The E family

Then he leans closer to my ear
"Don't you dare try touch me if you don't want me to do the UNTHINKABLE", he calmly said

After my little uncomfortable altercation with Vince that earned me 'the unthinkable' warning, I decide to thread cautiously in my dealings with him.

Just like the other students, we're complete strangers. The only difference is that, I happen to meet him first hand as a sitting mate passenger in the bus. Now, we happen to be roommates and I can tell that he is so unpredictable, blunt and vulgar. The kind of guy all mothers will warn their daughters about.

Since the hostel will not buy my plea of separating our rooms, I've taken a mental note to buy a huge curtains that I will fix to separate our rooms so I can have my privacy.

Moments later, I put my phone on charge, unpacked my luggage, get comfy with my furnished surroundings and headed to the hostel's restaurant lounge for some lunch. Every bill is already taken care of, you just have to be on time for classes and learn your ass off to  attain good grades in this scholarship program which will land you in one of the topmost companies in Boston.

I settled on some veggie rice with chicken for my nourishment and a glass of juice to wash them down. Missing my family and Liam already, can't wait to go on Skype and call talk to them. They should be dying to hear from me.

The surrounding is so serene with beautiful flowers and decors. Few students are around to have lunch and chitchat but since I'm a newbie from faraway, knowing nobody else other than my accursed roommate and flirty boy Jeffrey, I enjoyed my meal alone.

After I was done, I went back to my hostel room and this time I successfully unlocked the door. Vince wasn't in the room and I thanked the heavens for that. I plopped on my bed, took out my phone, posted on my WhatsApp status 'Boston Uni cool breeze I'd breathe forever', posted snaps on my Snapchat with filters, selfies on twitter and IG with some funny meme, let's say I got pretty busy on social media, replying to comments on Facebook, retweets on twitter, I even commented on Nicki minaj's new born baby's post and expressed my dislike on Kylie Jenner's removed lip filters. So I'm pretty popular to the unknown and it's kinda fun.

Then I received a comment from my sister Elle on one of my earlier posts...'You already arrived in there and you didn't bother calling us huh'. Gosh, this is why you have to block family from your social media handles, but in my case, that will mean war. I immediately paused on my little fun moment with my own cellphone to call them on Skype.

I made sure to angle myself in a good position that will prevent Vince' from popping up in view which will cause a whole new hella controversy. Getting connected with Elle on the video chat, in less than five seconds, Ella, Eliza, Elena, Mama Estella my mother and Papa Eli my dad all pop up scrambling to see me.

As you've noticed we are the 'E' family. All our first names begin with the letter 'E' and we've been charged to carry that family tree to our next generations till we've used up all the names in the world beginning with letter 'E' then start all over again and like I said earlier, I'm the only daughter in my family to have come thus far in terms of academics so I'm like a celebrity or the shinning star. I ought not to fail or mess up  or else I'll becoming a laughing stock in my village.

Elena, 29years old, is our eldest sister and she is betrothed to Paul, they are farmers. She is followed by Elle the tease, 26years old, she is a high school teacher in the village who dropped out of college due to financial struggles. Ella, 24 years old, is my favourite of them all, is a well-known dressmaker, she dropped out of high school due to very bad grades...I'm the one after her and I'm followed by our youngest Eliza, 18years old, she just entered high school.
So that's something little about my family.

"Hello papa, Hi mama, yay sisters" I greeted

"You wouldn't have called if I hadn't caught up with you on Facebook right? Don't you know how worried we've been?" Elle scolded me unabashedly and I made a mental note to mute her from viewing my posts..stalker.

I gave her an apologetic look "Sooorry sis, I finished charging-"

"Stop being too hard on her Elle, can't you see she must have been exhausted?" My favourite sister, Ella, came to my defense.

"Miss you already" I chipped in cutely

"We miss you too, sis, honey" They all said respectively

"How are you doing? How was the journey? How is the place like? Can you show us a view of your hostel? ..." These questions and many more starts to pop up
