Jemima and Doyin soon realized that the Heraline xoxo party wasn't a small party and a lot of people were invited. She was just in her second year but her influence in the school was quite huge. It was normal given that she was an Instagram influencer. To get into the party; you needed an invitation card and how Doyin and Jemima got one; both of them had no idea.

"I just can't seem to think of any connection between us" Doyin muttered, adjusting her head that was on Peter's lap.

"Are you sure you've not run into her at school or something?" Peter asked and Doyin shook her head.

"I don't think so. She's in the Faculty of Engineering; our paths will almost not cross and have in actuality never crossed. I have no idea of why she would have specially come to look for me to give me an invitation card" Doyin replied.

"Do you think someone asked her to give it to you?" Peter asked and Doyin shook her head.

"I may be a social butterfly but I don't think I know anyone that could ask Heraline to give me an invitation card to her party"

"Infact; the 100 level students attending her party are not even that much. I heard that only five students in Engineering got the invitation" Paul added and Doyin cocked her head.

"Please go to the party and ask her then" Jemima concluded.

"Do you know where the party is?" Paul asked.

"Yes. I asked around and it's a popular hotel near the school gate" Doyin replied nodding her head while Paul shrugged his shoulders.

"If you know where it is that's fine too" Paul muttered.

"Don't worry yourself too much, we are not babies and we can certainly take care of ourselves" Doyin said and Paul nodded his head turning to meet Peter's amused eyes.

Jemima could feel her roommates boring holes into her head and her body. Doyin had made sure she was loud enough when talking to her roommates that she was one of the few that got invited to Heraline's party. In fact, there were already rumours flying around of how Heraline herself had come to personally give Doyin the invitation card.

"Does she know Heraline?" She could hear Tamiloore whispering to Vickie who had her arms folded and was boring hole into her head.

For someone like Vickie who prided herself as classy and sophisticated, not getting an invitation to Heraline's party was a slap on her face.

"Is it true that Heraline xoxo came to give them the invitation card themselves?" Ayisat whispered, watching as Jemima sat on her bed tying her shoelaces.

The street style Farida had worn for a street festival had somehow gone viral on the internet. She was a princess and was an unrestrained one at that. Jemima had planned to wear something similar but at the end of the day chose to go with crazy baggy jeans and a crop top. After tying her laces, she rose to her feet and walked towards the wardrobe opening her jewelry box and fixing her magnetic belly button.

Jemima had no reason to why she was dressing up so much in the first place, she just wanted to look good, maybe really good because she knew no one, absolutely no one would under-dress to Heraline's party. She looked at the mirror in front of her while carefully applying her lip gloss.

"God, she looks good" Ayisat said aloud while Vickie turned to glare at her.

The door was immediately opened and Doyin walked into the room, her eyes bulging widely while staring at Jemima who slipped her hands into her pockets and raised her head up slightly.

"How do I look?" she asked.

"Sexy. You look so good and.... Oh my god! You have a belly piercing?" Doyin shouted and Jemima burst into laughter.

"My mom would kill me, it's magnetic" Jemima replied and Doyin covered her mouth staring at Jemima again.

"I'm straight, I'm straight in the name of Jesus" Doyin muttered while Jemima shook her head at her still laughing. She was clad in a black round neck with XOXO boldly written on it and very small shorts that barely covered her thighs. The round neck and the shorts were about the same length. She went ahead to wear a net stockings to cover her thighs and her legs using boots as her footwear. She ended up wearing a slight gothic style.

"Could you please take our picture?" Doyin asked grinning as she stretched her phone towards Vickie who stared at both Doyin and the phone before collecting it from her.

"Thank you" Doyin grinned again, grabbing Jemima and posing with her. Vickie took a few shots and Jemima carried her bag.

"Let's go" she said and they both stepped out of the room while many eyes followed them out of the hostel.

"Why do I have an inkling that Vickie must have made us very ugly when she took those pictures?" Doyin asked as they both walked out of the hostel getting into the Uber they had ordered before.

She opened her phone and scrolled through the pictures, a surprised expression spreading across her face.

"These are Instagram worthy pictures Jemi, Vickie could pass for a photographer" Doyin said passing the phone to Jemima to show her the pictures. And in reality; Doyin wasn't lying, Vickie had indeed taken the pictures well, all the angles, their smiles and giggles, their arrogance radiated off the pictures.

"I'm posting them to my story first, '' Doyin said, scrolling through the pictures with glee.

"Remember to airdrop pictures mama" Jemima said smiling and scrolling through her phone. A notification appeared at the top of the screen. It was a message asking her if they had left the hostel yet. She quickly tapped on the message and replied to him telling him they had just left.

She vividly remembered when they had first met, their interactions and how she almost gave them away. The thoughts made her laugh and Doyin turned to her confused.

"Why are you laughing?" Doyin asked.

"Well, I just randomly remembered when we first met," Jemima replied and they both burst into laughter.

