5:24pm.
'Love in the morning' by Thutmose and Rema played in my ears though my ear pods and we drove in through the black gates of an unknown building into a house compound, with Ivandor's little sister in the back seat.
I guessed where we were now should be Krisdana's house.
As Ivandor reversed to adjust the car in a perfect parking spot, I noticed the compound wasn't as huge as the one in his father's house. It was reasonably spaced, sort of like in my house.
While Ivandor's father's compound was filled up with cars at every corner, I could rather count about three vehicles parked here. Rather, the whole place was filled up with..
..wait oo
..DOGS!?
What the fuck!!! Dogs!!!??
Every single corner of the house, there were huge scary looking dogs - all lined together, circulating the ENTIRE place, leaving no slightest space.
"JESUS CHRIST!!!" I screamed, pulling out my ear pods out of my ears immediately.
Ivandor sharply turned to me alarmed, and Sharon at the back seat, scooted in closer to the front - probably to see why I screamed like that.
My heart beat increased and my breathing was intensified that instant.
Dogs!? Dogs, really?!! I'm so scared of dogs!!!
"What's wrong?" Ivandor asked, looking very scared.
"Why didn't you tell me Krisdana had dogs in her house!?" I screamed.
Ivandor's scared expression released immediately and he gave a sigh of relief.
"Giwa, you scared me." He said, face palming.
"Abeg, abeg, abeg!!!" I rapped with speed. "Why are they dogs here?! Why didn't you tell me tbere were dogs in the house!??"
"I-I didn't know you were scared of dogs," he said and I heard a small laugh leaving with the sentence.
Ehh? Is he laughing?? Laughing at what!!
I turned to him to see him covering his mouth and trying to hold his laughter. I turned back to see Sharon doing the exact same thing.
These people are laughing at me when there is a serious problem infront of us? How will I come down from here with all these dogs all over the place.
"Relax, Senior Giwa," Sharon laughed. "They're actually really nice dogs."
Nice what!??
Those dogs looked blood thirsty!!
"And they're chained. So, they can't even get to you even if they wanted to, Giwa." Ivandor added, humor in his tone.
"My favorite is Bimbo," Sharon told me.
Bim- what?
Before saying anything else, Sharon opened the door and rushed out of the car to one of the huge dogs there - the biggest, scariest one of all of them.
"Ivandor, what is your sister doing!?" I shouted.
"Giwa, Relax!!"Ivandor laughed.
I watched in heavy trauma as Sharon as she played with the scary dog - laughing and hugging it. Then, she put her hamd around the area of the dog's mouth and it opened it's mouth wide_
Jesus!!! Is that thing about to bite her!?
Someone hold my heart!!
But it didn't.
It looked to me like it was the dog's own way of playing with Sharon - opening it's mouth like it wanted to bite her, but not biting.
And this Sharon was laughing - as per, she was enjoying it. Guys, I'm gone!
"Giwa, they won't hurt you." Ivandor told me, holding my hand.
I looked at him, still unsure if I should leave this car or not.
"C'mon, let's go," Ivandor said.
I hesitated for a while before muttering an,"okay."
Ivandor and I stepped out of the car and as soon as we walked into the dog's sight_
*BARK BARK BARK BARK*
This dog barked the HELL out of us!
All of these scary as hell dogs, barking and aggressively trying to run to attack, but were held back by their chains steadily.
I screamed and immediately squeezed myself into Ivandor's chest, almost breaking into tears.
"Giwa, chill," I heard his voice above me, but I couldn't. I kept squeezing myself into him, muffling my screams into his chest.
Why were they barking suddenly?? Is it me they're barking at?? Maybe its because I'm a stranger. But still, I thought dogs only barked at bad people! Am I a bad person!?
"GOD! WHAT'S ALL THE NOISE ABOUT, NAWW!!"
Hyperventilating still, I turned my face to look at who just shouted.
Even in my traumatized state, my eyes widened as I saw Xander Moe - Krisdana's older brother and a pioneer (ex) student of Castron High, walking into the compound from inside of the house.
Christ, he had really upgraded in looks!
His shoulders were broader and he was clearly more ripped now. His muscles were even bulging out from the short sleeves white shirt he had on and he looked so big. He was a lot taller now too. More attractive too, his halfcaste skin popped elegantly - and damn, that beard though!
His eyes moved from Sharon, who was already startled by the dogs aggression by now and had backed away a good distance from them, to me and Ivandor, as I just held onto his shirt tightly in fear.
"Just go upstairs. I'll handle the dogs," he said to all of us, before walking towards the angry dogs.
"YOU GUYS SHOULD JUST CHILL!!" I heard Xander's voice, shouting behind us as the dog's barking continued.
