The Friend-Zone

Episode 4

I turned around to see who was calling out my name.

It was a girl I was in love with in the past but the issue she had never made the relationship work out.

She had the genotype "AS". I was also AS. Her name is Sade. She was so much of a darling and I really cared for her. I lost touch with her when I moved off campus.

She was standing right in front of me. I gave a smile. We hugged & we had a conversation;

Sade: Opeyemi,how are you?. You just forgot me like that. I tried calling your number, it wasn't always going through.

Me: Honestly, you won't be offended. I sincerely apologize. I had issues with my network so I changed to a new number. You look good.

Sade: Awwwn. Thank you. You're such a darling. What are you doing here?

Me: I actually came with my friend for a friend's birthday party.

Sade: Oh!.. so you know Bukky?.
Me: Yeah, I think I'm about to... You know her?
Sade: She was my secondary school classmate

* My hands went cold..I didn't know what to say*.

Me: Ohhh..C..o.o.l.

Sade: Well, I came over to get something from her. Hope you've been served?.

Me: Yeah...I have..Thanks. .. we should have our numbers...(exchanges number) I should get going now. It's already getting late.

Sade: Yeah, you should. Make sure take care of yourself dear. Bye.

Me: Byee.

I got to my room that night tired. I was hungry. I had to eat the Pringles(dessert) I kept somewhere in case of emergencies. I slept off.

*******************

Sade: You must marry me by force.

Me: I can't, I'm in love with Bukola

Sade: I think your family members are ready to take you 6ft low.

Me: God forbid! .. I won't die. I can't marry you.

* Draws out a knife*

Me: Sade, please don't do this. I can't marry you.

Sade: You have to!..

* Moves closer, lifts her right hand up with a knife in it..*

Me: Nooooooooo!!!

****Wakes up*****

I was covered with sweat. It was a dream!. I was so scared and felt like praying.

I was about praying when I got a call. It was Sade.

This time around, I was so scared to my spine. I left it to ring thrice before picking the call.

Me: Hhheellooo.

Sade: Hey, Opeyemi. What's up.

Me: I'm good I guess... How about you?

Sade: I'm fine o. Yeah, i just called to say hello since it's been long I called you.

Me: Oh!... Thank you..

Do you mind if we talked later, I'm kinda busy now.

Sade: Okay then...Bye.

**I sighed.. it wasn't really a sigh of relief**.

I went to the kitchen to cook something and went out. 3hours later, Bukola called to thank me for honoring her invitation. I was glad she called and asked if she was going to be free next weekend to give her a treat.

She was glad I wanted to give her a treat..

I called one of my friends named Keji.

I knew him since I was in 100Level. He came over to where I was and we discussed.

Me: Guy, I had one terrible dream oh.

Keji: Chai, you and your yeye dream fa.

Me: Guy, this tin dey serious gan

Keji: Yan me, make I epp you.

****Narrates the dream***

Keji: (Laughs)... Joseph!!!... Dream stupid you sabi. Better forget, Sade na history na time make you write another Story.

Me: Well, I no put mind for am before.

Keji: May we go swim one of these days. E be like say your head don full.

Me: No shii na..(Laughs).

We had few bottles of beer to drink and we left. We were a little bit drunk I could tell.

Keji fell inside gutter times I can't count. We staggered and staggered until we got to a junction.

Some guys came out in black. They were with various weapons; sticks, axes, cutlasses, bottles.

My eyes cleared immediately while my friend was still acting funny.

A guy came at us and told us to drop whatever we had. They were Thieves not Night Guards!.

I knew we were in for trouble.

Keji started saying some funny words. Before I knew it, He was around on the ground. The guy slapped him. I was more scared than ever that I had to drop my shirt.

They let us alone and ran away. I thought that was all until someone hit my from behind and I went unconscious
