Ibukun had become popular overnight. Everyone greeted her at school, everyone wanted to talk to her and for someone who wasn’t used to such popularity before. She became flustered at a point.
“I’m going to become a celebrity at this rate” Ibukun squealed and Fikayo snickered at her.
“Celebrity my feet. People that blow like you, your popularity will die quickly” Fikayo said and Ibukun turned to her, her mouth open.
“Are you cursing me?” Ibukun asked and Fikayo maintained her stoic face.
“No, I’m not. I’m just stating facts” Fikayo replied and Blessing smacked Fikayo on her laps.
“Babe, what’s your problem nah?” Fikayo asked displeased.
“Ibukun, don’t mind Fikayo o. She’s just jealous, don’t mind her” Blessing said and Fikayo folded her hands and she chuckled.
“Who is jealous of who? Why will I be jealous of just ordinary IG followers?” Fikayo asked and clapped her hands together making Ibukun and Blessing to burst into laughter.
“I jus
Tolu turned to her saviour and got a better look at his features. He was chocolate complexion with brown eyes hidden behind his glasses. He had a rather straight nose and high cheekbones. He was attractive even with his glasses that gave him the vibe of a professor. He had a straight and lean body but Tolu knew he was strong. He was cloaked in black pants and a shirt tucked roughly in but yet extremely attractive.He slipped one of his hands into his pockets and Tolu’s eyes returned back to his face. He was handsome. So handsome that Tolu found out that she couldn’t peel her eyes off him. The guy raised an eyebrow at her that brought her back to her senses.Tolu awkwardly coughed inwardly cursing for her extremely light complexion that made her embarrassment so obvious. She threw her head sideways trying to regain and composure and didn’t see the small smile that crawled up the guy’s face. Tolu swallowed her saliva as she turned to him.“Thank you for that. How wil
Ibukun looked at her room as she ran her hands through her hair for the hundredth time. It was still early on Saturday morning but Ibukun’s always neat and tidy room was in a mess. Clothes were scattered on top of each other, some were on the floor, a lot more on the floor.Ibukun groaned as she threw her head backwards. Why couldn’t she just find the perfect cloth to wear? The door opened and Tosinmile stepped inside the room.“Christ Jesus, what happened in here?” Tosinmile asked and Ibukun turned to her with a pout.“I can’t find a cloth for my meeting with Lashe” Ibukun replied and Tosinmile burst into laughter.“You can’t find a cloth to wear from this huge wardrobe?” Tosinmile asked in horror and Ibukun rolled her eyes.“I am meeting with Lashe so I have to look my best. We might even take a selfie” Ibukun replied as a smile blossomed on her lips.“So you scattered and turned your room upside down. Nice one Ibukun. If mommy sees your room li
Ibukun didn’t know the magic Lashe worked on her, she felt extremely comfortable with him and talked more comfortably with him. It was more like they were old friends who met up to talk.“I’ll be honest with you. I was sincerely overwhelmed when I saw the interview you did” Lashe said and chuckled.“I felt like my music career did have a purpose when I watched you talk. Thank you. thank you so much” Lashe said and Ibukun nodded with a pout.“I just answered her questions. I did nothing more than that” Ibukun replied and Lashe chuckled.“I’m a person of few words that’s why I don’t know how to express myself but I am really, really, really grateful. Your interview helped me secure a contract I didn’t even think I was gonna get” Lashe said and Ibukun’s eyes sparkled.“Really?” Ibukun asked and Lashe nodded.“Yeah” Lashe replied with a smile.Ibukun already knew long ago that Lashe was not a person of many words. The way he spoke to his fans, h
Tolu yawned again as she glanced at the noisy hall. Just what did the student union want to say to them to gather all the 100 level students together. She hissed again making her roommate to glare at her.“What’s wrong with you?” she asked and Tolu sighed.“Why did these people gather us here nah? I feel like my eardrums are going to burst any moment from now from the noise” Tolu replied as her other friend nudged her in the elbow.“It’s probably something important” she said as silence suddenly overtook the hall. Tolu looked around and noticed that just a few more students had walked into the hall and they were members of the student union.“Why is everyone quiet?” Tolu asked and her two friends looked at her like she had grown tow heads.“Mary and Rebecca, don’t look at me like that” Tolu said and Rebecca scoffed.“I wonder if you really attend this school” Rebecca replied and Mary laughed.“Those guys that just entered at the main people
Ibukun turned over in her bed as she replied Lashe’s text. That had been her routine for the past one week. She rushed home and chatted with Lashe all night long. The first time they chatted into the night was the day they met. She had thanked him for the pictures and ended up talking more.None of them realized that it was already past one am until Lashe claimed that he wanted to check the 10’0 clock news and was flabbergasted to see that it was already past one am.Both of them had forced each other to sleep that day and that was how it started. The long calls, hours texting and video calling.Ibukun burst into laughter seeing the emoji Lashe sent in reply to her message. She had discovered that Lashe could talk as much as he wanted as long as he found the right partner and he was comfortable with them.Ibukun’s door opened and Tosinmile strode in to catch a silly smile on Ibukun’s face. She chuckled before kicking Ibukun who was about to make a voice note.
Tolu wanted to curse as she followed Demola into the restaurant. She adjusted her face cap to hide her face and kept her eyes down as they walked in but since it was Demola she had followed; she was bound to attract attention.She watched as people started greeting him while he offered them small smiles, handshakes and brief hugs. She soon noticed everyone staring at her and she pursed her lips as Demola led them to a table.“How does it feel to be the centre of attention when you are actually hiding?” Demola asked with a smile while Tolu glared at him from behind her sun glasses. She was about to say something when a girl walked towards them. she was clad in rather short skirt and a blouse that revealed too much than covering her body.“Hey Demola, what’s up?” she asked as Demola turned to her with a smile.“You are here?” Demola asked and the girl nodded.“You haven’t eaten here before. You don’t like eating outside, what are you doing here?” she aske
Ibukun collected the ice cream from Lashe as they both sat down on the grass. Ibukun watched as Lashe licked his one ice cream. She chewed on her lower lip as she licked hers. She suddenly wished she was the ice cream and her eyes widened in horror.What the hell was she wishing?Lashe turned to Ibukun to see her eyes widening as she stared into space. He reached over and knocked her head as usual before leaning across her.“What are you staring at again?” Lashe asked and as Ibukun was about to reply, she noticed how near Lashe’s face was to hers. She swallowed her saliva while shaking her head.“Nothing. I’m watching a Korean movie so I kinda realized something that was going to happen in the movie” Ibukun replied and Lashe nodded as he continued licking his ice cream.“You are so lucky. You get to do whatever you like” Lashe whined as his laid his back on the grass, his hands behind his head.“You even haven’t had your usual live fan meet. It’s
Ibukun scrolled through her phone checking through the pictures she and Lashe had taken. Her eyes were glued to Lashe’s smiling face and his gorgeous smile. A small smile wore its way to her face before her phone got snatched away from her. Ibukun stood up and saw Nifemi and Tosinmile grinning at her.Forgetting that there were things that couldn’t be seen on her phone, she jumped on Nifemi and hugged her.“Sister Nifemi, when did you come back? It’s still late October, what are you doing at home?” Ibukun asked as she skilfully pried her phone away from her hands.Nifemi scoffed at her sister showing a pained face “Do you want to see me at home?” Nifemi asked and Ibukun chuckled as they sat down on her bed.“I didn’t say that” Ibukun said as she pushed her phone under her pillow.“I left a particular assignment at home, so I came to pick it up” Nifemi said and Ibukun chuckled.“You could have called and mom would have sent her driver to give you a