Was he talking to the dogs?
I just shook it off and walked as fast as I could, nearly even hopped, to get inside the house already.
The first place we entered as soon as we got in was the..kitchen?
Okay, I think I get it. We probably got in using the back of the house. Maybe that's how they enter the house.
As we walked past the kitchen, we got into a tiled corridor. I could see the living room entrance at the end, but instead, I followed Ivandor and Sharon up the fleet of stairs the opposite way of it and after walking up the stairs for a while, we got to another tiles corridor.
You see the contrast with Ivandor's house and Krisdana's house; Noise.
I could hear very loud sounds of a football match coming from the TV in one of the doors of a room that I figured probably belonged to Krisdana's brother.
Let's not forget the dozens of dogs still barking downstairs oo.
Then, in another door room, I heard Krisdana's voice talking and laughing very loudly.
Was she with someone in there?
How noisy people like Krisdana and her brother, Xander, were related to Ivandor..I couldn't just understand.
Soon, we were at the door of Krisdana's room. I knew it was hers because I could hear her voice from inside.
When we got inside the room, I saw Krisdana cuddling on her bed with..wait..Yure?
You've got to be kidding me!
So, not only do I have to deal with being in the same room with Krisdana, I have to also do that with Yure Adediji?
I almost told Ivandor I'll be downstairs waiting for him in the car, but then..those dogs..
The couple sat upright seeing us. Or maybe, seeing..me.
All I did was fake a smile. Didn't say anything more.
"Krisdana!!" Sharon squeezed, rushing to Krisdana and the two of them hugged each other, Krisdana softly laughing while at it.
"Bro, how far?" Yure spoke up to Ivandor, and the boys exchanged pleasantries their own ways.
"What about the others?" Krisdana asked Ivandor, holding Sharon in the hug.
"What others?" Ivandor asked.
Yure laughed.
"I don't think he knows," he told Krisdana and that got me watching this obnoxious couple.
What one earth were they talking about?
"Ivandor, It's getting late. I have to go hone soon," I spoke up plainly to ALL their hearings. Yes, even Krisdana and Yure were made to understand that I didn't want to stay here at all.
"Kris, you needed to talk to me?" Ivandor said to Krisdana, who just started blushing suspiciously.
What was happening abeg?
Just immediately, the door opened behind us and her brother, Xander, stepped into the room.
Leaving his hand on the doorknob as he stood by the side of the door, he said,"Seems like you guys have more visitors."
Immediately, like it was timed, I saw Nova, Shade, Hassana and Prissy trooping into the room at the same time, all smiling and cheers.
"HEYY!!!!" They kept saying as they all came into the room at the same time.
Wait! What is happening here??
"Okay, so let me say the truth," Krisdana laughed.
What truth?
"I actually called Nova first cause I wanted to talk to him about something. But, he said he was with Shade, Hassana and Prissy, so I told him to just bring all of them at once since it's Shade's Birthday so we could all have fun!" Krisdana explained.
Ehh? Fun?
"And since I and Nova were already going to be here, Krisdana decided to call you," Yure added, referring to the 'you' as Ivandor.
Okay, so he brought me along. What happens next?
"Oh and you brought Giwa along!!" Hassana chirped in, saying the obvious, not even understanding what was happening here.
"You should have just told me. I would have dropped Giwa off at home before coming," Ivandor said to Krisdana, ignoring what Hassana just said.
"We wanted to surprise you," Krisdana shrugged.
Surprise what? Is it his birthday or something?? What kind of stupid person is this Krisdana girl!
"Giwa can stay..," I heard Krisdana suggest, shocking me utterly.
Was she being serious?
"Yeah," Yure agreed too.
Ehh?
Nah, this has to be a set up!
Ivandor turned to me with raised brows, as if awaiting an answer.
We're there really expecting me to say I'll stay?
"Come on, Giwa!!" I heard Nova come in. I turned to look at him, sitting on Krisdana's bed now with Shade by his side.
"It won't be that bad," Hassana spoke up too.
"Exactly," Prissy agreed, shrugging like she was a bit scared that I'll bite her tongue for even considering I'd stay.
I looked at all of them for a long hard while.
God, I can't believe they're making me do this!
"Fine!" I blurted out.
"Yayyyy!!" came Hassana, and everyone else was excited as well. I just playfully rolled my eyes. My classmates would be the death of me!
Krisdana gave Sharon her phone and she voluntarily hopped out of our gathering and made her way out of the room. She also told her brother to help get snacks for us, which he agreed to after lamenting on how Krisdana has turned him into a house boy.
"Okay, you guys let's play Truth or Dare!" Krisdana suggested, as soon as we all were sitting in a circle. Ivandor was right by my side.
