Annoying aunt
Chapter 12
Michelle's POV
"NEPA!!"
Maya screamed from her room,I immediately looked up to see the lights,I knew what was going to happen next and I'm so not loosing this time...
I jumped out of my bed and out of my room,hurried downstairs as fast I could before he could beat me to it,taking 3 steps instead of one at a time but he was smarter,he took the slide of the stairs.
When we got to the living room,we were struggling for the TV remote.
"Ha!! I'm in charge once again"
"In charge?! I got it first"
"Let it go joor"
"I'm not releasing this thing"
"Ouch my hand"
"Leave it o!"
We screamed on top of our voices, struggling for the remote like the way Nigerians struggle for food at parties unfortunately NEPA thought they had a better way of resolving this argument,so they took the light.
"Shit!!"
"Stupid Nigerian electricity"
"Oya release it na"
"Never!!"
"Mummy!!Welcome back"Maya screamed,running to hug my mum.
Our mum's arrival made us drop the remote instantly.
You must be wondering why we are fighting,okay let me explain.
Anytime there was electricity,Mason would always be in charge of the remote whenever my mum wasn't around,he would end up watching Sports channel or action movies which was boring as hell!!
He claimed he had the right to be in charge since he was the oldest
My foot!!
Sometimes we would join him in watching sports
WWE to be precise
Sometimes we would go to our mother's room to watch TV when we got tired of pestering him to change the channel
Annoying twin !!
But we got tired of it so we decided the first person to get the remote would be in charge for the whole day,so that's the reason.
"Good evening,mummy"We both greeted her acting composed.
"Evening"
"Mason,put on the generator and Michelle serve me my food"She stated walking to her room to take a shower.
"Yes mummy"We both replied.
"Get out of my way"
"Hello?!I'm not in your way"
"Don't try me o"
"Can't you pass the other way?Must you pass here"
"I'm the oldest I choose where to pass"
"Ordinary 3 minutes seniority is catching you,better pass the other side except you want continue standing "I stated folding my arms.
"Move joor"He pushed me out of the way.
"Mu...mmm...y!"My mouth was covered as I tried to scream.
"Sorry"He apologized before leaving.
"Better"I muttered.
After the generator has been put on, I warmed the food,served my mum the remaining Jollof rice and meat in the pot with water.
After she finished eating,she went to the living room and changed the channel to Zeeworld,making a frown appear on Mason's face. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw his facial expression.
"What's funny?!"He asked trying to hide the anger in his voice.
"Nothing o"I replied sitting on one of the chairs.
He glared at me,that was the least he could do, knowing that my mum was in thesame space with us.
Dear Brother,you are as weak as pumpkin leaf right now
Really?!
"I'm traveling tomorrow"My mum said breaking the silence.
Our faces lit up the moment those words came from her mouth
Evil children lol
"To where?"Maya asked,she had a sad look on her eyes.
Mummy's girl
"My baby,I know you are the only one who will miss me"
"Just look at the way these two are smiling"She moved her fingers at us.
"I'm going to see Grandpa and ma,Grandma is currently ill,I need to take care of her,I will be away for a week"
I was already grinning like an idiot when I heard those words
Wait why I'm happy ?!
Because you want to bring boy to the house
Jace!!
"Rachael will be here with you guys while I'm away"My mum smirked.
Did she just ?!
Oh no she didn't
Mummy oo
She knew exactly what she was doing,she knew us too well
Duh she is your mother
A huge frown crept on our faces including Maya,we dreaded her.
Rachael was the last born of my mum's family,she was typical example of Slay Queen well,I'm not surprised after all she is a student of Unilag so of course she will surely be classy,pretty and bossy!!The only reason I like her is that she always gives me some of her things like clothes, wigs and shoes!!
I'm a shoe freak
And also the fact that I'm always her model for her makeup business which is cool but she is rude!
