You'll only know I'm crazy when you get to know the real me. - unknown.

Derin laughed as Mitchelle swayed her hips to the music heard from a distance. Her laughter echoed through the almost empty parking lot of shoprite Ikoyi. Derin copied, swaying her hips too. Mitchelle twirled around even with the shopping bags in her hand.
After her encounter with Daniel, she and Mitchell hit shoprite, so she could lighten up - Mitchell's words.
It worked. Derin discovered Mitchell's obsession of eating baked beans from it's can and her absolute love for strawberry. Mitchell had bought a packet of frozen strawberries that had cost five thousand naira. Derin sure knew she couldn't spend money like that, she was always so cautious.
They both stopped dancing when they heard someone call Derin. Derin turned, only to feel water pour down her hair, to her satin blouse. The water kept coming, flowing down hurriedly. She opened her eyes to see Lola standing in front of her holding an empty bottle of Eva table water.
"Coincidence, I just got off the phone with Michael." Lola smirked.
Derin stood in shock, staring at her drenched clothes. The feel of water stuck in her now old extension worried her. The hair will smell.
Before she could react, Mitchell beat her to it. As expected, Mitchell wasn't one to rush words or bone. She smiled, always.
"So, in your well civilized manner of thinking, the best way to approach an issue is by drenching someone in a public parking lot. Where are your brain cells?" Mitchelle smiled sweetly.
Lola's bitch mode set in. She dropped the plastic bottle and stepped towards Mitchelle. "So you are the new side kick. You look it, the way you just stand there like someone who is begging for attention."
Mitchell threw her head back and laughed. "Sweetheart," her smile dropped. "No man wants someone with an empty brain. If you want Daniel, learn to act matured and please be intelligenct. Your petty display just shows how low you think and how uncivilized you are for the daughter of a public figure. Lola, grow up. Everyone around you has."
Derin knew Mitchell had listened in to her conversation with Daniel through the bug. And with what she had told her, Derin knew that Mitchelle was also in line with the story.
Lola turned furious. "You're one to talk. Sneaking around with your ex's girlfriend just to get in his pants."
Derin wondered how Lola knew Mitchell, she'd talked about her but she'd never shown Mitchell to Lola or Ify. Perhaps because their parents were public figures, it was easy to know them.
"At least it's better by sticking around someone who obviously wants another." Mitchell smiled.
Lola growled. "Dike loves me."
"Ugh.. i was talking about Daniel dummy." Mitchell cooed.
"He's confused. Derin just... just has a way of twisting people's brain-"
Derin sighed, their conversation was tiring already.
"Lola," she said calmly. "We hurt each other, but i started it. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have slept with Daniel, I shouldn't have dated him. I'm sorry, you also shouldn't have ruined my reputation."
Lola scoffed. "I've forgiven you for dating Daniel long ago. I'm just so angry about how he turned out. You ruined him! You deserve worse than what he did to you."
"I know. I do..."
"You know? Derin you are cruel. You... destroy. "
Mitchelle suddenly snapped. "All those times she was your friend, what effort did you make to scold her!"
