            How any of my anties had known I was in jail, I didn't know. But that only meant that I was to be taken home. So, with my shoulders slumped and a sad feeling creeping through me I trudged to the front desk. My eyes scanned for my aunties but I saw none. And the only farmiliar face here was Niveah who was standing with a lady. She looked so young she wouldn't pass as Niveah's mom. Her black Bob resting gently on her shoulder and her spects giving off a responsible aura. Her grey office wear fitting in the right places matched the grey stilettos. She looked a no nonsense lady. A handbag dangling off her left hand as she signed some papers with the right. I smiled to myself, I always wanted to be an office worker because of their smartness although their pockets were another story.
         On standing upright she beamed at me and opened her hands for a hug. What?
       "There you are Rosalita, it's been a few years."she said and I looked around just to make sure she was telling me but on seeing Niveah's look I knew she was the "aunt."that came for me.
           "Pardon my rudeness ,aunt. Its been long indeed. Didn't know you were in town?" I hugged her lightly.
          "I rushed back on hearing Ni was in trouble but I didn't expect you to be here as well. "She acted along. 
           "But how did you know I were here?"
           "Don't be silly, of course Niveah told me. And this officer was kind enough to let me get you since your parents aren't in town."she smiled politely at the officer who returned it though let his eyes linger on her. I mentally shook my head, men and their pants.
             "Thanks, my sister and cousin won't be seen in anymore trouble."a guy I hadn't noticed said to the policeman as he received our cross bags from him. He was good-looking tall light skin and somewhat built body. His soft black curls held in a neat man bun clad in stonewashed tight jeans and a black jacket with Adidas sneakers. And when his eyes met mine he smiled warmly at me which I returned though his eyes caught my attention, I could hardly tell he had pupils as they were so light. We started for the door. I thanked God that I found Niveah here. Hope they weren't serial killers cause I was supposed to leave the station with them.
              I climbed into the backseat of the black range Rover with Niveah. The guy in the driver's seat with "aunt"in the passenger. I smiled silently as I have always loved big cars. We pulled out of the station.
          "So where are you headed to pretty girl?" the guy inquired and I blushed a bit.
         "She's coming with us for a bit."said Niveah as she switched her attention to her phone. I was about to protest when I recalled my little situation and I didn't clearly remember if I had packed tampons, I can't believe my stupidity
            "Rosalita, where are you from?"asked my "aunt" who had now taken off her spects and she looked around our age.
           "I am Primrose.Am just around, nothing much." Niveah gave me a look between worried and confused.
         "You look a Rosalita or something so I will just call you that."she deadpanned. "By the way, am Lucy and this is Jerk."she beamed as Niveah laughed.
         "Jerk?"I questioned. "Jerk" slapped Lucy jokingly.
         " Jack."he muttered."Jacob but call me Jack."he added. So they called him jerk as a friendly joke. He didn't look a jack though, maybe brown or something.
          "This weave is so itchy."Lucy huffed pulling off the Bob which made my eyes widen.she pulled off the between net and curly long red hair bounced down to her back.
          "Indeed, you looked so young to be Niveah's mom." I practically screamed and they laughed.
           "I guess my acting classes paid off."she replied calmly.
           "Told your sorry ass drama was a nice elective."scoffed jack.
           "Calm your tits,Jacky boy, no one said it wasn't."defended Lucy. Wait. Elective? Are these guys in college?
           "Um are you guys in college?" Niveah looked at me like I had asked what month Christmas was.
        "Yeah. you? " asked Jack.
         "Gap year."I replied smoothly.
         "I have been meaning to ask , why are you in hopefield?" asked Niveah. I didn't feel like telling any of them that I had ran away from home.
           A ringtone blared through the car and I sighed. That has passed. Jack picked up his phone. 
         "Yeah.....what......am with them, what's up."he talked casually.
          "Get real, the liquor was left at the station, Ni was arrested for it." he dead panned. So that's her crime.
         "Literally it's you to get more , I don't want that crap.."he scolded. Then with a "yeah...... whatever." he hung up.
         "Where is your phone,Ni , Carl says he's been calling you.?"asked Jack
         "It's dead" Niveah shrugged.
         "We should be down at the beach by ten or Essy will flip."he added.
          "That's cool, we have an hour." shrugged Lucy. Whatever was going on I didn't have a clue hell I didn't even know them.
