EPISODE SEVEN:EQUIPMENTS

ASHLEY'S POV.

Good morning, mom," I said, concentrating on my phone.

"No phones at the table," Mom said.

I reluctantly dropped my phone.

"What's for breakfast?" I asked one of the many maids in the house.

She served my food on my plate, and I ate.

"I'm off to school," I said, getting my backpack.

"By the way, we are going camping this Tuesday," I said.

"When are you coming back?" she asked.

"Friday," I said.

Trust my mom to never care about me.

All she ever does is think about her arms (weapon) making company.

She never asks how school is.

We don't even have that mother-daughter relationship.

I'm so fed up already.

I got into my BMW, and the driver drove off.

HADIZAH'S POV.

I was finished with my chores after two long hours.

"Mummy, I see that you are not busy today.

How has work been treating you?" I asked.

"It's been good. Have you forgotten that today is Sunday?" she said.

"Oh, it skipped my mind," I said. "How is your new school?" she asked.

"My new school? It's filled with drama kings and queens, rich kids, spoiled brats.

When I say spoiled brats, I mean they are spoiled to the core.

But some of them are actually nice.

I made three friends already," I said. "Really? That's a huge improvement.

You hardly make friends," she said.

"Yes, it's a plus for me as well," I said.

Then my mom received a phone call from work, I guess. So much for "have you forgotten it's a Sunday?" They should just let her rest, abeg (A Nigerian slang word for I beg).

"Mummy, before I forget, we are going camping this Tuesday, and then we will arrive back on Friday," I said.

"That means I need to get you camping equipment.

Looks like we have only today and tomorrow," she said.

"Don't worry. Ava said she will help with it," I said.

"Okay then, I have work tomorrow. By the way, who is Ava?" she asked.

Trust my mom to always want to know the details.

"She is one of the friends I just made, and she is also the closest to me," I said.

"Okay, just be careful of the friends you make," she said, and she went upstairs to her room.

I'm so bored. I played my Nintendo Switch till I got tired.

How I wish I had a phone.

At least I would be able to speak with Ava.

AVA'S POV.

I'm in my huge room watching my favorite TV show.

I eventually got bored, and I went to sit on my balcony.
