Song: KPA- Dremo and Davido.

PRESENT TIME

"Three weeks... Three fucking weeks! "He growled and suddenly turned over a table in front of him.

A desk.

"She's been fucking avoiding me for three fucking weeks! " He yelled to no one, because he was alone.

He'd waited for everyone to leave class so he could have his temper tantrum without fear of hurting anyone.

"What the fuck did I do?! "His temper had slowly reduced and Nonso walked in with a nonchalant altitude.

Arthur glared at the fool and wished he too had that altitude, but instead he was getting worked up over a girl who refused to make eye contact with him for over three weeks.

"Guy who you dey talk to(Who're you talking to?)" Nonso mused loudly and stared weirdly at one of his close friends.

"I no know say Muna's snubbing don dey make you craze small small(I didn't know that she snubbing you could make you go crazy.)" he smirked at Arthur who groaned.

"Guy, just shut the fuck up, don't call her name near me. " he expected Nonso to drop it and leave him alone, like what was the point of waiting after school to let out some frustration if a stupid moron was adding more frustration to his life.

Instead the buffon...laughed.

"You're funny as fuck oh. Na who you dey do that one with? (Who are you doing that with?)

Munachi.. Munachi.. Munachi... Munachi... Munachi Ariana Odumba. Oya(Okay) kill me. " Nonso taunted and Arthur moved to pounce at him untill his words decoded in his head.

"Her English name's Ariana? " he paused mid-pounce and a smile formed on his lips, but Ariana sounded cute and feminine... She didn't quite fit the name cause she wasn't so feminine.

  Most girls he knew applied makeup constantly. Or at least mascara.

She didn't.

Most girls he knew... Cried.

She didn't.

"... Guy are you even listening to me at all? " Nonso cried out.

"Yeah yeah... Sure man. " Arthur had a smirk now, his "anger" suddenly dissolving.

Maybe, she'd been avoiding him cause she still felt shy over what happened weeks ago.

Or she felt guilty.

He groaned.

How the fuck do you understand women?!

"Her middle name's Ariana. I don't know how you don't know that.. Considering your huge crush on her. " Nonso smirked with the knowledge that he was lying.

But now he was just getting his revenge...

How can I be talking to you and you're thinking of something else?

He was glad Arthur obviously hadn't heard when he'd told him "Guy I'm lying oh.." before he yelled his earlier question that brought back Arthur's attention.

"Um... " Arthur scratched the back of his head.

"How did you know that? " he fired back but suddenly felt very stupid since he was officially dating one of her best friend.

Can't believe this fool has a girlfriend and I'm...

"Silvi. She's her best friend you know? " Nonso smirked.

"... How would I know when she's avoiding and ignoring my existence?! " Arthur leaned on the wall.

The school was completely deserted now, everyone was either at the Cafe or at their hostel chilling and relaxing after evening prep.

But how could he relax when Munachi had publicly declined practicing with him during rehearsals? That was the most obvious hint she'd dropped that confirmed that she was indeed avoiding him.

"Why do you even think she's avoiding you, stupid?" Nonso flexed his new power over humble Arthur...

"You're really dope. " Arthur said.

"Yeah, but I'm not the one Muna's ignoring. Surprisingly she doesn't avoid dope guys like me. " Nonso started walking towards the door. Until Arthur grabbed him.

"Guy wait."

"What? My babe's waiting for me downstairs.. With yours truly. " he smirked at Arthur who smiled.

"Why didn't I realize this earlier on? "Arthur mouthed.

"Realize what? You're the dope one? I realized that a long time ago actual—"

"—Guy shut up.
You're still friends with Muna right? " he continued.

"And she's not ignoring you, I've asked Jasmine why she's ignoring me, I've asked Silvana—"

"—In public or where? " Nonso narrowed his eyes at Arthur.

Why was the fool being jealous at this serious moment of his life?

"In our hostel while you were snoring like a pig, I was fucking your girlfriend who finally accepted to be your girlfriend two weeks ago.
Are you acting stupid or is this natural? " Arthur dropped Nonso's hand and reflexively scanned his empty classroom.

