Dating Life

Chapter Six

"Okay ma" We chorused.

"Omo this test go be oo". I haven't started reading her course and we've already covered a lot this semester" Sharon grumbled as she flipped through her notes realizing how much we've covered for the semester.

"Babe, start from somewhere you'll catch up. Her course isn't that hard" Rachel assured her smiling and tapping her shoulder.

"Yeah I guess so" She answered lazily

"Jane, I'm coming over again to your place this weekend oo." Rachel said

"Oh yeah me too" Sharon added.

"Ehn ehn so you guys know how to read now abi. Rachel, I forced you last week to come over to study, and Sharon, I thought you said you weren't interested and my life revolved so much around my books" I replied air quoting the precise word she said to me the other day.

"But we meant well now" Rachel added.

"Hm, whatever. Well, I'm not sure I'll be around on Saturday. I replied biting my nails and ignoring whatever facial expressions they were making at the time.

"Aunty where are you going to oo," Sharon asked with her face already judging the hell out of me

"Somewhere" I replied taking a glance at her

"See who has started keeping secrets away from her friends" Rachel joined in.

"She's lying Rachel. Jane you don't even like going out, so I don't believe you"

"Guys, I'm serious o"

"Then tell us" Sharon solicited

Rachel nodded

"Okay fine, I'll tell you. So there's this boy", I paused looking at the facial expressions of my friends which got me more nervous. "You see, this is why I didn't want to tell you guys" I said.

"We didn't say anything now" Rachel defended

"Hmm hm" Sharon added

"But your expressions are saying it all already"

"We are just surprised, that's it," Rachel said convincing me

"Yea, Just tell us already we are dying to know" Sharon pleaded.

"Okay okay fine, I'll tell you for real. As I was saying, there is this guy in the engineering department who is in his final year, his name is Alex, and we've been texting each other for a while now. We met at the cafeteria sometime last year, and he collected my Twitter handle and texted me back then. I didn't respond to his message until last week and we've been texting back and forth. He wants us to meet this weekend in person but I haven't given him a response yet."

"So what made you pick up your phone to reply to him after ignoring him for almost a year now," Sharon asked curiously

" I don't know, I probably just felt like and, you two are also on my neck to get a boyfriend"

"So, do you like this guy enough to want to be in a relationship with him?" Rachel asked

"I don't know if I like him that much yet but I guess he's a cool person and we've had good conversations since we started talking"

" Aww, my baby is all grown, you are making me a proud mom" Sharon teased.

"Go away Joor" I replied shyly fondling my fingers. "Don't worry I'll just cancel on him so we can spend the weekend together, studying"

"No no no you can't do that" Rachel shook her head in disapproval

"Exactly! You can't cancel on him. I just said you were making me a proud mom, don't let me take that back girl"

"I'm nervous and I don't even have any interesting outfit to wear for a date"

"That's easy, we can figure out something, or I can even borrow you an outfit to put on" Sharon suggested

"No, you know I don't like to borrow clothes"

"Okay fine, but we can find something interesting in your closet"

"Yeah, I agree with Rachel. Let's come over to your place before Saturday. Oh wait, Jane, I remember giving you this nice slit skirt as a present on your last birthday. I haven't seen you on it yet. Maybe we can work with that"

"Sharon to be honest with you, that skirt is kind of slutty, and I'm not trying to look desperate for any guy's attention".

" Whatever, we are coming over to help you prepare for your first date ever"

"I hear you" I replied lazily rolling my eyes...
