Must Read: Circle Of Three - Season 1 - Episode 3

Cassie looked at the guy ( or man), whose face and features told
the story of an Igbo guy who hustles and then faced Courage
who dropped her books.
‘Kenneth, this is one of my roomies, her name is Cassie.’
‘Cassie, meet Kenneth.’
‘Hello, Cassie.’ Kenneth said, extending his large hand to her for
a handshake.
‘Hi, Ken.’ She replied, smiling back which resonated to a smile
from Ken.
‘He is cute sha.’ She thought loudly while looking at his clothes.

Ken then excused himself out of the room, leaving Courage to her
roommate.

Cassie eyed her keenly for almost an hour, while Courage
uncomfortably cooked indoime and ate. While eating, she still
noticed the stare.
‘Cassie!’
‘Courage!’
She had said nothing but her eyes told Courage all her mouth
wanted to say.
‘He is a friend.’
‘Its a lie, Courage. Haba! If na Comfort bring guy come now, you
go talk another thing.’
‘Abeg no bring comparisions between me and Comfort. Can’t I
bring a friend to my place?’
‘Where did you meet your ‘man-friend’?’ Cassie asked.
‘You are beginning to sound like you are my mom. Abeg free me.’
‘Reverend Sister, I greet you.’
When Courage did not answer, Cassie moved closely and
whispered something to her ear.
‘Cassie, you don kolo, which kind thought be that one? Someone
wey I just meet for library two weeks ago.’
‘Ehen, I don get the answer I wan hear. But come oh, two weeks
too short na! You no even allow am reach one month.’
‘Abeg, Ken is just a friend.’
‘A friend indeed! Wait til Comfort hears this!’
‘Abeg no tell am.’ Courage said, carrying a remorseful face.
‘I go tell am jare, unless you give me part of that indomie wey
you dey chop.’
‘But e don finish.’
“Na your luck be that!” Cassie said triumphantly.

Courage, washed her dishes, then arranged her corner and went
to bed. Cassie waited for Comfort but by 11pm she had not
arrived.

‘Ha, wetin do this girl today? Abi she don go sleep for Tunji’s
house?’ Cassie thought, battling hard not to sleep.

By 11.30, she had not returned. Cassie was about to wake a
sleeping Courage up, when Comfort walked in.
‘Good evening girls!’
‘Where are you coming from? Don’t you see the time?’
‘Abeg, abeg, you no be my mama, no carry you own disturb me.’
‘Ehen, I dey disturb you abi? Make you call me say you need my

‘Abeg no vex na. Na play I dey play.’
‘Which kin play be that? You no sabi say I go dey worried?’
‘No vex. Na Tunji carry me go Diganga for one party after we

‘I thought you were going to Guess?’
‘Tunji changed his mind. Wo, that party rocked.

Enough drinks,
plenty small chops and better DJ. Olamide even showed up.’
‘Eh, Olamide ke?’ Cassie asked.’ Which one?’
‘The one wey be your classmate.’ Comfort answered.

Cassie hissed. ‘What kind of drinks were served?’
‘Exotic drinks, local drinks like Sminoff, Don Simon were also
present and of course, Henessy.’
‘Abeg I wan sleep jare. Thank God say I see you sha. Good
night.’
‘Good night.’

The rest of the week went without any incident, Cassie and
Courage faced their studies while Comfort, despite her party
nature, mixed the two sides together.

Two weeks later, Comfort came in a gleeful manner.
‘Comfort wetin happen?’ Cassie asked.
‘Guess who I see Courage with today?’
Cassie acted like she did not know, but she suspected it was
Ken.
‘I saw Courage with a guy.’
‘So what’s special about that? She no fit get male friends?’
‘Ah, this one pass male friend. If you see the way she was happy
eh, e be like say she don fall in love.’
‘Eh, e good for am.’
‘But I go disturb am tire eh,She dey form holy, holy for us.

Meanwhile she dey toast better guy for school.’
‘Na the guy dey toast am oh.’
‘Na she jare, you no sabi say plenty ways dey to toast a guy.’

While Comfort and Cassie were arguing about Men, Courage was
walking along Moremi Car park, hand in hand with Kenneth.