"Fine. I get it. Continue. " Nonso gritted.

"I asked Silvana and they both gave me the same fucking reply... 'She just needs space.' Space to fucking do what?! " Arthur yelled.

"Guy no dey(Don't) ask me abeg(Please.)" Nonso muttered angrily.

"Since you both are still cool and you're my personal person. " Arthur fake grinned at him.

Nonso grinned back falsely. He already knew what his close bro wanted...

Fool wants to use me.

"And my main G. My original baba. The P- destroyer. You're going to ask–no find out. Why she's avoiding me. " Arthur forced a chuckle and Nonso laughed.

"Guy, all these whyning(buttering up) no go do anything for my body(won't work on me) Just add something to my school account... I need to have three PC's next month."

Arthur rolled his eyes.

"15K for what in a month? 5K isn't enough? " Arthur asked.

"I need to spend on my babe wella(Properly) Now she finally wants me back." Nonso replied and Arthur groaned.

Why don't you spend your own money, stupid mofo.

Stingy Warri dude.

"Fine... I'll meet the bursar tomorrow. And you better get me the information before this month ends..." Arthur walked outside his class.

"Thor." He turned back, what did he just hear?

Only Rooney called him that.... Rooney.

"Nonsochukwu."

"Do you really love her?... Like do you really really purely love Munachi? " Nonso asked.

"I've never given you reasons to think otherwise. " He turned again and continued walking away.

"Arthur." Arthur groaned and turned again.

"What?! " he snapped, the realization of the fact that he was about to lose 15K had finally hit him and he wasn't as excited as he was before.

There was no way that stupid oversabi(gossip) bursar of a lady won't call his mother and tell her.

And mid term was close by.

Ladies and gossiping...

"... And oh, Munachi's English name isn't really Ariana. " Arthur glared at him.

That was probably the only reason he agreed to transfer the money to him...

Cause if Nonso knew something about her he didn't, then he was obviously higher in ranks now.

Arthur stared into the empty classrooms that were left unlocked on the floor and wondered how long it'll take to find a dead body in one of them.

"Then what is it? " he tried to remain calm as Nonso walked in front of him. And towards the stairs.

Arthur's eyes flicked down at the stairs and back at his devious roommate.

Oh, he knew what he was thinking.

"I really don't know. But you're still sending the money, that's all I know!" Nonso rapped out loudly and his feet glided gracefully down the stairs.

"Fuck you. When I get my hand on you, you'll never tell a lie in your life. " Arthur yelled immediately and quickly followed him.

"Run! " He heard Nonso yell a floor below him.

"Why? What happened? "That voice froze him. He literally stopped running.

Muna.

"Who's chasing you? " Jasmine's voice was loud and clear.

He saw a head peek upwards below him and smirked when his eyes met Silvana's surprised look.

"A murderer's after me and you ladies dare question me? " Nonso yelled again and turned back to see Arthur so close to him.

"I said Run! " Nonso shouted like a maniac before deciding to throw his legs over.

"Oh God,I'm dating a lunatic. " Silvana groaned.

And Munachi giggled.. Her childish laughter pierced his heart.

He froze again.

And threw his legs over, he'd dropped his feud with Nonso... Temporarily at least.

He had a bigger goal.

He grabbed Nonso's hand and pulled him back before walking onto the lobby.

So he could walk out first.

"You're so gonna die when you get to the hostel." Arthur said switching to his calm reserved voice.

He put his hand on his hair and pushed back his bouncy afro.

Nonso was walking beside him with a smirk directed at Munachi, but she was too absorbed in another's orbs to notice him.

He knew Muna heard him, her eyes glittered as she stared at him, her lips suddenly pulled down. Into a frown.

At once, his anger at her suddenly returned and he glared at her. Before rolling his eyes in fake disgust, her eyes widened at once, then she quirked her thin brows at him.

Giving him a reason to smirk, he shifted his gaze to Jasmine.

"Jazz, Silvia. " He smiled at them both.

Two can also play the game. He thought and remembered he'd sent Nonso to do a more productive work for him.

