Finding Her Inner Self

Chapter Nine ✨

                  ||Chapter Nine||

Class finally ended, and I watched students stand from their seats all preparing to leave the lecture hall for the next set of students. I packed up my books loading them back into my bag.

"You free throughout today?" Kolade asked with a grin.

"Yeah, Was about heading to my hostel" I answered zipping up my bag.

"Let's hang out. Besides we do have a lot to talk about" he said with a smirk on his face gesturing towards Ire.

Ire was laughing happily about something with his friend, they both noticed my stares and I saw a smile on his friend's face.

"Hello" he greeted his accent coming out strong.

"Hi" I answered with a shy smile

"I'm Eric, Ire's bff" he said boldly with a goofy smile on his face.

"It's nice to meet you. I'm Mobola"

"So what do you say Mobs?" Kolade asked with a sly smile on his face.

"Yeah sure." I answered with a shrug.

"Awesome. Okay so first we're gonna head down to your hostel to get you some clothes for tomorrow and also your pjs" .

"Hold up, Pjs?. Aren't you guys like hanging out?" Ire asked with a confused look on his face.

I hadn't heard him speak ever since the class started, although I could feel his side stares and I sometimes stared back. It was cute though and I couldn't help myself from blushing.

"Yeah we are, It's just Mobs gonna stay over at my place." Kolade explained with a look of excitement on his face.

Ire's eyes widen in surprise as he took in Kolade's words and I couldn't help but smile at how dumb he was acting. I also noticed the teasing smile on his friend's face and I took in his appearance.

Eric was totally good looking and he had really full curly hair, although he was light skinned he still had this appealing aura that made you want to get close to him in a good kind of way.

"Stay over?!, Are you guys dating?" he asked with a surprise look on his face as he stared straight at me.

Dummy, Tic and I are just really good friends.
I thought with a teasing smile on my face.

"Of course not!. I have a girlfriend" Kolade defended surprising me.

"You do?"

"Yeah. I'll tell you everything when we get to my house okay" kolade said giving me eye signals to drop the topic.

"Okay.." I answered still unsure about what was currently happening.

"Uhm, mind if we join you?" Eric asked with a small smile on his face.

I noticed the sharp look Ire gave towards him but I bet Eric cared less about it because he just had that same goofy smile on his face.

"Uh yeah. Sure" Kolade said

We all decided to have lunch at one of the school's cafeteria. It wasn't that crowded and Kolade made us go to the most expensive one because he really wanted to have a good lunch.

Turns out I made him pay for mine after hitting him in the shins for suggesting we go to a really expensive place to eat. I walked in with the guys feeling a lot of eyes on me making me feel really uncomfortable. Is there something on my face?.I thought as I took my seat next to Kolade. Ire wouldn't stop frowning and he seemed to be lost in his thoughts.
