The school session was coming to an end, I had last minutes assignments and projects, catching up with my friends and everything I had missed while waiting for love, love that was not going to happen anytime soon and I had grown to live with it.
I was beginning to notice my environment and adjust, live that life that an 18 year, privileged girl should or should I call myself a lady, now?.... I decided that I needed to also do something worth while during the holidays with the money I got sleeping in my bank account, sooner or later, I was bound to spend it anyways...
I was lying down on my bed, having laid my bed neatly, casually dressed in a tank top and blue shorts, trying to fix finishing touches to my assignment as my legs waved in the air in a slow motion, I laid on my stomach typing intensely on my laptop as I jotted notes occasionally to my notepad and in deep concentration when my phone rang, the beep of my iPhone 6s scared me and brought me back to the present.
"Shii, who's this again?" I murmured to myself as I rolled over to my phone, stretched as I got it, looking at the screen, my brother's face popped up, he looked shocked with a funny looking face, obviously I had caught him off guard making faces while the camera flashed at him, it was goofy yet worth the pay back as a caller ID for all the times he took 'not too cool' images of me, I sighed again, starring at the image as it rang with the words "Finn 😏" stared at me, the perfect emoji to how I always looked whenever he called but yes, I loved him still, had he left the house and was calling for something cause he dared not ring me from rooms away....
"Where are you now??" I swiftly said immediately I hit the receive button..
I heard my brother sigh and giggle "learn to greet Andy and am home mummy" obviously sounding sarcastic..
"Got airtime much that you rather call than come down to my room?" I pushed further enjoying the fact that he was getting tensed and irritated by my barging questions...
"Yes miss, I believe that's why we recharge, to place calls, besides, am tired right now, could you come to my room, I need your help" he said...
I rolled my eyes, looking at my laptop screen, "I am busy dear brother with my own assignments, I can't do yours now, what is this help bout??"
"Who said anything bout my assignments?" Finn shot back, I rolled off my bed as I wore my room flips, gently checked my laptop battery's percentage, FULLY CHARGED displayed on the screen as I unplugged my charger, kept the screen running and headed towards Finn's room still on the call...
"So what's it bout then if your assignment isn't one of it" I blurted back..
"Just come already, I'll definitely compensate for the help" he bribed as I banged on his door
"Should I walk through your door, the nerve of you to call me and still keep your door locked amazes me" I said while laughing as I heard him sigh in fake resignation, he was tired of me, definitely..
I heard the lock click as he pulled the door to himself, starring at me like he wanted to fling me through a window.
"And you still on a call, with me, dear sister, I don't have that much airtime to waste"
I simply laughed as I clicked the end call button while jumping on his big bed, his room was a bit bigger than mine, painted nude with chocolate colored splashes and designs around, it was a sight to behold, his laptop laid on the side reading table, with the printer switched on and papers placed half way inside, open and immediately, I knew why I was there.
"No bro, I am not bout to type your assignment for you right now, I have mine too you know". I said tired already
"Please just relax, chill, I don't need you typing, just give me the link to download reasonable thesis and that's all" he said rolling his eyes.
