Two weeks had gone since the Christmas party and school had finally resumed. It was a Sunday afternoon and Daniel just got to his apartment. After the church service, he decided to get back to school to prepare for the resumption of lectures
Opening the door to his apartment, everywhere was covered in dust. He then realised he had forgotten to close a window. Giving a huge sigh, he walked in, dropped his luggage beside the door, took off his shirt, grabbed a broom and set sail. After spending close to 20 minutes mopping, cleaning, sweeping and reorganizing his room, he was finally done. He stood akimbo, admiring the new shape of his room. Switching on the ceiling fan, he slumped on the bed to rest a bit before unpacking but that won’t be possible because,
“Felix! Get back here!” Edwin yelled from down the corridor as Daniel watched both of them speed run past his room. They were both shirtless with Edwin putting on a black jean trouser while Felix had a fading blue jean short.
Hitting a palm on his face, Daniel murmured, “I can’t believe I forgot they were already back. My peace and quiet days are over.”
After waiting a while to see if they would run past and scream, he decided to close his eyes and sleep. But as he was about to do that, Edwin yelled again,
“Felix! I swear if I catch you, I’ll kill you!”
This time, instead of running past, Felix ran into his room, quickly jumped on the bed and hid behind a now sitting Daniel.
“Oh my God! What is the meaning of this? Is it a crime to rest in your own house?” Daniel yelled, pulling away from Felix’s grip.
“Please Daniel don’t shout, Edwin might just…”
“Where is he?! Where is that idiot?!” Edwin roared as he stormed into the room panting heavily.
“Here he is,” Daniel said as he got up and pointed at Felix. “Please take him out.”
In a swift move, Felix got up the bed and hide behind Daniel. Using him as a human shield, he said, “Please, Daniel, save me. Eddy wants to kill me.”
“You better get out of my way, Daniel,” Edwin blurted out.
With a huge sigh while putting a hand on his forehead, Daniel said, “Alright hold on, Eddy what happened? Why all the commotion?”
“It’s this idiot called Felix. Do you know this idiot stole my cologne I forgot here, and not only did he steal it, he used it all and threw the bottle away thinking I would not find out.” Edwin blared out in anger.
“So all this noise for a stupid cologne?” Daniel deadpanned.
“Colognes are not stupid,” Edwin stated, rolling an eye.
“Is this true, Felix? Did you take his cologne?” Daniel asked looking over his shoulders where Felix hid.
“No it’s not true. I didn’t take anything,” Felix murmured.
“Daniel, can you please move away so I can deal with this boy?” Edwin blurted out. “If you don’t move away, I will move you away.”
“Okay! Calm down, Eddy. Did you search for it well?” Daniel asked in a calm tone.
“Of course I did,” Edwin yelled. “I searched for it but I didn’t find it and there’s only one person capable of stealing my stuffs.”
“Are you sure about that?” Clement asked, leaning by the door waving a Bottle.
“My cologne!” Edwin said as he ran and grabbed the cologne off his hand. “Where did you find it?”
“Under your bed. Where else?” Clement shrugged.
“That’s a lie! You stole it. It’s all clear now,” Edwin said widening his eyes while rubbing his chin. “You stole it but kept quiet, making me attack poor little Felix.”
“My feelings has been hurt,” Felix said in a shaky tone.
“Awwn…poor Felix. I almost killed you for the wrong reason. Clement, you have to apologize to Felix.”
Hitting his palm on his forehead, Clement said, “I’m surrounded by idiots.”
Felix laughs hard, “Clement just called you both idiots.”
“I meant you and Eddy, idiot.” Clement scoffed.
“Hey! Take that –”
“Okay! Okay! I just finished cleaning my room and I wanna rest so y’all should leave my room now,” Daniel said pushing both Edwin and Felix out of his room.
“Ooh, you just got here?” Clement asked.
“Yes, I just did. And I wanna get some sleep. So can you all leave my room,” Daniel said pointing to the door.
“Wait, before we go, Danny boy, did you get us something? Because we’re very hungry,” Edwin said in a weary tone.
“Yeah, the worms in my stomach are already feasting on my intestines,” Felix growled holding his stomach.
Smiling slyly, Daniel said, “Of course I did. Come closer let me tell you guys what it is.”
They both ignorantly walked towards Daniel, smiling wholeheartedly. Clement stood by the door, arms folded with a raised eyebrow wondering how stupid Edwin and Felix were to believe Daniel actually got them something.
As they got where Daniel stood, he ushered them to lean their heads forward so he can whisper it to their ears. Doing that, Daniel leaned forward and whispered, “I bought absolutely nothing for you guys.” He then yelled, “SO CAN YOU NOW LEAVE MY ROOM!”

“How was your holiday, Cleo?” Susan asked putting a dress in her wardrobe.
“It was okay,” Cleo stated. “We travelled to village to go see my grandparents and it was kinda fun.” She deadpanned. “What about you?”
”It was fine… as well,” Susan replied with a shy smile.
“Ooh… I know that smile so well. Tell me, what happened that’s making you smile like that?”
“Well,” Susan stated as she sat down on the bed adjacent to Cleo’s. “Kelvin and I are now a…you know,” Susan said smiling at Cleo, hoping she would get the hint.
“Wait, you guys are now dating?” Cleo asked, a surprised expression on her face.
Susan smiles and nods her head
“Wow! How? When?” Cleo asked.
“Well…” Susan stated but was interrupted by the sound of the door. Tania walked in, carrying a luggage.
“Hey girls,” Tania said, dropping her bag beside the bed Cleo sat.
“Hi Tania,” They chorused.
“How was your trip?” Susan asked as Tania slumped on the bed Cleo sat on.
“It was good just a heavy traffic that held me for more than an hour.” Tania whined.
Cleo was about to say something but Tania interrupted, “Ooh, hold that thought, Cleo. I have to let someone know I’m back,” She said, bringing out her smartphone and dialling a number.
“Let me guess, Mr. Secret lover that you don’t wanna reveal to us?” Cleo asked.
“Yep and don’t worry, it will be revealed in due time. And instead sticking your nose in mine, why don’t you go find yours?” Tania asked, putting the phone beside her ear.
“Thank you for your wonderful suggestion but I have a life to live. Boys are not my priority anytime soon,” Cleo said.
“Hello?” Tania stated as the receiver picked up the call. “I’m fine and you?… I just got back to school… Ooh, you are?… Sure, why not, this place is really boring… Okay, I’ll be there in 10 minutes… Bye!” She said dropping the call before taking her bag and heading to the door.
“You’re leaving?” Susan asked. “But you just got here.”
“Yeah,” Tania replied, “I’ll be back soon. And you girls shouldn’t miss me too much, okay?” She winked before slamming the door behind her.
“That girl is really odd,” Cleo said. “Alright, Susan, go on with the story.”
Susan smiles, “Okay, it was…” She was cut short by the sound of her ringing tone. Kelvin was calling. She hushed Cleo.
“Hi Kelvin,” Susan said, softly.
“Hey baby. How’re you doing?” He asked in a seductive tone.
“I’m fine and you?”
“I’m also fine but I would be better beside you.”
Susan chuckles, “Alright, I’ll come visit you.”
“Yeah, that’s the thing, I just called to let you know that I won’t be at home today. I’m going out.”
“Ooh… Okay, no problem.”
“But there is always a tomorrow.”
Susan chuckles, “Okay, tomorrow.”
“Alright, love. Bye!”
“Bye!” The call ends
“That was him, right?” Cleo asked.
“Yeah.” Susan replied.
“Hmm… Love birds.”
Susan smiles.
