Chapter 129

The soldier attacked Kwofo, and gave him more wounds than he sustained during his fall) I asked Father to change tutors for me; claiming I will be more willing to learn with a male as a tutor.

Father changed her the next day with Mr Brey who taught me for three full moon cycles.

My door burst open, and an already dressed Kwofo walks in. 

He's putting on a red top( one that hugs him like a second skin. The top looks tight on him; almost too tight to be considered legal), and he had on him blue skinny jeans ( most of the clothes we wear ( I and Kwofo) are gifts from Avel. He brings more than enough for me on most of his visits).

"You look", I gave him a once-over as if I didn't give him one when he walked in, "ready to party!", I smile at him.

How doesn't need to raise his head up for me to know he's blushing red like a tomato.

Looking down to the floor, he twirled his fingers together, "Thank you; I really appreciate".

"No need to thank me", I shrugs, "I just told you exactly how you look".

"Are you ready for the party?", he asked the moment he raised his head up, " you don't look like you're ready to party".

Laughing I wave him off, " am not ready yet silly. I just woke up from nap just now", is still lie on the bed without making a move to rise up; am too lazy to do that right now, besides my minds still clouded with the almost real nightmare I had earlier.

"What are you still doing in bed!", he checks his wrist watch, "it's almost nine".

"Nine?", I rise up faster than I would have credited myself to do, "did I miss magic class and dinner?", I can't believe I slept through those things.

Looking at my closed windows; it's my fault I didn't draw the curtains in the morning.

Assuming the window was open with the curtains drawn, I would have noticed the guy passing on time.

"You don't have to worry much about the magic class; the class was cancelled at the last minute, and dinner was as uneventful as a ili mmadu ceremony. They served Ugu soup", he grimace as if saying the name of the soup brings up bad memories.

He's not the only one that hates Ugu soup; we don't hate the soup because of its tastelessness or anything concerning the food. We hate the soup because it was one of the pranks Miss Madne played on the two of us.

Till she left for the next unlucky kid she might tutor, she only played a prank on me twice.

The first one was an accident; I know that based on her stricken her face was when she found out it wasn't Kwofo in the bath, but I.

The second prank, she knowingly did; it was on her last day with me.

I know she heard the conversation I had with my father , and tried to get back to me for the wrong she thinks I did to her.