I thought Mason was the king of arrogance,rudeness and sauciness but you are going to meet the goddess of the trio.
God I hate her
She's 22,she is light skinned like my mother, she's beautiful no doubt about that,one of the reasons for her bitchy attitude,she's tall,not fat or slim,just has a good shape like me
Not really good tho
Okay let me describe it
She is like a proper fraction just like me,small boobs big ass
That's the only thing we have in common
The last time she came here,it was like hell,I had series of sleepovers at Olivia's and now history is about to repeat itself.
"Aunty Rachael?!"We all screamed.
"Mummy noo"
"We can take care of ourselves"
"Mummy,why do you want us to suffer like this?!"
"Haba na!"
"We don't need a babysitter"
We already complaining when our mum cut us short
"So you think,I will enter my car then smile and say take care of yourselves,be good children,then I will drive off,you will turn my house to hotel abi?!"
"Not possible"
"You that your eyes is at the back of your head,so that when I come back,you will start telling me funny stories"She said pointing to me.
What did I do again?!
"Then you,you will use it as an avenue to bring all those girls"She pointed at Mason.
"It won't work sef,you don't want Aunty Rachael abi?!"
"Nooo,we don't want her"We said in unison.
"Okay then,Uncle Tony will replace her"
This time the frown has disappeared and turned to shock.
"Ahhh!!"
"Mummy na"
"This thing you are doing it's not fair o "
"Life is not fair, sweetheart"
"Uncle Tony is even worse than Aunty Rachael"Maya complained.
We both agreed with her,Uncle Tony was the second to the last born,he may look young with his baby innocent face but....behind every cute face....there is a demon within
This guy oops sorry my manners
Uncle Tony was the true definition of Iron Man,the no-nonsense type but he was the CEO of F*ckboys Group of Nigeria
Okay I'm exaggerating
He was a badass player,the time he was around,he changed girls everyday like clothes,he would take them to the guest room and have fun...
I'm sure you know what I mean
I guess that's where Mason got that trait from,he was more like Mason's mentor with the motto of
Cute boys are always bad boys
I don't even blame the girls, whoever saw Uncle Tony would fall for him instantly for his good looks,God really took time to create him.
The abs,the amazing jawline,long lashes,carved brow,tall stature,brown eyes and his beards...
He's too cute
I'm not crushing on my uncle
Ewwww!!
The way girls usually screamed or moaned from the guest room made me believe those things between his legs must be huge...
Anyways whatever
After committing his evil deeds
Well he is an adult so he has the right to
He would bribe us by taking us out to the mall and fun places,he would buy us gifts to stop Maya and I from telling our mum that her younger brother turned her house to f*ck quarters.
The last time we saw him was Christmas and do not want to see him again,all he does is yell like a lion when someone does something wrong and he always watches sport channels 24/7
Annoying relatives...
"Okay fine"
"You can call Aunt Rachael"
"We don't want Uncle Tony"
We finally accepted before retreating to our rooms.
_____
"Bye mummy"
"Bye Sweethearts"
"Greet grandma"
"And Grandpa"
"I love you all,I will miss you "She pecked each of us before entering her car and drove off.
Madam Rachael has already balanced this morning in front of TV, laughing at whatever she was watching and also scrolling through Instagram.
We walked past her to our rooms but she called us back
This girl should not ruin my morning for me!!
"Come back here!"She ordered.
Can you imagine?!
"Don't you have chores to do this morning?!"She asked in bossy tone.
We didn't reply,we just looked at her like dummies.
"Will you answer me and stop looking like Zombies!"
I looked at my two siblings,they didn't look like who was going to reply her anytime soon.
Two stubborn beings
"Yes we do"I managed to say.
"Good,now get to it and stop being lazy"She ordered.
Lazy?!See pot is calling kettle charcoal
"Could you be less bossier?!"Mason glared at her.
