The Reunion

"How about you go out with me?"
"How about no"

"Seriously, I've been at this for a while now" Mide lamented. Tokunbo Ademide, hmmm everyone knows him as Tokunbo or just call him Ade but I prefer Mide, it cute, isn't it? Besides it rhymes with mine Iremide.

Hello?? Mide questioned realising I zoned out.
"What were you saying?" I asked
"Well..." he started "Since you aren't going out with me, how about prom?"
"What about Prom?" I interrupted, slowing down the wheels in my head and wondering if this is seriously happening, "Is Tokunbo Olabamiji Ademide about to ask me to prom?".

"I want you to be my date to senior prom" I heard him say. "Oh, M G, it's happening" I said in my head calming my racing heart. I agreed to be his date and skipped to class, literally skipped. I just hope he doesn't think I'm too excited.

What happens when Iremide bailed on Tokunbo on prom night and that too leaving him wondering what went wrong after their epic closure. Will they continue to be indifferent even when they meet ten years later at their high school reunion or address the elephant in the room. Why do their eyes speak volume while their mouth is kept shut? Will they be able to move on from their awkward past or pay the dumb game?
