"Hey Nife, is Nisi around?" Dara questioned as soon as she entered their room, Nife smiled and nodded, "yeah, yeah, she is in the bathroom, his are you now? How is Kelvin?" Nife teased, Dara sighed and took a sit on the chair deciding to keep quiet about the matter.

She had arrived the night before very late to campus. Kelvin was right about the stress of the traffic but she knew staying in his place would have set the rumours on fire, she did not want that.

Nisi entered the room with two plastic bags in her hands, Dara stood quickly walking toward her, "hey," she tried to smile but Nisi did not reciprocate it. She nodded and took a sit watching her friend scrabble for what to say, "hum... I just... How are you?"

"Just say what you want to say Dara and leave, I am really tired and I need my rest," Daea sighed, "I am sorry, I wanted to apologise for what I said to you earlier, it was disrespectful and uncalled for and and and... I know you mean well, you would not want me in harm's way but I am fine, I can take care of myself, please just forgive me."

Nisi sighed, and stared at her for a while, "I have nothing against you Dara, if you say you can take care of yourself then you can, I just want you to br careful around Royalty they might seem nice but they are crazy people. I don't want you getting in the middle of their matter," Dara smiled brightly.

"Finally! You people are so dramatic! Even you Nisi what is so wrong with her dating Kelvin? He is lil..."

"For the umpteenth time Nifemi I am not dating Kelvin," Dara replied exasperated, Nife raised her hands in surrender, "if you say so my guy then I believe you, just know that everyone thinks you are dating and madly in love with you."

"I don't care about what everyone thinks, I have a lot of things on my plate and I am not dating Kelvin, you people should rest now and leave me alone," Nife nodded and continued watching the movie on her laptop.

"What in the nylon?"

ONE WEEK LATER.
"This man helped us big time," Dara said replied as she added more study links to her footnote. "Yeah now I owe him, he makes that kind of a thing a big deal," Kelvin rolled his eyes.

"I mean he did get us real data in how many days, that's a lot knowing how Nigeria barely has public records of this kind of thing," Kelvin shrugged, "at least we are almost done with this bullshit, I am so tired of it, the man makes everything so tiring. It's just a project it's not the end of the world,"

Kelvin shook his head angrily remembering when he went to submit his first chapter to the man, he had not even checked it, he proceeded to berate him. He was so glad Dara was not there, he would have punched the bastard in the face to make sure he knew who he was and what his place was, but again he had to restrain himself, he did not want anything going south.

He could get away with punching his project supervisor but he knew it would go not go so well for Dara who was merely a scholarship student, she looked up at him and frowned, "why are you staring at me? Is something on my face?" he looked away hastily and turned to the door that suddenly opened.

Luis walked in as fast as he could be dressed in a shiny golden tuxedo, she sat up from the pillow and it did not take long before he arrived at where they were studying, "guy wetin sup?"

Things had been a little strange between the royalty boys for the last week, Dele was pulling away from Kelvin and Kelvin went about his day nonchalantly as if Dele did not matter. Luis, on the other hand, decided to stay out of the feud, he had a pretty important day coming up so he did everything to busy himself with work.

"Hey," she greeted him as he nodded in her direction hurriedly, "I need help!"

"Help? What do you need help with? Besides it's six thirty already are you n't supposed to be on your way to dinner now?" Kelvin questioned him standing.
