I stared at the teacher in front of the class, reading something out from the textbook in his hand. It was the last class we had for the day and i couldn't wait for it to end.

"Can this man just go already" Someone muttered behind me.

I guess i wasn't the only one that was tired of the class. Just then, the bell rang, signalling the end of the class. Letting out a deep sigh of exhaustion, i leaned back into my seat.

"Thank God" I muttered.

I heard Ruby giggle beside me.

"Good day, Students." The teacher said as he left the class.

A few students murmured in reply.

"Finally! I can't wait to go home."I said, packing my notes from the table. I unzipped my purple schoolbag and threw them in, then tossed my pen inside before zipping it up.

"I thought you were going to Kingsley's place."Ruby said as she closed her laptop.

"Oh God!.... I forgot."I said, face palming myself. "Should i just cancel?" I thought aloud.

"Your decision." Ruby replied with a shrug. She looked lost in thought as she diddled on her notebook.

I thought for a while before deciding to cancel the visit. We could reschedule it for another day.

"Lemme text him"I said picking my phone from the table.

"What about our sleepover?"

"We can have it when i'm back na." I replied without looking up from my phone.

"Did i hear sleepover?" Nancy said, more like squealed, eyes glistening in excitement as she turned to face us.

"Yep. Ruby and I are having a sleepover tomorrow."I said, this time, raising my head.

"It's at your place, right? Can i join you?"

Just as i expected, Ruby stopped what she was doing and turned to us abruptly.

"No, you can't. It's a 'bestie only' sleepover." Ruby countered, annoyance written all over her face.

"Don't be a buzzkill. It's going to be boring with just the two of you. The more, the merrier yunno? Jas, please say yes" Nancy said, her eyes twitching in plea.

"Jas? " Ruby said with a tone of disgust.

"Short for Jasmine, duh!"

"Well, it's dumb. Jas, Ew" Ruby said, scrunching up her face to show how disgusted she was. I covered my mouth with my hand to prevent myself from laughing. She shot me a glare that said 'Just try and laugh'.

"And your opinion doesn't matter. I can call her whatever i like."

As much as i didn't want to stop their bickering because it was fun to watch, i just had to.

"Guys! It's okay. Yes, Nancy, you can come for the sleepover." I nodded in approval, getting ready for Ruby to protest against it.

"What? No way!"

"Yes way."

"Really, Jasmine? Really?" Ruby said, gaping at me quizzically.

"Yes, Ruby. Yes."I replied, rolling my eyes as i looked away from her.
