Must Read: How 3 Girls Fought Over 1 Guy (A Tale)

We were all tired, mercy was already sleeping, I don’t know if toke was sleeping or not cus I could not see her face.

David was telling the driver not to speed, the driver was moving at snails speed , no car in front of us for miles and David is still telling the driver that he is too fast?. I understand sha, he does not want us to meet up with uzoma and her goons.

I was still thinking about how to carry out my project, will she be okay with it if I kiss her in the cab?, I decided to see how time will help me out, so I decided to wait. She must know I’m still interested in touching her so I also placed my hands on her bare laps, made sure my hands where on the upper side. she did not shift , no movement, is this an invitation or probably she is fast asleep, early morning cool breasee after a night of fun can make you fall asleep sharp sharp.

I decided not to go further, not now anyway, I will make my next move when the time is right.

We were all almost asleep when we got back to campus, David was awake though, he was almost drivING with the driver, looking left and right as if we were about to be attacked.


We got to the hostel, came out of the cab and toke payed the cab man, David and I excorted the girls to their hall, we got the the point where boys are not allowed to go further and said goodbyes, I told toke that I will come see her later in the day ” don’t go anywhere o” I said, she asked why and I told her “me and you get unfinished bussiness”.

She did not reply, she just went inside, on our way to our hostel, I gave David ekaite’s message, do you remember her? she was the one who told me , sorry, who ordered me to tell David that he must come see her by 8pm today. David said ok and we parted.

When you go to a party all night, you sleep till afternoon, when you go to a party all night and have the same experience we had, you sleep till evening.

I and David did not sleep till evening sha, by 3pm I Don already baff, borrow perfume and hair cream and was smelling nice. I went to David’s room to wait and play ps2(play station 2) till around 4pm when I will go and see toke, we have just graduated from ps1 and the boys where trying to be best in the newest Konami winning eleven.

They always complain when they see me, we always had two formats , if their are many boys in the room we play in in “knockout style”, if we are few, we play “winner stays”. Winner stays style is when the losser give the game pad to the next in line, whiLe the winner continues to hold his pad. since I win most times, they sometimes do not like my presence at all.

We fell into the conversation about the party yesterday, the party was not for ordinary students and they where hailing David for not only being able to enter the club, but going to the vip section. unlike nowadays when yahoo money could get you into anywhere, in those days ,most boys have not seen vip section before(including me), some don’t know what it is, some don’t even know it existed, in fact 50% of the boys in the room have not been to a club before.

David was basking in the glory until I decided to bust his balloon small, I told the boys some parts of what occurred after the party and they started laughing , David was doing damage control but we all know that his one or two hours of fame is over. We all changed the topic when yabbing took over, boys who are friends can yabb for 24 hours non stop.

femi is from oyo town ,he always has a reply to everything you say, chidi, he is igbo but grew up in Warri, he is always ready to make things worse.

Lately I’ve noticed that they mostly refrain from making aDe the center of the yabbing, but I still can’t figure why, as for me I still relate with him the same way I did in 100 level.

Time is 4:30pm, it’s time to go, it’s about 19 hours ago that the journey to satisfy my konji started, as I was leaving , I realised something, what if toke decides to get down with me , I no get venue o,no where to go for privacy. I’m quite sure the boys in my room will not leave because of a girl, na that time one of them go bring out textbook to read, while another will bring out bible to study, on one occasion when a roommate was visited by a girl , one of those guys gave the girl church pamphlets, with one of the pamphlets talking about sin!, can you imagine!

I went back to the room and asked the guys for space to play match, I was unanimously rejected, that only the official members of the room can make such request, I begged and begged but them no gree, I called David aside, begging him to use his own membership to get room time, he could not get it!

I was dejected, the success of my project is already gravely affected even before I started it, I went back to my room , but on seing my roommates, the idea of talking to them about room time faded immediately, Im sure one of them will decide to use that same time to organise fellowship in the room.

I must still see toke anyway, so after a while, I decided to leave, I saw David leaving the hostel too, but I don’t know where he was going, it was later he told me that he had to leave cus he does not want his girlfriends Come to the room. You could have asked, since he does not want his girlfriends to meet in his room, he could have gone to any of their rooms, but the bastArd guy had other plans.