I gasped when I saw the guts that he had,not like I was scared of her or anything,I was scared that she could call my mum and start crying over the phone that we are disrespectful and stubborn then Uncle Tony would come and replace her.
I'm seriously avoiding that
I nudged Mason to keep quiet then I remembered that Mason was very very stubborn so it would be of no use.
"We should get to it?!What will you be doing?"Maya asked,she was getting irritated already.
Who wouldn't be?!
Since I was calm one,I didn't say anything at all,I just kept quiet.
"See this 15 year old, people are talking,you are putting mouth,if I slap you"She yelled.
I don't think my siblings will be able to keep up with her for a week ?!
Uncle Tony is going to be here anytime from now
"I will just report you to my mummy"Maya frowned.
"Michelle,go to my room,take my white sneakers and wash it"She couldn't even say please.
Okay I can't keep up this good girl act anymore
"What is wrong with your hands?!I can help you pull your nails so you can wash it by yourself,I have things to do"I stated looking elsewhere.
"Oh!So you have joined them,it's because you now have a boyfriend,you are having mind"
My eye widened when she said those words
Boyfriend ?!
"Aunt Rachael, please I don't have a boyfriend"
I'm not lying
"Besides,I have better things to do with my time rather than love"I shrugged.
"Thank God you know o,WAEC is not far,better concentrate,I'm monitoring you"She pointed her two fingers to her eyes and then to me.
Gosh I hate her
"You are not the boss of me"I mumbled.
Good thing she didn't hear that.
We finally agreed to do the chores she chose for us to let peace reign,we had already finished breakfast,Maya was clearing the table when the door bell rang.
Mason was'nt ready to check the door,he never does,I decided to check,I grinned when I opened the door to see the
Future LOML
More like Heartbreaker of my life
"Why are you smiling like an idiot, who's at the door?"Rachael asked,stretching her neck to see.
I hope this girl isn't planning on bringing those her boyfriends.
I told him to come in,I was still smiling,my smile made my family look at me like what's doing this one?!
"This your boyfriend is cute o"Rachael smirked checking him out.
Every horrible person has a good side,she can be friendly and jovial sometimes,that's when it enters her head and whenever she was in this social happy mode you wouldn't be able to judge that she is a bossy saucy despicable person.
"He's not my boyfriend"I frowned.
But he will be,soon
Jace chuckled and greeted Rachael,he introduced himself as Mason's friend and classmate.
Rachael hasn't seen him before, whenever she was around, Jace didn't visit.
We went upstairs,leaving her to allow her eyes get glued to the TV.
"So they babysit you guys now"Jace burst into hearty laughter.
He's just keeps getting cuter
I bit my lips unconsciously as I watched him laugh,he immediately noticed it and smirked.
Please don't seduce me,not in front of Mason,I don't want to die just yet
"She's not our babysitter"Mason pushed him slightly,he seemed irritated by the fact that he was going to be babysit for a week.
I'm irritated too
"She just came to visit since she missed us"I argued.
"Yeah,right"He said in sarcasm.
"It seems we are going on a trip"Jace stated.
Trip?
"What trip?"I asked.
"School trip"
"But it's just first term"Mason remarked.
"Almost the ending of first term"I corrected.
"Yeah,I know"
"Principal talked to my dad today,he talked about doing some fun things for SS3 students before we leave"Jace said hopping on Mason's bed.
"But it's first term" I stated not believing this whole thing.
"I know that,Michelle"Jace rolled his eyes.
No more muffin?!
Oh I forgot Mason is here
Jacey is scared lol
"You know second term is stocked with various activities which includes interhouse sports and we won't be able to participate in all because of our forthcoming exams,so we will do part of those activities this term then alittle of it in second term"He explained.
"You should be happy,you are social prefect,you should be excited"He added.
Oh I'm excited
"So where are we going?"Mason asked.
"I don't know yet but I hope it's out of this state"Jace pouted.
