🎧 ANGELOU 🎧
I walked out of my room and bu-mped into Kelanie who was hurrying to God knows where. She muttered an apology and continued walking then I noticed a paper that fell from her.
I picked it up and re-ad then chuckled.
Someone likes her.
I folded the paper and shoved it into my p@n-ts pocket.
LATER 🕕🕠
“Did you see any paper lying around” Kelanie asked as she searched for the paper
“Or that you carelessly lost” I said without any concern
“I think I dropped it somewhere but I don’t remember where”
“What does it look like?”
She sighed “It’s a paper Angelou”
“I didn’t see”
She bent down and started searching un-der the chairs while I faced the television and ate my pop corn.
“I remember now” she shouted and got up
“What again?”
“I think it fell when I bu-mped into you”
I shrugged “Dunno” and continued with my pop corn
“C’mon Angelou didn’t you see a paper on the floor when I bu-mped into you?”
“I did see a paper but how sure are you it’s yours?”
“It’s obviously mine. Who else lives here?”
“Me” I replied
“Then is it yours?”
“No”
“That makes it mine”
“I don’t think so” I argued “It’s a paper without a name”
“It’s mine give it back”
“You wouldn’t tell me what it looks like and am sure the paper I picked isn’t yours”
“Let me see it?”
I got up and proceeded to leave “forget it Kalnonia, it’s not yours”
LATER IN THE NIGHT 🌃
I sat on a sofa while Kelanie sat on a separate one. We’ve been avoiding each other after the morning incident and she isn’t talking to me. I prepared breakfast and ate alone. She cooked her own breakfast but couldn’t eat it.
Such a bad cook.
I ate snacks for lunch and so did she. I cooked dinner and ate alone though I kept hers but she doesn’t want to eat it and she hasn’t cooked hers.
📺 You can’t do this Leo
📺 Am sorry Nina but it’s the law
📺 Leo is it because of Ziala?
Leo brou-ght out a knife and stabbe-d Nina in her heart.
Kelanie g@sped and hut her eyes as Nina slumped to the floor and spat out blood
📺 Well done Leo
📺 Ziala
📺 You did well but the law nee-ds your blood
Ziala brou-ght out a dagger and stabbe-d Leo
📺 Ziala
📺 It’s the curse
Nina bur-st into a evil laughter and turned into a witch.
Kelanie cu-mddled herself up in fear and shut her eyes as Ziala took Leo and Nina’s soul
📺 The curse
Kelanie screamed and jumped out of her seat.
“What’s wrong?” I asked running to her but she continued jumping and screaming. I realized it was the movie and turned it off then she
bec@m£ quiet.
“You’re scared” I chuckled
“No” she shook her hand “I got stung by a…” she trailed off
“Your f!ngersare crossed”
She separated her f!ngersand cleared her throat “Turn on the television”
“Sure” I picked up the remote and turned on the television.
Ziala was destroying the city with her evil power.
Kelanie sat down and faced the television.
Ziala turned into a forearm creature and put one of her hands into the che-st of a child and brou-ght out his heart.
“eww” Kelanie looked away and unconsciously cu-mddled herself up again
I increa-sed the volume and she started screaming as Ziala was cutting people into p@rts and eating them.
“St©p shouting it’s late”
“I hate horror turn it off” she shouted then I turned off the television
“Go get yourself some courage” I said and walked to my room to continue the movie peacefully.
🎻 KELANIE 🎻
I turned off the light and crawled un-der the covers. My heart was beating fast and i was really scared. I kept hearing footsteps like Nina was coming to eat me.
I got up with a start and I was sweating profusely. I turned on the light and sat up on my be-d, gazing around.
I heared footsteps again and whirled around but I saw no one.
IT’S THE CURSE
I heard Nina’s voice and screamed then ran out of my room. I ran to Angelou’s door and knocked repeatedly then he opened it.
He was t©pless with a sweat p@n-t and it was obvious I woke him from his sleep caused he had bags un-der his eyes.
“What do you want Kalonia?” he asked and I just stared at him not knowing what to say.
I couldn’t tell him I was scared, he would just laugh at me.
“you’re scared” he re-ad the expression on my face and chuckled
“am not scared”
“good for you” he walked inside and shut the door at my face
I sat on the floor and rest my head on his door. I wasn’t going to return to my room, Nina might appear and eat me up.
I started dozing off then lost balance and fell on the floor.
Ouch!
I ru-bbe-d my temple with my palm then got up in pain. It was past mid night and the sound from the night was really creepy.
I placed my head on the door again and tried to sleep then the lights went out and I jumped up and screamed.
A hand gr!pp£dme and I tried running but it drew me into a corner and the lights went on. I was in Angelou’s room. Pinned to the wall and he was staring down at me with my two hands pinned to the wall.
He scoffed and pushed me aside then walked to the be-d.
