Jugsty stared into the eyes of Mrs. Linda Johnson, a black woman of her twenties who was married to Mr. Felix Johnson. She was their next door neighbour and a very nice woman. She and her husband had just moved in about a month ago and had already familiarized themselves with everyone in the neighbourhood, most especially Jugsty and Tyler.
     " Hey Jugsty", greeted Linda.
     " Good afternoon Mrs. Johnson", replied Jugsty," How may I help you?".
     " Is Tyler around?".
     " No. He's yet to get back from school. Is anything wrong Mrs. Johnson?".
     " Oh nothing's wrong dear. He left his earpiece in our house the last time he helped my husband carry our new refrigerator. I just came to give him back".
     " Thank you Mrs. Johnson", said Jugsty as he collected the earpiece.
     " No mention it. I was hoping whether you and your brother would love to watch Brick Bros in the cinema. My husband accidentally brought two extra tickets and hasn't found anyone who agreed to watch the movie with us".
     " Sure thing Mrs. Johnson. I'm sure Tyler would love to come".
     " Okay. We'll pick you guys up tomorrow by 7:30 pm".
     " Okay Mrs. Johnson. Noted".
     " Great then. Have a great day you two", said Linda as she takes her leave
     " Thanks Mrs. Johnson. Have a great day also", replied Jugsty, who closed the door behind her and looks at the earpiece. I'll have to make sure he won't be this careless again, thought Jugsty. He then remembered that he was cooking and rushed back to the kitchen.

     Tyler packed his car outside the house and walked to the door. He greeted Felix who was washing his car and knocked on the door.
     " Come in", said Jugsty's voice from inside.
     He entered to see Jugsty placing his food on the table. Coco rice with eggs and a bottle of coke was waiting for him.
     " Good afternoon bro", said Jugsty," I think you must be hungry after school".
     " You guessed it right bro", said Tyler.
     " Then I shouldn't keep you waiting. Sit down and enjoy yourself".
     " Okay bro", said Tyler. He sat down and took a mouthful of coca rice.
     " How is it?".
     " This is really awesome bro! Your cooking is the best", commented Tyler who continues eating with much delight.
     " Thanks bro. So tell me about school".
     " School wasn't so interesting bro".
     " Don't say that Tyler. School will always be like that sometimes. Believe you me there will be days when you'll miss school".
     " Like you?".
     " Yep. Pretty much. So anything else?".
     " Well there's this new girl who just joined us today".
     " And let me guess, you like her".
     " What? No".
     " I can see it written all over your face".
     " What are you some love doc?".
     " Apparently yes who owns a page called Inspirational Love and Life Quotes on Facebook".
     " That have less likes than Legends Of Fiction?".
     " Hey people love fictional heroes and villains so what do you expect?".
     " I expected at least no large difference in likes between these two pages, like five hundred plus to be exact".
     " Forget it. What about the new girl. Do you like her?".
     " I don't like her. Not that I hate her but that I think she's kinda weird".
     " Love is also weird Tyler".
     " No Jugsty not that. I couldn't read her mind".
     " Because you were blinded by that round tight ass going up and coming down, making you wonder how God made such round shaped ass that your manhood wants to explore".
     " You think this is funny?", said Tyler with a serious tone.
     " Wait so you really couldn't read her mind?".
     " Yes I couldn't".
     " Do you know anything about her?".
     " She's the last survivor from Riversdale who was given a scholarship to study in my school".
     " Riversdale? That infected city?".
     " You know the place?".
     " Technically everyone does", said Jugsty who turns on the tv. A newscaster was reporting the incident through a footage taken from a helicopter. It showed the fallen city with many military soldiers and officials on its wall. There were however no sign of the creatures.
     " What do you plan to do bro?", asked Jugsty.
     " I'm going to try and befriend her so that I can know what the hell is going on", replied Tyler.
     " Okay bro. Just don't let that round big botty blind you from your main mission".
     " Will you stop that Jugsty? Get a life".
     Jugsty laughed," By the way, Mrs. Johnson is asking whether we would love to watch Brick Bros with them in the cinema".
     " Brick Bros? Hell yes. I'm dying to see that movie".
     " Good. They'll pick us tomorrow by 7:30 pm. And take", he said and tossed the earpiece to Tyler," Lose that again and I'm keeping it"
     Tyler smiled and continued his meal. His brother sat on the couch and turned the channel to a food channel he was fond of watching. While Jugsty watched the tele with delight, Tyler was really hoping that he wasn't actually falling in love with Lara.
