African Family: Part 14

...I and Emmanuel looked at each other in surprise as Favour came out of our parents room smiling...


She still beat me...still 1 - 0


She went into her room without even looking at us, I looked at the time... almost 9:00 pm, that was when I remembered I had exams the next day which was Monday...


I went into my room immediately and started preparing for school ahead of the next morning... this habit had been forced on me by my mum...


She would always made sure I had set my uniform, underwear and bag ahead of the next morning, I was used to it now.


After everything, I laid on my bed thinking about what happened earlier, and how Favour had gotten hold of dad's phone without us knowing...


Favour found her way back into the youth camp choir...she would surely have enough money after the programme but she is very stingy, ughh


Emmanuel was still playing choir songs in the parlour...seems like he has slept off, daddy will soon wake him up specially...


I got up early the next morning before everyone else, I did the necessary things in preparation for school before others woke up


We had morning devotion as usual and I had breakfast while dad got ready for work...then I had to wait for dad to finish eating before we set out for the day...


Dad dropped me off as usual, I waved him goodbye and went straight to where I secretly revised before exams...


I wanted to do very well this term so I usually missed school assembly in order to read more


The school also had an extra two hours between assembly and the starting of exams for students to revise, so I had two hours and thirty minutes altogether...


I read my social studies note intensively and I had almost crammed the entire note...I was well prepared.


Then the bell rang off, meaning we had twenty minutes till the start of exams


I packed my bag and went to my class, everyone was busy reading and asking questions while I walked confidently to my seat


Dan, my seat mate looked at me...


"Victor, where do you stay every morning that you miss assembly like this?" He asked


I just shrugged


"Anyways, you should have heard the new development na"


I looked at him...


"What development" I asked


"So you don't know, the timetable was just updated this morning...no social studies today, we're writing basic tech"


...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.
