COLD (a nigerian story)

✔28

School had come to an end. We had written our exams. It was summer apparently and today, I decided to meet up with Yimika. I wasn't able to ask her about Daniel because of some reasons but I was going to. I slipped on a plain black top and dungarees along with a pair of Adidas shoes.

I packed my hair into a slick buns and did my edges. I didn't bother with make up, I just added some clear lip gloss to my lips and walked out of my room. "Mom! I'm going!" I screamed.

Even though screaming wasn't allowed. "Why are you now screaming. You'll wash toilet today" she groaned. I giggled and opened the main door "Love you too!" I screamed running out.

I opened the door to the car and jumped in. "Hi" I greeted the driver. He nodded in return and started the car. "Yimi.."

"I know" he snapped. I turned to look at him raising a brow and watched as he sighed. "My wife no get pikin. We try, try, try. E be like say children no like am."

No wonder.

"I'm so sorry. We can pray?" I suggested. He nodded and smiled. As he drove. I prayed with him and he thanked me. Within a span of 24 minutes we were there. I came down from the car, thanked him and walked to her gate.

I knocked on the gate and the gate man opened for me "Ah! Small Madam!" He greeted. I smiled at him and walked in. He followed me "Anything for the boys?" He asked.

"Usman not now" I groaned. I walked into the house. Yimika's house isn't what I'd call magnificent or a mansion. It was pretty modest and comfortable. Enough for a family of five when there was just her and her parents.  They said the remaining two bedrooms were for me and any other person that came visiting while the guestroom was occupied.

I quickly climbed the stairs and turned to my right   there was the second sitting room. I turned left and opened her door.

"Hey girl" I said plopping down on her bed. She was reading a book on her study table facing the window. "what?" She snapped.

Did I mention that ever since the camping ended, she was always snapping at me or something.

"We need to talk" I said in the same tone she used on me. When she ignored me, I continued. "We need to talk about Daniel" and that got her attention. she paused and turned around, eyeing me. "Why are we talking about him and why would I talk about him with you?" She spat.

I paused. What was that supposed to mean?

"B-Because we're best friends right?" I said cautiously. "Yeah right. I made a mistake calling you my best friend in SS1 didn't I?"  She hissed.

Okay... What's going on?

"I mean.. Why would I want to be best friends with you. Of all people. And I've been thinking.. Does it make sense? I mean all you do is...manipulate, order, control, snap, and steal people from others" she glared.

"We both know I changed..for the better" I said tightly "and what do you mean stealing?"

"And now you act innocent. You stole Da-- why am I telling you this? Please get out" she said pointing to the door. "And I mean out of my house"

I looked at her in disbelief. I didn't understand what she was saying at all. I couldn't comprehend. All I heard were warning bells.

She wasn't making any sense to me. She didn't explain what she meant and she was not elaborating.

"Yi--"

"Get out. I am asking you politely now"

Is that being polite? That's what you call polite?

"Hear me out!"

"I HAVE BEEN DOING THAT FOR THE PAST ONE YEAR! SO NOW YOU HEAR ME OUT!!!" She screamed.

I personally think she's over reacting.

Or she's on her period.

"Are you on?" I asked without thinking.

"Huh?"

"Are you on as per monthly f--"

"Shut up! Is that what you're thinking huh? That whenever I'm vexed its because I'm on?! I can't get angry again?!"

"Look-"

"Get out!"

And that was it for me.

"Ohh stop it!! YOU KEEP INTERRUPTING ME without hearing what I have to say also. Do you know how irritating it is?! I'm telling you, I don't understand what you're saying and you're being petty and stupid about it! if you think I came here so you could carry your frustration and pour them on me then you're  wrong!! Okay?! Now I have a better place to be" I said carrying my phone and slamming the door.

I turned on my phone and called the driver to pick me up. While waiting for him, I opened my Instagram and found out that I had not only been blocked but I had been unfollowed  by Yimika

I stared at my phone in annoyance.
