THE NEW GIRL(LISA)

7.WEEKEND.

                       ~•LISA'S POV•~

           Today is Saturday and I haven't heard anything from Sean pertaining to our rehearsal.
   
     Daddy has not gotten back from his journey and I wonder what  it was all about.
  
      Mum has been the only one at home with me and trust me when I say it has been like a bonding time for the two of us.
            
          I have finished my house chores and honestly I am feeling really bored staying at home all day.
         
          I was playing sub way surfers on my phone, this is a game I have really fallen in love with because to me it is like my life, because just like the game I run away from everything that is after me and until I find a way to make it back off I will keep on running.
          
         I was still busy with the game when a message popped up on my phone. It seems Abby knows the right time to do some things and at this particular time I need someone that will keep me away from being bored.

PHONE CONVERSATION

ABBY:.   Hi

ME:      What's up?

ABBY:    I am fine, I am wondering if you are free,but what are you up to?  I am feeling kinda bored and lonely and I think you won't mind to come over.

Me:        Okay let me ask my mum, I will get back to you.

          I asked my Mum if it was save for me to go to Abby's house. Unlike other teenagers of my age I don't like "the going out thing". I prefer to stay at home,eat,read,watch the television and sleep. Although it is partly because I don't want to get into trouble but I also have a different personality.
        
            My mum easily agreed with me going for the outing without questions and I called Abby to pick me up. She arrived exactly 3 o'clock and we made it to her place thirty minutes later.
          
             I was astonished when we arrived at her house, I didn't know before that very moment that places like that still existed in this part of Nigeria because the house can be referred to as heaven on earth.

           The house was an excellent master piece,there were maids tending to the various parts of the house. I followed her inside and my jaw dropped the place was extremely beautiful. I was drawn out of my day dream when she started talking. She might have said something before but I just heard her,

      "Welcome to my humble shelter." She said bowing her head in a comic way.

        "It's really nice." I replied still looking around. The place I live in is nothing compared to this. We are not extremely poor but moving around like missionaries has really affected us.

       "What of your parents?"

      "Mum is at home but dad has travelled."

       A woman who I presume to be her mother due to the resemblance ascended the the stairs.

    "You must be Lisa." she said pulling me into a tight hug.

             "Yes I am."
          
          I said enveloping myself in her embrace. She is really one of the kind, hugging me as if we have known each other for ages.

      
      "Abby has told me a lot about you, the girl who stood against our Sean, well you have done a good job dear."
         
        She said walking to somewhere I guess to be the dining room. Abby pulled me along and we walked to the table.
