Second chapter guys
Thanks so much for the support and love.
Mercy's POV
"how can someone be fine like this?" I asked myself and well my annoying subconscious decided to reply by saying , if you ask me na who I go ask? . I sighed inwardly, you are mumu before. I said back and faced the most handsome male specie in the world.
And well he wasn't even looking up , he was just typing away on his phone.
I turned back to Halima and smiled , then she pointed at the other two handsome guys,
"This is Iremide and this other yeye boy here is Goriola." She said grinning at the said Gori. Something is definitely there. I can feel their chemistry.
So that's the Mide that Trisha was going on about . He's cute and so was Gori.
"So you are calling your boyfriend yeye abi? Don't worry." Gori said with a little frown. And then Halima pouted while squeezing his cheeks making him chuckle.
Awwwwn they are so cute , I've never had a boyfriend before. Even in highschool where I always kept my bad girl persona , which was all a lie.
I looked back at the hot guy in front of me , he even has his ear pierced. I checked his clothes and he was wearing a white vneck and well I obviously can't see the rest.
"Mercy ,What do you want to eat?" Mide asked taking me out of my staring concert. I turned to her , "uhm what are you guys having?" I asked back cause I honestly don't even know what to eat for the first time.
"Amala , this people are known for their Amala ehn ." Trisha said back facing me. Amala , I thought all of them will act porsh and order rice or something.
"Okay , I'll eat amala and ewedu." I said with a grin . "Trisha your roommate is so cute." Mide said with a smile facing me.
I felt uncomfortable, until Trisha hit his head, "leave my roommate for me ." She said grabbing my hands and standing up.
"You guys want the regular right? keem?" She asked while standing with her hands on her hip. A couple of yes echoed round. While the Hakeem just nodded.
She linked her hands into mine and walked to the counter. She told the lady the food we wanted and when she was done she turned back to me.
"Mercy, I can see you staring at keem ." She said making me give her an embarrassed smile.
"Well he's cute, you can't blame me ." I said back straight away.
"Don't fall for him Mercy, I know he's hot but resist it. " She said with a frown making my small smile disappear.
It's not like i like the guy but hearing her talk like that is just somehow. And the only question popping in my head is why so I asked her.
"Why?" I asked with a frown of my own.
"Just don't... Have you seen Mide?" She asked foolishly in an attempt to change topic.
I rolled my eyes at her , "mumu , asking me jamb question." She just chuckled at my statement.
"Why are you na angry like this? Yeye." She said as we both walked to the table sitting down.
They all seemed so familiar with one another , all of them talking about their former school or so. I was just lost in their argument.
I brought out my own phone and decided to chat with my own friends too because this looked like I was a sixth wheel.
I went to the wattsap app immediately I opened my phone. Messages were blasting from the various groups that I was in.
When the messages were fully loaded I had like 4500 unread messages.
I went to the group I liked best. I opened it and quickly texted them. From one text I joined their argument. I didn't even know when I started laughing out loud like a mad person.
I stopped when I looked up and found everyone's eyes on me, you Know that song, all eyes on me, it felt like that . Even Hakeem's eyes were on me.
And then they all started laughing, and I found myself joining. Well all of us except mr grumpy.
When we were all done laughing, the foods were served.
It was Amala they all got different soups. It looked so delicious that I could not even stop myself from picking the fork fast.
"So what made you laugh like that?" Lim said with her eyes on the Amala in front of her.
"Just one sticker like this that my friend used to reply another friend. " I said with a chuckle.
"The laugh was so funny ." Gori said and when I frowned at the fact that I probably sounded like a horse, he quickly added ,"but cute , it's so cute ."
"Hmmm, I know you're lying." I said back and focused on my food. Muting all of their voice from my head I focused on the food in front of me.
When I was done , I finally looked around they were all talking. They should always follow table manners . I looked at their plates and noticed their foods were still there.
Ehh was I too fast or were they eating like snails? .
I rested back on my chair and tried to grab one thing they were saying but all I heard was,"No,yes ...." And so on.
I sighed and picked my phone again , this time going to Wattpad instead. I opened the book that I was reading earlier and like that I was in my own world again.
