"I asked what you're doing on my bed this late at night" Jenny asked now feeling her fears of Kate creeping in on her, with her eyes misted up with emotion. "Oh Jenny, your stare and questions just makes me feel like am the bad guy. You started this little battle Jenny, and as you know, you may start little battles but I wage wars" Kate said, bringing the muzzle of the gun she carried with her to her nose as she sniffed the acrid smell of metal.
"I warned you didn't I?, I told you to keep your eyes open if you were going to have what is mine. I see you took my words lightly and that is a very very big mistake you did there". Kate reminded daringly while hovering the room and settling on the bed as Jane slept, with a rictus grin on both cheeks, Kate stroke Jane's hair and for a while she lightly massaged her scalp to gently call Jane to reality.
As Jane slightly open her eyes wondering who it could be at that hour she shrieked at the sight of Kate. "Oh my God, kate what the fuck are you doing here?" Jane asked. " ssshhhhhhhhh" kate hushed Jane, placing her index finger vertically on Jane's lips.
" you wouldn't want your neighbors running in here wondering what the ruckus is, would you?".
"I asked what you're doing on my bed this late at night" Jenny asked now feeling her fears of Kate creeping in on her, with her eyes mist up with emotion. "Oh Jenny, your stare and questions just makes me feel like am the bad guy. You started this little battle Jenny, and as you know, you may start little battles but I wage wars" Kate said, bringing the muzzle of the gun she carried with her to her nose as she sniffed the acrid smell of metal.
"What?" Jenny asked shocked and vulnerable to the reality of her friend actually being psychotic at that moment. " you know how much I love metals right? Guess what else smells and tastes like metal?" Kate asked Jenny.
"Blood?" Jenny said questioningly also taken aback. " oh my God yes, you know me so well and distinguishably smart, no wonder James choose you." Kate said giving out a hollow laughter.
Jenny suddenly coming to her senses, "hold up Kate, are you putting on this show over James?" Kate just stared at her without saying anything. However, it was too obvious what all the show was about.
Jenny and Kate weren't exactly your typical kind of best friends or friends to say, more like once acquainted and to an extent. Their meeting was one of the beneficiary kind, short term roommates in college. Kate and Jenny's paths crossed twice, first briefly at a JAMB preparatory academy, exchanging only pleasantries before going their separate ways. Fate brought them together again in college, where they found themselves freshers in search of accommodation.

Little did she know, her decision to leave Jenny would set off a chain of events that would challenge her perceptions, test her resolve, and lead her down a path of self-discovery and unexpected romance.
