I excused myself from the common room, the pic of him sticking his tongue out was enough to make me fall for him again but my brain was quick and it told warning signals to my heart in forms of don't, don't, don't I quickly texted him back: I don't like your tongue.

I went back to the common room, Stephanie from sprawling on the floor knelt I'm front of me
" What's making your face so smiley?" I told her about the text message.
" You stupid child, you shouldn't have replied like that I don't like your tongue sounds so kinky"
" what are you talking about? I didn't mean it like that, besides I can still say something else" I try to defend myself.
"And embarrass yourself again you're so damned" I rolled my eyes she is such a drama queen.

A ping alerted me again, oh he texted back with a winky emoji Stephanie peeped at my phone
" You are officially sexting I never thought I'd say this to you but I know where Lacy keeps her condoms do you want one, your fucking her boyfriend anyway" She stands up and I pull her back down again.
" A winky emoji doesn't mean he sees me as kinky" Another ping stopped me from what I was about to say.
" That was totally kinky, he actually texted it, what did I tell you? I'll be getting the condoms now" she stands up again and I pull her down holding her captive with my hand.  
I put my head in my other hand "I'm just going to go to bed okay please I don't want to see any weird kinky unmentionables beside me when I wake up" I plead and then for the second time that afternoon exit from the common room.

My phone ringing BTS the truth untold woke me up at the wrong moment I was about to talk to Zac Efron during his fan signing event; sometimes dreams feel so real that I forget who I am, my hand answers the phone while my other hand rubs my eyes, my mum's voice wakes me up fully.
"Where in the world are you? Your mates are already at their different classes" I jumped off the bed and rushed to the wardrobe a jumpsuit will be okay with sandals Zayda was nowhere to be seen that backstabbing two-headed brat.

I said goodbye to the matrons then lightly jogged to the school gates, we all had allowances that were kept in our school cards but I didn't want to waste anything so I walked, it's good exercise.
I reached my parents' house in 15 minutes but they were not alone they were laughing at something someone else said, how dare they replace me with another child while I was in school?

I stormed inside the house, turning to my parents" how dare you get a replacement while I was away doing you think of how I would feel, huh? Or were you feeding your selfish desires and in front of Andy too that's not nice" I shook my head at them, they looked dumbfounded. 
"This is also how she behaves at school Mrs. White" Zach's voice came toward me like a bomb what was Zach doing at my house I turned around slowly. Zachs laughing face, Jason's bored face, and MR and Mrs. Richards' face stared back at me with distaste.

" Why do French people eat snails?" Zach asked. I looked at him, that little punk.
" Because they don't like fast food" he replied, everyone laughed, I didn't even crack a smile.

" Nkem you came late and you barge into my house and disturb my guest, how dare you?" Daddy was irritated so I swallowed my remarks and faced our visitors " I'm sorry for disturbing your dinner" Zach looked satisfied. I removed my shoes and kept them on the mat.
" We haven't had dinner dear your mum was making some" Mrs. Richard said. I nodded and went to sit on my normal seat.
" no, no, no you are not sitting there young lady" mum held me by the shoulders and plonked me on the seat between the two boys. " There you'll be more comfortable here"

My face burned as the two boys turned around and looked at me I reached for the jug of water and poured my self a cup of water, my mum came out of the kitchen carrying a dish of roast and salad plates she went in and came back with sauce bread and a bowl of Salad.

"Mum, I mean mum you put the plates so far away from me" She ignored me and turned to Mr.Richard.

Jason passes me a plate of bread"Eat up before Zach gets it, he's a monster when it comes to food" I nodded. I took a piece and was about to take another when Zachs' grubby hands took 3, why 3, is he okay?

I kept my mouth shut like the perfect hostess that my parents expected me to be and stood up to the kitchen to get more bread, my mum was there so I used the opportunity to ask her about the pregnancy.
"mummy, am I having  a brother soon?"
She immediately started fanning herself and said" whatever are you talking about?" 

So I prayed in my mind "Dear heavenly God. please give me a baby brother I can't live with any more girls, it is extremely hard to tell them about puberty and stuff like that, but boys find out by themselves. Thank you, Lord. Amen.

Jason and Zach where murmuring while looking at Zach's phone, Jason has nice gentle fingers with well-formed nails wait what am I saying looking at boys fingernails that is too much for even me. I made my way back to my seat and scooped some pasta to my plate the boys didn't even mind my presence and pushed back my seat so they can continue their conversation. I really wanted to know the gist so I moved forward again and their conversation seized.

" so what are we talking about?"
Jason looked as if he was about to laugh so I asked him what was so funny.
" you're like a squirrel, poking your nose into people's businesses" he replied and tapped my nose. How dare he? The thing about me is that if people touch my nose, sneezing is coming extremely soon.
