KHALID

" The fact that we are all tired, and we don't want to go for our next classes, don't you think we should 'stab'?" Bimpe wriggled her brows, and we all turned to look at her.

"We should stab the remaining periods?" Kunmi asked with raised brows.

"You heard me right abi you're deaf nii?" She hissed and turned to others. The way they always banter like kids is always amusing, I don't even understand why they're always at each other's throats.

Currently, we were all at our rendezvous during the break and since we've started eating, every one of us have been complaining on the next periods, we all didn't want to go for the boring classes.

"Me I even forgot my physics assignment in the hostel and you know the way our teacher would start barking and doing like his head is there, I don't think I can withstand it at all, so, I agree with Bimpe," Doyin said in a muffled tone due to the plantain chips she was chewing.

"I also forgot my physics assignment," I told her and she smiled at me before raising her hand for a high five, I glanced at my hand in pity because Doyin's hand was very hard, anyone that receives a slap from her would surely lay unconscious for some minutes,  then I jammed my hands with hers before rubbing my palm on my school shorts.

"The thing that is even vexing me is that our Commerce teacher plans to beat everyone just because no one replied his question yesterday," Abee started.

And Kunmi continued, "It pained him like mad yesterday when we were all looking at him like a clown, so, he left our class in fury yesterday but not without reminding us to prepare for Conference beating today."

"Conference beating?" Bimpe questioned and he scowled at her.

"Nothing is wrong with your ear drum, so, you heard me."

Bimpe quickly dropped the bottle of her Sunny drink on the table prepared to fight, for the past few days, the drink had been popular in our school to the extent that students were now using it to oppress one another.

"Abi this one is stupid nii?" Bimpe shouted as she glared at Kunmi who blew out his cheeks.

"Okay guys, so far we all don't want to go back to class, let's stab," Kikiope who had been focused on her noodles voiced out.

"Yeah, but we can't stay in school oo," Doyin turned to her.

"I think we should just crash at Khalid's place," Bimpe suggested and our attention deviated to her that instant.

I pointed at my chest, "Like my place?"

She nodded, "Yeah, we'll be able to catch fun there."

"I agree," Kunmi concurred.

"Of course, you will," Bimpe bragged, and he gave her a funny look.

"So, who else agrees to that?" Bimpe asked and in a twinkle of an eye everyone agreed to it and before I could even protest to it, we all packed our bags and threw it out through the fence before walking out of the school casually with no one noticing, even the security officer believed we only went out to buy snacks.

We flagged a taxi that drove us  straight to my house.

"I told you guys that I always guess in a good way," Bimpe bragged as she slumped on the couch.

"As if," Kunmi replied before sitting beside her while we all dumped our bags on the centre rug before I walked up to our mini bar.

"Bring me grape wine oo," Kikiope shouted and I shook my head.

"Me too," Doyin added.

"And me oo," Bimpe said and Kunmi quickly turned to her.

"Your leg is paining you abi?" She rolled her eyes while I chuckled before serving the drink while Abee joined me.

Minutes later, we all settled down to a drink of grape wine amidst different talks.

"So, we're going to go back to school during closing?" Kikiope asked as she sipped from her drink.

"Yeah, AY still needs to take us home, so they won't suspect whereas Abee and Doyin won't sleep outside school right?" Bimpe replied.

"Yeah," Abee said.

"Everywhere is getting dry, let's play music," Kunmi suggested, and he stood up quickly, we all agreed to that, so he just turned on the TV and picked the remote before stationing it to Urban TV and the music started blasting.

"Yeee," Kikiope shouted as she rose and others joined her to dance. Abee increased the volume to the highest not minding if we were in GRA.

We had fun till it was time to go back to school, on getting back to school, it was already closing, so, Doyin and Abee just headed to the hostel while we still stayed a bit for AY who was yet to arrive, so, we used that medium to go back to our various classes to ask about the lesson taught till AY eventually arrived.

"Why are you staring?" Kikiope questioned as she raised her head from the note she was copying and our eyes met, I looked away quickly. We were both in my room, she decided to come to my place after AY dropped her.

"Wait, is that not Abimbola's handwriting?" I changed the topic swiftly as I picked up the note she was copying from.

"You'll surely know your girlfriend's handwriting," she said with a mocking smile.

"So, you guys are on the sisters level now because I know she can never lend you her note?"

Kikiope shook her head before reducing her voice as if any other person could hear, "I stole it from her bag."

"What!" My eyes widened and she smiled.

"Her bag was opened when we got back to our class, so I just picked out the book after realizing it was the only note they copied in our absence," she explained and I nodded.

"Just pray she doesn't find out or else..."

"She'll bark to death," she completed it and I laughed.

"And Abimbola doesn't bark that much oo," I reasoned when I stopped laughing.

She lifted her brows, "Of course to you, she doesn't bark that much, I wouldn't expect otherwise from you so far she's your girlfriend."

I shrugged, "I'm just stating the obvious."

She pursed her lips, "Stating the obvious or you're just covering up for the love of your life," she sneered.

I scoffed a laugh, "She isn't the love of my life."

She sat down quickly and tucked her leg beneath her abandoning the note she was writing, "If she isn't the love of your life, then why are you with her? I know you like that girl, you're just pretending because of us."

I squeezed my face, "I'm not pretending."

She shrugged, "Apparently you like her then, tell me what attracted you to her?"

I rested my head on my palm, "I don't know."

She banged her hand on the bed, "Why won't you know?"

I shrugged.

"You know I've been meaning to ask you, do you really like her or you're just using her to catch cruise?"

I scrunched up my brows, "See, I even have assignment," then I got down from the bed and walked up to my bag.

"Now you're evading the question," she whispered then I turned to look at her.

"I'm not evading it," I moved away swiftly and fumbled through my bag for my chemistry note.

"But you said it earlier that you weren't given any assignments," she pestered before going back to her previous sitting position.

"It just clicked now," I replied before dropping my book on my study table before sitting on my chair.

"Or you're trying to keep something," she smirked and I whirled my chair to look at her, she dashed me a grim smirk and I looked at her in confusion, then we gaped at each other in awkward silence for some seconds.

"You don't have any note to copy?" She broke the silence and I couldn't be more grateful for that.

"I told you I've given out my notes to those girls flying around me, advantage of being an handsome guy," I rubbed my chin in pride and she crinkled her nose.

"I don't know who is deceiving you," she hissed before turning back to complete the note she was copying while I chuckled, soon, her pen started dancing and I concentrated on her, actually, I didn't have any assignments or whatsoever, I Only used it as a cover up.

She concentrated fully on the note and didn't notice me staring at her so, I decided to feed my eyes well. The way her brows creased in concentration gave her a serious look, but she was still as pretty as ever, her...

"Keep staring oo," she shouted without looking up at me and I smiled.

Conference beating- is a type of beating where almost all the teachers in the school will flog you.
