You tell me..................(1)

Growing up, I was an avid novel reader and I always hated it when novels didn’t end the way I
wanted them to. So today, I’m gonna give y’all the chance to decide how this story ends.
Buckle up people, we’re going IN!!!!!

In a house somewhere in Surulere Lagos, four friends sat down to enjoy each other’s company.
It had been a while since they had all seen themselves. You see, they attended the same
secondary school and hadn’t seen each other since graduation. Uche was now working in an
advertising agency. Bimbo was working in a bank. Felix was unemployed but had just finished
his masters in business administration and was searching for a job. Mina was into the
entertainment industry. She was a public relations personnel. To be Uche, go to 1. To be
Bimbo, go to 2. To be Felix, go to 3 and to be Mina, go to 4.


1.
The sound from the television was quite loud but no one seemed to mind. They all seemed to
be enjoying the music. Soundcity was on point that evening. It had been ages since he had
seen all of them and he couldn’t stop staring at everyone. Mina had blossomed into a beautiful
woman. He couldn’t believe it. She had been such a tomboy in high school. Felix was still his
short self and Bimbo seemed to be louder than ever if that was even possible. He figured it was
probably ‘cause the tv was so loud but with her you never knew. He just realized everyone was
staring at him. Apparently Bimbo had been asking him a question. “pardon??”. What are you
doing now?? She repeated. “ o I work with an advertising agency”. What do you do there??
Felix asked. “I’m responsible for bringing in new clients. I’m kinda like the advertiser of our
advertising company lol”. That’s so cool Bimbo said. I’m stuck in my boring bank job *sigh*. He
wondered if Mina never spoke but just then, her phone rang. She immediately answered it and
excused herself. (go to 8)

The sound from the television was quite loud but no one seemed to mind. They all seemed to
be enjoying the music. Soundcity was on point that evening. It had been ages since she had
seen all of them and she couldn’t stop talking. The tv wasn’t really helping so she had to raise
her voice. She’d tried reducing the volume earlier but Mina wanted them to see the video of
one of the artists she was representing not like she really cared. Nigerian music wasn’t really
her thing. Felix was still his cute short self but she was more interested in Uche. “what are
you doing now??” she asked. He wasn’t listening. He kept staring at Mina’s boobs. The bitch. “
what are u doing now??” she screamed. He seemed startled. “pardon??”. What are you doing
now?? She repeated. “ o I work with an advertising agency”. What do you do there?? Felix
asked. “I’m responsible for bringing in new clients. I’m kinda like the advertiser of our
advertising company lol”. “That’s so cool” she thought and said. “I’m stuck in my boring bank
job “*sigh*. Just then, Mina’s phone rang. She immediately answered it and excused herself.(go

The sound from the television was quite loud but no one seemed to mind. They all seemed to
be enjoying the music. Soundcity was on point that evening. It had been ages since he had
seen all of them and he was just taking it in. Everyone except Bimbo seemed to have changed.
Mina kept drawing his attention and he noticed Uche was as distracted as he was. Bimbo was
talking and she suddenly shouted. That brought him right out of his thoughts. Apparently she
was asking Uche what he was doing at the moment. “ o I work with an advertising agency” he
said. He was immediately interested. He had been looking for a job since he got back from the
states. Apparently even with his masters degree, the job market was a brutal place. He had
gone for so many interviews he felt he was cursed. Maybe Uche could help. “What do you do
there??” he asked . “I’m responsible for bringing in new clients. I’m kinda like the advertiser of
our advertising company lol” Uche replied. Bimbo said something about it being cool and her
job but he was too preoccupied with his own thoughts. He didn’t even hear Mina’s phone ring.
He just saw her get up with the phone to her ear. She looked worried.(go to 5)

The sound from the television was quite loud but no one seemed to mind. They all seemed to
be enjoying the music. Soundcity was on point that evening. It had been ages since she had
seen all of them but that was the furthest thing from her mind. With her job in PR, she was
always working. At that moment, she was having a conversation on her blackberry with one of
the soundcity people. Her artist’s video which was supposed to have premiered thirty minutes
ago had still not been shown. “FUCK!!” her Mtn blackberry service had started pms(ing) again.
Her messages weren’t delivering. She was aware the other people were talking and she caught
something about an advertising company and a bank but she was too worried to be bothered.
She hoped there was no problem. She noticed the men kept staring at her and she just smiled.
She was used to that already. Bimbo on the other hand kept giving her Malicious glances but
she had no idea what that was about. She made a mental note to ask as soon as she was alone
with her. Her phone rang. It was the soundcity guy. She hoped whatever was wrong could be
fixed easily(she believed every problem had a solution). She excused herself and went to a
private place to answer the call.(go to 6)
