The scorpion fiasco didn't just end there, the school authorities were notified on what happened and proper actions were taken, which was the general clean up, sanitation and fumigation of the whole school.

It came just in time when the school will be receiving visitors for the school events and the graduation ceremony, which the whole student body is looking forward to.

The exams had finally come to end and everyone relaxed. There was ongoing preparations for the upcoming graduation and every hand was on deck to make it a memorable one.

Same thing with Teni, although stung by a scorpion, she didn't allow it to affect her as she was hellbent on enjoying her week.

"So the plans for the dinner nite is all set, just a few touch ups here and there then we are good to go" Adeola spoke up even though her face was buried deep in her tablet.

I nodded running my hand through my hair before staring at my bandaged wrist, I shuddered whenever I recall the event of that day.,

"Are you okay?" Tomi asked, looking at me. She must have noticed my reaction.

"Yeah... Why did you ask?" She stared at me for a while from where she was. She lay on her bed also listening to Adeola talk about the plans made for the dinner.

"You should have seen Shubbie when he heard you were hurt, it was like he had lost it. His heels almost touched the back of his head while running " I rolled my eyes at her exaggeration.

"Oh come of it" I said grabbing my laptop as I pulled it closer opening it "is there any color code?"

"Where were you when I was giving instructions last Friday morning?" Adeola asked looking and sounding perplexed.

"I was there.. I was there, right? " I avoided her glaring eyes turning to look at Tomi for help but it seems she was enjoying my suffering.

Uh!  Traitor!

"The colour is burgundy... Ladies, burgundy dress, guys burgundy tie or bow tie on black suit... You hear"

"Copy that ma'am" I gave her a mock salute before going ahead to order my dress.

I have had a long conversation with my mum on the type of dress I wanted but it seems she is not keying in into my idea so I decided to take matters into my own hands. She can sort out my cultural dress and graduation outfit if she so wishes but am in charge of what I will wearing to the dinner.

I had to keep the scorpion incident away from her knowing how dramatic she can be, my dad knows about it though since the principal called him and he was so upset. I had to beg him not to say a word about what happened to mum.

"Who is your date to the dinner?" Tomi asked her and she blushed, i smirked already knowing where this was going.

"Femi.. " she muttered.

We both awed which made her throw two throw pillows at us.

"You are blushing" she scowled at me trying to hide her burning cheeks.

"Stop it" she warned us.

"When did this happen?" I ask.

"I don't know.. it was just sudden. We working together on the dinner plans when he asked me out. I was dumbstruck that I went mute for a minute "

"That must have been so great!" Tomi said.

"Yeah... But Femi only see me as a friend and we are going as one" she shrugged casually. "What of you?" She asked me.

"I don't know really, Shubbie of cos!"

"What if he doesn't want to go?"

"I will go with someone else. " I stated the fact.
She snickered as Tomi shook her head.
