Sophia is seen in her room pacing the floor while chewing her nails. She is worried, worried and upset about one thing. Sophia stands in front of her mirror and stares at herself for some time.
SOPHIA : What's going on? Why isn't James picking my call? I haven't heard from him since on Monday. Or is he angry at me for telling him I had a boyfriend? But I broke up with Bayo now... oh! Boys and their drama.
Her phone starts ringing she smiles at her phone as she stares into the screen. Her child hood sweet heart was calling.SOPHIA: um..hey,James.
JAMES: (from her phone) Sophia,what is it please?
SOPHIA: ah ahn...James calm down, I'm the one calling now. It's not your mum or-
JAMES: SO-phia. Look, I'm fed up with you!
SOPHIA : I know, that's why I called. To...to apologize for taking out of point on Monday night.
JAMES: It's not about Monday night. It's about always!
SOPHIA: Al-Always? But how?
JAMES: First,I don't like the way you talk about guys. I'm a guy too. For all I care you are too tacky. You act like the whole world revolves around you. All you care about is your silly obsession with flexing.
Rubbish. ( He hangs up angrily).SOPHIA: What?....ah! Oh my God ( the shock almost makes her loose her guard. She's so shocked that she begins to feel dizzy hence, massaging her Temple and her forehead).
Hesitantly,she calls back.JAMES: (from her phone) Yes,Sophia what is it again?
SOPHIA: Sorry, hold on...hold on..just hold on please ( she pants) are ...are you saying,that you are breaking up with me?
JAMES : No Sophia-
SOPHIA: Better!
JAMES: I am not saying that I am breaking up with you. I. Am. Breaking. Up. With you! Bye forever!!(. He hangs up rudely for the last time).
SOPHIA: (Still in shock) No..no..no,He can't break up with me? For what? Like why? (She doesn't realize when tears start streaming down her cheeks) After everything I've done for you! James!
Suddenly,there's a knock on the door. She quickly cleans her face and acts like she wasn't crying.
SOPHIA : (Clears her throat) Um..who is there? Come in...( Her younger Sister walks in holding a pile of clothes and this changes her facial expression as she isn't happy to see her. she stares at her younger Sister-Juanita like she's a pest.)
JUANITA : Ah ahn..what are you looking at me like that? ( She asked confused).
SOPHIA: Shut up! What's wrong with you? Who give you the right to enter my room like that? Are you okay?
JUANITA: but..but..You just said come in.
SOPHIA: And so?
JUANITA: Sophia,Mummy said I should give you your clothes. You left them outside for too long. Here you go. ( She stretches out the pile of clothes to Sophia).
Sophia refuses to take them Hence Juanita threw them in the bed and in the process of doing so, some fell down.
SOPHIA: Ah! Juanita, You threw my clothes on the floor...you...you...My clothes, on the floor? Do you know how expensive they are? ( Sophia suddenly starts wailing and crying. It wouldn't take a wise man or a magician to tell that the only reason why she was reaction the way she is , is the news she got from James her ex-boyfriend or should I say,Her child hood sweet heart).
Their mum walks into the room because of the noise she's been hearing. She decided to come see what's happened for her self.
MUM : What's going on here?! I've been hearing your voices from downstairs. What is it? Sophia,why are you crying? ( She asked puzzled).
SOPHIA: Mummy..it's Juanita. She threw my clothes on the floor...if...if..if only you would have know what I went through for this clothes. Now it's gone... gone...he..it's ..just gone you there my clothes on the floor ah! ( She sits on the floor and wails like a child).
JUANITA: um.. mummy that's not true..I actually gave her the clothes but she refused to take it...how is that my fault?
MUM : Hold on. Sophia ,are you okay? Is something wrong? Did someone hurt you?
SOPHIA: Didn't you hear what I just said? Juanita threw my-
MUM : Enough of that please! Did you buy the clothes yourself? or did she throw them in the waste bin? You should be grateful to her for bringing them up here for you.
SOPHIA: Ah..ahn.. Mummy you too? I thought you would support me? I thought you loved me...I thought you cared about me...(She cries even more ) Nobody loves me,nobody wants me. They say I'm too tacky,I like to flex..I'm not caring I talk any how -
MUM : Did Juanita also say all these to you? I know there's something wrong and I'll find out sooner or later. Stop transferring your aggression on your younger Sister. You can talk to me I'm your mother! ( Her mother walks out of the room angrily pulling Juanita along with her.)
