Four

I pushed the meal card back to her and smiled "What are we friends for when I have to use meal card to buy bottle water for you?" I asked before I turned away and started hurrying back to the cafeteria.

The line was already long as most SSS3 students had just finished their classes. I joined the queue as I waited patiently for my turn.

A smile crawled up my lips as I saw Snr Jasper holding Snr Kanyin's hands. He whispered something into her ears and she laughed.

So cute.

I turned to see who was at my back and my eyes widened. It was Snr Toke, Snr Fefe and Snr Chioma. They could be said that they were BIC most popular girls.

Snr Toke had box braids on her while Snr Chioma had Bob Marley on. Snr Fefe has usual kept her short hair giving her that boysih look. No wonder Snr Dann always called her his boyfriend.

I turned to check how the line had moved only to find Ini, Ife and SK walking towards me. I froze as my heart started to slam against my chest erratically. I tried to pull my eyes away from Ini but I couldn't. My hands became sweaty and I tired to wipe it off my jacket.

Why were they approaching me?

My fantasy shattered when I heard Ini greet Toke.

"Snr Toke" Ini greeted.

"Ini, how are you?" Toke asked.

"Fine" Ini replied.

"Snr Toke, this one that you are getting finer every day yi" SK teased and I laughed internally.

Toke laughed "It's you that know" Toke replied.

"Of course, only I know" SK said winking at Toke.

"Its Toke you are testing your flirting skills on. Na small thing Phil do you the other day" Chioma said as the girls burst into laughter.

SK pouted "Snr Phil gets too jealous easily" SK said.

"Let him catch you" Chioma added.

"This one will be doing as if he's dumb" Fefe said as she kicked Ife.

Ife frowned immediately "Snr Fefe haba, your kick carries weight nah. I'm even thinking you are actually a boy" Ife said.

"Ma hear" Chioma said as they laughed even Ife wore a small smile.

"Snr Toke, I have some questions for you" Ife said.

"Bring it when you close" Toke said as the boys nodded and walked away.

My eyes trailed after Ini as I smiled  a little.

"Is he that fine?" Toke asked and I turned to her. When I discovered she was talking to me. I turned red instantly and rushed forward. I quickly bought the bottle water and sprinted out of the cafeteria.

Toke turned to her friends "Why is she running away?" Toke asked.

"Na your pikin nah" Chioma told Fefe as Toke burst into laughter.

I could hear their laughter as I ran away. I wasn't angry or anything though, if I were them; I would laugh as well. I had always been the shy type. Checking my wristwatch I hurried back to the class.
