"You are here, " April says immediately after she gets into the room.

"I resumed before you all." Nancy jokes.

"Happy new year!" April smiles.

"Same, how was your holiday? I missed you!" Nancy says while she side hugs April who had a small smile on her face.

"I missed you more! It was annoying, all thanks to harmattan, it's that bad." April says while she turns to her dusty locker.

"This harmattan season is hard. Like, look what my soft lips have turned into!" Nancy complains.

"Nancy, don't drop anything there, it will get stained!" April says referring to the locker.

"Like, what are we paying for, we just got back from holidays, do they expect us to start with a clean-up? The whole dorm should have been cleaned up." Nancy complains.

"I think it was, if it wasn't, we would have met something worse than this!" April responds, obviously her eyes surveying the environment.

"I guess so!"

"Do you think, Science will come in today?" April asks with an inquisitive look on her face.

"Obviously, she never misses the first day of school resumption!" Nancy responds.

"Aurora, place that over there!" Wendy says directing her younger sister, who does as told.

"Is it okay?" Aurora asks.

"Wendy!" Darlintina calls out while she walks into the dorm dragging her box behind her.

"Hey!" Wendy smiles.

"You need to see the guy I met during the holidays!" Darlintina blabbers while she drops her traveling box on the bed. "Aurora!" She calls out quite surprised because she hadn't noticed her when she walked in.

"Good Afternoon!" Aurora greets politely. Meanwhile, Darlintina nods with a smile.

"Aurora put on the white gown," Wendy says.

"How did your dad manage to secure an admission for her, it's the second term and she is also in WAEC class," Darlintina asks.

"I just had to talk to uncle. It wasn't a big deal. I just hope she can cope, she is gradually turning into a loner, " Wendy says while she picks up her textbook.

"You should try to bring her out of that shell she is gradually getting into, getting back from school just to stay alone in that big house, could be so lonely," Darlintina says while she starts emptying her bags.

"I know," Wendy says, her eyes almost popping out when she makes eye contact with the person standing at the doorway.

"Room eight right?" Clara asks staring at Wendy.

"Yes!" Wendy responds, meanwhile Clara who seemed to have been called by someone, leaves her box close to the doorway and walks away.

"Another cousin!" Darlintina says now folding her clothes.

"I never knew, they were planning on her schooling her!" Wendy says with a puzzled look.

"What do you expect? She just got into Nigeria, her uncle has one of the biggest schools in the state. You don't expect her to attend just any school, " Darlintina says.

"Are you guys on good terms, because I sensed some hostility," Darlintina asks.

"We aren't enemies, but as you know, Two captains can't be in one ship, not to talk about three!" Wendy says obviously referring to herself, Ibinabor and Clara.
