The moment Ibukun walked into the class, Blessing and Fikayo rushed towards her with shocked faces.
“What did you do Ibukun?” Fikayo asked and Ibukun sighed.
“I rejected him okay. You already know what happened, stop pestering me” Ibukun replied as she walked to her seat with everyone’s eyes on her.
“Why?” Fikayo asked as she placed her hands on her forehead before turning back to Ibukun.
“Do you even know who asked you out?” Blessing asked and Ibukun rolled her eyes.
“Everyone is talking about how self-conceited you are. They said that he liked you for four years and you didn’t even take that into consideration and rejected him” Fikayo said and Ibukun sighed.
“That was expected” Ibukun said and Fikayo scoffed.
“Really? Why did you reject him by the way? Did you have to tell a lie that you have a boyfriend?” Fikayo asked and Ibukun scoffed as well.
“And who told you that it’s a lie?” Ibukun asked as Blessing and Fikayo’s eyes widened.<
“With the way you itch to hear gossip; I think you should have been born a girl” Ibukun replied as she pushed his head away. Juwon pouted as he adjusted himself on the armchair.“You can’t even share small juicy gossip” Juwon complained and Ibukun rolled her eyes.“Thankfully, you’ll be back to where you came from by Wednesday, I don’t think I can stand you any longer” Ibukun said and Juwon scoffed.“Don’t think I want to stay here as well” Juwon also retorted and Ibukun hissed.“Mister, you haven’t told me why you kept yelling my name” Ibukun said and Juwon slowly sat up on the armchair.“Actually, I was bored so I wanted you to join me” Juwon replied as Ibukun turned to him her jaw open.“Oluwajuwonlo!” Ibukun exclaimed before she shot out of her seat to grab Juwon but the latter was faster than her and he skilfully jumped over the armchair and burst into a race.“You are so dead” Ibukun yelled after him as she chased after him hotly.
“Do you have a reservation?” she asked as scanned the both of them. both looked exquisite and sophisticated. One of them was covered from head to toe while the other looked around curiously.“Yes. I made it online” Lashe replied slowly as he showed the waiter his phone. The waiter checked his phone and her eyes widened.These young teens had a freaking reservation! That wasn’t the point, they had booked a private room!She instantly wore her best smile and bowed a little at the both of them “Pardon me, I’ll take you to your private room now” she said and Lashe nodded as he held Ibukun and they followed the waitress as she led them into the elevator. They stopped at the third floor and she led them to a room.“This is your reservation” she said and Ibukun gave her a small smile.“Thank you” she said as she opened the door and pulled Lashe inside.The waitress wiped off imaginary beads of sweat off her forehead. She almost asked them if they really
“You want me to seat and do anything?” Ibukun asked and Lashe shrugged.“You are the one who doesn’t have a talent in dancing or singing” Lashe replied as he burst into laughter and Ibukun pouted as she hit him playfully.“I learn miser” Ibukun said and Lashe raised an eyebrow at her with a bright smile. He stopped a taxi and turned to Ibukun.“You totally made my day” Lashe said softly as he squeezed Ibukun’s hands. Ibukun nodded and smiled.“You made my day too” Ibukun mumbled and Lashe smiled at her.“Call me when you get home” Lashe said as he opened the door for her. Ibukun shook her head at him as she got into the car.“You never forget your signature word. Call me when you get home. You forgot the last part of the statement” Ibukun joked and Lashe smiled.“Don’t keep me worried” Lashe said and Ibukun laughed and Lashe peered into the taxi.“Don’t forget okay?” he said as he dropped a kiss on her forehead and closed the door leav
“Ibukun!” Tosinmile yelled.“Yes?” Ibukun asked yelling as well.“Come downstairs right now!” Tosinmile replied.“Right now. Make it quick” Tosinmile added and Ibukun shot out of her bed as she ran out of her room running downstairs as soon as she sensed the urgency in Tosinmile’s tone.“What happened?” she asked as soon as she reached downstairs. Tosinmile turned her phone towards her.“You guys weren’t careful enough” Tosinmile said as Ibukun collected the phone from her and there was a picture of she and Lashe. It was when Lashe was calling and had removed his sun glasses while she leaned into his chest. Lashe’s face obvious but since she had buried her head in his chest; no one could see her face.“The picture is circulating like crazy” Tosinmile said as she collected her phone. Ibukun rubbed her forehead slowly.“The person is crazy. Why wait for about four days before posting the picture?” Ibukun asked as she sighed.“At least, o
