Tade hissed before pouting his mouth towards Made.

“Why you just come sneak on me that? You sabi say na correct slap I wan land you before? ”

“Wetin I do na? I no even sneak, na just play I dey play with you. Your mind no even dey here.”

“So? Wetin bring you come?” Tade eyed him nastily.

“Guy, Guy, take am easy na! We dey fight?”
“Yes, we dey fight!” Tade replied, obviously lying. He knew what Made will say if he says the truth.

He will simply say: “Get a girlfriend!”
Tade was not ready to hear that horse shi.t!
“No vex, me dey think about assignment.” He finally apologised to Made.

“Easy oh! Made said. Na so person dey start to dey mad. Na just assignment oh.” Then Made started gisting about school and the babes for im department, Tade half-listening. Then he asked about Chuks.

“I hear say babe dey fight over am. Na true?”

“Made! Made!! Made!!! You don come with your gossip!”

“Wetin you dey listen before? Abeg na true or lie?”

“I no sabi, ask Chuks when you see him.”
“Okay oh! He made to leave. Before I go, somebody said I should give you this.” He brought out a piece of paper, obviously full scalp sheet. “Take.”

“Who give you the paper?” Tade demanded.

“Na one guy give me, im talk say na babe send am. Wetin be my concern?” Made said as he left

His curiosity grew as he stared at the leaving body of Made, until he was out of sight, then he opened the paper, which was previously sealed with candle wax.

It was ……a kind of love letter.

“Tade,
I know you are single and I don’t care if you are in a relationship, but I like you and I want to be your girl. I don’t know why you are avoiding me but I don’t care. What I care about is the well-being of our relationship, which is none existent for now. If you keep resisting any effort from me to get close to you,……………… figure out the rest.”
Tade looked with horror, and then interest at the letter. He knew who could write this.
It had to be Wande.

Meanwhile, far away on Ede road, a meeting is happening…………..

“Who did you see with Toke?” a young handsome man bearing a scar across his eye asked.

“Na one bush boy dem call Korede.” Another one answered. “The idi.ot even had the nerve to openly date her.”

“Blade, Kira, go send this imp a message so he will have a taste of me, Nightcrawler!”
“When shall we strike, sir?” A light skinned dude with a sly smile said.

“Two days time, Kira.”
“But we have that senator’s work to do on that day, don’t we?” Blade, a short, dark dude with excess hair on his body asked.
“Stop shying away from such work, Blade.” Kira told him. “You may soon need us to do such for you.”

“Kira, mind you business.”
“Blade, I was just……..”
“Enough, both of you!” Nightcrawler whispered at them. “We are in a busy road in the full glare of the day, do you have some manners? If you speak any more, I will have your heads. We will send the message next week!”

Meanwhile, Korede was doing some ‘serious’ business with Toke.
“You see, am a very nice person.” He stated. He had just brought her some ice-cream from Fivers as they walked around SUB.
“So?”

“I love you, Toke. You see, I can d anything for you, even lay my life for you. And my dad is rich and successful. He is well connected, so I will be well-placed. If you don’t reject me now, you won’t……”

“Will you just shush it there, Korede! Who do you think you are? You, this church rat that can hardly afford #500 Ice-cream! You that is living on Toyin….”

“Forget about…..”
“Shut up! If I hear anything from you again,I swear I will punch you to hell and back” She shook her fists. “Better leave me alone, Korede. You can’t handle me, not to talk of my boyfriend.” She walked away swiftly, swagging her as5 around.

“I swear, I go still tap that as5!” Korede said. He did not know that he had other things to worry about.
