Chapter 16
Ayo
Like all normal Open day, we only had four subjects then we were done for the day. Parents started showing up in different attires and some in work suits but don't be alarmed to her some students talking about them not telling their parents about Open day cause as Sola will say..Nah norms. I smiled when I remembered my friend but he didn't come to school today, I just wonder how he will get his results
Now just because he's not here doesn't mean I wouldn't live my life. Mum will say People are not to determine who you are. Be yourself. Yes oo...I replied to my head. I just love listening to myself these days, she sounds more confident.
I was with a few other people doing some work together, I'm almost done with all my assignments for now cause I just want to use this holiday to read and sleeeepppp. I moaned in my mind,who doesn't like sleep?
These days, I do get a lot of weird stares from Tolu for some reason and Michael seems like thin air to me. He walked up to me yesterday to ask about a math assignment and I told him about it but he and Tolu have been acting "un couple like" to me.
As I was thinking, Lara walked up to me. Apparently she's the only one who talks to me and I quite enjoy her company, she also encourages me to talk to her. I do admire her but I don't want to be the cause of her and Tolu's fall out.
"What up mamma." She said, mimicking an American accent.
"Yunno, I do quite find pleasure in the British accent more." I said to her in a British accent I have been working on. Lol.
"Ohh lala." She said like Fancy Nancy Clancy in Disney Junior. "Your accent is quite charming. Practice more and we could meet the Queen." She laughed lightly.
"I'll be delighted if you could attend the ball with me." I got up from my almost finished Geography drawings and extended my hand to her.
"Well how delighted." She blushed in her seat and we both started laughing.
"So what's up this mid term break?" I asked her after our outburst died down.
"I don't know sha." She said dipping her fries inside a pot of ketchup. It still baffles me how she eats these things and she's a model.
"But I'm thinking of having a break, Saturday gigs suck besides I just want to be in a room where I can hear myself breathing yunno." She laughed lightly.
"Don't you like being a part time model? I would love it." I gushed. Fashion has always being my life, from runways to travels and designs.
"Fashion is my life baby gal." She said.
"Me too." I smiled at her.
"Finally someone who get me." She cried while I laughed.
"But what's the point when your passion seems to harm your personal life." She said and I understood.
"Can't you take like a break or something?" I asked.
"How can that happen when you "live" in the same house with your designer." She rolled her eyes, I know she meant Tolu's mom, Madam Flora as she likes to be addressed as I heard and read but her designs are lovely so yes, she will demand such respect.
"You could just stay at my house for a day or two. We can do our homework and bake and.." She cut me shot.
"And eat all the foods I've been craving for." She made a drooling face. "I'm in." She said excitedly.
"I'll ask my mom first o and two you better start your junk list cause you're gonna grow fat in my home ma." I teased her.
"Fatten me up oo" She laughed until I spotted my mom smiling at me through the door. I froze. My mom had always told me that I could bring my friends over but to me I don't just want to stress her or myself being a good hostess so I had to think about what to say before I make a final decision.
"Gotta go, My mom's here." I smiled nervously at her. My report card. I thought nervously again.
"Can I come with you cause I need to collect my report card too." She smiled back.
"Sure." I said while I walked up to my mom. I was wondering why she decided to meet my mom. Maybe she really needed that break. I laughed to myself.
****
I glanced at report card like five times as my mom was reading it. I had read it before when I was arranging my files. 9A's, 2B's and E in Further Maths. At least it's better than the other F's . I tried encouraging myself.
Soon or later, Lara was laughing with my mom while I just smiled back, my mom liked her. I think. My mom told me to call Ire so we could leave. SS3 where writing mock soon and do not have to write tests but they are mostly reading and goofing off so yeah, they are just there.
I walked upstairs and got scared again remembering the Jide incident. I got into the class and I felt relived to see that the classroom was normal. Some people were on their phones, some where singing songs, a few where talking while the rest were just eating food which some students purchase from a food vendor not far from school.
Ire was talking to his friends and when he say me, he got up. I didn't need to tell him that it was time to go home.
I got into the car to prepare myself for what Mommy has installed for me.

I sighed in the car as my sisters carried on with their hamburgers, I didn't blame them for not knowing what a great amount of pain I was going through because they haven't seen me in what the seemed was like forever. They were talking about the movies they have been seeing without me. I feel so hurt. Cough cough.
"How can you guys go to school and watch so many movies?" I asked when they told me like their tenth movie.
"You create time for it big bro." Seun smirked as she sipped her Fanta. I was driving because of so many reasons which I shall now explain.
After my doctor's appointment, I went home to talk to my Dad. He looked well and for some reason, he missed me. We talked and he allowed me to take the car when I asked and I went to pick up my sisters from school cause I wanted to surprise them and take my guys.
"Oh my God, Sola. You're the best." Ola said with his mouth full. I looked at him through the rear view mirror and sighed. I missed him sha.
"This one that you packed all of us like this, are we going to meet your wife ni."Ini chirped in.
"Abi oo" Ola fist bumped him while I just shook my head.
"No we are not and two I don't have a wife or a girlfriend. I don't date."
Everyone in the car all exclaimed "Hmmm" while I rolled my eyes.
"That's what they will say o." Ola acting like a mother.
"Yes o, my dear sister untill they carry Belle come our front." Ini said and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Ola, tell us about Nifemi na." I smirked as I brought up her name.
"Guyy." He said hitting me on the shoulder. Nifemi is just this girl in their class who can talk for Africa if possible but for some reason is not liked by many because she's also wayward with her talk.
"I reject bad thing for Olamide in Jesus name." Ini shouted and I chorused an Amen.
I parked in the school parking lot and remembered that Aunty Dara has collected my result for me, so I will just take it and get home. At least Dad and I were getting along and Ola and Ini are staying over because we do that during Mid term and a few times during vacation but majorly because of what the doctor said. He needs all the love and support he can get. I sighed.

I got my report card and looked for Ayo but saw her nowhere. Untill I spotted Lara, she's the only one who I can say is Ayo's friend.
"Sup." She greeted while I tapped her shoulder.
"Hey, have you seen Ayo?" I asked.
"Ohh, your wife." She smiled at me while I rolled my eyes. "She just left but I could be a helpful birdie." She smiled even bigger.
"Sure, can you give her this." I handed out the black invitation with gold designs all over them but why was I nervous about it?
"Oohh... okay" She sounded like a little girl and then smiled sheepishly at me. For the one hundredth time, Ayo is my really close friend. For now I hope.

Ayo
I told my mom about Lara coming over and she agreed, I'm so happy that she actually didn't get upset about my Further Maths or maybe she is?
I called Lara on WhatsApp around 10pm when I wanted to sleep, she responded after the second ring.
"Hey girl." I could see her smiling as she spoke.
"Guess what?" I said in a sing song.
"Oh please, just spill." She said.
"You can come over." I smiled, all what I could hear was her squealing.
"I'm packing now." She said, "We will talk later."
"Later or tomorrow." I chuckled.
"Yes o, tommorow."
As I ended the phone call, I got a message from Fola. I don't talk to him so what did he have to say to me. But what I saw almost knocked me off my bed.
