CHAPTER 14
"So, has he asked you to be his girlfriend yet?" Amarachi asked with a smile as we all entered my room.
"Err... that would be too fast ah," I replied with a smile.
She shrugged. "Eh ehn. It doesn't matter nah, you guys don't have much time left."
I sighed as I sat on my bed. "No be so them dey take do am."
She scoffed, making them chuckle. "She's saying the truth though," Esse commented with a smile. Making her scoff again.
"Agebi."
"That reminds me. How far that Cinmisola babe that your mom is always comparing you to?" Amarachi asked all of a sudden, with a mischievous smile.
Toyosi, Soma, Science, and the triplets exchanged glance before Toyosi then replied. "She wasn't so perfect and got pregnant, so her mom pulled her out of school and they moved to the village.
"Mad o," Amarachi let our abruptly, while Tosin walked into the room.
"How?" I asked, smiling at Tosin.
Tosin's eyes widened as my words and reaction in confusion, but was put to rest when Toyosi said, "We don't really know the full gist. It's mostly the parents that know the whole thing."
"Ah." Amarachi nodded.
"And I low-key wanted to see her oh," Esse said.
"Me too," I honestly agreed.
"What about the 'Truth or Dare story'?" Joseph asked, stretching his legs on the floor, occupying more space.
"Oh yes. Lemme tell you that one," Toyosi said with a smile, sitting up as she cleared her throat. She had opened her mouth to talk, but she then shut it back, looking at Science. Looking at him pitifully.
He shrugged with a nod.
I exchanged glances with Esse and Amarachi, shrugging.
"It started with Science's twin sister, Art," she had begun, making us frown. "Her suicidal pass-away, was where it had all began."
It was that moment we all understood why she gave him the look, seeking for his approval.
"Condolences," Esse said in a low tone, smiling to him.
"Thank you," he replied with a smile, while we all began to give him our condolences too. "Thank you all." He kept his smile on, but it was very obvious he was still affected by it and was still hurt by it.
"She was the nicest and happiest person one could come across," Toyosi continued. "So we thought." She paused for a while with a sigh, trying not to look at Science again. "But we didn't know that Zarah was tormenting her and making her life hard."
We lost track of time listening to Toyosi's story that, we didn't know when it became super dark. We all had sad and sorrowful faces, while Abdul was in silent tears.
Toyosi had really been through a lot of things that we didn't know about. I felt really sad for her.
"I'd really love to see this Zarah girl," Tosin said out of the blues, making all our attention turn to her. She shrugged. "I mean, come on. She has to be the perfect person there is, or I'm going to divide into bits."
Soma scoffed. "She's not even prettier than Ella."
"Hmmm, emotions are speaking," I teased him, making him smile.
"Oh, please. It's the truth," he tried to defend.
But, I didn't stop teasing as I kept on wiggling my brows at him, making him blush and his smile widen.
"I'll kill you," he mouthed to me, running his thumb across his neck to back up his words.
I smiled but didn't stop.
"And I'd love to see the John guy," Esse said.
"True that," I backed her up.
"Guys, its dinner time," Collins quickly butted in.
We all began to check the time, making most of us smile. "That's where you'd be found," I said, laughing at Collins, making everyone laugh.
He scoffed.
We all stood up and began, packing our stuff as we left for the dining hall. Tosin stayed behind while we left. It was when we were about to enter the lift that I had realized how close we had become over those few days. I was really happy for growth, and also happy that we met them. That I had met them.
Toyosi had created a WhatsApp group chat that we were all in, including Tosin.
We laughed like clowns as we made our ways to the dining hall. They made me laugh a lot, and I was so happy about that.