"Well, I'm glad I ran after you that day" Doyin replied and Jemima nodded her head.

"I'm glad too," she replied, her smile bigger.

Jemima and Doyin had apparently underestimated the influence of Heraline in CUA, the hotel for the party was crowded with students and cars and loud music,

"Is that a fucking power bike?" Doyin asked her eyes wide and Jemima nodded her head at the loss of words.

"Yes Doyin. That's a mother fucking power bike" She whisper yelled. The bouncers at the entrance looked like they could snap heads in half if anyone messed with them and Doyin managed to wear a smile as they approached them. She stretched the card to them and one of them collected it from her scanning the card and the girls standing in front of them and returned the card to them.

"Can we go in now?" Doyin asked apprehensively. The one who had collected the card from them nodded his head and Doyin grabbed Jemima's hand while the both of them fled inside the party.

"God of mercy, how do they look like that?" Doyin asked and Jemima laughed looking around.

"This is almost like a fashion show" Doyin whispered while Jemima nodded her head taking notes of the styles and dresses.

"So what do we do now?" Doyin asked.

"Let's find a corner to sit in first. We'll look for Heraline later" Jemima replied and they both tried to paraphrase their way through the numerous students to another corner of the party. Several people were moving around carrying cocktails and drinks; Jemima stopped one of them taking a drink off the tray and Doyin also stretched and took one too. She then offered the server a smile.

"Thank you".

"Do you have an idea of what we carried?" Doyin asked, sniffing the drink they had carried off the tray.

"It's Sprite and lime" the server replied and Doyin turned to him.

"Ha" Doyin replied, chuckling.

"Do you have any idea where the bar is?" Doyin asked and the server nodded.

"What do you want me to bring for you?" Doyin asked and Jemima shook her head.

"I'm fine," She replied.

"Please lead the way," Doyin said to the server, who darted another glance at Jemima before lowering his tray and leading the way for Doyin.

Jemima scrolled through her phone replying to some of the texts and rolling her eyes at the fact that someone had mentioned that she was at Heraline xoxo's party. She sipped her drink squeezing her face at the taste. It was more of Lime with a sprinkle of sprite.

"You came" someone said above her head and looked upwards to meet Heraline eyes. The latter was obviously on contacts because grey eyes stared back at her and underneath the multicolored lights, Jemima had to admit that grey was a very beautiful colour of eyes.

"Did you think we wouldn't show up?" Jemimah asked, dropping the drink on the table.

"I wasn't sure" Heraline replied smiling and glancing at the drink Jemima had dropped on the table.

"It's bitter" Jemima replied and Heraline burst into laughter.

"Follow me, I'll give you a better one" Heraline replied, stretching her hand out and grabbing Jemima's hands much to her surprise.

"Heraline" Jemima called and Heraline turned to her. It was then that Jemima realized that she was dressed almost the same as Doyin except that she was wearing a very short skirt and a crop top instead.

"Huh?"

"Do you know me?" Jemima asked and Heraline grinned.

"Not really" she replied.

"Why did you give us an invitation card?" Jemima asked.

"Did someone ask you to?" Jemima asked again while Heraline furrowed her brows.

"Why would you think that?" Heraline asked.

"I saw your picture on FOMES and you were really pretty," Heraline replied."

"But it was Doyin who you gave the invitation card to," Jemima pointed out.

"She was outside when I came to find you so I just gave her and told her the card was for you" Heraline replied and Jemima nodded before raising her brows.

"Are you straight?" Jemima suddenly asked freezing Heraline in her steps. The latter turned to Jemima and then burst into laughter holding her stomach as she laughed.

"Girl what goes on in that head of yours?" She asked while Jemima purses her lips embarrassed.

"I'm sorry" she muttered quietly and Heraline nodded her head.

"You obviously aren't very informed about a lot of things in school are you? If you were, you would know I have a boyfriend" Heraline revealed and Jemima was further embarrassed.

"That's a very sexy belly piercing" She added and Jemima glanced at her stomach before smiling lightly.

"Thank you"

"Just follow me; let me introduce you to a few people," Heraline said and Jemima chuckled, allowing Heraline to pull her through the crowd. She was starting to realize the faces and eyes that were turning towards them as they walked past.

Heraline pulling around someone was rare and so everyone was curious of who she was pulling around.

"I thought you were going to get me a better drink," Jemima pointed out.

"There are better ones upstairs," she replied.

"Let me call Doyin. She went to get drinks" Jemima muttered digging into the pocket of her jeans to bring out her phone.

"I'll have someone bring her up later. Don't worry about her"

"Heraline" Jemima called for the second time that night.

"Huh?"

"What's your real name?" Jemima asked, suddenly realizing that she had never heard anyone address her as anything apart from Heraline or Heraline xoxo.

Heraline turned to her wearing a bright smile "Why are you curious?" She asked.

"Nothing. I think knowing that would make me feel closer to you or something" Jemima replied, pursing her lips.

"Badmus Waliyat Olajumoke; that's my name"