It would definitely reduce her suspicion and she might tell Nonso the actual truth. If she thought he was angry at her or over her.

He hadn't thought this through but it seemed like a good idea to him.

He smirked inwardly and smoothened his blue ironed house wear.

He remembered how she'd wore his shirt over her shoulders three weeks back, after he'd thrown shades at Chiamaka when she'd found them minutes after he'd pulled Munachi away from her friends, she'd called her a hoe and Arthur had told Chiamaka she wasn't special...

Was that why she was avoiding me?

Was she still carrying a grudge that wasn't hers to carry?

The girl in question had forgiven him.

••

"So Muna baby, do you have an English name? " Nonso quipped up, barely moments after they'd all sat down in the Cafeteria.

The two boys, Williams and Nonso waited patiently for the three girls in front of their hostel and they'd chatted all the way to the Cafe.

Munachi looked at him weirdly.

"Why are you asking? " She asked back.

"It's true gurl. I don't think you got an English name. " Williams piped in.

"It's true oh. " Jasmine added and Munachi smiled at her.

"Muna tell us. What's your English name? " Silvana said.

"I don't really have an English name... I'm just Munachi Odumba. The end. " Munachi replied

"Well that's lame, how can someone not have an English name. It's meant to be native, english and surname in Nigeria. "Nonso frowned at her.

  He knew how he'd escaped getting puddled up by Arthur an hour ago at their hostel. By promising to find out her middle name.

Now how would he believe she has no middle name?

"I've seen a girl with no native name.. She was all like 'Hi, I'm Briana Alisha Nwaoyenye.' Like her last name literally scarred me. So igbotic." Williams rolled his eyes before repeating 'Nwaoyenye'

"Nwaoyenye." Nonso repeated, testing the name on his lips.

It did sound igbotic.

"And the babe was fine die, but it was auto turn off for me. " Williams was interrupted. They had company.

"Wills. Onuorah wants you back at the hostel. Those juniors left their room untidy. " A gruff voice said behind Munachi and she whipped her head backward.

Dominique.

"Ugh.. Why did I even take up dorm head again? " Williams murmured before standing up.

"I'll be back soon." He added before walking out.

Dominique quickly replaced Williams, then Jasmine scooted away to give him the space needed for his huge frame.

Segun sat down beside Dominique forcing Jasmine to scoot some more.

Kenneth was quick to sit too.

Jasmine groaned.

"Kukuma(Just) fall me down. "

The three guys laughed.

Munachi noticed Nonso who sat beside her, wrap his arm round Silvana's shoulder.

Grinning inward, she cooed at his act of possessiveness.

And wondered why his friends were sitting with them, instead of the "Maka's"

Kenelum suddenly pushed him self into her row, shoving Silvana unto Nonso's body.

They were all complete... Except.

Munachi frowned.

And gasped when someone sat beside her. His cologne already told her who.

Arthur.

"Hey babe. " His voice said and she froze.
Was he talking to her?

Munachi didn't want to know, so far she'd been successful at reducing contact with Arthur, Silvana and Jasmine made things easier for her and Williams distracted her whenever he was around.

But now, Williams was absent... Who was going to act like Arthur hadn't asked her a question and asked his own question instead?

Suddenly everything seemed planned to her.

But why would he go through all the trouble to plan everything when he glared at me like he hated me earlier on?

Boys.. How do you understand men?!

"Um... Hey. " Jasmine replied Arthur suspiciously. Not comfortable with Dominique sitting beside her.

She didn't like the way things were going, get rid of Williams then ambush on them??

"Hey babeh. " Segun said and Munachi looked upward, sure he was talking to her.

"Hi? " she sounded scared. Maybe because she was?

"You dey fear (Are you scared?)" Dominique's voice boomed and she rolled her eyes at him.

Arthur and all his friends started laughing... Including Nonso.

Arthur's body beside her vibrated while he laughed and she shivered at how cold his arm felt against her silk soft house wear.

She needed to get out of here before he tried talking to her.

"So Jasmine, is your table complete... Cause we all want to dine here. " Arthur grinned and Muna frowned...

