Depressed

Chapter 2

So i arrived Benin city, the Edo state capital,and my brother was already at the bus stop to pick me.
I ran like a thief that was being chased,towards my brother,the hug was long and people around were looking at us like we were some sort of couple.

What can i say, I miss my brother.

"Hey,little sister look how fat you have become, thirteen months was really good on you". Austin said opening the door for me,

"And you look a lot thinner", i said settling in the car.

The drive was a little long, we arrived at my brother's house,he stays alone outside campus. We got out, and Austin helped me with my luggage.

It was a two bedroom apartment, fully furnished. I was fascinated by the decoration and the setting of the house because i wasn't really expecting it. He showed me my room and it was comfortable and suitable i will not find a hard time settling in.

It was already past 7 and i was already hungry, we ate tea and bread with fried egg,because there was no provision in the house.

We talked about random things from his school,my school, our future and our parents.
"So,how's the new wife"?,I asked Austin, he hasn't said anything about her since i came, i was actually expecting to hear tons of stories about her,good or bad, you know the way these stepmothers act towards their stepchildren.

"She's good, a hardworking lady and making dad happy".Austin said.

"I actually meant how is she towards you"? "you know, her behavior,character and all that stuff".
I said asking him again, he seems he is trying to dodge the question.

"Oh,ok, she not bad,you know. she's nice to me, funny at times and a good cook,just like Mom".Austin said.

"How's school, how's your bestie, Charlotte"?

Austin asked me opening a bottle of coke and gulping it down his throat like he has being waiting for it a long time.

"Um...school's fine,my grades are not so bad,still toping my class and taking extra curricular activities".

I said ignoring,the bestie part.

"Yea,you should take those extra curricular activities,they help you know",Austin said checking his phone.

Dad just sent him a message asking him if i was ok, and that he should bring me tomorrow to his house for dinner.
He read the message aloud for me to hear, I was happy though, but i remember my mom telling me not to fall for my dad and his wife kind acts. She doesn't want my dad to win custody of me too leaving her with nothing.

I resided to my room after the long talk with my brother and my dad's message.​

*am i ready to face the new wife, be her friend And possibly her stepdaughter,the tiny voice in my head spoke.I don't know right not, all i know is that my body wants some sleep right now*
