Welcome to my mid-week update. I declare this part OPENNNN

Amanda's POV
(Amanda Aderinsola Akinde)


"Buy what is on the list and nothing else, if I see any 'highlighters because they were just too cute' or an eraser that costs over one thousand naira because it's shaped like an ice cream, you will pay me back every extra dime you hear me?" My mum gives her final warning in the shopping mall car park

"Okay mum but that was ONE time" I gesture with my long index finger

"And don't spend the whole day there because you will walk home" she says sternly

"Okay ma" I exit the car and close the door lightly

My eyes trail along the shelf of toiletries as I look for the usual deodorant spray my mum and I buy when I notice a bubble gum bathing gel calling my name

'add me to your cart Aderin'

It echoes and who am I to ignore the pleas of a shower gel in the midst of soaps and deodorants, begging to be set free?
I add it to my cart

I take a glance at my list and check out the items already in my cart as I wheel my little bundle of joy to the next row. Sausages, salad cream, sardines, butter, spaghetti, kebabs...

"Hey" a voice calls from behind me

I turn around almost completely in the direction of the sound to find Espn staring back at me with her usual smile spread over her lips

"Hey" I reply as I duck my head slightly to acknowledge her since my both hands are occupied

She pulls out what appears to be Air pods pro out of her ears from beneath her hoodie

"It IS you!" She exclaims as she wheels her cart closer to me

"You shop here too?" I say awkwardly to keep up with the conversation

"Duh! Who doesn't?" She rolls her eyes playfully "Denny and her brother are here too, seems like everyone's shopping today"

She giggles, causing me to offer her a smile
Almost immediately I sight Denaya and her Fraternal twin walking from the second aisle to the aisle we are on

"Hello guysss" Denaya says cheerfully pulling Espn and I into a bro hug 

"Hi Denny" Espn and I say simultaneously

Denola on the other hand smiles at Espn then throws a awkward wave/salute my way

"The entire school is here Omo, I even saw Amaka" Denaya states

Oh God

"Trip where are you going after here? Maybe all of us should hangout" the boyish girl says with a grin

They turn their gazes towards me, waiting for an answer

"Actually no um- I have an appointment today" I let out

I do have an appointment, with my bed

"Appointment for what?" Denny quirks an eyebrow
