PRISS
"Where are you guys going for the summer?",that was my dad's question to my younger siblings as I joined them on the dining table,I was the last and was always the last every morning.
"Good morning",I interrupted before Zavrina and Kelly could reply their dad's question.
They all replied my greetings concurrently.
" Coddenham", Zavrina replied her dad's question as I picked up my bread roll, we were having burger and breadroll along with India tea.
"Star Camp, Zavrina will also work in the kitchen while I'll help in events",Kelly added.
"What is Star camp all about?",Tenola inquired as I collected a bread roll from Granny who was actually vacating the dining room.
It was after Granny was out of sight that Zavrina responded Tenola's question.
"Star camp is a summer camp for teenagers, held actually at Coddenham where we work and get paid while engaging in fun activities like singing and dancing competitions",she sipped the India tea while Kelly continued.
"We're also taken on a sightseeeing trip, cultural programs in the evenings and there are also indoor games"
"That's nice",I commented,taking a sip out of my tea.
"It's really fun",Tenola added.
Dad cleaned his mouth before announcing "I'll be seeing the Mayor later in the afternoon"
"Alright",was Mum's response as Dad stood up to leave pecking mum.
"Aren't you running late for work?",Mom queried,turning to me.
Tenola glanced at her wristwatch and declared,"Let's go, we're actually running late",she stood up.
"Okay then", pecking mum and walking out of the dining room with Tenola.
***************
We listened to " A new day"by Celine Dion silently as we journeyed to the office,Tenola wasn't a fan of Celine Dion, she only loved listening to Nigerian songs most especially Adekunle Gold's song but she had to endure listening to Celine Dion'song whenever I drove.
Gbam!
What was that sound?
Halting the drive, we both got down from the car to see what had gone wrong.
Walking up to the person who was actually making a call while checking the car and on approaching ,guess who it was?
Well,she's a black girl like me, definetely a Nigerian, willowy like a model,fine-looking, fine or beautiful? any word to qualify her attractiveness, she was as flawless and polished like a diamond, dressed in plain poncho top on a blue jeggings that advertised that curvaceous shape that could seriously bring a corpse back alive.
Her faint floral scent teased my nose,recognising the perfume as ZINA FLORAL, the perfume I'd been using before changing to ZINA ROSY.
"Hi",she greeted with a beautiful voice bringing me out of the admiration.
"Hi"Tenola and I replied almost simultaneously.
"Sorry I hit your car,anyway I'll call for repair",she explained.
Tenola and I took a quick glance at each other before Tenola responded,"You don't have to worry, it's just a scratch, it's not a big deal".
She looked pleased.
"But....",I cut her short,"No worries,we'll fix it".
Smiling warmly which showed her dimpled face that reminded me of Feyikemi-that witch,she chortled,"Thanks anyway".
As she opened the front door to go in,I inquired,"Is your perfume ZINA FLORAL?"
Tenola smiled at her and walked back to the car, she didn't like such discussions.
A smile shadowed her mouth.
"Yes,how did you know?"
Pursing my lips, my answer was,"I'd used it before I changed to ZINA ROSY".
The smile got larger as she grinned widely. Why was she grinning?
"That's really nice of you,I think I've got to go now,I'm running late".
Realising I was also getting late,"Sure",I uttered walking away hurriedly.
What would be our lot at MODUSOIL?

CLIFF
My eyes caught Priss as she tiptoed into the conference room, she was trying to hide and make herself unnoticed.
Her friend or whoever she is to her had walked in and had apologised for coming late, being forgiven she'd found her seat but Priss-she's a weirdo, a weird and rude lady.
"What are you doing?", I shouted making the room go silent, as silent as a graveyard, Alexia who was the account manager had halted her brief as all eyes were plugged on the invisible.
Noticing the eyes, she stood up and slipped her legs back into her black open toe sandals that fitted the white printed A line gown she was dressed in.It looked gprgeous on her. What was my concern with that?
"I'm sorry for that, an accident occured, that's the reason for my lateness",she apologised bowing her head as she tried to find a seat, my eyes trailed her till she was sitted. She noticed and glared at me.
Alexia continued her brief but I didn't listen,instead I was gawping at Priss.
What a mysterious lady?
PRISS
Why did he make it known to everybody? He's such a jerk, useless thing.
I hissed at the thought. Looking up, my eyes met with dozens of fierce and glaring eyes even Tenola was glaring at me and then I understood the reason. I'd hissed loudly again and this time it was more than loud 'cause all eyes were glued to mine.
"Sorry",I said standing up to bow my head.
"I warned you",Tenola mumbled and I rolled my eyes as I sat in silence.
My eyes made four with Cliff's eyes but I gave him a deadly glare and looked away quickly, I was upset with him. Extremely vexed.
So guys,how far?.
Isn't Priss mysterious? Who do you think is the lady that caused the accident?
