CIRCUMTANCES

"Heyy Anita, you have a call".

"Who is it?".

"Jackson, your new boyfriend". She rushed down, dragged her phone from Pricilla's hands

"His not my boyfriend".

"That's what they say....".

"Stop being silly and continue your work".

"Take your call. Where do you think, you are going to?".

.... Anita left anyway. Answered the call.

"Heyy".

"Heyy, how is your weekend?".

"Fun, you".

"Just boring".

"Are you busy?".

"no".

"Okay, I would be there in a minute". Call ended.

"Whoa, wait, he ends the call, he doesn't know my house, maybe Richard would give him the address, what would I wear, I haven't even brushed my teeth. Meyan, Meyan, Meyan, Meyan!". Called repeatedly as she hurried to the bathroom.

..... up in the garden".

"Why". Confused to see Anita.

"Meyan! You need to help me; number 17 want to go out on a date with me and I don't know what to wear".

"Wait, number 17, you mean Jackson".

"Yes, I mean Jackson".

"Oh my gosh, I need to transform you, come on". They hurried out of the garden

"Girls, would always be girls". Saucy said. That weird look.

"You are a girl". Mariana added.

"His here, you look beautiful".

"You think?".

"I know, wish me luck. Wait, my breath is perfect right!".

...Pricilla walked in on them.

"Wow! weird ".

"Both remarks, wow and weird, what does that imply?".

"Beautiful and dumb, his not going to kiss". Anita added

"You need to be sure". Pricilla said

"Wow! You're really adjusting those boobs. You are not trying to seduce him are you, cause the last time I check you didn't do all this for JoJo, oh, I get it the higher the money, the higher the package, nice".

"Pricilla, can you please shut up, so she shouldn't look good, just because she's trying not to be too much. Don't mind her".

"Whatever, good luck". Pricilla walked away.

...got downstairs.

"Bye".

Standing outside.

"My boss said I should come get you".

"Ooh, his not even here, okay so we are good". She entered the car and they left "So, who is that girl you were talking to?". Fredi asked

"You would, oh, she's here".

"Her, you mean this trash". Richard said so loud.

"Heyy, classmates, hi Jackson. I guess Pricilla was right, this isn't a date it's just..... hangout".

She took a deep breath and she walked up to her sit. "Can I?".

"Sure!".

Anita sat next to them quietly, staring at her phone screen. Got a message from Pricilla.

"So, how is the date coming up".

"I don't have what to say, am not feeling anything yet".

"Wow, okay we went to the cinema with Mr. Dunne, great movie".

"Great, I'll talk to you later".

"Are you ok?".

"Yes, I am". She sighs.

"Do you play?". Nitto asked

"Yes" she joined them to play their game.

...later on, Jackson dropped her off

"How was your day?". Pricilla asked

"Weird at the beginning, but interesting at the end, bye". Jackson left.

Sunday morning, walking with their neighbor

"Oh wow!".

"Am so stressed".

"Heyy menny, do you care for?".

"Who is menny?". Saucy asked

"Me!". Mayan said

"You, huh, weird". Saucy added

...engage the reverse gear, came to a stop beside them. She came down

"Hi". Lisa said.

"It's me again".

"Where are you guys heading to?".

"Mm, home". They said, really surprised.

"Okay let me drop you off".

"Okay".

Drove to their house, came down

"Mr. Dunne house".

"You know him".

"Ye, he works for my brother".

"I didn't get that part well".

"What don't you get, the fact that a 15year old is paying him for his services or what? And... the last time I check, he had only one wife, with a son, who is just two years, so.... How did you come into the picture?".

"Wow! Great interrogation". Anita said within. Well, we are his god daughters".

"So, your parent doesn't have a house, so you are so poor, more like church rats!".

"You use word, like you are so mature"

"You call this maturity, then you would say lyia is an adult".

"Little girl".

"I hate it when people call me little".

"Sorry princess".

"You are not entitled to call me that, only Andy has that right. call me Lisa"

"Okay, Lisa.... How old are you?".

"A year old".

"It's a lie". They said unison

"Why, to be precise 1year and six months. Can I come in now?".

"Sure!".

...They entered the house

"Not bad". She sat down

"She's so bossy, little Saucy, but she's preferable to her sister, that one is, hell". Anita whispered to melody as they walked into the kitchen.

"Here". Anita gave her fruit juice.

"So, tell me, what are you doing here all alone? I mean, ain't your parents worried?".

"Why, I have six guard, and that's because my dad is not around".

"Where too?". Scarlet asked Anita

"Saucy, my eyedrops are with you right!".

"Yes, why?".

"I need it".

"Okay check my wardrobe".

"She uses glasses?".

"Yes, she has six eyes. You are so cute". Meyan said

"Thank you, I just wanted to leave home, everyone is all over liya. Richard likes her more than me. He has never carried me once, so annoying, even my mom and ever one else likes liya, they think she's fun to be with and am boring, Richard says am lame".

"Why do you even care what this Richard says?".

"His more superior".

"Superior! Like he is 4 or 5 or 6 in number".

"What does that mean?". Lisa asked. Bereft of words

".....But!... we don't see you that way, you are an amazing, cute, lovely, sweet angel".

"Okay that is too much".

"Are you good?". Saucy asked

"Yeah, I would stick with this for now".

"Not bad".

... The day darkens

"Hmmmm, ain't you going home?".

"Andy would come get me".

"But he does...".

"His here".

"Ho-how, ok". She's surprised.

"I text him your address".

"Good evening class mate".

"Hope you haven't corrupted my sister".

"No, of course, she's clean".

"If you say so, come on princess let's go". He carried her and they drove out of the compound.

Next day at school, both twins alongside their brothers

"Today is going to be a mute day, I don't want to attract insult".

"From DS?".

"Who is DS? Anita asked "That cute one over there".

"You mean 4,5,6".

"You go with that!".

"I don't know his name".

"Can I go to them, please".

"You mean our lousy classmates"

"If you go with that, yes".

"Huh, be careful". He dropped her down.

"Heyy cutie, come here". Saucy carried her.

Later that day, they left Lisa to sleep in the inner room

"don't worry your brother would come get you okay". They left her.

.... tap him.

"Are you crazy?". Rude reaction

"Seriously, just because I touched your super expensive shirt, well if you must know your sister is sleeping in there, I have observed that you discriminate, you choose between your sisters, well it's not good, try not forgetting her there". Anita said, looking straight.

"Anita ain't you done lecturing him, am hungry". Juliana said.

"Must you add food to everything". Her friends snapped at her.

... she walked away.