“The couch or the floor. Make your choice” he said then threw a blanket at me and I caught it
“Thank you” I mouthed inaudible and stood rooted to the floor. I didn’t know which to choose.
The floor or the couch.
I sighed and spre-ad the blanket on the floor. Angelou isn’t a gentleman, he should’ve asked me to sleep on the be-d while he sle-pt on the floor or couch.
I la-id on the blanket and shut my eyes but I wasn’t slee-ping.
Seconds turned to minutes, but minutes wasn’t turning to hours. The night was slow and cold.
I felt something warm cover me then opened my eyes to see Angelou cover me with a be-dspre-ad.
“Thanks” I said to myself then dozed off.
THE NEXT MORNING ⛅
I woke up to the smell of fried chicken. My stomach was grumbling, I didn’t eat the previous night. I sleepily got up and started sniffing my way to where the smell was coming from with my eyes shut.
“Ouch!” I gro-an ed as my head hit the wall then I opened my eyes. I was in the kitchen and Angelou was stir-frying chickens.
My mouth got watery at the sight of the well fried chickens that were in the plate.
“Good morning” I greeted but he didn’t reply nor act like I was there
“Good morning” I repeated and he still ignored me.
Am only doing this cause am hungry and I can’t cook
“Angelou”
He finally turned to look at me
“Can I help?”
“Do you want to learn?”
I nodded
“Where’s your pay?” he opened his palm
“What pay?”
“You don’t learn for free you know”
“How much do you want?”
“Keep your money, you’re going to teach me something in return”
“what’s that?”
“I’ll tell you when we’re done”
I stared at him with uncertainty before saying “sure”
“Now take an apron”
LATER 🕒 🕒
“Now what do you want to learn?” I asked Angelou that afternoon after practice
“Nothing”
“Huh?”
“Nothing” he repeated
“Okay can I ask you a question?”
“Let’s pl@ya game instead” he suggested
“What game?”
“It’s called 30 seconds ask”
“You fodged that” I laughed at the name
“Perhaps but let’s pl@yit”
“What’s the rule”
“You got 30 seconds to ask me whatever you want and at the end of the 30 seconds, I’ll answer all the questions you asked, vice versa”
“Interesting I’ll go first”
“Okay” he adjusted on his chair and faced me
“Why you staring at me that way?”
“30 seconds is gone” he said raising a timer that I never knew he had with him
“What do you mean? I haven’t even started”
“But you just asked a question”
“It’s not p@rt of the game”
“I don’t care I’ll answer it” he began “I was staring at you so I can re-ad your expression to ask you a question”
“That’s not an answer” I said
“it’s my turn” he stated and handed me the timer
“Can you set it?”
“30 seconds is gone” I giggled
“What do you mean? Am not even re-ady”
“Don’t care, you asked a question and I’ll answer it” I started “Yes I can set it”
“Your time starts now” he said and the timer started counting
“Who’s Lisa?
Why are you such a book warm?
Who taught you how to cook?
Where…”
“Time up” he snapped “Did you even think before asking? You were too fast. Where do I start answering from?”
“Anywhere” I chuckled with a shrug
“Your first question, Lisa is my sister
two, I just love re-ading
three, Lisa taught me how to cook”
“Why do I feel like you’re lying?” I asked doubtfully
“Cause you mind is lying to you” he blurted out then handed me the timer
“My turn
Can you cook?
Do you feel bad about Glamour Diva?
Would you do anything to compete? And if you would what…”
“Time up” I snapped
“That was too quic-k, 30 seconds isn’t over”
“I didn’t cheat” I stated but I cheated and I did that cause my time was too short and am sure he also cheated “Now answer”
“I can’t
words can’t describe how I feel about not competing for Glamour Diva. I feel like am gonna die…” I was getting emotional and I felt tears welling up in my eyes
“Are you crying?” Angelou asked and I shook my head then the tears c@m£ rolling down
“Don’t cry” he cooed and pu-ll-ed me into a hvg “I know how it feels but you haven’t finished the question”
I looked up to him and my tears changed to anger. Am crying and he cares about the stupid game
“You want me to continue answering?”
“If you want to?”
“I don’t want to”
“It’s okay by me but why can’t you cook?”
“I grew up without a mum”
“dead?”
“Alive but as good as dead”
“And you dad?”
“same”
“No auntie, or sister, or…”
“Just a nanny” I cut in
“why didn’t she teach you how to cook?”
“I was never interested”
“And now are you interested?”
I chuckled “Maybe”
He got up and said “I’ll be in my room”
“cause there’s no libr@ry”
“Yea”
“Are you allergic to staying with people?”
He smiled for the first time since I knew him, he smiled”Did you just smile?”
“Did I?”
“Did you?”
“Did I?”
“Yes you did”
“I don’t think so” he said and hurried away.