I don't think I fit in this their group. They seem to familiarised with one another. I looked at the person sitting directly at my front. His eyes and all his focus on his phone. What could he be possibly doing?
Like he's been pressing that phone since.
I sighed and wondered when they'll be done.
**â **
Thirty minutes later and we were finally leaving. I've never been so glad to leave somewhere like this.
I quickly grabbed my clutch purse , I walked to the counter to pay for the food but they stopped me. "No oo ,food is on keem today." Gori said with a grin patting Keem's back.
Hakeem just sighed and pulled out a few thousand notes from his pockets . "Thanks." I said and he looked at me and nodded.
He had no expression on his face , nawa oo. Why can't he just say you're welcome. Two simple words.
We left the restaurant and Mide offered to drive us home in his car where the rest to would stay. ,But Trisha has been arguing with him that it would be too tight.
From my observation, Mide also likes Trisha. I wondered how that truly felt .
After the whole argument , Trisha decided it would be better if we trek well it was a five minutes walk.
"Should we trek?" She asked me, but me being me , a lazy human being said no and now we were squashed in the car.
Mide was driving, keem called shotgun and the rest of us were sitted at the backseat , Halima and Gori decided to lap so it was a little bit better.
The Toyota Corolla was blasting songs and after three minutes or so we were already at the front of the duplex building.
I quickly stepped out , I couldn't deny their presence was welcoming but also choking. I was even angry sef , they all just use to forget someone , me .
Trisha waved and I joined her awkwardly.
I entered into the house , "so did you have fun?" Trisha asked and surprisingly I just said , "well with being a sixth wheel right?" .
I walked faster and climbed the stairs quick leaving a surprised Trisha. i opened the door and stepped inside the apartment.
I walked to my room and drew the boxes to my side immediately . I heard a knock seconds later.
"Am sorry, I didn't know you felt like that ." She said with a frown .
I sighed , "it's okay . I guess I just got lost in you guys conversations. I don't think I can fit." I said truthfully.
"You will , you're my friend and my friend is their friend and you're cool .they like you." She said back making my smile come back. she sat down beside me in front of the wardrobe which was wide opened.
She pulled one box to her side and opened it , I pulled the second one and opened it too.
"I think Mide likes you too." I said making her face bright.
"Really? How do you know?" She asked excited as she stretched pile of clothes to me while I arranged it.
"Well I'm a good observer . He was just staring at you all along. And he tried to rile you up when he complimented me ." I said , and she had a surprised look on.
"It's a lie , wow. Well he should ask me out already. So who's the lucky guy?" She asked making me laugh.
"Me am single and searching." I said waggling my eyebrows , "just don't search to Keem's side. Cause I noticed your ogling eyes too." She said making me scowl.
"He's cute and hot now , you can't expect me not to look." I said back collecting another pack of clothes from her.
"Whatever. Did you enjoy that Amala?" She asked. "Ehhh you got to be kidding me, enjoy? I loved it." I said making her laugh.
**â **
"Peters Mercy." I said to the man in front of me. "Matriculation number?" He asked again.
After five minutes he handed my schedule to me.
I looked at the paper , all the classes that I would start from next week Monday was written there.
I stood outside waiting for Trisha when someone walked straight into me making me fall straight on my butts on the floor.
All the papers I was holding fell straight on the floor, I quickly picked it not wanting anyone to step on it.
"Are you fucking crazy? Can't you see?" I asked angrily and looked up.
The guy in front of me had a bored look on. He stretched his hand out and I looked at it for a long time, "do you want me to help you or not?" He asked with an impassive voice.
I sighed and grabbed his hands, he helped me up and now looking at him face to face I realized he was cute. What's with uni guys , They all looked good.
He rubbed the back of his neck, "am sorry. " He said and immediately a pain shot through my butts.
I looked up at him , "sorry my foot , what the fuck! Can't you see. How can you just walk straight into me , am I like invisible or something or are you blind?" I said all in one breath.
Well that goes my plan . Which cult will see me right now and not think I fit.
What do you guys think?
