So...after the "drama" that occurred on the first day of the tourist outing, I wasn't sure if Temi would still keep up with the plan, which would kinda be a good thing for me if she didn't, funny, right?. I wanted to meet Jenny and at the same time, I didn't want to.

The Forest reserve was placed out of bounds except on official outings after the incident, I was pretty sure they won't be smiling and handing out candies to us, if we went here at an unregulated time.

Well, the Temi I know can be stubborn, and was she, this time around?, oh...yeah, she was.

It was on Saturday, during Games that Temi called me(and if you are asking, I wasn't on any social media platform yet, didn't want to open one yet--social media is a big distraction). She obviously knew I won't be on the field playing.

Even in school, during breaks, I preferred staying back to rest and get my brain ready to the next lesson after break or might read a novel. Occasionally, I would go to the Junior Block which is the tallest building to look at the surrounding environment and reflect on life or go watch those playing.

My roommates except for Akindele who was heavily asleep had all gone out to play. The building itself was silent as most people were out playing, well...not all went out for the same reason, some went out to meet and chyke girls too.

I was staring at the fan rotate, hoping to fall asleep soon when my phone rang.

"Guy, how far", Temi said through the phone.

"I'm fine...you?", I replied drowsily, repositioning myself lying sideways facing the wall, in order to rest my phone on my cheeks without having to hold it.

"I'm okay, were you sleeping?", she asked.

"Not really, was about to though",I replied as I traced, with my hand, the line of a drawing inscribed by someone on the wall.

"Okay...no wonder you sounded like someone that just woke up from sleep", she replied.

"Yeah", I just said, not knowing what to say again.

"Are you up?", she asked.

"Up for..?", having no idea of what she was talking about.

"Olodo...up for what I told you naah", she said.

"I can't remember oo, can you remind me?", I said as I chuckled, clearing my throat as I noticed my voice wasn't sounding well while I was talking.

"Fowl, the forest exploring stuff naah", she said

"Ooh, will that still hold...after what happened?"

"Yes naah, we'll be careful", she said, undaunted.

"Hmm, last time I went around there, the gate was locked, showing that it's out of bounds. So...how are we going to enter..?", I asked.

"There is a broken down fence that leads to the forest reserve. We can take there, no one will know we are gone and moreover, we'll be back before Games end sef, the Games is three hours and we still have two hours plus", she said, lining up reasons. She knew I was the type that like keeping to the rules, so she had to be play her game quick or risk me rejecting.

"Hmm, I don't know of this oo. What if we are caught?", I asked, perplexed.

"We won't, moreover, what will they do?, It's not like we are stealing or trespa....", I'm pretty sure she stopped herself when she realised that we would actually be trespassing by going out there.
