t even know you. I don’t care whatever you want to say. Stop obsessing over him” the girl said again although clearly angry at the embarrassment that Ibk had caused her.
“I can’t blame you, your IQ is too low for you to understand the word obsession” Ibukun shot back at her as the class roared with laughter.
The girl glared at Ibukun hatefully.
“Chiamanda don’t even say anything again. You like trouble o” a guy said still laughing.
“Abi nah, we all know Ibk is Lashe’s big fan, even if you are insulting Blessing and Fikayo in her front, she may just be laughing but the moment you say just one bad thing about Lashe, she blows up. Knowing that and still talking, you like trouble o” another gut added.
“No mind am, she dey look for daily dose of insults” another guy said and everyone burst into laughter.
Fikayo hissed as she glared at Chiamanda “There are special reasons why Igbos’ are Igbos’” Fikayo said as Chiamanda turned to Fikayo.
“What do you mean?” she asked as Fikayo ran her eyes up and down.
“Don’t even let me get started with you. look for someone else if you want to exchange worse. We are in the same class but we are definitely not in the same level so better watch yourself” Fikayo said emaciating each word.
“Madd oh!”
“Fikayo no spare the girl sef”
Fikayo hissed as she turned back to Ibk “Are you really buying it?” Fikayo asked as she folded her hands even when she already knew the answer she was going to get.
“Is there a merch I came across and didn’t buy?” Ibk asked as Fikayo pursed her lips at her best friend.
“E dey your body” Blessing said directly saying Fikayo’s thoughts. Fikayo immediately high fived her. Ibk merely laughed without saying anything.
The class was noisy and Ibk opened her locker and at the top corner, one could see a small picture of a young teenager smiling widely at the camera with his hands in his pockets. Ibk took out her notes and she rested her back on her chair as she stared at the chair.
She smiled at the picture and nodded. “Have a nice day Lashe” she said as closed her locker and stood up while facing her friends.
“We have Biology, practical” she said as she walked out of the class with a small smile on her face.
Ibk walked into the sitting room and slumped into a chair. Her sisters didn’t bother to glance at her as they continued watching the movie playing on the screen.“Which movie is this?” Ibk asked.“Crash Landing on You” Nife replied and Ibk quickly sat up.“What episode is this?” Ibk asked.“We just started” Nife replied as Ibk hurried up the stairs. She hurriedly pulled off her uniform and sneakers. She grabbed a pair of shorts from her wardrobe and a small top before hurrying back to the sitting room.She sat down while trying to wear her blouse. She finally wore her blouse as she sat down, her eyes trained on the movie.“What’s has happened?” Ibk asked as Nife leaned closer to her to explain what had happened in the previous scenes.“Okay” Ibk nodded as Nife explained, her eyes on the Tv at the same time.....Ibk turned to Toluwanimi as she remembered something “Has the list come out?” Ibukun asked a
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
