“Linc has arrived” Bolu announced and almost everyone rushed down to meet him
“So how was the play?” Presh asked and they nodded
“I’ll tell you guys later, let me just drop Tasha in her room” Linc replied and began climbing the stairs, he met Tessa on his way
“You’re back” Tessa smiled and looked at Tasha then frowned
“Yeah” he replied
“I’m guessing you both enjoyed yourself” she flashed a painful smile and without waiting for his reply she rushed down the stairs
Linc confusedly carried Tasha to her room, he dropped her on the bed and looked at Brittany who’s powdering her face
“Your friend is here” he said
“Thanks, how to was the play?” She asked
“Interesting” he replied and went out
Brittany looked at Tasha and chuckled
“Sleepy head, you get to watch a romantic play with him” she pouted and pinched Tasha’s nose
*****
Living room**
Linc climbed down the stairs with a sigh and began going to the fridge
“So won’t you tell us how the play went?” Angel asked
“What’s there to talk about?” He sighed and took a bottle of soda
“Just please tell us, I heard it was the most romantic play is it true?” Olive asked
“Yes, yes it’s true now will you leave me” he sighed and moved to sit on the couch, Presh, Chi and Bolu came to sit beside him
“So how romantic was the play?” Chi asked and Linc couldn’t help but stare at him
“Did you just speak straight english?” Linc asked
“Yes, people change broken has bored me already” he replied
“I’m impressed” Linc smiled
“Not like I did it for you” Chi scoffed
“Really who then?”
“He did it for Brittany, she promised to go out on a date with him if he does” Bolu said
“Guy your mouth just they move anyhow, mtcheww” Chi hissed and went upstairs
“Me too I’m tired” Presh yawned and looked left and right for Olive, she has already gone to her room
Presh rubbed his eyes and climbed the stairs so as Bolu, Linc just gulped the last content of his soda before standing up and climbing the stairs
“Linc” Tessa called, Linc paused and turned to face her
“I need to talk to you” she said
“Whatever you wanna say you can say it tomorrow I’m tired” he muttered
“But it’s urgent,I want to say it now” she said, her eyes is a bit misty
“Fine I’m listening” he crossed his arms
“I love you” she said
Linc stared at her for a while before turning around and climbing the stairs
“Linc” Tessa rushed to him and grabbed his arms
“I just said I love you but you wanna leave like that!” She shouted in tears
“Well what do you want me to say then, you love me and you know what my answer would be so why do I need reply, do you wanna hear my answer!” He said hardly
“I know what your answer is I just wanted to tell you because I wanted to get it off my chest too, I want to tell you that I’ve liked you for so so long but you’ve never looked at me not even once” she said, allowing her tears to pour out
“So we are the same then, I’ve liked your friend Emma for so so long but she has never for once looked at me, so I’m gonna tell you the same thing she told me. I don’t love you” he replied
“I know, Emma would never love you either” Tessa said in tears before rushing upstairs to her room
Linc punched the wall in anger and sat down on the staircase
“Damn you life!, You’re so unfair” he muttered and let his tears roll down his cheeks freely
****
Tessa rushed to her room and burst out in tears, Emma just came out of the restroom and looked at her confusedly
“What’s wrong friend?” Emma asked, moving to Tessa who’s sitting on the bed and crying
“Emma” Tessa called in tears
“Yes baby what’s wrong?” Emma asked and Tessa hug-ged her tight still crying
“Calm down and tell me” Emma said softly
“I just told Linc what I felt about him and he told me he don’t love me” Tessa said in amidst tears
“Shhhh, you’ll be fine” Emma rubbed her back
“I don’t think so” Tessa replied and shook her head
“All humans must experience heartbreak so it’s nothing” Emma replied
“Really, have you ever fall for someone that don’t love you back?” Tessa asked
Emma bit her li-ps and shook her head negatively
“You see, you don’t understand what I’m feeling right now” Tessa said
Emma broke the hug and cupped her cheeks
“Maybe Linc isn’t the right person for you, maybe you’re destined to be with someone else, one rejection isn’t the end of the world I can’t believe Tessa is crying because of a guy” Emma mocked at that last part
“I can’t help it, it just hurt so much” Tessa muttered
“I understand and you’ll be fine” Emma rubbed her shoulders
“Thank you” Tessa smiled
“Welcome bestie” Emma smiled and lay down, Tessa made to climb her upper bunk bed but Emma pulled her back
“Please let’s sleep together” she pouted
“nau-ghty you” Tessa smiled and laid beside her, they both cuddle themselves to sleep.
