"I'm in the class now you fool! Just hang up before this bitter man sends me out of his class. I told you already, I'll give you the full gist soon when I'm out." Najma spoke through gritted teeth and hung up.
She shouldn't have told Basma that Naim called last night, She knows she'd probably be there in class smiling like an idiot and not concentrating on her class. She couldn't wait for this bothering class to finally be over so that she'd meet up with Basma.
How wonderful is God ! All she had to do was wished for it and God granted it to her . The lecturer just rounded up his class that was suppose to last for one more hour for reasons the lecturer left to himself.
"Hey Baby! The class is finally over ! " She sang.
"Yes Alhamdulillah! Let's meet at Dowells then. " Basma suggested.
"I thought we will be going back home for the weekend? Don't even tell me this time around that we are not going back."
"Hajiya and Mummy have been conspiring against us fa, Hajiya called me earlier in the morning and told me that we should sit our asses down in this school, with the excuse that exams is around the corner." Basma declared.
A mischievous smile escaped Najma's lips as she place her right hand on her waist. There was no way she was going to agree to spend the weekend in this godforsaken hostel and Mummy knows her fully well. That's why she probably didn't call her, she knew it'd be a waste of time.
"You already know I'm not going to stay here right? When you finish playing the obedient child game let me know. As for me, I'm going straight to that godforsaken hostel right now and pack my things."She hung up without waiting for Basma's response, She knew she was going to do the same thing and call her minutes later to tell her she's also ready .

Najma's Residence
"Assalamu Alaikum my beautiful mummy." Najma announced elatedly as she came into the sitting room .
"Some children are just so stubborn!" Mummy shook her head.
"Come on Mummy na, i know you missed me a lot, I really needed a break." Najma hugged her Mum affectionately, She knew how mummy's weakness was a warmth hug from her always.
"Hmmm I'm not buying this, Basma try and be talking some sense into your friend's head."
They exchanged pleasantries with Mummy and Najma dragged Basma upstairs.............
"Lets pray first please." Najma declared after Basma threw that "Start spilling the beans" look at her.
"Fine, let's pray. After praying what else? Oh i know, don't say a word. We will go on a pilgrimage and come back before you tell me." Basma rolled her eyes .
"Now who is being the drama queen here? Just get over it, will you? I'm more eager than you're, I'm telling you. You more than anyone knows how i love spilling out the beans." Najma winked .

"Okay so this is what happened, After i came back to the hostel. I think it was around after 11pm ish, he called , you know how i can be , I picked up without saying a word. Silence lasted for more than Three minutes, and i hung up.
Like it's the audacity for me! How can unknown numbers call me and expect I'll talk first? Though i was so sure it was him."
"So he called back , I thought he was still not going to talk, but then he did.
"Ummhmm what did he say ?" Basma asked excitedly.
"Realx, we will get there please." Najma flipped her hair .
