CHAPTER NINE: ROSA?!
CHAPTER NINE: ROSA?!
“Jeez… That’s cool” I heard Grace say
I turned to see Rosa, Kate and Grace looking at us
“Is that your car?” Kate asked me but before I could answer, I entered into the car and the driver closed the door before entering the driver seat
I whined the car window down “It isn’t mine but for that girl called Margaret” I answered before whining it up
“What do they want?” Margaret asked as the driver drove the car away from the school compound
“I think Grace is just surprised to see us entering your car” I answered as I removed my bag from my back and put it on my lap
“Strange and I guess she is like, my momma never got to by this car how can they?” Margret said imitating Grace’s voice but not exactly the way Grace sounded. We both laughed at the joke
“Yeah, I saw the shock on their faces even when she asked who owns the car?” I said as I turned to look at her already feeling comfortable in the car
“Give my driver your address so we don’t end up lost” Margaret said as she brought out her phone from a small bag she kept in the car
I gave the driver my address before looking back at Margaret
“Here, I need your number” she said as she stretched her phone towards me
I typed in my number and gave her back her phone
“I am sure there will be rumours tomorrow” she said as she kept her phone back into her small bag
“You bet there will be” I said as I turned to look at the window to see if the driver is passing the right path to my house
“I love for you to come to my house this coming weekend for a sleepover” Margaret said as the driver stopped the car in a parking spot near my house
“I will make sure to come, don’t forget to chat me up friend” I said as I backed my school bag and got down from the car
“Don’t forget to reply back, pal” she said as I smiled at her before closing the door
I waved at her as the car drove off
I went into my house since I got the spare key to my house
It seems mom is out again for a night shift since she works as a nurse in a popular general hospital in this city
I closed the door behind me, went upstairs to my room. I dropped my bag on my bed, walked into the bathroom after putting off my clothes
“What a day!” I said as I came out of the bathroom, walked to my closet to change into a light gown since it is early July and a month of summer
I picked up my phone and switched it on as I went to the kitchen to get something to eat since I am very hungry
I dropped my phone on the Island as I brought out the large size of Oreos biscuits from the kitchen cabinets
I love Oreos, m and m, mention things that contains chocolates, I love them all
I closed the cabinet and took the biscuit and the phone from the island and walked to the living room, I sat on the couch as I opened the biscuit packet and started eating from it as I switched on my phone to see any messages I missed especially the one from my dad, brother and my best friend who is in England
Indeed, there were and there were from Rosa and an unknown number which I am sure is Margaret since she is the person I gave my number to
I opened my best friend message and read what he sent ‘I am coming back to America one or two years later :)’
Is that even supposed to be good news when I haven’t seen this guy since grade four?
‘Good for you, I really miss you. Does Rosa know about this?’ I sent back and almost as if he was waiting for me to reply, he answered with another message
‘I lost her number, don’t worry when I come it will be a surprise to the two of you. I hope you two are not having any problems’ he replied
Ouch! He lost her number, I am sure Rosa will be annoyed if she hears that and about Rosa and I having problem…
‘We are not having any; you better focus there and don’t worry about us’ I sent to him before leaving his chats for the unknown number
I immediately saved the contact and saw the message Margaret sent, she sent me her house address… Well, nothing bad about it since I will be going there this Friday
I left her chat to reply my other brother, James and my dad. Dad says he is coming home on Sunday, not a problem for me since he always does that
I then entered Rosa’s chat wondering why she will be sending me message when we just met in school
‘Sorry I chose them over you’ she sent and now she is making me feel bad… like why is she putting it in that way. So annoying!
“No problem!” I assured her
‘No worries it is okay for you to have friends’ I replied her
‘Thank you for the understanding’ she replied back almost immediately
‘No problem’ I replied back wondering where this is going since she never chats me up if we had met that day
‘Can I ask a question?’ she replied back
As if I knew she was going to ask a question, I just hope the question she is going to ask is not going to be cringe or anything related to Margret and me ‘Go on!’ I replied her question
‘Who owns that car you and Margret entered after school hours?’ she replied back making me flinch
What kind of question is that?
Out of all the questions, this?!
