"Er..." That question took me aback. It left me at a loss for word. "I..." I sneaked a glance at Amaka so could help me out but to my surprise, she wasn't even looking my way.

Benjamin cocked an eyebrow and folded his arms around his chest with a pouted lips, awaiting my response.

"Joy took me out for break." I managed to say.

"Hmm, is that so?" His tone laced skepticism.

"Yeah, I'm serious." I stated firmly.

"Okay, if you say so." He shrugged. "So what did you get for us?" He finally wore a smile on his face.

I mentally heaved a sigh of relief. "Well, nothing much."

"What's the little you bought? Abi, are you now stingy to share?" He let out a smug smirk.

Amaka and I burst out laughing. "Benji!" I shook my head at him. "Here it is." I brought out the nylon of gala and nutri-milk to show to him. "Take, take!"

He giggled. "Is this all? It's small o. Come, let's go and buy more?" He wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

I smiled.

Chuka rushed in. "Guys, guys, guess what?!" He said.

"What?" We all chorused confusedly yet eagerly to hear what he had to say.

"I just heard Faith's cousin is here in the lesson, and he's the cutest dude at the moment."

"Mtcheew!" "Rubbish." Was what came out of our mouths. "I even thought it was something intense or even better." Amaka said.

"Is that news? I've seen the dude already sef." They all snapped their heads at me as I uttered that. Jeez! I just exposed myself. I gats think of an explanation real quick before they know that it was actually the dude that bought the gala and drink for me.

"How? Where? When?" Benjamin immediately questioned.

"Uhm...well, whilst Joy took me out for break, I saw him." I told him truthfully.

"How did he look like?" Amaka inquired.

I shrugged. "Handsome, I guess." I made it sound like he wasn't so handsome so that Benjamin wouldn't be jealous or maybe hurt. But come to think of it, jealous of what actually? Not like a guy can't be finer than him.

"Hmm." Benjamin hummed.

"I heard he's very handsome o." Chuka spoke again.

Benjamin scoffed. "And so? Not like the world's gonna bow at his feet 'cause he's super handsome," His hands in quote. "as you say he is."

Minutes after our discussion, Faith, Joy and John– Faith's cousin, walked in. Scratch that! Strutted in, is a much better description.

"Is that the boy?" Amaka whispered in my ear.

"Uh-huh." I nodded.

"Fuck! He's hella cute but ain't my type, sorry to say." She widened her eyes and shrugged.

"Why?" I furrowed my brows at her.

"Duh! 'Cause he ain't my type. He looks proud, cocky...I even hate the way he walks. Pfft!" She rolled her eyes. "I've lost interest staring at him." That said, she sat properly and faced front.
