African Family: Part 13

..."Jeeesus!!!" I heard Favour shout from her room


I pretended not to hear it and laid down on my bed, while other members of the family went to check on her...


"What happened?"


"Are you okay?"...was all I was hearing


I went out of my room to check on her a few seconds later when I started hearing sobs...


Favour was crying


"What happened?" I asked with a serious look of concern on my face, Favour was already explaining how she plugged her phone and couldn't tell how the socket got switched off


I just kept a blank face but I was trying so hard not to laugh


Time was 7:00 already and her battery was totally flat so there was no way she could join the group's online meeting... meaning she was automatically deselected and would not be joining the choir for the youth programme


Haha, it's now 1-1...prank pass prank


Daddy told her not to worry because he would give the three of us money to go for the programme, but we children knew what it meant to be sponsored by the church...so she remained sad


I let out my laughter immediately mummy and daddy went back to their room


Turns out Emma was an agent too because he also started laughing with me...


Favour stormed into her room in annoyance while me and Emma continued laughing


Emmanuel even brought his laptop to the parlour and played ministrations of our church choir continuously


Favour didn't come out of her room until about thirty minutes later, she headed to daddy's room with a phone


The phone was obviously dad's own so I wondered what she was doing with it...she also seemed to be smiling


I and Emmanuel were trying to understand what was happening, but it became more clear when she got into the room and handed the phone to daddy


"Daddy thank you" she said happily


"Did they still accept you?" That was my mum's voice


"Yes" 


...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...

  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.
