Too Toxic

Lanre flared up when Fred accused her of wanting to come poison him. She wanted to slap him, but she refrained. “Fred, na today I know say you no get sense! Even if say na small pikin own, e no de! You do not have sense”. Lanre said. Then she got angry even more when she saw Chibuzor rearing out his head from his apartment. She immediately went drag him out.

“Chibuzor, I give you purge medicine, make you purge! I did not intend to kill you o! If I intended on killing you, will I send Ify the remedy and asked her to use it for you?”. Lanre said. She was visibly angry. Chibuzor told her that she was lying. He said that it was Ify who had saved his life. She was not anywhere near there.

Then Chibuzor told her that she better go look for a place she will stay till when she returns to her home. Ify had said she did not want her anymore.

Lanre shook her head when Chibuzor said that. So Ify has already broadcast to them over here that the both of them had issues. This annoyed Lanre. She went and took her bag and then she left the compound. She decided that she would only come back when she was coming to carry the rest of her luggage. She left the compound angry.

Lanre did not know what to do, especially where to go. So she decided to lodge into a hotel. Her project defence was in three days. After she was done with her project, she thought she would go to her home in Ibadan where her mother live. Lanre had decided she won’t stay more than two days after she was done defending her project.

So she paid for a room to last her five days in a hotel. Then she left layer the next day to her former apartment to go get some of her necessary things. She got there and Ify was home. Lanre got in and started to pack her things, only the ones that will be needing. Then she told Ify that the reminder of her things should be there. She told her that in less than a week, she was going to come get them.

“I’m sorry, but that cannot happen. Please pack all your things, I done tire”. Ify said telling Lanre she was tired. Lanre was surprised.

“Ify of all times, it is now we are graduating that you are doing this?” Lanre asked. Ify laughed. “Lanre, you started it!” Ify said.

“You are too toxic! I would not want to keep someone like you as a friend outside this school walls. Like, how will I even do that? You are not even in my class Lanre! You no reach! Yet you form as if your father is the president of Nigeria”. Ify said. Lanre did not waste time in slapping Ify across the face. Ify was fully aware her father is late, yet she used that word.
