"Nothing, just enter."
When we were all seated, we were silent, what did we have to say? Aisha was giving me this look to warn me to keep cool, I was trying hard, my fists were clenched, my nails were tearing my skin but I didn't care.
"Hey Aisha." Olivia said.
"Hmm." Aisha nodded as she started the car to drive, we drove in silence and within minutes we arrived there, we successfully parked the car and we got into the place with our tickets.
Other artistes were performing on stage when we got in. It was past 11 already, almost midnight.
I got down from the car grabbed my bag and angrily marched away.
Why did they have to bring her here?
The girls caught up with me.
"Girl, cool down." Debra yelled over the loud music.
"Why did you bring her here?" I yelled back.
I looked in the direction of where my name was called.It was a friend of my brother.Daniel's friend, Kento.Uh oh!"I didn't know you were the one fighting.. I mean I heard two girls were fighting, I didn't expect it to be you, I didn't even know you'd be here." he said.I rolled my eyes, he'll definitely tell my brother he saw me here."My guy let me speak with you " he said to the bouncer. The bouncer shook his head, he refused to be talked out of letting Olivia and I stay."There's nothing to tell me, they are not staying "he spat harshly."Guy, no dey speak English, if you don't know, this is Benita not just an ordinary Benita but Benita Modupe." Kento explained.The bouncer didn't listen as he still pulled me by the arm.Kento quickly excused himself, he typed something on
So we were back to school.Olivia was able to convince her mom she wasn't interested in staying in the same room with us and as expected, Jenny left with her.We had new roomies, two church girls!Anu and Rona.It wasn't bad that we had these type of girls as roomies but it felt uncomfortable in a way.The second week in school, I decided to make a twerk video, so I placed my phone on the mirror stand and played Cardi B's Money.Just while I started dancing and my friends were cheering, Rona played the popular gospel 'Ekueme' and both Anu and Rona sang the song along.I didn't mind at first but some minutes later, I started feeling guilty and my friends felt the same awkward feeling I had as they stopped cheering me and stole glances at these new girls.I stopped my dance, saved the short video and went to sit in my bed watching these girls read their hand
Hold on a sec.Michael was happy to see her as he opened his arms to receive her, he didn't look a bit surprised to see me, Emeka obviously told him I was here.Why was life being so cruel?Why does the dramas all revolve around me?"meet my friend Benita, Benita this is Michael " Nk introduced. What was the point?" Hello Cora... Benita " Michael smiled at me." Hey " I managed to say for Nk's sake.Why does he have to act cool about this? It isn't fair! Besides, when did he name himself Michael!!!He left to get us water and Nk asked me how cute I thought he was.I couldn't think straight, this shit isn't funny.Ifeoma, Eunice, Esther and my supposed new friend Nk.I shook my head in disgust, it shouldn't be my business whatsoever, I had Derrick to think of not Timi.
"Do you think we look good together, do you think we'll last ? " she asked. A message popped in to my phone, I quickly picked it with one hand to check it, it was from Timi.you looked beautiful as always pumpkin.I smirked devilishly at her "you both look perfect together, he doesn't look like an heart breaker at all.... He doesn't"Later on.Going to Rona and Anu's church was quite cool. Not like we had not gone there before, we had but it's either we go late or leave the church service earlier than expected.Rona especially, prevented us from putting on short gowns or dresses that didn't cover up properly. We didn't have any that she liked so she ended up giving us some of her gowns that she felt were proper enough.I didn't like the whole idea, I had never worn something belonging to an outsider apart from my friend's.Aisha temper
I was so bored!I had to leave work to come chill with Emeka.I was practically the owner of my company so I could do anything I choose to do like putting work aside for a little while.I had different guys I could hang out with, I wasn't particularly close to Emeka because he was a boring person, he preferred going to work then coming back home then work, home, work, work, home.The first time I came to chill at his place, it was surprising to both the guy and myself because he was the last person I would want to stay with.When Benita told she me she gained admission to the university, my initial plan to get under her skirt seemed impossible and being the type I was, I chose to get exactly what I wanted.I thought of all the friends I had that lived around the school's vicinity but I had none staying there not until I remembered I had a boring business partner who lives a
"Hello, how are you?" I asked."I'm fine, wow, I didn't expect this call at all, I'm surprised""Yeah, I also didn't expect I'll call you. Well em I want to ask a favour from you...? " I wanted to go straight to the point, I don't like the vibe around her so I need to end this conversation soon ."Ohh, okay, anything sweetie " she answered."I need you to text me your hostel block number and all, I need to see Cora, I should call her but it's more of a surprise."She was quiet for a while then she finally spoke up "well okay, she's staying with me at my new place.... You can as well come today, I'll text you the address soon"Cora didn't tell me her friend Anita moved away and neither did she tell me she was staying with her.I thought they weren't in good terms.. well we hadn't talked for a while so there was no way I would have found out.&
Cora's POVThe Saturday was just too boring, I spent the whole day chatting with Derrick.Debra had gone to play snooker somewhere I didn't know, I teased her on how she liked doing things that were just off and meant for guys and when she had no comeback for me, she took my car keys and ran off.Aisha decided to take Rona and Anu to show them some shops where they could get quality and 'EXPENSIVE' clothing so they could stop wearing the cheap things they called clothes because she couldn't afford to be seen in public with people that still dressed the way they dressed, not in this modern world.Well, those were exactly her words.I didn't want to go out because my period was due, it was Saturday today but it should have come since on Thursday and with the sugary things I've been taking for the past few days I know it'll come with cramps , so I just had to stay home and wait fo
TIMI'S POVThe look on Cora's face didn't look nice and I knew she was going to leave any time soon. I wasn't going to allow that happen not anymore, I had to calm these odd feelings I had, I just needed her beside me.And now that I've found out Anita isn't a true friend after all, I would have to stop calling her."this one you people are acting as if this is one love movie, hope you remember I'm still here " Anita spits out." what part of keep quiet don't you understand. "I yelled as I threw down the hideous flower vase in anger." if you say any word again Anita, I'll break your head this time and I mean it " It was an empty threat but I just had to say it.I was shooting daggers at her eyes then I noticed she wasn't focused on me, she looked past me, I turned my attention back to where Cora was but she wasn't there, she ran off.This w