"Trust me,it will be"I winked at him,he licked his lips at my action.
Why does Mason has to be here ?!
God doesn't want us to be alone
Maybe.
Michelle's POV
"SS3!Keep quiet o!,you guys are disturbing the peace of this school"Daniel yelled for the third time this morning.
"He even has strength to talk"Lucas said weakly."Honestly,this class will get us into trouble,I will move to science class if they don't keep quiet"Olivia stated with a frown on her.I only managed to smile at her words.
Already in school on a Wednesday morning,my classmates decided to turn our class to a market place,it was really getting on my nerves,I had severe headache and they weren't helping matters with their irritating noise and they are Seniors for God's sake.
Well art students are good at noisemaking so it's nothing new
That's a lie.
On a normal day,I would join in noisemaking
See your life
Whatever
But not today,not this week,I was seeing code red and whenever it's that time of the month,I just feel like swapping my gender then come back when it's over. It was honestly the worst thing ever,my head was banging and my waist let's not talk about it,it felt like it was being hammered, I wanted to stay at home but Aunt Rachael hasn't gone back and yes my mum has returned from her travel but she said Rachael should stay longer so they could have a little sister to sister time.
Arrghh!!
I looked at my best-friends,they were talking about forthcoming exams,I wasn't in the mood to talk neither did I have the strength because you had a light breakfast .I was angry,irritated, depressed,all the horrible emotions that was I felt,I rested my head on my table and closed my eyes hoping my headache would subside but nah,that's not gonna happen.
"Good morning,Seniors"I heard a junior greet.
"Senior Daniel and Senior Michelle, Principal sent for you"A junior with glasses said.
Wrong timing Principal....
"Chelle,are you okay?"Olivia asked with worry on her face.
"I'm fine,it's just this stupid cramps"I stated weakly.
"Have you taken pain reliever"She asked again touching me.
"Umm..yes I have"I managed to smile which seemed to calm her down a little. I turned to look at Lucas,he had a pitiful look on his cute face
Cute?
Yeah,my bestfriend is cute so what?!
I excused my self and walked sluggishly out of my seat,Daniel was already waiting for me at the door.
"Madam,are you okay?"He asked."Yeah,I'm fine"I replied weakly with my hands supporting my waist."Are you sure?"He asked again."Daniel,haba na!I said I'm fine"I replied angrily walking away.
"Woah,calm down,Tiger,I was just worried"He explained."You shouldn't be,I'm fine"I rolled my eyes."Okay o"He replied.
"Good morning,Sir"We both greeted as we walked into the Principal's office. Jace and Kim were already in the office
I hope this man is not about to tell us that we are going for a competition because he will be disappointed
"Morning,how are you?"He asked."We are fine,Sir"We replied.
"The reason why I called you four here was to discuss where your class would like to go for your trip"He stated.
His words immediately put a smile on my face, atleast he has lightened my mood alittle.
"Sir,can we go out of this state?"Jace inquired,his face beaming with hope."Yes,sure it's your choice"Principal remarked.
Thank God!!
"Since, it's going to be out of this state then let's go to Lagos"She suggested.
Lagos ke?!
"Lagos?!"Jace and Daniel asked with the look like she has grown 3 heads.
Wow they just voiced out my thoughts
"Lagos is too far"Principal stated.
"Let's go somewhere not far and somewhere not close"Daniel suggested.
"Social prefect,what's your suggestion?"Principal asked,making the trio face me.
"Portharcourt?"I asked but it was more like a suggestion.
"This was the reason why they chose you as social prefect"Jace teased.I passed him a smile with the little energy left in my me.
"What are the activities you guys are going to do?"Principal asked."Well,we could visit the museum,the mall,Pleasure park or Garden City Park and the beach"I stated.
They all smiled and nodded as to say they agreed with me.
"But what about accommodation because you guys won't be to do all those in one day"He questioned.
