Picture of Dieko above☝️☝️
Dieko
"Wow" I mutter to myself as I run my hands over the short black sequin off-the-shoulder dress
"You like it?" Nmesoma creeps up behind me
"Yeah, I guess" I shrug
"Buy it naw"
"Noo" I laugh hanging the dress back on the rack
"Why?"
"It's 5k abeg, me I don't have that kind of money for one gown"
"I understand" She giggles
"Guys, see this dress" Bridget holds a blue and white striped shirt dress with rose appliques against her body
"It's fine o" Feyi appears from nowhere examining the dress
"I swear, and it's cheap, just 1500"
"Say God" My eyes widen
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
"Abeg show us where you saw the dress" Nmeso begs
Bridget points at a rack a few feet away from us "Sha hurry, it's just remaining three"
The three of us run there and grab one each
"Yes!" Feyi exclaims laughing "Let me go and try it on"
"Wow, where did you guys see the dress?" Yemisi asks
Where did she come from?, More importantly, where has she been since?, Not like I care sha, that one is not my business
"It was just here o, it has sha finished, there were only three left" Nmeso replies her eyes running up and down the dress
"D, let's go and try them on, it must fit us" Feyi takes my hand in hers and pulls me towards the direction of the changing room
I swear I see Yemisi give me an evil glare before I turn around and follow Feyi

"Today was fun sha" Feyi yawns as we get down from Lanre's car which just stopped at the front of Feyi's house gate
Nmesoma and Yemisi live near each other so they had boarded a tricycle back home
Lanre came with Timi in a car so they had offered to drop Bridget, Feyi and I at home
They had already dropped Bridget off, so it was just left with Feyi and I, I was staying over at Feyi's house so they just dropped us here
"Is your house close by?" Lanre asks me
"Yeah, just down the street"
"Cool, we can come by sometime"
"Come to where?, My grandma will just chase you people out" I laugh
"Sha goodnight, I'm tired abeg" Feyi yawns "D, meet me inside"
She enters the compound
"Bro, make we dey go" Lanre enters the car
I turn to enter the compound too, the sky is already dark and Feyi's mum would start asking questions
"Diekolola"
I turn abruptly wondering why he would be calling me by my full name
"It's Dieko" I state
"Here" He ignores my earlier statement
He hands me a shopping bag I didn't even notice him holding
"Oh I should give Feyi?"
"No" He shakes his head "It's for you"
