After having the conversation with Ahmed and he left, I opened my Messenger app and checked up for my best friend, Kate.

Me: Where are u guys?

Bestie💕: We're almost there, calm down jhoor.

Me: Why do all of you pple calling me jhoor nowadays?

Bestie💕: I'm here.

Me: You're here!!!!😮😮😱I'm coming!!!

Bestiee 💕: Be fast and please don't fall...I'll be waiting 😂😙

I closed my app and ran all the way out of the auditorium. I don't care what people think of me right now, all my brain was focused on was just two words,"SHE'S HERE!!!"

I sprinted to the hostel and when I mean sprinted, I did, I don't know how but i did, and that's saying something, I'm not someone who runs for long, I mean, I wouldn't even last for twenty minutes if I was jogging, I'd end up getting extremely tired and I hate it when I'm sweaty.

My body gets all clamped up and sticky because of the sweat mixed with the cream I'd rub.

I saw her Mom's red Corolla and I couldn't be more happy, my best friend has really arrived, she's really here!!!

My eyes scanned the area for her but I couldn't find her. The scent of perfume invaded my nostrils and I immediately knew who it was.

Kate.

I could smell her from a distance, with or without her perfume but her scent drawed me to her.

She uses different types of perfume but 'POSSESS' was her signature perfume and it did well to compliment her personality quite well.

You see, my bestie was someone who could make you do anything without even asking to beg, it's like she was an evil queen, but not evil, of course, she could make any one do anything with just the snap of her fingers.

I turned and look and behold, she was standing there with a huge smile on her face and an ice cream cone.

With chocolate and vanilla flavour, my favourite.

Aww.

"Yo bestie, don't I get a hug?"

That's the best friend I know and care about.

"Of course you do, now come here."

I swear I could have squeezed the life out of her.?

"And your sister says you're a light hugger, where's that little bundle of sunshine?"

She straightened up here dress and hair then raised an eyebrow at me.

"She must be somewhere around here or maybe she's still with my parents, how am I supposed to know, I was in the auditorium waiting for you."

"Chill out na, na question I bin dey ask."

"Sorry oo Mma."

"Afonko(You too), Where's your Mom?"

"Its true ooo, follow me, she was looking for you, come let's go."

She didn't even allow me to walk on my own, she dragged me all the way there, I swear sometimes, she could be exactly like Faith.

We stopped in front of the hostel. I spotted her Mom with my mom, what is wrong with Ibibio parents these days, suddenly they are all friends?

What would I hear next, that she was in my Mom's secondary school or something or that their grandparents were friends...Jesu.
