A friend to remember

50: The flight Bully.

****
Denise felt stupid and wicked. There was still guilt, sitting in another designer store with her sister and Vivanne, spending so much money that she couldn't cotemputralize.

She wondered how it would sound if she asked her parents for millions, Daniella and Vivanne did and they got away with it, there was nothing wrong with her doing it too.

"Are you sure you are alright, Denise?" Inigo, Vivanne's personal shopper question.

Denise nodded and put on a fake smile she had practiced for the cameras. She was taught this by her parent's PR manager. Nobody should know your business.

Inigo was an older white woman, she was sweet and always showed them the latest things to buy. She thought they were going to spend 100 million nairas on the trip, just showing alone cost them triple the amount.

They could always spare her ten million naira. But she didn't know how that would sound to Cynthia. Cynthia didn't tell her so she could put the burden on herself but she somewhat felt obligated.

A twenty million naira jacket, a five million naira stud earrings, a rare leather Kelly purse, a Hermes that was just produced, a Bulgari necklace that only the top one percent can afford, dinner at a five-star restaurant, they were spending money like it was water.

Daniella was different from her former self, she wasn't hostile to her anymore and helped her in shopping for the things she thought were her 'personal style'. Denise wanted to laugh, her personal style was anything she found in the Okirika section in Isale-Eko, Idumota, or Balogun.

She went from shopping with a 10-20k naira budget to showing with an 80 thousand dollars budget. She feared her parents would be mad at them, Daniella just causally mentioned Paris and out the door they were. Daniella handed her an international passport that her name on it. She didn't even know the passport existed.

They were going to meet Vivanne at the airport, she was coming with a couple of other girls from school. Daniella didn't say much throughout the trip, she took photos and snaps, and she asked her a few times if her airport outfit was okay.

When they got to the airport, a separate entrance was given, she thought they were going to be the hustle of trying to get past airport security. Their bags were carried for them, they got into another golf car that carried them to a plane that SHEILA A in cursive boldly written on the side. It was black and gold, their mother's favorite color.

Vivanne was standing there waiting for the twins, Denise noticed a few girls from their class, in similar causal outfits. Some of them were in wigs, and others had their braids packed.

In total six girls went on the trip through Arabowale's airplane. It shocked Denise so much but that was not the only thing that shocked her. When she finally climbed onto the plane, it was like a totally different arena.

Plush chairs, staff walking around. Unlike normal planes she had seen in TV shows or movies, this one's chairs were facing each other, they looked clean and new. Daniella walked forward into the plane and she just followed, looking around so lost by the beauty.

"I am live-streaming everything right now! People need to see how pretty this plane is." Temi cooed from behind her.

Vivanne rolled her eyes as if that was the most boring thing to do. Temi was in art class, a tall pretty girl, she couldn't belong that she was hanging out with the richest elite girls, her cousin Blessing was in science class and begged to fly with them.

Vivanne initially canceled and they tried to convince her to come, but she refused. They accepted their fates as their parents didn't have a private jet they could fly on, they would settle for first class to Paris, a shame amongst their classmates.
