'You are lying jhare,' Valerie said in shock, pushing Selah lightly.

She had just been informed by her friend that Ese, Segun and one guy she didn't know asked her out in one day.

'You're lucky na. You have three guys and some of us haven't found someone to crush on sef. Wait o, you mean now you have potential bf and two on awaiting result?'

Selah looked at the smile and shock on her friends face, which didn't seem to hit her why she was behaving like her wedding was coming up. She just watched quietly, pressing her phone and ignoring the tafia her friend was about to indulge her in.

'Selah! Selah!,' she called twice.

'Eh!,' she replied nonchalantly, still engaged with her phone.

'Now you want to do shakara because say you get boyfriend and waiting guys.'

'Sister, if you want one, I will gladly give you or two for that matter, we can share, mmm,' she replied with a straight face, full of seriousness.

'Take it easy o. I don't like any of them sef. I was going to advise you to stick to Chris or whoever that is and leave these ones alone, but it will look like bad belle.'

Her phone rings.

Ese calling

'Hello!'

'Selah what's up, are you in school?'

'No. I went out with Valerie.'

'Please when you're back, I want us to talk, okay.'

'I hear you.'

When she dropped the call, she caught Valerie staring at her, with glowing eyeballs.

'What?'

'Delilah Linus! Me and you that is inside school ni?'

'Leave me jhare. Is it your lying?'

'Hell has a special place for you to rest your body.'

'You're coming with me o,' she said, switching on her data, just to check if her boyfriend was online and he was.

Selah : Hey babe

Waits for some minutes

Chris : typing......
Hey Tee. Good afternoon.

Selah : what's Tee?

Chris : it's a nickname I gave you

Selah : how is your day going?

Chris : good, how's yours?

Selah : just there. Wish you were here.

Chris : Got a lot of work here but I'll see you when you come home.

Selah : okay. Gotta go. I love you so much.

Chris : me too babe.

Selah immediately changed Chris' name in her phone from Chris to Poppy.

'Babe, we get assignment o,' she tapped Valerie who was already asleep from the boredom Selah was spraying around her.

'We will do it tomorrow,' she replied and faced the other side.

'Shift for me, let me sleep too.'

Three weeks later

'Hello babe,' Selah said on her call with Chris.

'How are you Ma'am?'

'Good. Are you busy in school this weekend? I actually wanted you to come see me in school.'

'Uhmmm... I don't know yet. Got a lot to cover but I'll let you know when I'm less busy.'

'Okay. Just let me know on time. I really want to see you.'

'Are you sure that's all you want to do?' he asked, laughing sarcastically.

Who is doing this one?

'What do you think I want to do with you ni? Don't have hopes like that,' she replied smiling on her own end.

'I hear you Ma. Gotta go. I love you.'

She smiled, 'I love you too.'

Message from Segun

'Hey Selah! Hope you're okay. Not heard from you in a while so just wanna  make sure you ain't avoiding me. How about I take you out. Call me when you see this!'

Dear Diary

Confusion has set in. Weeks back, Segun and Ese asked me out and I told them I'll think about it
I lied. I'm not thinking about it...I'm not even dreaming it.
I don't like them like that, but I don't know how to say no to them. I can't hurt their feelings...blah blah blah
Dunno what to write right now, just scripting shit...bye.

'Babe,' Valerie called her on her way to class, 'You don ready?'

'Yes. Let me carry my book.' Then she walked out and turned round for Vanessa to examine her dressing.

'How do I look?'

'Like a mother-in-law. You're fine jhare. Let's go.'

When they got to class, the lecturer was inside and the door closed. They giggled quietly and stood outside, as other classmates joined them. After some minutes, he opened the door, sanctioned them and granted them passage.

Valerie and Selah chose to sit at the back, followed by a new female classmate who stood outside with them. During the class, Selah introduced herself and the girl smiled, did the same thing.

'My name is Rachel.'

'How come I have never seen you in this class before?' Selah asked again, this time answered by the lecturer.

'Selah! What are the jobs of PRO's in an agency?'

Valerie giggled till tears dropped from her eyes.

I don't know the answer, based on it's the first time you're teaching us this... sometimes you people wee just ask annoying questions, embarrassing me like this. Let the ground open and swallow me, please.

'I don't know Sir,' she replied, eyes looking down at her desk.

'You only know how to talk about irrelevant things in class, instead of listening. Sit down, with your small body like ashawo shoes,' he said and faced the class.

Selah's face turned red in anger, while Valerie and Rachel quietly giggled out their lungs.
