“Lashe please can you lend me your phone?” Tolu asked as Lashe passed his phone to her as he continued checking through one of his notes. He was cross checking for his answers in the just finished tests.
Tolu blinked her eyes as she looked at the lock screen wallpaper. it was a GIF wallpaper of Ibukun trying to wink. 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. To anyone else, it would have been a random picture but Tolu recognised the pair of legs even before she recognised the pair of sneakers.

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. Else, how could one person fill his thoughts, his head, his mind and he even saw her face in his books and notes. 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. He didn’t know when or how it started. How Ibukun filled his head and his thoughts. How her beautiful smile always popped in his head once in a while. How he couldn’t help but take pictures of her each time they met.How he spent hours scrolling through the pictures he had tak
Lashe held Ibukun’s hands as they swung their entwined hands while they waited for a bike.“I’m writing anew song. 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 hardly have find time for myself these days. It will be harder and stressful to seat down and write an album. I could write singles rather easily” Lashe replied and Ibukun nodded as Lashe stopped a bike.Lashe released her hand reluctantly and he watched as Ibukun climbed the bike and sat down.“Call me when you get home, don’t…” Lashe started but Ibukun cut him off with a smile.“I won’t keep you worried” Ibukun finished with a smile and Lashe laughed.“Yes. Don’t keep me worried like the last time huh?” Lashe said and Ibukun nodded as she waved at Lashe as the bike man sped away.The
Tosinmile laughed and Ibukun glared at her “What part of what I said is funny?” Ibukun asked and Tosinmile shook her head.“I should have known something like this would happen sooner or later” Tosinmile said softly and Ibukun chuckled as she dropped her head and played with her fingers.“I know right. 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. I found out another part of him that no one knew about”“He was a whole total different person from the person
Ibukun placed her hand on her palm as she glanced towards where Fikayo and Aaron were seating and talking about their experiment. Ibukun chuckled as she turned to Blessing.“He’s surviving, I didn’t think he could survive for this long” Ibukun said and Blessing burst into laughter.“He really is” Blessing said as she yawned. Her eyes caught the bracelet on Ibukun’s hands and her eyes lit up in surprise.“Ibukun where did you get this bracelet from?” Blessing asked and Ibukun glanced at her hands and smiled.“Someone gave it to me” Ibukun replied and Blessing smiled.“It’s pretty and looks good on you” Blessing said and Ibukun smiled and nodded.“Thank you”“Do you have to say everything with a smile?” Fikayo asked and Aaron chuckled.“Why can’t I smile while talking?” Aaron asked and Fikayo scoffed.“Why must you smile? It’s not as if you won a lottery” Fikayo replied and Aaron chuckled.“I did win a lottery” Aar
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
The trio turned to Aaron who shrugged at them before turning to Fikayo.“Point of correction; I’m not in the wrong here” Fikayo said.“You are. She did tell you to stop it, you just didn’t stop, you added insults” Aaron replied as he rubbed his forehead.“Besides, no one calls their best friend stupid when they are serious” Aaron said as Fikayo frowned and shot up to her feet.“Are you seriously also on her side too? I just said I was joking, why are all of you taking it serious? Why are you ganging up against me?” Fikayo asked her eyes turned misty.“Fi……” Aaron didn’t get to talk before Fikayo ran out of the classroom. Aaron stood up as he sighed.“This is what she always does. Now we have to go and look for her and start begging her even when she’s the one at fault. We’ll apologise and she won’t apologise. What’s her problem exactly? I am tired of her. Who does she think she is anyways?” Blessing asked angrily.“I’m so thankful we are all
“You are still supporting them!” Fikayo snapped as she pushed Aaron away.“I hate you!” Fikayo yelled as tears ran down her cheeks faster.“Didn’t you say you don’t talk unless someone asks for your opinion? No one needs your opinion right now! I don’t” Fikayo yelled as she turned around and started walking away. Aaron sighed as he ran after her and grabbed her before turning her towards him.“I also talk when a friend needs it” Aaron said slowly and Fikayo gulped feeling stupid.Why was she crying anyways? Over a boy she didn’t even like. There were only few times that she cried and Aaron just had to see her while she cried.“They and she is your best friend, that wasn’t the right way to treat her and you know it. You might have been joking for real but she told you to stop it; you should have stopped then Fikayo” Aaron said slowly as Fikayo dropped her head.“They are the only people who have accepted you for who you are, they are only ones who
