Kelvin

Stephanie
(Smiles and they both hug)

Ogechi
(Coughs) you guys should go and do your love in a private place

Stephanie
Oh shut up(they all laughed)

Kelvin
(Glances at Destiny) Hi, my name's Kelvin (smiles)

Destiny
(Returns the smile) my name's Destiny

Stephanie
Oh my, I'm sorry I didn't introduce you guys

Princess
Why won't you forget, when u were busy with your lover boy (they all laughed)

Stephanie
(Turns to Destiny)Don't mind them, they are all jealous

Destiny
(Smiles and continues eating)

Kelvin
(Turns to Darien) bro, what up? You have been quiet. It's not like you to be quiet

Ogechi
Apparently, he's having issues with Princess (Princess sends her death glares while she chuckles)

Princess
Don't mind her Kelvin. I and Darien aren't having issues

Darien
Babe, please...(got interrupted by Princess)

Princess
So, why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself, like for example, the school the attended, what country you are from?(the question was directed to Destiny)

Destiny
Ummm...the school I attended, well(drops her spoon on her tray) I attended Saint Jude and I'm from Nigeria(she lies)

Ogechi
Oh my Goddddd(she was wearing a very big smile) I love Saint Jude. That school is good, when I was in junior secondary, I attended S-TEE. The school was close to yours.

Destiny
(Smiles nervously) ye...yes. "why did you lie?"(she asks herself)

Ogechi
I'm sure u know I'm a Nigerian, you know, from my name (her smile broadened from ear to ear)

Destiny
Yes

Darien
That's nice, we have two Nigerians (everyone smiled)
