Chapter 4

Erinfolami's Pov.

I opened the door and on looking back I was faced with the devil I call an aunt .

From the door I began to crawl towards her sitted on the sofa.

On getting close to her I greeted her loud enough for her to hear so she would not say I was mumuring to greet her .

*Slap*

Yes it was me that just collected that slap , suprised I held my cheeks that was aching from the pain of the slap and  wanted to protest before she shut  me up saying .

"You devil so you want to destroy my eardrum all in the name of greeting me ehn ?

Because I told you to greet you want to destroy my ears abi ?

Will you get out of my sight and start with your chores immediately .

Getting to my room and pulling of my cloth I changed into my house wear and started my chores from the plates in the kitchen .

After scrubbing and scrubbing I finally succeeded in washing the plates .

Taking the dirty clothes to wash outside .

When I got a call from Erioluwa my bestie.

Picking it .

From her side .

" Hey mumu where  did you keep your phone since I have been calling you now .

Replying I said .

"You know how Aunt Wura is now.

She doesn't want to see me with any phone .

I only got the chance to press it because I am at the backyard ."

We talked for a couple more minutes before she hanged up ther call

After a tiring wash I went to the kitchen to pound yam and make Egusi soup .

After cooking and my aunt assessing all my work and being satisfied with it she allowed me to go upstairs to do my chemistry assignment .

Getting to my room , I sat on the bed and let out a yawn before opening my chemistry textbook .

On opening my chemistry textbook I remembered how I had torn Mazilda's textbook and I am so sure by now she would be crying as the homework given to us is a test that carries twenty marks and she will definitely lose it because of her lack of textbook .

In my mind I thought

Am I a monster ?

Was what I did barbaric ?

Am I actually behaving like a monster right now ?

Starting to feel remorseful then I remembered Eri's words .

"If we are not happy and comfortable no one else is allowed to"

Like on que my heart hardened   and every ounce of remorse evaporated from my heart .

Back to my normal self and mentally scolded my self for even thinking about that .

While my mind was gallivanting around my mind drifted back to the boy I saw that was registering at the receptionist  .

Was he going to join the school .

"No, he will bond the school stupid question .

Someone that was registering , you are asking if he wants to join .

Stupid question."

That was my subconscious mind to me .

Imagine that thing called a subconscious talking to me in that manner .

It is not your fault .

Remind me to always shut down my mind when thinking about something .

My subconscious mind .

I want you to tell me how you are going to do that .

Ignoring the fool I  call a subconscious .

I thought to my self,I wish he is in my class .

I just can not explain my Interest in him but I know I do not in any way have good intentions towards him .

With that I drifted off to sleep .

*******Kelvin's Pov*******

Baby come downstairs breakfast is ready .

Like a hungry boar I descended Down  the stairs on hearing food .

Getting downstairs to see my arranging the table of custard and fruits .

Upon sighting the food my stomach growled.

I know I'm a foodie you don't have to tell me .

Rushing to my mum's side and giving her a peck on the cheeks and quickly sat down to devour the food .

Not before my mom said "kel baby  don't soil your school uniform"

Yeah it is my first day  at my new school and I am kind of nervous.

After eating I went into the car with my mum and off we drove to my new school.

Unsure of what lies ahead of this journey journey.