It was agreed by everyone that we'd play Truth or Dare.
"I'll start, I'll start!!" Hassana, who was by my left squealed.
Everyone's attention was turned to her immediately, waiting.
"I'm asking..,"she scanned through the entire circle, from Krisdana to Yure to Nova to Shade to Prissy then me and Ivandor.
"Who are you asking already!" Shade blurted out. First time, I'm hearing her speak since she came here.
"Yure!" Hassana finally announced.
Yure sort of laughed and sat upright, feigning a sort of confidence.
"Truth," he said to Hassana.
"What was the last lie you told?" Hassana asked.
I noticed Yure's confidence level drop immediately. I don't know if anyone else noticed, but it seemed the question took him unawares.
"Yure, answer!" Krisdana urged him on.
As everyone else in the group urged Yure, I noticed him laughing nervously.
What's going on with him??
"Okay okay okay," Yure finally said. Everyone's attention was on him now.
"This morning, I told my mum I liked her hair, " he said.
"You're so mean!" Krisdana laughed, pushing Yure slightly and making everyone else laugh.
"Okay okay, Shade!" Krisdana spoke up, startling the poor girl that was just mentioned.
"Oh, boy," Shade mumbled.
"Truth or Dare."
"I don't know. Truth?" Shade answered.
"Who's the most famous person on your contact list?" Krisdana asked.
Shade paused her lips and thought for a while."Zendaya."
"You have Zendaya's number?" Nova, who was beside her exclaimed, craning his neck aa if to look at her properly.
"You're joking, right?" Ivandor, beside me, followed up.
Everyone apparently was shocked to hear that too. She never even said anything about it before. A whole Zendaya?!
"Well, yes. But it's not like we constantly talk or anything," Shade elaborated. "I just met her one time during a gala event and we had to work together, so I got her number and she got mine. That's all. Ever since then, we haven't really talked like that."
"So, then who was the last celebrity you spoke with?" Krisdana asked.
"On phone or in person?" Shade asked.
"Both," said Krisdana.
"I think that should be Chimdi Gentry," Shade said, seeming sure. "We just texted like literally some minutes before I got here,"
"How both of you are the top models in Nigeria and still not rivals is just wow." Nova said.
"But you guys, that girl is fine!!!" Prissy rather lamented and face palmed, and I just laughed at how she looked.
Okay, this get together doesn't seem so bad though.
"Okay, okay, Hassana!" Yure spoke up, getting everyone's attention.
"Oh, you now want to get back at me now baa?" Hassana went.
"Truth or dare!!" Yure laughed.
"DARE!" Hassana announced, and everyone went "ouuuuuuu". Hassana just raised her hands in a proud gesture, flipping her hair thereafter.
"Okay, okay," Yure said, quietening everyone down. "Without saying a word, imitate somebody in this room and let us all guess who it is."
This excited everyone. Moreover, Hassana seemed the most excited. She immediately sprung up from the floor and started walking to a seat by the mirror in Krisdana's room.
When she got to the seat, she sat on it and smoothly lounged with one arm hanging over the back of the seat and the other in between her thighs that were spread out in a classic lazy guy sitting position. She then faked a straight face and started scanning everyone in the room, with a lazy expression, one after the other.
Everyone broke into laughter immediately because we all knew who Hassana was imitating.
"MR. IVANDOR FEJAUN!!" Nova yelled.
Ivandor looked stunned and surprised hearing his name. Infact, he seemed to be the only one in the circle who was completely clueless as to who Hassana was imitating.
"What? I don't do that!" He said, totally surprised.
"YES YOU DO!!" Everyone shouted at the same time.
"What? That's not true!" Ivandor denied still.
"Guy, it is!" Yure came in laughing. "You'll just stay small and start doing like zombie!"
Everyone laughed again at what Yure said.
Okay, maybe this get together was really really not bad after all.
"I have one for Nova though," Ivandor spoke up afterwards and all eyes were on him immediately.
"Guy, you wan may I cast abi?" Nova said.
"Chill, naww," Ivandor laughed.
"Okay okay, Nova," he said, steadying himself and clearing his throat. "Truth or Dare."
"Dare!" Nova said boldly, earning praises from everyone yet again.
"Open your whatssap app and type 'I love you', pass it round to everyone in the group, let's have a look," Ivandor said.
"Oh my God!!" came Hassana.
While Nova laughed and typed into his phone, Shade was dying with embarrassment. Now, we were really about to see some really juicy chats from these two.
Did I mention I was loving this get together?
"Okay as Nova's phone is passing round, I'll ask Giwa!" Krisdana spoke up, shocking me completely.
