Surprise everyone
I put in extra work to give an update shortly after the last one 🥹🙏
I'm proud of how far we've come and our little transparent family.
Thank you for sticking with Trip, Toke, Erling, Idara, Edmond, Aidan and all the students of Sheffield

AMANDA’S POV
(Amanda Aderinsola Akinde)
I slip into a casual, sunny day look that’s simple but still well put together. A soft white V-neck top, loose enough to feel comfy but just right to show off my waist a little. I pair it with a cute blue and yellow plaid skirt that stops right above my knees and has a small slit one side. I throw on a pair of baby blue high-top sneakers with white soles as well to complete the look
I think I’m ready
My hair is still in its push back bun from yesterday so I simply lay the edges to make it look neater before applying a generous amount of lipgloss to my already lined lips. Somebody knocks at my door
“Mummy said you’re going out, do you need me to drive you?” My brother says in a tone begging me to say no
“No need actually, I’ll just order a ride” I say plainly
I’d rather go by myself- my mum thinks I’m going over to see Nana
He nods and closes the door
“When is your school resuming?” I ask
“Next two weeks but I’ll wait till after your birthday”
I smile to myself- my birthday is coming up on the last week of this term. I don’t usually do anything but this year my mum was suggesting a little house party with my friends without the adults around. My typeeee. We sure wouldn’t do anything crazy because my mum would literally kill all of us if she finds out but it’s insane to think I get to be the centre of attention and a party host the same day. Screaming
“Bye mommm” I announce as I run down the stairs, my ride is here
My heartbeat starts to ring in my ears as we get closer to the destination. This is a terrible idea- why did I agree?
I consider telling the driver to keep going when we arrive at the gate but I have to suck it up and step down. Surprisingly the gate keeper recognises me and lets me in, informing me that my ‘friend’ is around.
That’s why I’m here genius
A tall, simple looking woman answers the door when I ring the doorbell. Although I’m grateful it isn’t their dad but facing this woman is equally scary
“I wasn’t told about any visitors today” she says calmly implying I state my business
“Yeah I’m Nan-Idara’s best friend” I say with a tight smile, hoping she pauses the scrutiny
“Ohh- Amanda?”
Relief floods me immediately- she knows about me, thank God
“Yes ma’am” I say with quick repeated nods
“she’s not at home though, only Tobe” she gives a questioning look, this time softer than it was initially
“He’s the one I’m here to see”
She offers a tight smile, letting out a sigh as she steps aside for me to come in
“I’ll get him” she says as she leaves to go up the stairs