Please say yes, please say yes.

"Um... Yeah we're all complete. So sorry. " Jasmine leaned backward and sent Muna a small smile.

A smile that didn't go unnoticed by Arthur... Unfortunately.

So he was right.

Jasmine and Silvana were in on whatever plan she'd had going on, now everything made sense. Nothing was a damn coincidence.

Williams wasn't just being annoying, it was planed.

"Williams, You, Nonso, Silvana, Me, Kenelum, Kenneth, Segun and Dominique. We just need one more person to make us complete. " Arthur said purposely omitting Munachi's name.

He glanced down at her expecting a reaction but instead she put her arm on the table and placed her head on top.

"You're making an error in there, four girls in our class are benching with us today." Silvana spoke up and Arthur frowned.

Why won't they acknowledge his omission?

"And two guys, we're complete. Plus Munachi. " Nonso said and Arthur smirked.

Finally,

Munachi looked up again. Things were back on track.

"I don't see anyone here—" Kennelum muttered.

"—'Cause they're late. " Munachi spoke for the first time and all eyes turned to her.

There was this obvious thick tension that followed as Kenelum glared at her...

"First come, first serve. "

"Childish." Munachi whispered before laying her head again on her arm.

Arthur stared at her hair and smiled. She's always been the peaceful type.

"That's their business, all I know is no one will have mind to tell me to leave their space. " Dominique boasted.

Munachi rolled her eyes underneath her table, she knew Dominique was literally the only one among his friends who couldn't fight, he relied heavily on his intimidating looks.

Arthur looked at Kenelum, looked at him with confused eyes.

His friends had only agreed to miss out on free panching(Fondling) from the 'Maka's' once he told them he was over Muna.

That news alone was worth missing rubbing a boner over a butt.

His plan was simple, get his friends to believe he was over her. The more people who thought that made it more easier for his original plan with Nonso to work.

He still hadn't actually sat down to properly think things through, but he saw no problem with continually winging things.

Kenelum was the one who didn't believe it, Dominique brought up 'observing his altitude toward Muna' and now they were sitting and 'observing'.

"Woah." Williams muttered behind them all and Munachi once again raised her head up.

"Are y'all benching with us? Why y'all benching with us? " Williams stressed his intonation and Munachi smiled.

Williams eyes scanned the table looking for any suspicious hint at what his hostel mates were planning.

His eyes widening once he spotted Arthur beside Munachi.

Oh no!

Staying at a different dorm—especially by choice had its perks and disadvantages.. This was a disadvantage.

He wasn't aware of plans they made together.

He's been taking up his job seriously – to act like a buffer between these two and now he was fucking up at his duty.

"Cause we love you? " Kenelum replied and William's invincible light bulb lit up above his head.

He started laughing hysterically while he moved gingerly in between Arthur and the table.

"Man, you can't love me. I'm not gay. " Williams said loudly, sitting in between Arthur and Munachi, separating them both...

   He always took his jobs seriously... Too seriously sometimes.

  A job half done is a job not done.

Arthur clenched his left hand beside him and tried to act cool. This was what he wanted yeah? A chance to prove he was over her yeah?

But that didn't mean he was ready to stop inhaling Munachi's perfume.

He noticed Kenelum gawk openly at him, trying to gauge how he'd react to being separated from Muna.

Arthur turned and smiled cheekily at him.

Strike one.

"Sure do act like one. " Segun muttered loud enough for them all to hear.

"He's not. " Jasmine gritted, shocked at how no rude words had left her lips... Yet.

Jasmine was every way identical to Williams, other than the fact that they took up people's personal issues... Personal, they both loved the same things.

"Eesh mama. Calm the fuck down. " Dominique said beside her.

Jasmine cried, "No cuss words allowed!"

Munachi giggled and Arthur almost frozed... If Segun wasn't smirking at him.

Arthur rolled his eyes instead and shrugged. He wondered why his friends were so up on in his business.

"Let's play a game. "Kenneth offered.

"We should play a game minutes before prayer? " Silvana asked.

