African Family: Part 12

...I had to take my clothes off and prepare properly for church, but all the while, I was thinking of how to revenge Favour...


We finally got to church after a good laugh at my experience that morning


Arriving early enough, we settled in before the service started and the choir, including Favour just took their place beside the pastor's podium


Favour saw me and gave out a mocking smile while I glared angrily at her... Emmanuel noticed and laughed too


The service went on well and Favour seemed so happy while singing with the choir


Turned out she had been selected for the group that would perform at the global youth programme...


Those that were selected were usually transported to and fro by the church for free, their feeding was also free so it was enough reason to be happy


But I had a plan...


We went back home with Favour still fantasizing over the profits she will get from the programme and how she will save the money that daddy will give her for necessity...just incase something comes up


After lunch, she went to her room and was probably on her phone till evening when we were supposed to have dinner...she came out on her own to help mummy in the kitchen


"Were you sleeping?" Mummy asked her


"No, they just created a WhatsApp group for we that are performing in the programme so I was online throughout in order not to miss any updates" Favour explained 


"Okay" mummy replied as they continued preparing the food


After sometime, there was power supply in the area including our house...


Favour rushed to her room and came back after few minutes


"What happened?" Mummy asked her


"My phone is low and we're having an online meeting this evening by 7pm, I have to be online in order to cement my position in the performing group" she said


On hearing this, I went to her room silently and switched off the socket where she plugged her phone, then I left...


Not so long after, we were called to come and eat


I checked Favour's face but it was obvious she hadn't found out...


We ate in silence, Favour still looked very happy, I kept calm...


Around 6:56,we were done eating and Favour rushed to her room to check on her phone


I just went to my room to wait for the drama to start...time is important to the both of us


...TBC...

  ©️ ...At home, everywhere was calm as usual but the air wasn't calm at all Our noses were attacked by the awesome smell coming from the kitchen and I rushed immediately to examine what was cooking... "Good afternoon mummy" I greeted and inhaled sharply Mum noticed me salivating and smiled... "Good afternoon Vic, how was school?" She asked "Fine" I replied quickly "Are you hungry?" She asked while turning the content of the pot which I stretched to see I sniffed again and she laughed... "Yes" I replied "Go and change up then come back and eat" she said I rushed to my room and did as told, went to Favour's room to check on her... she was sleeping with her mouth open I rolled up a piece of paper and put it between her lips, but when she didn't wake up, I added another piece of paper She finally woke up when her mouth was almost filled up, she looked angrily at me and remove the stuff from her mouth "Good aftern...

  ©️ ...I looked up, everyone was looking at me I pretended not to notice the laughter coming from the back of the classroom, I continued writing The teacher stood at my table a little longer, then he continued moving around the class After sometime, he exclaimed again "Some people have already finished" He was standing in front of Daniel who was still writing so I didn't know who exactly he was talking about. I tried to recall even the simplest definitions from basic tech topics but I couldn't I decided to just relax and think about how my holiday will be My thoughts fell on the food I will be eating that afternoon, although I didn't know what mum had cooked but I knew it would be a great meal... I kept thinking of various things because I knew that the exam I was writing was already a failed one so I decided not to stress too much about it. Just when the invigilator gave us the dreaded warning of 5 minutes remaining, I started having flashes of our basic tech cl...

The Black Alien: Anthony Loffredo

  Anthony Loffredo, who calls himself the “black alien,” removed his ears, nostrils and even a few fingers; sharpened his teeth and dyed them purple; and covered his body in extreme tattoos. Now the Frenchman says he’s found one space where he can’t come in peace. “If I want to eat at a restaurant, sometimes the server says I can’t eat on the terrace,” Loffredo, 33, recently told LAD Bible. "You can’t judge someone. No one knows what’s inside someone’s head, why they’re doing that, you need to talk with this person,” continued Loffredo, who swears he’s just a “normal guy” with a family and friends.
