"Wale..."

"Yeah?"

"Nothing,"

"Why the tears?" he asks, wiping them off. "I told you you look like a penguin when you cry. What's up?" he asks and I chuckle even through the burning tears.

I've grown into you. I am literally craving your lips. I need you... But I don't want to say it... That's what's up!

"Just the physics test... I failed it," I reply and he stares at me. "What?" I ask and he chuckles. My stomach flutters and I look away, feeling so bad, yet so good.

"Liar," he snorts.

"Can I leave?" I ask and walk away without a response. He does follow me to the class and I settle on my seat silently.

"Everyone get the 3k for us tomorrow," Daniel says proudly. Cow.

"It's not our fault you're an emtionless freak," Korede says and we all laugh. I manage to laugh. Trust me, it's really funny.

"Maybe he did get turned on but it was too small for anyone to realize something rose," Nini blurts and we all roar into laughter once again. I hold my tummy, laughing hard.

"Nah, Lucy just got no skills," Daniel says in his defence and Lucy casts him a death glare. Poor girl did her best.

"Meanwhile, I turned Wale on," Nifemi says proudly and I turn away. "If his so-called best friend tried, I bet she'd never be able to turn him on ," she smirks.

Let's not ignore the fact it took ages for her to turn Wale on.

"Who knows if she can turn even herself on?" she asks and they all burst out laughing. It's all because of Wale she even won that stupid challenge.

"Well, I can!" I shoot as I stand up and they all burst out laughing. That's not what I meant.

"Hmmm... so you do masturbate? Tell us what it feels like. Ever had an orgasm? Wait. Are you a virgin?" she asks and everyone laughs so hard I feel like crying. My eyes water.

Wale grabs me by my arm and walks up to Nifemi. "She doesn't need to turn herself on when I can do that," Wale says and everyone gets stunned. The butterflies flutter at the depth of my tummy and I can't hold it anymore.

"Mind your mouth around her," he warns Nifemi and we walk out of the class with me behind him, my visions blurred with tears. We reach the back staircase.

"You didn't have to say that," I say, trying so hard to hide my overly reddened cheeks. I hide it away by turning.

"You're smiling," he says with a chuckle. "Wait. Are you blushing?" he asks and I can't help it. I can't face him right now.

"No... I'm not," I lie.

"I know you are," he says and slaps my cheek playfully. "But honestly, if she says anything like that, you tell me, " he says protectively. This is the part of Wale I've always been craving for.

He doesn't even need to turn me on. He's done it a thousand times without even knowing it.

"Thanks, Dad!" I say and we both chuckle.

It feels great to have my boyfriend back. Sorry, best friend.

"I think Molly likes Daniel," Kai'sha says as we stare at the cheerleading team. She eyes Daniel in the field and cuts her gaze.

"Bad luck for her. She fell for a non-living thing. She fell for 'it'," I say and we both burst out chuckling. Sometimes I forget even Ka'isha likes Daniel but I guess a good laugh won't kill.

"What are we laughing about?" Nini asks as she sits in between Ka'isha and I.

"Where's your hot boyfriend?" Ka'isha asks, typing whatever into her phone.

"He's playing basketball," she replies, staring at the cheerleading team. Just behind is the basketball team in practice. Serious practice. "Who has noticed Molly has a thing for Daniel?" she asks and Ka'isha and I burst out laughing so hard.

"Like, Guy... today in class she couldn't take her eyes off the guy. And when Lucy went to him... haew," Ka'isha throws her hand up in the air and we all start laughing once again.

"But the thing is, that cow is an emotionless one. Whatever love she has for him should just be washed into the sea because that proud goat... Would never bring himself to admit he has feelings. Talk less of Molly who isn't one of the " upper standards" in that class," I air quote.

"True sha," Nini says between laughter.

"I can't even imagine Molly dating Daniel Adenuga. That day, make I shit frog," Ka'isha says dramatically and we all roll in fits of laughter.

"Let's start heading back to class. We have Maths," Nini says in a groan. "The way I hate maths. Swear if I didn't need it for engineering, I would've dropped it since the dawn of the day," she says and Ka'isha and I agree.

"So, Fisayo, how far Caedon?" Nini asks with a wink. I sigh.

"Abeg. Free me," I say with a stressed sigh as we reach the top floor and head to our class.

"Seems like someone is having a hard time," Nini says as she sits on the table of my seat and flips her hair backward, grabbing her phone. No one else is in the class and we just chill with the air conditioning.

"I don't know why I can't tell him. Yesterday I was going to. Honestly," I say and look back at his seat. "But the estate taxi showed up and he left," I continue and look up at Ka'isha.

"Last time it was Molly that interrupted. Now the estate taxi? Look, Fisayo, you would do this thing without excuses if you gather enough guts. What if Caedon feels the same?" Ka'isha asks.

"She's right," Nini says and slowly flips her hair once more. "I think you should give it a shot. You two are a match made in heaven!" her eyes gleam in a smile.

"Which two are a match made in heaven?" Korede asks as he walks into the class. He gives Nini a kiss I am instantly jealous of and grabs her ass. "I need to skip maths class today babe," he says, perfecting her edges with his fingers.

"But babe... You promised no more skipping of..." her voice fades as I grab my diary in my hand and head out of the class. Since Seun is seeming so unrepentant about my personal stuffs, I took it elsewhere.

Dear Diary,

I don't know how to do it or if I even want to do it. I mean, he's hot and all but it may ruin our friendship. I

"You have a crush on a boy?"

"Wale!" I yell at the top of my voice as he snatches my diary from my hands. "Please give it back. Wale I am serious a fuck. Return my diary. Wale please - "

"On one condition," he says, closing the diary and placing it under his arm. "You tell me who this guy is. And I honestly don't want you lying to me. I want to see your taste and I swear I'll make this nigga fall hard for you. If he doesn't fall for you, then I am killing him. Deal?"

"Wale, I - "

"Have we got ourselves a deal or not?" he asks impatiently. Who the fuck am I going to mention? Only one person can match the guts of Wale if he tries, but no I can't even imagine saying it loud with my own mouth.

"Deal?" he asks impatiently.

"Wale, please - "

"I'll open the book and find out I!" he threatens, flashing one of his killer smiles. I'm in between daydreaming and snapping to my harsh reality.

"No, don't!" I stop him.

"Then, deal?"

"Deal," I mutter under my breath.