I got to toke’s room, she and mercy had just woken up, they had taken their bath and went back to sleep around 1pm(girls must take their bath before 4pm, or you will have to use the dreaded bathroom in the hallway).

I went to her section and sat on her bed to gist with her, after like 10 minutes mercy said
mercy: ” na wa for you o, so anti, this is now it is now, you came to my room, you just said hi and went to sit with her(toke)
me: “haba, you know about matters of the heart na, absence makes the heart grow fonder”
toke: (laughing)” absence Ko, presence ni”
mercy: “anti, so few hours of absense is making your heart grow fonder?”
me: “yes o, once I’m glued, Im glued”
toke: ” anti-gum”
we gisted for a while when mercy just left abruptly, we just realised she is not in the room again. After a while toke said she is hungry, I tried calculating the amount of 20 naira, ten naira and five naira notes in my pocket, then I removed the amount of money I will use to transport myself home for the weekend, calculating the places I can trek instead of taken a bike . After few seconds of calculation, I realised I could buy food for both of us, but no more eating till I enter my papa house.

I said we should go and eat , she said she needed to change, I said ok, she looked at me and I realised that what she meant was that I have to go outside her bed area, all the girls in her room have drapes they can pull to cover their section, I went outside the room and in 10 minutes time she was with me , fully dressed with makeup. “women sha” I said in my mind , “you want to go and eat and you are dressing up as if you are going far”, well you can’t blame them , some oyinbo people still dress for dinner!, (I hope any of you readers is not one of them)
As we left her hostel, I was walking past the expensive restaurant since I have another venue in my mind, the food their is larger and cheaper, as a student it’s quantity over quality anytime anyday. Toke asked where we are going, I told her, she said ok, we went inside , ate and came out, since the sun was still up, we decided to go back to her room. As we got to that expensive restaurant area, she said we should go inside , that she wants to buy something.
“dem use this place do una” I said in my mind ” one of these days boys will figure out the jazz the person wey get the restaurant they use for these girls. I was pondering what to do next,if it where mercy now, no wah ala, she knew she will have to pay, but I still don’t know how toke will handle my “broke boy” status. by the time we got to the door, I decided to open up stylishly about my financial status.
me: “babe, what do you want to buy”
toke: ” ice cream”
me: ” how much is it”
toke: ” ####”
me: (eyes bulging)” is that the amount they sell ice cream here”
toke: ” yes, two will cost ####”
me: (eyes almost popping out)”I….I…..I….”(I did not know what to say)my brain was just saying “o ti pari, o ti pari”(it is over) over and over again.


The price of one ice cream is more than the money we used to eat and my transport Home combined , now she wants to buy two, I suddenly started hating ice cream.

As we got to the ice cream section, I summoned up courage
me: ” wait first, their is something I have to tell you, are their no other places they sell ice cream?”( I was ready to use my transport money as long as we can get it cheaper and it’s affordable, things we do for love!)
toke: ” they have at ****, but it’s not that good, the one at **** does not have vanilla, if we go to ****, they might not be opened by now, so I prefer here or **** outside campus(the girl in charge of sales was about to take our request)” which do you want”
Already numb from the embarrassment that’s about to take place and from the realisation that I’m dating a very expensive babe, imagine she know all the ice cream vendors around, she even knows their pros and cons.
me:” which we tin?”
toke: ” which flavour, vanilla, chocolate, which one?”
me:” are they the same price?”
she and the sales girl both look at me with the same face, I wanted to enter the ground, they will still Bury me here anyway.

I think toke understood what was going on, or she has planned to pay for the ice cream all along, cus she put her hands in her skirt pocket and brought out crisp 50 nairn notes.

As I beheld the new notes and realised she is going to pay, my skin colour changed back to the normal light brown from the ash grey colour it had turned to. She ordered for both of us, I took the ice creams and we headed back to her room , she was dead silent and did not say a word, as we entered her room, we realised their was no one in the room.

We had ice cream that I’m afraid we will not be able to finish, we had the privacy of the room, we were both seated on her bed, I still had filaments of the konji from yesterday night, I think this is the best time to take my project to chapter 3.
