To rhyme, words must have the same ending sound from the last stressed vowel onwards. 'Pitch' /pɪtʃ/ ends with the short /ɪ/ vowel followed by the /tʃ/ consonant. 'Witch' /wɪtʃ/ follows this exact same phonetic pattern, making it a perfect rhyme. 'Bleach' /bliːtʃ/ is incorrect because it uses a long /iː/ vowel.

In the novel, after the girls encounter Habib and Labaran, Salma is wary of Habib's advances. To avoid his calls without being outright rude, she gives him Tomiwa's phone number instead of her own. Consequently, when Habib tries to contact the girl he gave a ride to, he ends up calling Tomiwa's phone.

The novel highlights the diverse backgrounds of the roommates in Queen Amina Hall to show national unity. Salma is from the North (Lafayette/Zaria area), while Tomiwa is from the West (specifically Ibadan, Oyo State). This ethnic and regional mix is a central theme in their dormitory life.
