I groaned internally and turned to glare at the smiling boy, taking the worst of pictures of the three of us. Him, Samuel and I.

I didn't want to be out. I didn't feel the need to go anywhere aside home, but trust Ayomide to completely disregard your thoughts and go ahead with his idea anyways.

Samuel wasn't too enthusiastic about our outing either. According to him, he had plans to play the video games he was near winning, claiming to get money when he did.

Ayomide had come to the park to retrieve some items he was instructed to get from a friend. Somehow, he saw that as a good bro-bonding moment and dragged us along.

"Abeg, you people should smile, I wan post for my status." He said, his eyes still on the phone screen.

"Did it ever occur to you that we had plans?" I asked, raising a brow at him as we walked on.

"I swear." Samuel added.

Ayomide stopped and averted his gaze to me, then to Samuel and back to me again. He burst into laughter and brought his phone down.

"Lemme guess." He said, between laughs and turned to me. "You got an appointment with the shopping mall because you had to buy something for Tammy."

"If I wanted to, I wouldn't tell you guys." I stated, rolling my eyes.

"Just say you want to go." He laughed. "Abeg, no be park we day. See flowers everywhere, you fit pick orange sef give am."

Then, he turned to Samuel and snorted. "Guy, isn't the video game you're playing the PS that was released three years ago. Our classmates dey complain say you dey for past."

Samuel turned, his brows narrowed as he looked at Ayomide. He looked as though he wanted to strangle the boy.

I tried hiding my laughter but it only came out as snorts. I walked up to him and whispered in his ears, pleading with him to leave Ayomide be, which he, thankfully did.

Ayomide walked ahead of us, triumphantly. Then, he turned and gave Samuel a teasing grin.

"I know say you wan slap this fine face. You no fit joor." Ayomide said.

"Guy!" I yelled after Ayo. I turned to Samuel who had the look to strangle again, and for a moment, I wondered how Ayomide was the one with the temper. That boy had screwed up my efforts to calm Samuel down.

"Guy, abeg. Let's go and buy water and use it on this guy. I can't take it." He said and I laughed. I looked back at Ayomide who still busied himself by taking pictures of the environment. The offer was tempting.

"Sure." I smiled. Samuel turned and yelled Ayo's name, notifying him of our movement, although, he told him we were going to buy snacks.

We got to a small store by the park and bought a bag. I couldn't wait to see the look on Ayomide's face when we got back at him for bringing us here. That would teach him a lesson.

When we got nearer to the place Ayomide stood, we tore open the bag of water and picked one each.

"Ayomide!" Samuel called. I had a hand in my hoodie pocket and another holding a satchet of water, patiently waiting for Ayomide's response.

However, we were shocked, surprised even, to see Ayomide carrying a bag of water of his own. He laughed.

"You guys thought I didn't hear your discussion behind me, abi?" He laughed. "Oya, come and fight naa. I'm armed as well."

That didn't stop us, it didn't diminish the feeling we had to throw those sachets of water at him and watch them burst open. My feeling, anyway. So, Samuel and I took another water sachet. Ayomide took his.
