The Final Year (PROJECT 2.0)

Relive

"You remember that time Tolani was so scared to sit with us thinking the whole school would come after her?" Bankole said as we all laughed.

"What? They did come after me.... Through different forms." She defended causing her to pout as they all made fun of her.

We are all gathered, talking about what happened during this past year, they were making fun of her in particular, i couldn't participate because all i did was live in the moment because it has been a while since we have done something like this.

"She was even scared of living in the same room with me. Her face on the first day she knocked on the door of my room was theatric. Do you know i didn't like you at first sight?"

"Me? Why? What did I do?" She asked Theresa, totally confused on why her friend will hate her"

"Because i thought it was all pretence, a facade. You always carry that shy, timid and innocent aura around and i thought it was a lie. Then you behave like a coward_"

"I'm not a coward!" She fired back.

"I know but you act like it a times"

I watch with a smile on my face as they bicker back and forth before deciding to check on what they were cooking in the kitchen. They carried the same argument to the kitchen and we could still hear their voices from here.

Faramade quickly grabbed for the remote, changing it from the fashion channel Theresa insisted we watch because it was her house. We are guests for crying out loud but she won't hear of it.

We argued over the score of the English Premier League as they showed what they had last season on the sport channel.

Him and i were kind of cool now. No one is winning as far as Omotolani is concerned so there is no need in mopping like the losers we are over it.

Ten minutes later, Theresa emerged with a tray of our food. Courtesy of her and Omotolani but i bet it with, Shetemi did most of the job.

"This one you are serving today, hope we are safe?" Bankole joked as he collected the plate of food from her before perring at it in a suspicious manner.

She hissed before handing over a plate to Evans who muttered a thank you. It smells delicious, I'm not hungry but the aroma....

Shetemi also came in with a tray and i was about standing up but Faramade beats me to it. That sleek guy... I watch in annoyance as she gave him a smile muttering a thank you before heading back to the kitchen.

I look around, Bankole shook his head at me in a manner i find more infuriating. I sat back down, sulking.

Theresa handed me a plate from the tray Shetemi brought in. All anger flew of my mind at what was placed before me and i suddenly grew hungry.

It was spaghetti all right but a well garnished one. I quickly grabbed my fork before digging in, the taste of fresh spicy cray fish and peppered fried  beef alongside the delicious spaghetti was what greeted my taste buds.

The look of satisfaction was evident on everyone face. The boys and i digged in, she came back with a jug of orange juice and a glass cups for everyone on a tray.

"You like it?" Theresa asked Evans.

"It's delicious..." He acclaimed.

"Omo T prepared it"

"Your food is delicious o. I will get another serving right?" Bankole asked after a forkful of the meal was done his throat.

"Of course" she laughed.

Bankole rushed down the rest of the meal, commenting on how good the food was and we all couldn't help but agree.

Half way into my food, i noticed she didn't put in much to the conversation we are having. It's a common ground, we were all talking about our fast approaching graduation.
