EPISODE 7
Samantha
#bye if you have nothing better to say he yelled into the phone and hung up on her
geez!
his he so ill mannered and h0t tempered?
well, I nee-d no one to tell me that, considering the way he had spoke to me the day I had shove him unto the floor with my bicycle
he picked up his dog and walked into his room
I got closer to our door and knocked on it and grandma opened up
“good afternoon grandma!” I greeted rushing into the sitting room
I slumped into a sofa and tried pu-lling off my shiny black shoe whose colour had changed to white cause of the dust on the road
my eyes caught sight of a glas-s of water, placed on one of our stools
I quic-kly reached for it and gulped it down before placing it back on the stool
grandma sat beside me after bolting the door and turned to me on discovering the water she had kept on the stool had suddenly disappeared
“Samantha what happened to the glas-s of water I kept here?” she asked pointing at the stool
“but the glas-s cu-p is there on the stool, don’t let me believe you’ve gone blind” I tea-sed but she let out a frown
“don’t pretend like you don’t know what am talking about Samantha!
the glas-s cu-p is empty!
what happened to the water I wanna use in taking my pills?” she asked and I gulp in tiredly
“am sorry grandma I was tired and thirsty” I replied and grandma held the glas-s cu-p up to my face like she wanna aim it at me
“grandma!!” I called hysterically
“now get your as-s off that couch and go fill up this glas-s with water” she ordered and I took the glas-s from her and hurriedly fill it up, I handed it back to her and scamper into my room with my backpack, and there was Molly slee-ping on her be-d
it’s kinda surprising cause Molly ha-rd ly observe afternoon nap
I took my bath,sl!pinto a simple shi-t and short before going back to the sitting room
“grandma am famished” I called holding my alre-ady grumbling stomach
“you missed lunch alre-ady!” grandma said and I felt my stomach gr0@nlouder
“grandma!!” I called but she kept mute
“c-mon grandma it’s not my fault
I got detained at school school today for good three hours”I said and grandma stood up from the couch
“I couldn’t make lunch today cause i was tired and Molly had a running stomach
make do with the leftover from breakfast” she said and I smiled
“thanks grandma!
but did you just said Molly had a running stomach?” I asked walking into the kitchen to get the leftover breakfast which is turning out to be my lunch
“yeah I just did
and can you st©p acting like you’ve suddenly gone deaf”she said and I chuckled
“I was kinda surprise seeing her taking a nap
everyone knows she hate afternoon naps” I said placing the food on the centre table cause we had no dinette
I shove my cutlery into the meal and spoon some into my mouth
“it was so serious that she had to visit the hospital for treatment” grandma said and I almost choke
“what!
grandma!!
don’t tell me me you spent the little savings for our fees on her” I asked my mouth agape
$h!t!
if that happens, I will have to drop out from school and I never planned to be a grade 5 high school drop out
“nope I didn’t
that cute boy next door actually paid for her” she said and I choke on my meal
geez!
why did grandma had to inform him of our poor state?
that j£rk of a boy will mock me!!
how am I gonna look at him in the face, knowing he actually paid an hospital bill for my sister
geez!
“grandma you shouldn’t have told him about it, you should have use the savings instead” I said alre-ady losing my appetite and a ha-rd glare from grandma made me pick up my cutlery and dug into the meal again
“well I was on my way home when I saw him carrying molly into a cab
seems she pas-sed out or something so I had to join them in the cab”grandma said and I gulped down some water
“that’s thoughtful of him”I said and grandma nodded
“yeah!
he’s actually a good boy”grandma said and I furrow my brows at her
“what makes you think he’s a good boy?
taking molly to the hospital and paying the bills isn’t enough to call him that”I said and grandma frowned
“I really likes his personality and what he did is worth more than being a good boy” grandma said and I kept shut
“i was really grateful and you ought to be Samantha
he unknowingly prevented you from being a drop out and you clearly knows what it means if I had spent the savings for Molly’s treatment” grandma said and I kept mute
“I expect you to tell him a hvge thank you when you see him cause I told him one” she said and I tittered
“you don’t expect me to go knock on his door and just blurt out a thank you” I said shoving the table away cause I was done eating
“that’s not a big deal, I invited him for dinner and he accepted
so you can tell him how grateful you are when he comes” grandma said going towards her room
what!
is grandma being serious?
she’s inviting him to come eat our poorly cooked dinner?