***********
NEXT DAY***
The van brou-ght Robert back home, everyone all rushed to hug him as he came down of the van with Johnson
“Wow, I never knew people would miss me like this” he chuckled
“Are you fine now, your legs do they hurt?” Olive asked
“Even you too” Robert chuckled
“We miss you bro” Linc came to hug him
“Thanks men” Robert smiled
“Robert, even though we aren’t dating anymore I’m happy you’re alive” Brittany smiled
“Awwwn thanks ex” he smiled and everyone laughed
Then Tessa came forward
“I’m glad your back enemy” she smiled
“Awwn come here” he spread his arms wide and she came to hug him then the both of them drew their hair from behind
“Ouch!” They winced at the same time and everyone laughed again
“Baby steps” Robert smiled and Tessa nodded
“Let’s all go inside” Presh smiled, pulling him in along with the rest.
*****
Later that day**
Brittany is sitting on the couch and helping Tasha do a makeup, Olive has gone out with Angel, Emma and Tessa
Presh just went out with Linc and Robert to the gym, Romeo is in his room while Chi just rushed down the stairs
“Britt” he called, Brittany looked up from Tasha’s face at him
“So how about we go on our date tomorrow around 7pm, I have find us a good restaurant” he said
“Chi I haven’t even shop for clothes yet” Brittany frowned
“Don’t worry I’ll go and get you clothes. I know your size” he said and rushed out
“Hey…” Brittany paused and sighed while Tasha chuckled
“You shouldn’t have offered to go on a date with him” Tasha laughed
“I just wanted him to stop speaking that annoying english” Brittany grumbled
“Whatever can I see my face now?” Tasha asked and Brittany gave her the mirror
“I can’t believe you’re using my face to patronize your business” Tasha shook her head
“Don’t worry next time I’ll use Emma’s face” Brittany smiled and took a pic of Tasha
(Ding dong). The door bell rang
“I’ll get it” Bolu smiled, rushing down the stairs, Tasha and Brittany looked at themselves in confusion
Bolu opened the door and it revealed Kate, dressed in a face cap, t shirt and jeans, she’s holding a box of pizza
“Your order” she said
“Come in” he smiled, she rolled her eyes and entered
“Your order” she dropped the pizza on the table and stretched her hands out to him
“My tip”
“I won’t give you till you give me your number” he replied
“So this is what this is all about” she muttered and glared at him
“My tip or I’ll call the police” she frowned
“Don’t be to ha-rd na, I just want to be your friend” he sighed and brou-ght out his wallet
“Keep the change” he winked but she scoffed and went out
“That girl is too hard” he sighed and rubbed his forehead.

The boys are already present, they were all sitting at the dinning and eating with Tasha and Brittany
“Ah, who cooked?” Angel asked
“See them, Presh you better monitor this ya babe oo, where una go sef?” Chi asked
“We went to the mall” Tessa replied and eyed him
“Look at the time 7:30 and you’re just coming back” Bolu frowned
“What’s the vexing all about, at least you guys cooked” Emma shurgged going to keep the stuffs she bought in her room
Tessa also went to her room without sparing Linc a single glance while Linc sighed
Robert looked at Tessa and then at Linc, he noticed something kinda wrong
“Babe, look what I got you” Olive showed Presh a new pair of canvas
“Do you like it?” She asked
“Love it” he smiled and pecked her cheeks
“I’ll go drop these in my room, you guys shouldn’t finish the spaghetti, it looks delicious” Olive smiled and rushed upstairs
“Tasha so you fit cook, this thing sweet oo” Bolu smiled and lic-ked his li-ps while Tasha eyed him
..
Olive is arranging everything she bought in her wardrobe, Angel just finished arranging hers so she stepped out of the room
Once Olive was done she wanted to leave but her phone began ringing, it was an unknown number calling, she sighed and picked it
“Who are you!’ she asked
“Olive” the familiar voice called
“Laycon?” She said in confusion
“I just wanted to say hi and I wanted to hear your voice because I miss you” he said
“Listen Mr man,ion know where you got my number from but I’ll advise you never to call me again!” She snapped and hanged up then blocked the line
“Illiterate” she scoffed and went to join the rest
