One of the things I love the most about Light, one of my close pals, is that sometimes when he goes home to visit, his parents let him come back to school with the car and use it for like a week to practice his driving, before taking it back home. This is one of those times.

But now six of us are to ride in Light's car. Yup, you got that right. Six! Why did I agree to this again? The space to be taken up by three people is taken by four. Myself, Barbie, Marv and Samuel take the back. While Light drives and Nimi takes the front seat. At that moment I remember Femi, one of the new close friends I and my pals made here in Uni, brought a car to school too.

'What about Olu and Femi? Especially Femi, isn't he going?'

'They aren't ready, they'll go in Femi's car.' Nimi responds.

'Can I go with them?'

'You'll wait for them?' Light scoffs

'Yes!'

'You know what, lemme wait for them. You girls are obviously uncomfortable.' Marv says.

'Not, I can wait - -'

' Nah, lemme go with them.' Marv says and gets down from the car.

' See you guys.'

' You're sure dude?' Samuel asks

' Yeah. Bye.'

The car zooms of from the front of my hostel and begins the ride out of school to Chris' house. They chose to have the party at his home. From what I hear, it's a gigantic structure.

Light turns on the music in his car and its all booming.

I hear occasional screams of 'wooh' from Barbie and honestly it annoys me. I scream when songs I love are being played too, but tonight, it's just annoying, or maybe it's just annoying coming from someone else, or maybe it's just annoying coming from Barbie.

'Dudes, y'all know we're headed for a party that's definitely gonna have blaring music. Let's wait till then before we deafen ourselves.'

'Come on Tse, you love it when songs are loud.' Light says.

'Well maybe I'm just not feeling your choice of songs right now.' I scoff.

'Sorry o, madam Etsenoghenoluame.'

They all laugh really hard. I still don't know whats so funny about my name. For God's sake these boys need to stop making fun of my full name.

'Yeah that's real rich coming from you Mr Light.'

Best comeback I can think of right now.

'Nice try babe, but I think everyone has gotten over the weirdness of my name.'

'Oh! Y'all can get over the weirdness of a name like Light, but find my own rich full name weird? I hate y'all!'

'No you don't.' Nimi replies and I scoff.

'Okay guys, let's stop making fun of her name.' he continues 'I mean it's length only makes up for what she lacks in height.'

'Whooooaaaaaaaaa!!!' the guys scream and let out very hurtful hysterical laughter.

'So Tola...' Light starts, seems he wants to ask Barbie something but she cuts him off

'Actually it's Omotola, I mean, I don't shorten it. I've always gone by the full name'

Awwn, I think she wants a trophy for it.

'That's cool, maybe Etsenoghenoluame should take a cue from you.' they all laugh again. It's really annoying right now. I'm not even the only one here going by a short form, Nimi is as well, his full name is Toluwanimi, and ironically he's the one talking. My goodness! Remind me to add him to the list of people that I'm gonna strangle someday.