“grandma tell me your joking?” I asked with wi-de eyes
“am going to my room for a nap Samantha
make sure you prepare dinner
drop mine in my room and serve him when he comes and plea-se, plea-se ,plea-se and plea-se do not wake me up, you know how much i hate it” grandma said avoiding my question and In a flash, she walked into her room and shut the door
I sat on the sofa like a statue, trying to take in what she just said
it sounds crazy to me!!
he’s coming for dinner and grandma wants me to prepare it
she knows how much I sulk in cooking
what am I gonna prepare?
all the cooking ingredients we have are local qualities
what if he fall sick after eating it?
gosh!
he looks like a rich kid!!!!
my eyes landed on the wall clock 5:56, I g@sp running into the kitchen to start ma-king dinner
Episode 8
Molly
I stood up from my be-d feeling damn hungry, luckily for me, the ban-ging headache and running stomach had subside
all thanks to my new friend ‘br@in’
I strolled into the kitchen only to see Samantha on the kitchen apron
“woah
seems someone is cooking”I cracked leaning on the kitchen door
“will you come In and give me am helping hand!” Samantha said more like an order
“am sick remember!
you won’t want me to slump in your hands” I said and she rolled her eyes at me
she looked weary and worked on
“if you think your still feeling sick then get the hell outta here”she said and I g@sp on seeing the delicacies she had prepared
“Samantha!!” I yelled and she pop up her head at me
“what is it?”she asked looking surprised
“you prepared all this?” I asked gesturing at the meals on the kitchen counter
“yeah I did!
it took me a whole lot of time to prepare them all” she replied taking her gaze back to the pan she had on the cooker
“they are damn too much!!
hope you didn’t exhaust the food stocks Samantha?
for goodness sake, this meals will last us for three days” I said and she furrowed her brows at me
“don’t tell m you aren’t aware grandma invited our new neighbor next door for dinner!” she said and it nudge at me
“yeah!
br@in actually took me to the hospital today! and guess what?
he paid the bills!!” I said clasping my hands together and she gave me an eye roll
“grandma actually told me all that so st©p being a Tuttle tale and go set up the lamp it’s getting late alre-ady” she said and I squeak happily, rushing into the sitting room
I got hold of the lamps and turn it on before placing one in the sitting room
one in our room and the other in grandma’s room before hurrying back into the kitchen
“yeah take!” she said handing me a covered plate
“take this to grandma’s room” she said and handed me my dinner
“I will go eat up in my room” I said and walked out of the kitchen
Samantha
molly left with her food and that of grandma while I pu-ll-ed the kitchen apron,slumping on the nearest sofa
gosh!
can’t believed I prepared three different dinner for some proud j£rk
what if he didn’t show up?
worst still he refuse to eat the meal?
I walked into the kitchen, pick up a chopstick and began tasting the foods again
they aren’t bad right?
I made use of so many ingredients!
I won’t mind shoving the food into his dress if he dares reject them
it took me two whole hours to prepare them
I walked back into the sitting room and my eyes landed on the wall clock
what the hell!!
8:03, and he isn’t here?
perhaps he forgot grandma had invited him for dinner
or should I go knock up on his door?
geez!
am famished!!
it will be uncultured for me to eat my meals before he comes
it’s dinner and he isn’t suppose to eat up alone, since he was invited
I pu-ll-ed the kitchen cap off my head,pacing to and fro more out of hunger
why do grandma had to invite him huh?
I heard a knock on the door and I scamper towards it to unbolt it and there he was!
with his cute dog
br@in
“hi” I greeted immediately the door flung open revea-ling her
“hello” she replied motioning for me to come in
“mind me coming with him?” I gestured at Kelvin and she nodded negatively
“thanks” I muttered walking Into their sitting room
well, it really not looking bad though it’s poorly furnished
“your granny actually…” I was saying when she interpolated
“I know” she replied with an eye roll
woah!
is she being angry with me about the bicycle stuff?
but I apologized alre-ady?
she doesn’t seems to like me but I like her
she’s the only friend I can find here who’s reasonable and responsible
she walked into the kitchen and I placed Kelvin on my feet
I eye searched for her younger sister but couldn’t find her
she’s more friendly than her sister
she walked out minutes later with different bowls and jars of water, then placed it on he centre table
“here’s yours” she said shoving a bowl and a cutlery gently towards me while she held hers as she sat in opposite me with the table between us
I picked up the cutlery and spoon the sauce shoving it into my mouth
“woah!” I exclaimed in relish and she pop her head up at me
“you like it?” she asked forcing out a smile
“yeah! it’s Delicious” I replied and her mood changed
she looked some what happy
“where’s molly and grandma aren’t they gonna join us?I asked and she gulped in her meal
“they’ve eaten theirs and have gone to be-d.
one more thing inhere, we don’t talk while eating” she said and I nodded and continued eating while Kelvin fell asleep on my foot
she packed the dishes when we were done and sat on another sofa staring into her phone
woah!
she looks snobbish
“hey!” I called and she pop up her head at me
“you don’t seems to talk too much” I said and she let out a smile
“don’t know what to say about that” she replied taking her eyes back to her phone
“aren’t you gonna observe your normal evening practice today?” I asked and she rolled her eyes
“it’s left for me to decide”she replied
she’s acting weird
one minute she’s smiling
another minute she’s wearing a frown are all girls like that?
well I don’t think so cause her younger sister is quite friendly unlike her who doesn’t seems to like me
“so what school do you attend?” I asked trying to start up a conversation
“check the badge when next you see me on my school uniform”she said rudely
woah!
didn’t see that coming
“okay! so what grade are you?” I asked and she frowned
“ask my teachers when you see them” she said
woah!
she’s bad mouthed
“shut the door on your way out” she said and walked into what seems like her room
