Yomade O. Adeshola
" I'd like to get your names y'all",Mr handsome announced and did a quick evaluation of the class population, I knew that because that's what I would have done too.
"I'll be at the edge there jotting them down so I can merge the names to faces",he explained and in a short while, all the girls were around him and as much as I wanted to join them , I couldn't or rather , I wouldn't.
"Aren't you going to tell him your name?",a familiar voice asked and I jerked my head towards the direction. It was Vincent.
Vincent was my friend,he has been our friend since the beginning, he's a real cool guy and trust me when I say he's damn smart,I admire hid reticence and how good he looks and smell, Omo, Vincent dey use confirm cologne. Trust him to always ask of my wellbeing and help in my many writing projects,he was like a brother to me .
"Nope",I replied to the question he had asked earlier. "I mean there are too many people there with him already,will do when there's no more hovering around him",I convinced.
"Oh," he paused and I scribbled in my notes.
"Are you okay?",he asked. "as in after that much of a show,though you handled yourself well,I just thought I should ask".
I knew that was the next thing that would come from Vincent. Oh God, what a soul!
"I'm good, I just really wonder where Tiara has been to, yunno, she left and I couldn't go to find her cuz if the class".
"You're lying" ,tiny voices said.
" No I'm not", at least what I said might be partly true.
"You are!"
"Just shut up!"
"We could go find her once you get your name down ",he said .
" Alright ",I said and started putting my things in place.
" Let's go",I said and surveyed my way through the rows of desk.
" Yo babes! Wait up", I turned to see Chris running towards me. This guy again.
" What Chris? "
" I was just wondering if you could borrow me your note, I mean the one from yesterday ", he said , slightly pouting.
" No ",came my reply.
" Ah ah nau, na beg I dey beg you nau (I plead with you),just borrow me, I promise I won't mishandle it ".
" What makes you so sure that she has the note, what if she didn't jot just like you didn't? " Vincent asked
" Toor, help me ask him ooo", I said opening my palms with emphasis on 'ooo'.
" Shey you wan dey whine me ni abi what? We all know say Yomade na confirm writer, you no fit see am without pen and book, she go just dey write dey go as if tomorrow no dey", Chris stated .
" I won't dispute that though", Vincent added
" Oh my God, I thought you were on my side!" I said palming my face
" Yep, but I couldn't dispute a fact, you basically write everything that come to your mind anytime, anywhere ".
" Exactly bro, she too dey write", Chris chirped. " She be giving a nerd vibe sometimes gan sef, if not that I know how much she talks I would have mistaken her for a nerd", Chris said.
" I agree with you", Vincent said again and I smiled a bit,see them talking about me like I'm not there.
"You know it actually doesn't hurt to write a lot of things. I just like keeping records, It's something I take pleasure in,yunno" .
" Yes we do, Infact,I do,so what about the note, aren't you going to give me again,please nau",he pleaded again.
