CHAPTER TWENTY SIX: THE STROLL

CHAPTER TWENTY SIX: THE STROLL 

"Let's go into the hostel before the time keeper rings the bell" Victoria said as she got down from where she was siting

"Okay, you are so boring. I was expecting that we stroll down that side to our classroom block then turn and come back to our hostel" Morayo said as she described with her hand pointing towards the direction to our block

"Whatever, you guys can go. I have to go to bed and sleep" Victoria said as she yawned

"Does anyone wants to go with me to the place I directed just now" Morayo said as she looked at Vanessa and then me

"I am going, going to bed now is going to be tiring when I wake up around three" I said with a smile

"I will also go" Vanessa said as she looked at Morayo and the already tired Victoria

"You guys can go, good night" Victoria said as she walked towards our hostel to sleep

"Is that how she always do?" I asked as I looked at Morayo

"Yeah, she doesn't like staying outside for that long" Morayo answered as she got down from where she was siting down

"Wow and, you must be bored by that?" I asked as I also got down from where I was siting

"Who won't be bored?" Morayo asked as she shrugged "let's go" she said as we walked towards our block, in front of our block, there are places to sit down.

"I didn't know you also resumed with me" Vanessa broke the silence as she looked at me

"I know right? You must be surprised by the way I am close with them" I said as I looked at her and then at the place Morayo is taking us to

"Why was Benita cousin shocked when she heard your brother's name?" She asked

Gosh, she must like to talk and I think I love that because, she will talk about many gists that happened in school when she gets used to the school

"My brother is popular and their head boy" I answered not wanting to mention that he is handsome because I did not see anything in him that will make him handsome

"She forgot to mention that her brother is too fine, if you see her brother, you will wonder who gave birth to her" Morayo barged in as she looked at Vanessa and then at me

"Are you trying to say I am not fine too?" I asked as I looked at her

"I am just saying he is finner than you that's all" Morayo said as she defended herself and laughed

"If you guys don't mind, do you think Benita's cousin is a match for your brother?" Vanessa asked as she looked at the both of us

"No, a big no, a capital later n-o" Morayo said as she sat down on one of the chairs

"That was what I also thought when she asked me to talk to my brother about her. My brother is not rude and he is not the type to select when it comes to dating, it is just that, my brother can't date her because of her personality, her rude behavior and yes, she is not finner than my brother's ex" I said as I remembered my brother's ex. Jessica, they met in this school and dated for a while until Jessica was caught in a truth and dare situation, she chose my brother's friend over my brother. To be honest, the girl is petite

"Lol, that one go far o" Morayo said in a normal Nigerian pidgin (a broken English that some Nigerians use in terms of many things and of course, the broken English is a very interesting thing to say and hear than some English that you might make blunders in)

"I know, right?" Vanessa asked as she smiled at what I said

"Who was your brother's ex?" Morayo asked wanting to know if the girl is from our school

"Jessica Okoh, do you know her?" I asked as I looked at her

"That fair Igbo senior, the senior is too fine. You are right, that senior is not match for your brother's ex" Morayo said smiling

"I wish I know the seniors you guys are talking about" Vanessa said feeling left out

"No worries, tomorrow when we go to dining we might come across them" I assured her with a smile

"Did you come to this school because it is one of the best or you came here because you have somebody here?" Morayo asked as she looked at Vanessa

"I came here because, my mom's friend son is in this school too" she answered as she looked at Morayo

"Which class is the boy?" Morayo asked curiously

"J.S.S. two" she answered

"What is his name?" Morayo asked

"Kevin Oke, do you know him?" Vanessa asked as she looked at Vanessa and rent at me

"Nah, I have not heard of that name. I might have come across him but hearing of that name, no" Morayo answered

"I just came so, that name is new to me too" I answered looking at her

"The idiot boy said, he is very popular in his set that, everybody knows him" Vanessa said

"Maybe we will know by tomorrow if we see him" Morayo said as she looked at Vanessa

"Okay" she said

"What about you Morayo? What lured you to come to this school?" I asked her as I looked at her

"I came to this school because of, John and Joan's senior brother" she answered making me shocked by her answer

Joan and John's elder brother, does it mean they know each other before coming to this school

"Who is Joan and John?" Vanessa asked clueless

"They are Fracteral twins in me and Floral's class" Morayo answered as she looked at Vanessa and then at me

Just then, I began thinking maybe their brother is my brother's friend or "what is their brother's name and which class?" I asked curiously as I looked at Morayo