Why was she being so receptive towards me all of a sudden?
"Truth or Dare, Giwa." Krisdana asked me.
"Truth," I found myself answering.
"Have you EVER sabotaged a friend?" My question came.
Not that I can recall..
"Well..," I did some thinking then a past memory came. "Okay, okay in Primary 3, I had this friend. Her name was Jadeshola. One time, just because she refused to give me her fancy pencil, I spread a nasty rumor about her. She never knew it was me."
"Oh my God!" Nova bellowed with humor in his tone.
"I was a kid!" I defended myself. "I felt bad can I actually made her cry. She didn't even stay long with us that year. She only had like one term with us so I wish I was nicer sha."
"All these mean things we did as kids," Hassana said. "When you'll now meet them again after.."
"I met this particularly girl again some time last year oo," I said. "Turns out, she's now in Ibadan. Jade is now all posh. Flexing in Lakeview High like a babe!"
"Mad oo," Krisdana coo'd.
"Jadeshola Badmus?" Prissy came in, right after.
"You know her?" I asked, surprised.
"Who doesn't Prissy know in this Nigeria!" Hassana chirped.
Right, our walk about Lagos girl, Prissy Waje.
"Remember the time we visited Blossom High in Ss1 and Prissy literally just introduced us to the whole school!!" Hassana gisted.
I remembered clearly. That day was something else. She literally took us round, and Hassana kept checking out this one single guy the whole entire time.
"Remember Felix?" Prissy teased Hassana, nudging her while at it.
Oh right! That was the name of the guy from Blossom High that Hassana thought was cute - Felix.
That moment, Nova's phone got to me and I just laughed. However, I couldn't snoop around his privacy like that so I passed it on to Hassana without looking at it.
Soon after, Krisdana's brother came in with the snacks and dumped it all for us. Packs of cheeseballs and munch everywhere and when Yure found it hard making a decision on which one to pick, everyone called him "confusion" the entire game period.
To be honest, I was completely surprised I was actually having fun here.
We continued with our game of truth or dare. Shade was dared to talk with an Indian accent for the entire game period. Nova was dared to exchange clothes with Hassana - I nearly fainted there. Prissy was asked to name five body parts she'd love to be kissed on. And when Ivandor was dared to show his Google search history, he refused to and that got me rolling on the floor with laughter. He was now punished and had to apply red lipstick on his lips and leave it the for the entire game period.
It was all fun and games, until Krisdana voluntarily decided to entertain us.
She fundled with the light switches by the door of her room and soon, the entire room was filled with assorted lights illuminating everywhere - different shades of blue, red and purple.
It was so beautiful. Since I was already dark outside, the lights were at it's full beauty potential. Everyone thought so too. Whispers of 'wow' filled the whole place.
How did she have so many assorted light switches in her room?? That's so dope!
Krisdana connected her phone to her Bluetooth speakers and soon, the instrumentals of Everyday by Ariana Grande started playing from it. Grabbing a torch light from her reading desk and using it as a microphone, she gave us one HELL of a performance!
In my opinion, Krisdana should just be a performer. It's not just the voice she had - I mean, she HAD the voice - a powerful confident singing voice. But then, the way she moved her body as she sang too. Impressive.
Things got interesting when she forced Yure up and started using her boyfriend to stage a new part of her performance - rubbing herself all over him, grinding and all that.
These two though..
They seemed so happy.
After the thrilling show Yure and Krisdana put up for us, the lights were put back on and everyone scattered an applause for their little performance.
All of a sudden, I heard someone clear their throat snottily.
I turned,everyone else turned too, to see Prissy Waje standing up, looking very uncomfortable and slightly annoyed.
My eyebrows furrowed.
Ofcourse, no one too was understanding this new demeanor. What was her problem?
"I'm going home," she told us.
She clearly looked disturbed. I couldn't understand though. I mean, a while ago, she was so lively.
"Are you okay,Prissy?" Hassana asked worriedly.
Someone had to ask.
"Yes." Prissy answered stiffly, and without saying another word, she just walked out of the room.
What?
"You guys, one minute," I heard someone else speak up.
My eyes moved from the door that Prissy just left through to Yure, who was now standing by Krisdana, having an expression on his face I couldn't make out.
What was doing this one now?
"Give me a minute, I'll be back," he told us before hurriedly leaving the room as well.
Everyone sat in confusion, moping at ourselves.
What just happened?
This one our uncle Yure and our Aunty Prissy are acting funny business 😂
I want you guys to predict what I probably going to happen. I can't wait to hear your theories!!
How was this chapter?? Hope you enjoyed reading as I enjoyed writing!! How was their game of Truth or Dare???
Did you like this chapter????