"Yeah, we still got at least five minutes before someone prays. " That someone was picked randomly. Every dinner a random student was picked to utter few words of prayers before eating could actually commence.

"What game? I'm game. "Williams said, nudging at Munachi.

"Yeah, I'll play. " she said before laying her head down again.

"Same here. "Jasmine said.

"We'll play. " Nonso answered, speaking for Silvana before tightening his hold round her.

"Truth or dare -"

"-There's nothing to spin. " Arthur found himself interrupting Kenneth, he knew what they wanted to do.

And he didn't quite involve it in his plan...

"Yes there is. "Kenelum spoke before dropping a pen on the table.

There's no bottle to spin, bastard.

Arthur stopped himself from saying... If he did, it would give them the wrong impression.

  Well, the right impression since that was what they wanted.

Williams took the pen and stood up before rotating the pen multiple times.

He sat down beside Muna as the pen slowed down.

The covered part of the pen pointed directly at Nonso and the end at Kenneth.

"Truth or dare? " Kenneth asked and Kenelum switched to Jasmine's chair, squishing her between Dominique and him.

Making them five - five on each chair.

"Dare. Always. " He smirked cockily.

Kenneth smirked back, even though Munachi was the target he was still going to have fun with this game.

"You do the dare or you'll sponsor me tomorrow. "Kenneth stated and his smirk grew.

Nonso paused then nodded.

"Cool. Dare you to kiss Silvana..." Arthur quirked at him,

Was that it?

"... Kiss Silvana while she's straddling you, grip her boobs and massage her butt.
I mean, I'm missing doing mine right now, so I gats(Got to) watch. " Munachi's head jerked upward in fear, things like this was why her friend group didn't merge with Rooney's friend group when they started dating, these boys were all crude and rotten, she knew there was no way Silvana would permit that.

... Wow, Nonso's losing some real PC 's tomorrow.

"Oh... Okay." Munachi's eyes widened at Silvana's voice..

  Did I just hear that correctly?

Arthur too was shocked as he watched Silvana stand up slowly, sit on Nonso and turn her body slowly till she wrapped her legs round his bro's waist.

.. Woah,

Silvana's butt popped out, giving her an upside down 'S' shape, her back inverting in as her boobs hit Nonso's chest.

Fuck.

Nonso groaned when she rubbed against him, still not believing she was doing this.

Had he untamed the tamed beauty?

Everyone's mouth went agape as they watched the scene play out.

.. Neighboring prying eyes were fixed on them.

Out of everyone on the table, Munachi was the most shocked.

She knew the couple had advanced in the touching scene but she didn't know her best friend would agree to displaying in public.

"Why are you doing this?..." Nonso murmured in his girlfriend's ears.

And she moaned loudly, sending shocks down every guy on the table.

"'You're not losing a dare because of me and besides, I rather you spend your PC on me. "Silvana whispered in his ear before sucking on his neck.

He groaned.

Their lips touched and his hands found their ways on her body.

Arthur stared dumbfounded by the two. Mostly at how Silvana's butt looked huger than normal.

His brain suddenly went to work, imagining he was in the same position with Munachi instead. And a boner was formed.

"See! Times... Times.. Ehm. Times.
Time's up. "Kenneth stuttered, Silvana's moans had confused his thoughts and words.

The two ignored him and continued eating out their faces and Arthur's eyes didn't move an inch from Silvana's butt not even when Nonso's hungry hand squeezed her cheek.

Kenelum smiled as he watched Arthur drool over them subtly, maybe he was telling the truth after all.

He was over her

"Um... Next?" Segun squeaked. Surprised at how quick things turned.

Williams stood quickly, shamed at how watching his best friend make out turned him on... But that was only normal for a hormonal teenager right?

He rotated the pen again and sat down beside Munachi who'd forced her self to watch how the pen turned.

She gasped when the covered part landed at her and the end at.... Kenelum... Few more inches and it would've been Arthur in her position.

"Truth or dare?. " His voice suddenly took up a deep bass.

Munachi bit the inside of her cheeks and she glared at him before replying...