Lashe was unable to find his voice for a long time. He stared at Toluwanimi who’s gaze didn’t waver from him for even a second.“Nimi, do you know what you are saying?” Lashe asked slowly.“Lashe, I know what I am saying okay? I know what I am saying. And I am telling you that I like you” Tolu replied and Lashe sighed.“How can you like me? I am dating your younger sister. I’m dating Ibukunoluwa” Lashe said and Tolu scoffed.“So what? Because Ibukun likes you, I can’t like you huh? Is that it?” Tolu asked and Lashe was tongue-tied.“What part of her is better than me anyways? She’s just obsessed with you; she doesn’t love you! don’t mistake obsession for love” Tolu screeched and Lashe chuckled.“Tolu……what did you just say?” a soft voice asked and both Tolu and Lashe turned to see Ibukun standing a few meters away from them. she had a blank look on her face and Lashe immediately rushed towards her.“Since when have you been here?” Lashe aske
“I hate myself” Tolu cried but Demola just looked into the darkness without saying anything.“I can’t believe I didn’t realize I had such feelings for him until he and Ibukun started dating. Just how stupid I am. How can I call myself her elder sister? She even caught me confessing to her boyfriend. God, I’m so horrible” Tolu continued crying and Demola sighed.“I can’t believe I liked a girl who is this horrible” Demola said softly and Tolu froze and her tears and sobs seemed to take a pause as well. She slowly loosened her hold around Demola’s waist. She raised her head to meet his gaze.“Why are you looking at me like that?” Demola asked slowly unable to stop the heartache in his heart.“I liked you. I like you but it seems like it’s not the same with you. Even still, we were friends, you shouldn’t have treated your younger sister like that” Demola said as he sighed and slipped his hands into his pockets.“Toluwanimi, you are a horrible human being”
Tosinmile swallowed her saliva without saying anything. Ibukun continued to stare into space dazed.“Tolu likes Lashe” she repeated again. Tosinmile sighed as she slowly patted Ibukun’s hands.“She said I was obsessed with me. That she posted the picture intentionally” Ibukun said slowly as she blinked her eyes.“Why?” Ibukun asked as she turned to Tosinmile. A lone tear slid down her cheeks and Ibukun blinked her eyes rapidly; trying to prevent the other tears from running down her cheeks.“Why did she have to do that?” Ibukun asked as more tears rolled down her cheeks.“Why…... Why……. Why… Why …….” Ibukun found it unable to complete her statement as she broke into sobs. Her own sister had fallen in love with her boyfriend, as if that was not enough; she had even tried to cause a rift between both of them and instigated that she was just obsessed with him.More tears rolled down her cheeks as her body shook and moved to and fro as she cried. Tosi
“Hey” Mary said softly as she sat on her bed that was facing Tolu’s bed. Tolu who had been lying on the bed and staring into space looked startled at the sight of her best friends. Mary was seating on her bed and looking at her with kind eyes while Rebecca leaned on one of the bunks and folded her arms.“Are you okay?” Mary asked slowly and Tolu slowly sat up on the bed. Tears streamed down her cheeks and Rebecca quickly rushed to her with Mary following.“What is it?” Rebecca asked as she tried to wipe Tolu’s tears.“I am a horrible person” Tolu murmured as Mary sighed.Ibukun fell on the bed as she sighed. It had been one week since someone took a picture of her and Lashe and posted it and funny enough, it was still trending like crazy. At first people were only speculating what was the relationship between them and were waiting patiently for Lashe to give his official statement.It wasn’t until she got home that she r
