Ana's POV
Recognizing the two people behind my scream, I calm, my heart still pounding as I take in deep breathes. "You scared me!"
"We noticed," Oluchi responds, tilting her head at an angle as she is clothed in a short loose thigh-length dress.
"How did you get in?" I ask, still aiming to call my rationale to order.
"Did you forget we live with you in this perimeter?" Joe raises a question, knotting the strings of his red and yellow mosaic shorts and staring at me as if I'm a dumbass.
"Plus the fact that the backdoor might be open and we being not only your neighbors but closest friends have full access to use it?" Oluchi interrogates, scoffing at my reaction.
"Still, that doesn't give you the right to scare me into a ghost!" I clamor, surprised at their nonchalant responses.
"But you are still alive," she shrugs, dismissing my exclaim.
"Also, we didn't mean to scare you," Joe notifies, we only caught you off guard that's all.
"Yeah, why wouldn't you, when I just got a news that has left me astounded and my reasoning faculty not functioning as it should," I confess, walking to them.
"About that.." Oluchi trails, "did we hear correctly?"
"I'm referring to what Ike said before he left," she clarifies as I seize the opportunity to seat on the armrest of the adjacent chair.
"I'm trying to confirm that myself," I assert, gawking at them in confusion. "It seems surreal, and somehow I don't want to believe it yet."
"This is what we've been waiting for so I'm perplexed at your response," Oluchi declares, coming to my position.
"She doesn't want to get disappointed in case he is bluffing," Joe speaks, ruffling the arms of his long-sleeved red shirt.
"He said something about checking the news right?" Oluchi recalls in a query.
"Yeah," I verify, nodding. "Wait, you heard?"
"Every word since you got into the house," Oluchi ascertains much to my horror that I can't stop my mouth from falling open in shock. "Don't be alarmed, you know how crazy I am."
"How?" I request.
"Do you have to ask?" Joe issues shaking his head and trudging to the entrance door, "let me put on the power generator so we can confirm the news as he clearly suggested."
"Yes dear please do," Oluchi beams, love dancing in her eyes such that it gladens and at the same time pierces my heart thus the feeling that I can't have something like that returns.
"To your question, we were camping in the kitchen," she responds, striding to the couch while I slide myself down the armrest into a sitting position a moment before the light comes on as Joe turns on the generator.
Snatching the remote, she switches on the television and swerves to me while the decoder loads. "If it's a joke, don't take it to heart, okay?"
"I know," I give a reassuring smile. "We move regardless."
"That's the spirit girl!" Joe chants as he strolls in and changes the channel hence it finishes loading the instant he strides in.
"They aren't broadcasting any news yet," Oluchi observes thus the station is busy displaying some commercials instead of the usual recent happenings.
"Maybe we should switch to another news channel," I suggest and she obliges, picking the control from where Joe dropped it after use.
"The same thing is going on," she conveys as the exact thing occurs on the new channel.
