“What are you saying nah? Somebody that only has two jeans trousers and he’ll be doing wash and wear” a guy said as the class burst into laughter.

“Haba Kayode, how did you know?” a girl asked.

“Okay, next time he wears jeans, check the trousers” Kayode replied.

“Shey Crescent no dey pay him money ni?” another girl asked.

“What are you saying? The least the pay the teachers is 100K, kilo mean?” Kayode asked with a frown.

“Abi our zaddy is spending the money on girls” someone said as the class roared with laughter.

“Abeg o, let’s be guided, which one is our zaddy? That one is not my zaddy o” a girl said as the class roared with laughter again.

Toyin peered at her best friend through her glasses, “Rebecca, must you talk ehn?” Toyin asked as Rebecca frowned.

“Wetin? Shebi I just dey tell Bola say, Thomas no dey my zaddy” Rebecca replied as Toyin laughed.

“Who zaddy he be? Chill nah” Toyin said laughing.

“When will you finish this book?” Rebecca asked.

Toyin flipped through the remaining chapters as she turned back to her best friend “It’s remains small sha” Toyin replied.

“You and all these stupid romance books” Rebecca said as Toyin laughed again.

“They are not stupid awey” Toyin said as she returned back to her novel.

The novel in Toyin’s hands was suddenly snatched away and Toyin sighed. She needed no fortune teller to tell her who snatched the novel from her.

Toyin raised her head to glance at the grinning male in front of her, “Mr Williams, how I can help you?” Toyin asked.

“Why do you read all these romance books sef? It’s not as if you can experiment the scenes there” the male said with disdain as the class roared with laughter.

Toyin rolled her eyes as after almost three years of Femi acting like this; she had gotten weirdly accustomed to it.

“Give me back my novel Femi” Toyin said lazily.

“Why don’t we try any of the scenes?” Femi asked excitedly.

“Not with me though, I can’t touch filth. Maybe with any of the guys” Femi added as the class roared with laughter.

“Femi, I’ll ask one last time, give me back my novel” Toyin said.

“Whoa! It’s nice to see you grow balls. I’m not giving you back, what happens aftermath? What are you going to do?” Femi asked with a grin.

Rebecca frowned as she turned to Femi, “Guy, how far nah? What’s your problem with her? Abeg give her back her novel and get the fuck out” Rebecca said unable to take any of Femi’s insults any longer.

“Hashtag Reby Gray, I know it’s in girls’ nature to poke nose but mind your business will you? After all, I and Toyin are just having a chat” Femi replied as he turned to face Toyin with a grin.

“Hey four eyes, I’m waiting to see what you want to do” Femi said squinting his eyes at her.
