..."What's that one na?" I asked, displeased by his words


"The window was reflecting everything you were doing so daddy possibly saw what you were doing before you switched tabs" he explained


I didn't know what to say...my mind did not even get to that aspect, I just wanted to play games as at that time


Well, I ended up playing myself...


"So what are we eating this night" Emmanuel asked 


"I don't know o, mum prepared fruits salad and I don't think we will eat anything else"


"Okay, but I'm really hungry sha"


"As usual na" I taunted him while he walked out to his room


I just took my book, social studies, and started flipping through until I slept off


I was woken up by my brother's voice, he sounded quite excited, I went out to meet him, everyone was out too and my sister was on a call...


"What is it?" I asked Emma


"It's uncle Fred, he said he would come over in August" he replied


Immediately, my face lit up too


Uncle Fred is my mum's brother, he's our fave because he always shows up with lots of gifts and we expected this one to be as good as his former visits


Favour gave me the phone "Uncle Fred wants to speak with you"


I gladly took the phone


"Hello, good evening uncle Fred" I greeted


"Vicky how are you?" He asked


"I'm fine are you coming back next month?" I hurriedly asked


"Yes, what should I buy for you?" 


I thought for a moment before I decided "sneakers"


"Okay, I'll get them for you" he replied


I thanked him in advance and happily gave mummy the phone, I started dancing with excitement but everyone seemed to be quiet... Emma had a look of shock on his face


I paused


I then looked back at mum and discovered that the phone was on the floor, smashed


...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.
