Six
After closing, I quickly packed my school bag and rushed towards the girls.
"We are going to Dallas to see Dare" Temi said as I turned to her.
"Will you take a long time?" I asked.
"Not really, I just want to see him and say hi" Temi replied as I nodded. She should be done before my dad came to pick me up.
"You don't want to go? Abi you can't talk to boy again?" Gani asked as I smiled.
"When did I say I was not going?" I asked as we walked outside the school towards Dallas.
Dallas was a club house. Well, it was a student club house; it was a fancy restaurant in the afternoon and a frenzied club house at night. I had only being to Dallas in the afternoons never at nights but the way Temi and Josie talked about it made me to long to come but I didn't dare.
We walked into Dallas and I spotted Dare right away. He looked exactly like all the pictures Temi used to post. He was seated in a mist of boys and stood up as soon as he saw us.
"Hello ladies" he greeted with a wide smile.
Whether I liked him or not, I had to admit that Dare was one handsome guy. He had a small face which made him look younger than his age.
Dare exchanged hugs with Josie and Gani before slapping handshakes with Kunmi. He turned to me wearing a surprised expression.
"Err..... Who's she?" Dare asked.
"Rachel" Gani replied as we sat down.
"Whoa! Rachel, I'm Dare. Nice to meet you" Dare said stretching his hand for an handshake.
I shakily streched out my hand and took the handshake.
"Awwn... You are shy?" Dare cooed.
"Shy kor? She's not just shy, she's naive and clumsy" Gani snorted and everyone burst into laughter.
I withdrew my hands and turned red from embarrassment. I had expected Gani to say something worse but what she said was worst.
Gani ordered for drinks and snacks as Dare pulled Temi into his laps. My eyes scanned the restaurant and I noticed a lot of students were there, mostly from our school.
"Hope you people are not in an hurry o? I want to spend time with my baby" Dare said.
"Not at all, we've got all the time in the world. I've called Judas to come over too" Josie replied as my eyes widened.
Didn't Temi say she wanted to say hi? What was Josie saying?
I was passed a bottle of Coke and meatpie. I sighed internally; we had gone out many times together and yet Gani always forgot that I didn't take meatpie or Coke.
"Eat it nah" one of the boys said when he saw me staring at my tray.
Gani hissed immediately "Do you think its drugged? Who wants to drug you in the middle of the day?" Gani asked as the boys burst into laughter.
I forced a smile when I saw Temi glaring at him and started to eat the meatpie. I started feeling nauseous immediately and I quickly excused myself.