"My dad owns a hotel in PH,so that won't be a problem"Jace grinned.
Hmmm
"It's a 3-day trip in PH then"Principal finally agreed."The week after the end of 1st term exams,you will go for your trip and Mr Jerry and Miss Lucy will accompany you all"He added before dismissing us.
"Thank you,Sir"We thanked him with smiles on our faces before leaving his office.
"So we get to go on a trip without our parents"Jace whispered into my ears.
Please stop.....
"But with our teachers"I corrected."They are young adults,they wouldn't mind if we misbehave"He stated with his arm on my shoulders.
"Jace"I whispered yelled, stopping in my tracks and looking into his eyes."What?and why did you have that weak look on your face earlier on?"He asked in a worried tone.
Awwwnnn....
"Just cramps"I faked a smile probably to calm him down. We were close to our classes when I heard Daniel announce to the class about our trip and after that,screams of excitement followed,I grinned at the way my classmates could behave immature sometimes.
I guess they care less about seniority
I started feeling nauseous,I immediately ran to the toilet,covering my mouth and ofcourse Jace followed me.
"Muffin,are you okay?"He asked as soon we got to the toilet.
"I dont-I couldn't reply because I rushed to the wash-hand to barf. I continued vomiting to the extent that I felt weak,very weak.
I leaned into his arms,hoping I won't puke again."Call Ollie"I mumbled.
"But you can't be here alone"He said in a tensed tone."Just call her please"I managed to say closing my eyes slowly.
I leaned against the wall as he rushed to call Olivia,the sudden urge to barf came back,I rushed to throw up again.
Thanks so much Miss Red
"Chelle,what's wrong?"Olivia asked, rubbing my back."Miche,are you okay?"Mason asked.
Can't these people see that I'm not fine
Stupid questions
Anger!!
"No,I'm not,can't you see that"I yelled after rinsing my mouth.
Where did you get the energy to yell all of a sudden?!
"Let's take her to sickbay"Lucas suggested.
"Oh my God,Michelle!!"Someone screamed.
Having no energy left,that was the last thing I heard before falling into someone's arms and blacked out.
_____
I opened my eyes to see so much lights
Heaven?
I can't die because of Miss Red!!
Okay we are just in sickbay not Heaven
Thank God
"Michelle,how are you feeling?"A nurse asked me."Weak"I replied in a low tone."I will get you something to eat so you can take your drugs okay"Nurse Anita stated before walking out.
The bell was rung continuously signalling it was breaktime,I heard footsteps,Olivia,Mason,Lucas and Jace walked in with Olivia carrying food.
Awwn I love her
"How's my little sister doing?"Mason smirked, he's obviously here to irritate me."Twin sister"I glared at him,making him chuckle."I was scared,what if something worse had happened"He said in a low tone."But nothing happened,I just passed out because I was weak and had headache"I explained.
I turned to see Olivia and Lucas,I grinned."What's making this one to smile?!"Lucas asked nobody in particular."Can't I smile again?"I frowned."Don't mind him,sit up let me feed you"She stated lifting me into a seated position.
"Baby"Jace teased."I like it"I replied in baby voice and winked at him.
"So how was maths class?"I asked waiting for the complains that would follow.
"That class was horrible"
"It wasn't that bad"
"How won't it be bad,Mathematician"
"45 minutes of horror"
"Honestly I wished I was the one who fainted"
"You are not serious"
"To make matters worse"
"They gave us assignment!!"
"That man ehn"
I laughed at my friends who were busy ranting about Maths class,I didn't blame them,Maths class was usually horrible and I was sad and glad that I missed it,I'm sure you know what I mean..
"Oh,she is already eating"Nurse Anita said from behind holding a cooler of food.
I wonder where she got that from?
My mum immediately walked behind her grinning, if not my condition I would totally run and hug her.
