"Nna mhen! The container
I have been waiting for" jude exclaimed excitedly as he flexed his muscles
in the white vest.
"Omo! She gather o"
tade chipped in as they all gazed at the coke-bottle-bodied girl dat was
walking towards their direction.
"This one no fit gree
you, I fit bet say she get bobo" odion, the black edo boy with dimples
said.
"Oga,leave that
one" jude did ten quick push-ups by d fence "watch and learn" he
mouthed and walked towards the girl in his most gentlemanly manner.
"Hi.am jude,and you
are...?"He asked as he looked at her from head to
toe.front...(Check),back...(Check),face...
"I can't remember asking
for your name..."
The other guys burst into
laughter and made catcalls.he didn't even realise they had reached the fence
where the guys sat.
...........................
"Book he no know,girl,he
no fit!" Lolu said and they had another fit of laughter.
"Ehen...guy,how far that
babe u meet for sparkles bar?" Tade asked and a hush suddenly fell on the
group. 'wu!!!' wouldn't want to hear juicy tales and escapades of Lolu.
"Ha..."He smiled
with a distant look on his handsome features"...if I tell u say I no carry
the babe reach house nko?"
"Ehnn?!she turn
mammy-water for road?"The quiet ope asked,even he was amazed.
"Even if she turn to
masquerade,he go still carry am reach house"odion said
Lolu punched odion "you

"Wetin con appen?"
Tade asked anxiously as odion rubbed his arm and winced in pain.
Lolu pushed both his hands
into his chinos short pockets "you suppose know me...I be correct sharp
guy wey no dey dull..."
"Wetin appen?!"
Tade shouted loosing his patience
"Na my corolla do dat
work o" he shrugged
Their mouths hung open except
odion's
"We know say na corolla
you drive na,which one come be story??"
They seemed to be ignorant of
what odion said
"You don craze!"
Tade recovered first and slapped his head "shey na inside booth or on top
steering?!"
Odion started saying
something and ope shoved a piece of bread in his mouth
"Na serious gbege that
night o,she don high! She con dey distract me...I con think say make we no get
accident,I enter one complex and I park..."
"Hitman!" Tade
screamed
"Maybe she get another

"The thing wey funny

"u should av just wrapped it up and keep it as a valentine gift for kitan... no sweat bro!" Tade teased.

"u should av just wrapped it up and keep it as a valentine gift for kitan... no sweat bro!" Tade teased.
lolu scowled and locked tade's shirt at his neck "dont you ever! i mean ever! mention her name in this kinda shitty talk!" lolu shouted angrily as others tried to calm him down.
Odion and ope shook their
heads(the kinds that meant...aye ma nika o)
Just then ope sighted lolu's
girlfriend "ur chick dey come"
He jumped down instantly and
went to meet her
"Babes,how far?you
didn't tell me you are coming"
"Do I have
to?"Kitan asked after throwing him a glance and started walking to the
door of his room.she mumbled greetings that were barely audible to his friends.
Lolu made a sign to his
friends and hurried to keep up with kitan's pace.
Guys still sitting on the dilapidated fence continued
with their chatter.
'Abi soosi deeper life lo n
lo ni' the group of happy-go-lucky-guys chanted the words from a familiar song
and burst out laughing.
"Familiar...yes.familiar"
even her couldn't deny the fact that the secular song was the 2nd national
anthem hence every radio station in town take turns to play it intermittently.
She thought and sighed.
She adjusted her scarf with
one hand and grasped at her bible wit d other. (If the leather was flesh,her
fingernails would have dug into it)
Esther dashed into her room,
her pleated skirt billowing behind her.
........................................
Susan placed her ear against
the door.'Just to be sure' she convinced herself.she detested knockin at a door
with an occupant in it and receiving no answer. It was like a man holding a
ring and kneeling in front of a woman with cameras flashing and thousands of
witnesses, only to be given a cold shoulder.
She entered after she heard a
'come in' .
"Wassup,ki lo n sele?"
She asked as her eyes scanned the room hoping to catch a glimpse of esther's
assignment.
"If my assignment is
what u're looking for, its not completed and if its food,as u can see..."
She pointed at the squeaky clean kitchen with no pots in sight "I avn't
cooked" Esther replied with a knowing look
"Haha" susan's
attempt at laughter came out as a dry croak "no now...I came to say
hi"
"Oh.ok.hi" Esther
replied sarcastically and directed her gaze to her slightly open door.
"Err..." As if
getting the message she stood up."How come u haven't finished, we are
submitting 8am tomorrow morning"
"I would just pull an
all-nighter and get it done with" she shrugged "I had to go to prayer
meeting"
Susan looked at her
admiringly "I wish I was a teeny-bit as good as you...look at you!
Ignoring all the mockery and not dying." She sighed.
"Only if mouths and
tongues were guns and bullets"
Susan laughed and held the
door wide open.
"Errm...when you want to
continue..." In times like this, you have to swallow your pride, deflate
your ego and beg! "...your assignment, call me" she finally mumbled and
jumped out to hide her shame “Well, I could go for a plan B Sheila! She’s so
sweet she would gimme hers”
Esther turned the key lock,
yanked her scarf from her head and pulled up her mattress to remove the 'adult'
magazine from underneath it.
'Good girl indeed' was her
last thought before she started ...
