CHAPTER FOUR: RESUMPTION (2)

CHAPTER FOUR: RESUMPTION (2)

"So what is the name of your hostel?" Francis asked as he dished his home made jollof rice from the big cooler mom brought from home, he dished his share into a plate so he can eat from it

"Benevolence hostel!" I answered as I sat inside the car and looked at my brother dishing his share "dish mine also" I said to him

"Didn't you eat at home?" Francis asked not bothering to look at me as he selected a big meat from another cooler

"It doesn't mean" I said to him almost screaming at him, as mom went to get bottle water from the third cooler filled with ice blocks, drinks and bottle water

"I am so thin" Francis said exaggerating too much

Yeah, he has lost some weight but, that doesn't mean he is so thin. At least, he looks healthy

"You are as healthy as a new born baby" I said to him

"Floral, you know you are so good at pulling my legs and please don't try it with me now. I am so hungry that I can't listen to you" he said as he closed the booth and sat beside me in the car, to eat

"You are so wicked, you can't even serve your little sister" I said to him looking at him with my mean face

"Floral, I am so hungry that I don't have time. Enough with me being so rude to you" my brother said as he put a spoon in his mouth

"Didn't you eat in school?" I asked him "You told me that you were always been served good foods in school" I said to him remembering every words he would tell me anytime he comes back from school

"It was a lie, not every time we are being served enough to eat" Francis said as he ate from his meat

"Jeez! Francis!" I said as I looked away from him and got down from the car to get to the booth so, I can get myself a Coke

"Bring one for me!" he said to me

Oh mehn!

"Go get it yourself, I can't because I am thirsty" I said to him and closed the booth before going to sit in the car

"You are being rude!" Francis said to me annoyed as if he should be

"I am not, I just felt thirsty" I said as I drank from the plastic bottle coke

"If you are rude in this school, you will get punished" Francis said as he got down getting his own drink

"Boys are not girls and the other way round" I said to him remembering when he always tells me the punishment received when one is being rude to their seniors

"You will know then" he said as he closed the booth

"Mom, Francis said I will be beaten by my seniors in the school because of some unreasonable reasons" I said to mom who just finished making call

"If they try it, call me. I will make sure they get suspended" mom said to me and this made Francis almost choked from his coke

"Mom, Floral is just being unreasonable with what she said. I said that, if she is being rude, the seniors will either beat her or punish her" Francis said

"Flower, just make sure you aren't rude. This is Nigeria, you don't talk to your seniors anyhow because you will get yourself in trouble, even the teachers won't support you" dad said listening to our conversations

"Tell her!" Francis smiled at what dad said

"Francis, you have to lead your sister to the right way to avoid her from being punished" dad said to him and again, Francis looked at me with a cold face

Jeez... Francis

"Francis, you are so mean"

"Dad, you spoil this girl too much. I can't believe she is my sister" Francis said looking at me with cold face

"Francis, stop looking at me like that! You will make me cry" I said to him because I know fully well that my brother doesn't look at me like that

"Then stop being so spoilt and rude" he said and got down from the car "Dad, did you bring my phone" Francis asked dad as he put his plate inside the basket in the booth

"Yeah, get it from your mom" dad said

Mom gave him his phone and instead of him to sit beside me, he walked to his hostel route

He seems upset

"He just left" I said to dad and dad nodded smiling

"He will be back" he said

I got down from the car and ran after Francis

When I got a hold of him, I hugged him at his back

He stopped and looked at me, then smiled

"I am sorry for being rude, Franc" I said calling him by the nickname I formed anytime I offend my brother

"It is okay" he said and touched my head

"Hey dude!" I heard one of his friends call him

I looked up to see David and Matthew coming towards us

"Hey, remember her?" Francis asked pointing at me as he asked his friends

"Yes of course, she is that your cute sister that we always talk about" Matthew said and stopped in front of us

"Am I seeing double? Isn't she wearing the house wear for girls hostel?" David asked looking at me

"Yeah, she is part of the second batch resuming today" my brother answered his friend obvious question

"She is truly going to have a boyfriend with that her face" Matthew said looking at me with a smile

"She knows the family she is from" Francis smiled knowing fully well that having a boyfriend got to be a secret from my over security parents

"Hey cutie, how are you?" Matthew asked stretching his hand towards me to give him a handshake

I believe I am beautiful since I get many compliments from people, I have this rare ocean blue eyeballs and I am a fair girl with dimples and a cute smile

I am 4"9 for my age and I guess that is too short. Lol!

My brother is 6"2 and he is almost the same height with dad

He is also fair, cute also have dimples and this baby hair with Grey eyeballs

Anytime we are together, we always get attention

"I am fine" I answered Matthew
