Her POV

Chapter 2

  " Oh my God,  Nimi is that you? ", someone screamed right behind me ,
I turned around sharply only to be faced by one of my so called god-aunties , yh exactly I know what you're thinking , those aunties that clearly cant seem to mind their business and spend all their time judging young people, well you're not wrong.
" Oh, hey auntie" I said flashing her one of my "award-winning fake but looks real" smiles.
"Oh , my baby , you've grown so much over these years " she said emphasizing on the "much" and with that I understood what she meant,  truth be told I had gained weight over the last year but I wasnt "fat" ,why was everyone making it seem like I was obese or something . I ignored her comment and just smiled at her , and then Femi came to my aid
"Oh my ,  Aunt Claire is that you?" , Femi said , "Hello Femi , how are you doing  ? " aunt Claire asked .
" I'm good " Femi replied  , "well I guessed if you had monitored  your sister well she would be doing  as good as you are" , she remarked.
I was about to speak but then Femi beat me to it
"Well maybe if payed less attention to people and their life and focused more on yours ,you would have saved your marriage. " Femi replied with a smile plastered to her face although I could tell she was angry, before aunt Claire could reply Femi pulled my arm and dragged me away .
   We later stopped by a bench area in the park where the business meeting was taking place, we sat down in silence for about half a minute till both of us burst into laughter at the same time . " I love you" , I said to Femi , "Aww, I thought you said that sentence is disgusting, but don't worry I love you too "  Femi replied.
  "There's something I want to tell you", Femi started,  " What's that?"  I asked , "Mum said she changing your school "   she said , "Again!", I said
"Well, you know how she is and she felt you should have a change of environment ", Femi said , "a change of environment, Femi ,you and I both know that she just wants to attend any school she finds influential so she can boost up her popularity among her so called "friends ", I stated angrily, "hey , don't raise your voice at me , I'm not the one who's changing your school ", Femi said calmly.
   "Which of the schools is she shipping me off to", I asked , "I think its Prime Academy ", Femi answered. "Oh , I heard about it, the school filled with wealthy social snobs ", I said ," yh, that one,  but come on they cant be that bad " , Femi said with a small smile on her face .
   "Yh, I hope so " I said . "Let's go,  they are probably looking for us already ", Femi said standing up to leave , " Ok " I said as we left to go meet our parents.

    "Mum" , I said calmly as we were all seated in the car , I felt like it was the right time to ask her about my new school . " What do you want ? " She asked sharply , "uhm , Femi told me about you plans to change my school,  is it true ?"I asked , "Well, yes it's true , we'll be there on Thursday to get to enrolled and to take your admission tests ,so get ready" , She said . Now you see why I don't like this woman, why didn't she inform me earlier and now she's telling me to prepare for a school test on Thursday which is two days from now. "Ok ma", was all I could say, it'll be pointless trying to argue with her . We all stayed in silence until we got home , as the car got parked in the garage , I got out and went straight to my room , I wasn't ready to talk to anyone, I was exhausted and the issue of my school just made my mood a lot worse,  it's not like I have anything to lose from
changing schools,  I  mean I only had one friend from my present school , I hardly socialized and everyone just assumed I was a snob and never made any attempt to try to approach me, but that's not the problem here , what I dont get is why she didn't inform me earlier .
As I got to my room, I flung my bag to God knows where and laid on my bed , I was about to shut my eyes just then mama walked in and no she's not my grandmother I just like to call her that , she's our housekeeper well initially she was Femi's nanny but ever since them she's been living with us due to a reason I have no idea about.
"Hello princess " , she said , she loves to call me princess, she's the only one who calls me that actually.  "Hey mama, how are you? " I asked , "I'm fine but clearly you're not ,what's wrong?" She asked , "I'm changing schools ",I said ,then I proceeded to telling her everything and the reason I was angry and she just sat there listening to me , this woman was like a mother to me , she just happened to be there everytime I needed someone and she never for once complained that's  why I call her " mama " , she's just the mother I wish I had .
   "Don't worry,  everything will be fine , think of it as an opportunity,  I mean to start over,  meet new people  , who knows your future man might be in that school ", she said smiling  , and I just laughed ,this woman does have her way with words ."Just change your mindset,  it's not that bad , I promise " , she said as she hugged me . "Thanks mama", I said as I released my self from her tight bear hug , " goodnight princess," she said as she left my room", "goodnight mama", I replied  . After she left I took off my clothes,  had a quick shower and went straight back to bed.
