Chioma's POV.
The stares I got from Femi's stupid friends were just so uncomfortable but I chose to act unfazed by them. Deep down in my heart, I was actually grateful that Femi offered that I stay at his place. At first, the idea seemed so wrong to me but the minute I thought about living on the mainland, I was happy he offered to help me out. But I won't tell him that of course, I'll never live without hearing him brag about it each day.
"So, I'm Damola. Nice to meet you" the guy, whom I sat next to, said to me. I turned to look at him and then nodded my head in response.
"I'm Chioma" I simply said, hoping that he doesn't expect to start up a conversation with me cause I was in no mood for that.
"Yeah, so how exactly did you meet my crazy friend?" He asked further and my eyes went through a major rollercoaster.
"Not that kind of girl, Damola. Be careful cause she bites" Femi said from the driver's seat and I could see him smirk at me through the rearview mirror.
"Mind your business, jerk face!" Damola yelled back at him and chuckled at the same time.
"Femi, I still don't get why she's in here. You haven't even explained what's going on to us" The girl, whose name should be Kunmi or something, said.
"Well, the she you're talking about is right here" I said, feeling really irritated by her comment.
"I know that, so please shut up. I wasn't talking to you" she snapped at me.
"Yikes! Girl drama 101" Damola muttered but I still heard him anyway.
"Kunmi, or whatever it is you call your stupid self, I don't have your time. You're the least of my problems, so don't step on my toes" I warned her, wearing a scowl on my face.
"Hey, hey. Can you two just get along and not try to kill each other while we're in here?" Femi said and I silently growled at him.
"Well, as long as she doesn't talk to me, then I think I'll manage her" she replied, I imagined she'd be wearing a scowl on her face.
Oh no! she didn't just say that!
" Well ride on with your stupidity since it's the only thing you can ever achieve in your miserable life" I replied with a smug smile on my face.
"You little b__"
"That's enough!" Femi chimed in, cutting her off.
Ha! I still had the last laugh!
" Whatever!" Kunmi muttered. "You still haven't answered my question, Femi" she added almost immediately.
"Oh yeah. Well, Chioma will be staying at my house today" he replied.
"And only for today!" I chimed in.
"What?! Why your house? Doesn't she have hers? The big Aniobi mansion isn't enough for her" she replied with a scowl.
"Just let it rest, Kunmi. I asked her to come with" Femi replied, taking a left.
"Why?" Kunmi asked slyly.
