What happens in the movies we watch, when one is confronted about something that is similar to Isoken's situation?

Well, from what Isoken knew, there should be four sides to it. It's just like a spy getting caught.

Act dumb about the situation, act like you didn't hear anything, change the subject or reply honestly.

The first two seem like something that could end up making the situation more embarrassing. Changing the subject; she's not very good at that and wouldn't bank any hopes on it. So it would be better to tell the truth.

"What's wrong with me not wearing any tights?" She asked. He was shocked when he heard her question.

He became baffled, "You are supposed to wear one, all girls are." He said.

"And where was that written? Huh!" She asked; she was getting smart with him.

At this moment, his facial expression screamed 'I'm speechless.' "Aren't you embarrassed about this?" He asked.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. When we go for a swim isn't it practically the-same thing? It's only wrong when one peeks at you, which is what you did!"

He became flustered; he couldn't compose a full sentence without stammering a few times when he tried to speak. He decided it was best to keep his mouth shut, till he could figure-out what to say.

He obviously couldn't refute or retaliate. If a third party were to be involved, he would be deemed guilty, "I'm sorry." He muttered.

"I can't hear you."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to spy on you or anything like that. This was just an accident that no one expected." He said.

"It's alright, just delete the image from your brain."

"It's not possible, you know that right?" He asked.

"Well don't try to think about it then."

"I will do my best." He said then smiled.

"So why are you still in school anyways?"

"My driver has this thing going on, he told me he would be late, but I didn't think this late. I just hope he comes soon." He said.

They made themselves comfortable, before talking to one another. They found-out that they actually had a lot of things in common. Isoken told him the subjects she was struggling with and he offered to help.

She was going to suggest going to his class for him to explain to her, but he said he would come to hers. After that, they talked some more before descending into silence, it was a peaceful one. They just looked at each other whilst not speaking; different thoughts ran through their heads, as they looked at one another.

It wasn't long before his driver came. Shortly after that, her mom arrived with her dad and they went home.

...

She took a look at the wall clock only to discover, it was 5:00 pm. 'Wow!' She spent 5 hours just thinking and reminiscing about the past, now that's not something that happens everyday.

She stood up and went to the kitchen in search of food, as her stomach protested by growling. While in the kitchen, she heard the front door being opened then shut. She turned to have a look. Lo and behold, it was her third eldest brother, Femi.

"Brother!"

"What's wrong with you? Why are you shouting? Didn't you see me this morning?" He asked.

"I did, but isn't it you and Tade who decided to leave your baby sister by herself at home." She replied begrudgingly.

"Sorry mommy's pet. Ok come with me, I bought something for you." He said.

'Yes!' She exclaimed in her mind. There was nothing in the kitchen and she didn't have the strength to cook anyways. At least she won't be hungry anymore.
