'Now call me darling',

'darling?', a voice full of confusion said.

'Call me sweetheart', the smug feminine voice said.

'Sweetheart?',

'Now place one heck of a loud one right here', she placed a dainty finger on an equally dainty cheek. The guy obliged.

Then she handed him a package which he opened and gasped,

'If I wasn't sure I'll still be walking and not lose some teeth while at it I'll kiss you full on the mouth! How did you get them?!',

'Well honey you're right of course! But a lady's got to have her way sometimes', she gave a copy smile.

Heedless the guy gave her a very tight hug.

'Now darling, you know me. I'll only be touched when and where I want to be touched',

'I honestly don't know how you spend endless hours watching these vomit inducing soap operas", Esther said with a grimace while Shola sighed dreamily just to annoy her further.

'Love darling, just for the love', she said mimicking the female character on the screen.

'My friend come let's do this English revision, abi I'm the only one writing mock on Monday?',

Soon enough the tv was forgotten as both girl focused on their exam preparation.

It was just 2pm and Esther felt like she had spent her entire existence in the exam hall. All she wanted to do was fall face first on her bed and ask questions later.

English and integrated science was one hell of a combination.

Who knew English could be this confusing?

'Esy! Come and carry your property, house is calling my name! To think we have to do this again for two weeks', Shola grumbled all the way to where Esther stood.

'I swear, dropping out of school is looking more and more appealing as the days go by. But my mama go kee me if I try am',

'Mtchew, if only. I'll be used for burnt offering if I ever voice that out. You know my dad na',

'And he'll beat me join just by reason of association!', both girls laughed as they made their way to their classroom.

The exam hall was at a different area from the school, attached to the senior block. Getting close to the senior block all conversation ceased.

Cause that'll be the time your whispering distracted the bored 'dundies' in the senior block.

Getting to the said class, Esther opened her school bag to find a polythene bag that she didn't put there.

'Wetin be this?', she asked as she opened it and found two bottles of water and some snacks. A note was also in the bag.

I trust your exams went well,
See me before you leave
Daniel.

Shola scanned the note before helping herself to one bottle of water.

'You want to go now or later?',

'I don't even know where he is, I'll check the library. But definitely not now, my brain needs to settle first'.

After catching a thirty minute nap, they were revved for the day. Someone began tapping fingers on their desk creating a rhythm that was easily amplified by someone else.

Not too long they started jamming in earnest on their lockers and singing at the top of their voices to any song that was brought up. No genre was spared, even nursery rhymes were included.

They kept at it with Esther standing on a desk and singing her heart out.

She took a spin and locked eyes with Daniel who was standing at her class corridor. She gave a hesitant smile after glancing at her watch.

It was closing time.

She quickly left her spot and ran to him.

'Good evening Snr Daniel', she greeted a little breathless.

'I can see you're having fun, the exam went well?', he asked in response.

'Well I thank God, it can't be any worse', she shrugged and her arched an eyebrow at her.

'What time is tomorrow's paper?',

'Same time, 10am',

'Alright, I'll be leaving in thirty minutes. If I don't see you I'll assume you want to walk with to friends',

'Yes I'll walk. Thank you for the water and snacks',

'You're welcome. See you later', he turned and left.

Turning she saw Shola by the door holding one of the snacks they hadn't gotten around to eating.

'You've not explained what the both of you are doing yet', she said in between bites.

'We're friends. Simple and short',

'Yea right', she gave a hoot when someone started singing hips don't lie. Esther rolled her eyes as her classmates yelled her name to come and dance, which she obliged them.
