A back to school dinner party was organized for the 300 level students of the prestigious Federal University Oye Ekiti students by the Students Union Government executives to wish them a wonderful session ahead and to applaud them for their tireless work during the last semester as the activities of the last semester took a toll on many of the students and landed few in the hospital.
Kelly, Asha, J-Mac, Nel and Ivy, being students of the same level, decided to take advantage of the engagement and have as much fun as possible. 
The girls met up at Kelly's lodge while the guys met up at Nel's lodge so as to hasten preparations and to perfect preparations.

Kelly, being a girl who enjoys social gatherings, was dressed dashingly in a short white skin-tight gown which had no sleeve and a low heel glass shoe of same white color. She had her hair packed in a bun with a stray strand falling cutely on her face. Her face was dressed lightly in make-up and she smelled like fresh sun flowers in the garden.

Ivy, a fellow party lover, was dressed in an emerald green knee-length skin-tight gown with tiny sleeve on the left side and no sleeve on the right side. She had her hair curled to her shoulder level giving her a royal look. Her 4 inches stiletto heels were made of leather at the top and glass at the bottom. Her face wasn't painted due to her love for her spotless clear skin but her lips was moisturized with lip gloss.

Asha, the antisocial introvert, was dressed in a black gown which was fitted at the top area but a little loose from the bellybutton section to her knee. It had proper short sleeves and a dazzling embellishment at the chest section. She packed her hair in a loose bun with a fancy silver pin and had her face dressed in same make-up as Kelly.

Feeling satisfied with their looks, the three ladies set out to go have fun at the dinner party.
By the time they got there, the guys were already at the party. J-Mac was looking as dashing as always in his plaid trouser and a white turtleneck shirt with a silver necklace hanging from his neck and a white sneakers to complement his look.

Nel wasn't left out in the charming look competition. He was dressed in a white polo shirt made with duchess fabric and a slightly loose jean. He had a black sneakers on to complement his look.
The five of them exchanged pleasantries then split up to take advantage of the night.
Ivy, after having a tiring dance with a strange boy, went to sit outside to gain composure.
Nel, seeing her stepping out, followed her. He got close to her and noticed she was gazing sadly into the dark.

"May I sit?" He asked somewhat politely

"Sure! Not like I own the bench" Ivy replied looking up and smiling at Nel.

"What has made this damsel sit outside alone?" Nel asked teasingly.

" Ha! Ha!! Here you are sounding all cute " Ivy replied back teasingly as well.

"But seriously, you three look hot today. Like if I didn't know you guys , I'll mistake you for those hotshot influencers and shoot my shot" Nel said eyeing Ivy from head to toe smiling sheepishly

" Really?" Ivy says chuckling lightly.

"And who said you can't shoot your shot?" Ivy asked back resting her chin on her right palm looking at Nel.

"Are you flirting with me right now?" Nel asked taking a cursory look at Ivy

"Hey no way, I dare not flirt with the flirt master " Ivy said raising her hands in a show of surrender.

They both laughed at each other, sighed lightly and laughed again.

" But seriously, why are you outside?" Nel asked worried

"Nothing much. I just feel so tired" Ivy said shrugging and staring into space  

"Tired!? You tired? That's weird" Nel retorts disbelievingly
