MUTING IT√

TWENTY SEVEN

"Ugh, this is so boring," Dera groaned as she threw her head to the back and slumped her shoulders.

"Everything is always boring to you," Tife chided and Dera straightened up.

"Tell me, is this career talk not boring?"

Tife shook her head while Dera hissed.

"It's obvious this Founder's day week would be boring, what's even in their agenda?"

"So, you didn't collect the flyers?"

Dera shook her head, "We did but Mimi and I trashed it that instant."

"You guys are stupid," she glanced at Mimi only to realize she had her head rested on her laps.

"Is she asleep?"

Dera who was beside her glanced at her, "Yeah, so, what's their programme for this week?"

Tife pursed her lips, "Tomorrow is Talent show."

Dera smiled, "Wow, that would be so much fun."

"The whole programme is going to be fun."

Dera rolled her eyes," So, on Wednesday?"

"The new Prefects would be appointed and in the evening, we are going for camping."

Dera raised her brows, "Camping?"

Tife nodded, "Yeah, I don't know the place but it's going to be one secluded part of the state and we are going to engage in different games in the course of the camping."

A wide smile slipped out of Dera's face, "Hmm, I guess that would be fun."

"Surely."

"So, Thursday?"

"Sports competition."

"And Friday?"

"Literary and debating competitions."

"Saturday?"

"Ball night," they both said in unison before bursting into laughter, that act made Mimi raise her head.

"We've woken her up," Tife muttered and Dera turned back to Mimi who was straightening up.

"You're awake?"

Mimi nodded.

Tife wanted to say something but the noise that overshadowed the hall made her exchange looks with Dera and Mimi while wondering the cause of the noise. It wasn't until she noticed the entrance of her mother, Aunt Lisha, Uncle Jimi and Aunt Nikki did she understand their reason.

"Wow, wow, is that not your mom?" Dera tapped her and Tife nodded.

"Gosh, I can't believe that beautiful woman is Mirabel's mother."

"That's why Mirabel is beautiful," Tife replied and Dera eyed her.

"Abi that's the reason for her pride, but look at Christy and Christian's mom, see how petite she is, sometimes I still wonder if she actually birthed them."

Tife chuckled.

When Lisha took hold of the microphone, the hall went silent, they were all ready to listen to her.

"Good day everyone," Lisha started and the hall roared.

"Gosh, see her voice," Dera cooed and Tife shook her head.

"No wonder that foolish Christy is always feeling herself, see her now shining her teeth like a goat, where is Christian?"

The last question caught Mimi's attention as she looked around the hall with Dera.
