Meeting with the President's Son

Chapter Four

Jade

"Mary!" My eyes flew open in the middle of the night as my buttocks was gifted with a deadly and sound slap. I was breathing heavily trying to come down. I had a the most terrible, and scary dream. I walked in to a party full of different people, but suddenly, I turned to my side to see a pool covered with humans blood as many were drowning calling for help. As I was about to look away, I saw a hand lifted up, crying out to be saved. I was about jumping into the pool when I came back to life. It was a bad one, and I hated bad dreams. I finally turned to my cousin, Pearl who had the audacity to slap me that way.

"Don't give me that look. You were shouting Jesus, Jesus, in your sleep," she immediately said before I could speak, but that was not enough to stop me.

"But seriously, is it your Jesus? Last time I remember, you never like going church. So what is your problem?" I gave her a look and she returned the same look, very angry this time. She never liked to hear the name Jesus, not to talk of going to church because she once broke down, and said Jesus has failed her several times. I drag her to church on sundays because that is where Christians should be on that faithful day.

"Mary warn yourself!" She shouted at me using my middle name. I had instructed her several times I prefer to be called Jade and not Mary, but she would always call me that to piss me off. And now, I couldn't say if she was actually pissing me off with it because she called me no other name except from Mary. But the moment she got very angry at me, she called me by Jade.

She just rolled her eyes and turned to sleep.

"So you think you can sleep now that you've woken me up?" I asked her as she was trying to lie down back on the bed. She didn't even ask what the dream was all about. She faked a cough. "Is it your sleep? How does that concern you miss?" I knew what she just did there. She just repeated what I said earlier, mimicking me.

"You're not okay!"

"And you think you are okay?" She raised her hand in the air, though still not turning to my side. I caught the hand and bit it. "Jade!" She finally screamed my name, disturbing the peace of the house. She jumped up and I ran out of the bed grinning at what I just did. I planned to have fun with our silly fight before letting her be.

A silly girl.

She was always looking for my trouble.

"See what you just did?" She could not hide her anger. I stressed my eye balls out, smirking at her, showing her I couldn't sleep because of her. "You too see. If I don't sleep back, you too won't sleep. Never in your life, don't wake me up from my sleep again." I did my mouth like she used to, tilting it up to mimick her.

She laughed a little. "Mad Jade! You want to inject your madness in my body shey? I conquer you by fire!" She abused my mother with her hand, and I immediately did my own back. "Idiot, what is fire!"

She turned back to sleep. "Where did you put Google?"

I laughed at her. "Pearl, it has fade. Come and collect form and let me teach you new words," I said to annoy her.

Pearl eyed, and hissed at me. "Pot calling kettle black. You should start preparing to collect GCE form as well." She turned around to see my reaction. She knew it would make me feel bad, and she still said it.

"Bag of rice!" I spat angrily. I knew she hated it as well because she was fat, and I intentionally said it for her to feel what I felt.
