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

Tolu stood in the line as she wiped the sweat off her forehead. As DUL wasn’t like every other university, registration started after the first tests.

It was already past 12pm and the line had not moved an inch for over an hour. A lot of students were entering with people they knew and getting things done.Tolu hissed as she had long realized that her mom great connections didn’t extend into DUL.

Tolu turned to Demola in reply at his reply.“We are going to your apartment?” Tolu asked and Demola nodded.“You have a problem?” Demola asked as he glanced at her a playful smile on his lips.“You are just going to cook for me, that’s all. Or are you thinking about something else?” Demola asked and burst into laughter as Tolu turned bright red.“I wasn’t thinking about anything. You are the one who has a dirty mind!” Tolu snapped at Demola who burst into another round of laughter. Tolu tried to keep her beating heart steady as Demola drove into a compound with rows of apartments.“You live here? This is so cool” Tolu said as Demola parked.“How much did you pay of this apartment?” Tolu asked and Demola chuckled.“Didn’t you see the banner above it?” Demola asked and Tolu turned to him.“What banner?” Tolu asked as Demola shook his head.“These apartments are for members for the DULSU” Demola replied and Tolu’s eyes widened.

Ibukun smiled as she pressed the phone closer to her ear “I kinda had a fight with Fikayo today” Ibukun said slowly.“Friends fight all the time, but why do you sound like that?” Lashe asked and Ibukun chuckled.“As I told you, Fikayo is very different somehow I and Blessing ended up pinching her sore spot but we are good now but I can’t believe I got scolded” Ibukun replied as she laughed.“Everyone gets scolded, you are sounding like you were disgraced” Lashe said and Ibukun burst into laughter.“Somehow. There’s this guy in my class who doesn’t talk. Everyone says he’s even shy to meet someone else’s eyes but he scolded both I and Blessing today and he was so coooollllll” Ibukun said and Lashe burst into laughter.“Really?” Lashe asked and Ibukun nodded even when she knew Lashe couldn’t see her.“He was really cool but he poked at my heart really bad.

Ibukun pursed her lips as she hitched closer to Blessing and Fikayo.“Guys, I want to ask you guys something” Ibukun said as Blessing turned to her.“What is it?” Fikayo asked.“It’s about Lashe” Ibukun said and Blessing laughed.“Come to think of it. You don’t hype and talk about him like before. You don’t like him again?” Blessing asked laughing and Ibukun slapped her hand playfully. She unfortunately couldn’t tell Blessing and Fikayo that he was still on the phone with Lashe the night before. That they were good friends and that he always sneaked out to see her. That she liked him and had feelings for her. Ibukun wondered what their reaction would be like when they found out these facts.“Says who?” Ibukun asked and burst into laughter.“If on his next fan talk, I ask him about his parents; do you think he will answer me? You know there’s nothing on the internet on his parents right?” Ibukun asked and Fikayo scoffed.“You are

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!

“You look very familiar” the man said and Ibukun hitched closer to Ibukun.“I told you not to underestimate your popularity” Ibukun whispered and Lashe playfully pushed her face away.“But I don’t know you” Lashe replied and the fire illuminated Lashe’s face again and the man laughed.“I know but your face looks very familiar” the man said as he wrapped up their suya for them. Lashe collected it and paid for it before pulling Ibukun.“Let’s go” Lashe said as they walked away. The suya man frowned as Lashe had disappeared into a distance.“Isn’t he that teen singer named Lashe?” the suya man asked no one in particular.Ibukun watched as Lashe slumped on the ground and brought out the suya sticks. She smiled before she sat down beside him. Lashe turned to her and handed her a suya stick.“This is for you” Lashe said and Ibukun smiled as she collected it.“You are becoming more gentlemanly” Ibukun teased and Lashe laughed.“Hey, it’
