Esse was really excited about writing Joseph's story, but she decided to tell the guys first. Knowing the girls might still be hanging hangovers or sleeping, she decided to sleep before messaging them, since herself spent her night talking to Joseph.

Immediately she woke up, she quickly picked up her phone from her nightstand out of joy and quickly messaged the group chat.

You
Hey guys, guess what!

Amara
What?

You
I want the full house. Y'all say ‘hi’

Amara
You'll have to wait then.

Realizing she truly had to wait, Esse dropped her phone on her nightstand as she fell on her bed with her back with a sigh. It didn't take up to a minute before her phone started buzzing. She smiled to herself as she knew the amebo was on, and the girls were online. She quickly picked her phone back up and went straight to their group chat. The girls had already dropped their hi(s), making Esse smile. Her girls would never disappoint her.

Ebun
Hi

Amara
Hi
Oya nah, babe come out nah.

Ebun
We're here oh, gist!!!

You
I'm here oh.

Amara
Oya nah

You
What of Toyo?

Ebun
You know they aren't using the same curriculum as we do. Unlike us, her school resumed today. So, she's prolly still in school now, or on her way back from school.

Amara
True true

You
Oh…
I'll get down to the main deal then

Ebun
Get to the point.😒

Amara
Ifkr

You
Argh.
You guys

Ebun
Talk mehn

You
Aiit.
S

o, I've finally found the story u want to write in Wattpad guys.

Amara
Really? What's it about? Tell us!🤗

Ebun.
Yh, tell us. 😅

You
It's about a young cultist who was dragged into cultism at a very tender age. And how he survived.
Well, it's basically a story to parents who don't have time for their children. It's a message to them.
And also a warning against bad peers.
It has a lot to teach tho.

Ebun
Wow! That sounds good.
I'm so gonna love it. 😌

Amara
What inspired it?🌝

Ebun
The question should be who inspired it?💁🏾

You
😂😂😂
Must you make it so obvious?

Ebun
Yes, duh. 💁🏾

You
Ah! 😂
Well as you know.
It's Joseph.
And yes Amara, I've forgiven him.

Amara
Ya mad oh, how can you say you forgave him?

Ebun
She has her reasons, let her nah.

You
It's not as serious as you're taking it, Amara. Joseph went through a tough childhood, you have to understand that. And pressure pushed him into cultism. He didn't want to join, but his parents weren't available for him. He did all those stuff, due to pressure.

Amara
Save that sermon for whosoever, not me. I mean, we all have choices to make. Even if his parents didn't have time for him or whatever, that didn't render him foolish and thoughtless. He should know the right thing.

Ebun
He was in Jss1 for Christ sake, what do you expect a young boy to do. And the pressure was much on them all. You can't blame them for that.

You
We all have our flaws and wrong moments, no one is perfect. I mean, Joseph is close to perfection, except for that flaw he had. And maybe his abusive behavior, but still Joseph is still the old nice Joseph we know. Please don't judge him.
I mean, he cried in front of me, begging for my forgiveness. And he told me to apologize to you all for him. He said he didn't know what he was doing.
And Ebun and Ella, he said I should specially beg you. That he wouldn't have touched you guys, but it was a stupid tradition they had to face. That he is so sorry.

Ebun
I've forgiven him oh, but I don't know when I'll forget. And I hope Ella do so.
Ella? Are you reading?

You
Yes, she's reading. But I don't know why she's not chatting.
Ella. Ella oh... answer peson nah.

Ebun
We should prolly leave her be. It's not like it's something easy.

You
Ifkr

Amara
Still a silly decision.

You
Chill

Amara
Believe me, I am.

You
You ehn.

Esse smiled to herself, as she dropped her phone down as she stood up from her bed and headed to her study to get busy with her story idea.

She couldn't help but feel glad that she had taken some writing lessons. She didn't waste a second to wake her sleeping system as she quickly got down to business.

She titled the book EVAN.