"Mummy"I called in a happy tone."See her,are you sure this is the same person that fainted few minutes"My mum teased me."I missed you"I pouted and hugged her."I hope you know you are not last born"Jace teased,which made everybody laughed. I glared at him as I hugged my mum,he licked his lips and winked
at me.
Can't he be less seductive right now?
"Okay,let's go home"My mum grinned,I nodded as I stood up and walked out of the sickbay into my mum's car,waiting for my school bag which Mason went to fetch.
I waved my friends as my mum drove out of the school.
Now I have to see Aunt Rachael's annoying face
___
"I heard you fainted today"Maya said as soon as she got home.
"Go take a bath,baby"My mum ordered from the kitchen.
"Yes mummy"She answered,skipping to her room.
Last born
Mason had a horrible look on his face as if he had just escaped a zombie attack.
"You look.."
"Horrible,I know"He replied,rolling his eyes and sitting next to me on the coach,removing his socks.
"Let mummy catch you"I said looking back to see if our mum was coming.
"Why are you looking like this?"I asked looking at him from head to toe."Today is Wednesday,duh"He responeded as if I was dumb."So?"I asked not still understanding his words."Oh,I forgot you are not a Science student"He replied touching his head.
"After break,we had Economics,agric, chemistry then double period for Physics"He explained weakly.
5 subjects that could drain life out of you
"Sorry,food is almost ready"I said in a pitiful tone."Hope,they didn't give Economics and Agric assignments?"I asked."They did"Mason smirked.
Why?!!!
"Well, I'm not aware of the assignments so I'm not doing them"I stated folding my arms."I just pity you,I have already told you,after eating,better just come,let's do it together except you want to collect cane tomorrow"He chuckled.
Oh I forgot I have to go to school tomorrow
"I will tell them that you didn't tell me"I smirked."We will see how that lie will end"He glared.
"Change this channel,let's watch action film"He dragged the remote from my hand.
"Mummy!!Mason hasn't taken a bath and he is in the living room"I yelled,making Mason run for his dear life to his room.
Come and watch action film na mtchhwww
I got a call from Olivia,she asked how I was feeling and I assured her that I was fine,we talked briefly before I turned on my data to check WhatsApp,messages and notifications were popping in,my phone made the pebble sound continuosly.
"Hot cake,see the way your phone is just making noise"Aunt Rachael teased. I only smiled but my smile turned to a blush when I saw two special messages that caught my eyes.
Lucas,4:15PM:Hey,Loml,are you doing okay now?
Jace️,4:16PM: How's my Princess doing?Much better right?
"What's making this one blush,let me see"Rachael stretched her hand to collect my phone."Nothing"I stuttered,hiding my phone behind my back.
"Really?If you don't show me,I will ask your mum to come and check"She threatened.
Why is she so annoying?!
Pokenoser
"Okay fine"I handed her the phone. She only smiled when she saw the messages.
"See love triangle"She teased.
She can go from saucy bossy girl to a jovial one sometimes
Weird.
"Love triangle?They are just my classmates,one is my bestfriend,the other is Mason's bestfriend"I defended."I don't see it from that angle,anyways take your phone"She smirked handing me my phone before joining my mum in the kitchen.
Hope she won't talk
Nah
She's not like that,she was probably like me when she was my age so she can relate.
I quickly replied the messages as soon she left.

I replied Lucas's message afterwards,the chat with Jace was not that bad.
Falling for him deeper?!
Shut up.
"Mum,after our exams,we are going on a trip to PH City"Mason informed my mum as we ate.
"You and who?"My mum raised a brow."SS3 students"I told her.
"Alone?"Maya asked."No,we are going with our teachers"Mason replied.
"Okay then,for how long?"My mum inquired.
"3 days"I spoke.
"And where will you all stay during those days?"She asked.
"Jace's father owns an hotel so we are going to stay there but at a cheaper rate"Mason explained.
"Okay then,when it's time let me know"She remarked before we continued eating.
I can't wait.
