Feyi

"Maybe we should just go to circle mall." I sigh.

"If I slap you through this phone ehn, that circle mall that is small and stuffy, me I'm not going there o." Nmesoma hisses.

"Calm down naw." Bridget's melodious laughter echoes through the phone, "But I actually get Nmeso's point, that circle mall is just not it, besides, it's in Lekki, me I cant be going to Lekki from Surulere, let's just go to Novare."

I groan internally, because we want to go out, see stress, we've been on this video call for almost an hour.

Had meaning there was school, it would have been better, but noo, it's today the school chose to renovate something so they said we shouldn't come to school today which is Thursday and tomorrow. So till Monday.

"Are you listening to yourself?." I ask Bridget, "First of all, you said you don't want to go to circle mall because it's far from Surulere, Is it now Novare mall that is in Ajah that is near?, Second, why are you even stressing?, shebi Lanre always picks you up."

"I swear, it's like I'll get a boyfriend soon o, because all the benefits that comes with it ehn." Nmeso says.

"Mumu." I burst into laughter.

"You girls have issues sha, shebi we all agreed to go to Palms, you people are naw saying another thing." Timi rolls his eyes.

"Timi is right, oya we are going to Palms...Lanre, are you sleeping?." Bridget asks.

I withhold a laughter, he has been sleeping since, he hasn't even said anything.

"Nooo." He groans "I've been listening."

Yimu.

"Where's Dieko?." Timi asks.

"She's coming...Nmeso, shebi you're still picking us up?." I ask again, me I don't want to hear story o, she'll naw come and say something happened.

"Yes naw."

"Oya come fast." I look up at my wall-clock, the time reads 11am "Once it's 1pm, my mum won't allow me to leave this house."

"Ahan, I'll be there before 1 naw."

I hear the front door open, that must be Dieko.

"I think Dieko has come, we'll see you guys later" I press the red button ending the call.

∆∆∆∆∆
Dieko
I open the front door and step in shutting it behind me, Aunty Modupe is sitting on the sofa pressing her phone, she's wearing a long brown Ankara gown, her natural hair is neatly plaited in the 'shuku' style.

"Ekaaro ma (Good morning ma)." I kneel down smiling.

"Ahan, dide, omo dada, bawo ni? (Stand up, good child, how are you?)."

"I'm fine ma." I stand up.

"How is everybody?, hope mama is fine."

"Everybody is fine, grandma is okay."

I really liked Aunty Modupe, she was so nice to me even though we weren't even related by blood, it's her husband that is my mum's elder brother.

"You're going out with Feyi, shey?."

I nod.

"Both of you must come back before 6pm o, not the one that you'll come back by 8 and start begging me, I'll flog both of you."

I giggle "I know ma, we'll be back early."

"Good, I know you are a good girl, it's that your cousin, please talk some sense into her or I will have to do it myself and you know me I won't use my mouth."

I nod again not even knowing what to say.

"Go and meet her upstairs, tell her once it's 1pm, she's not leaving this house again, she should better know what she's doing."

"Okay ma, thank you ma." I say again before climbing the stairs, I don't bother knocking, I just open the door and walk in, she's sitting in front of the dresser doing her edges.

"Ahan, aren't you dressed yet?, Nmeso will soon come with her driver o."

"I'm dressed naw." She stands up smiling at me.

"Ehn?, are you sure?." I look at her unsurely.

"Yes naw."

Is this girl okay?, my eyes rake over her outfit, a red tank top and a pair of ripped bum-shorts, her hair is neatly packed in a bun and her edges are neatly done, she looks so fine...it's just the outfit.

"Nice joke, Feyi." I laugh, "Abeg, go and change before Nmeso gets here."

"What are you saying?, this is what I'm wearing naw."

"Ah, Feyi, you want your mother to murder you shey?."

"Abeg, she can't do anything."

My jaw drops open.

"Umm, okay naw, lets be going."

She takes her purse and leaves the room, I follow closely behind her.

When we descend the stairs, I see Aunty Modupe still sitting there but now one of Feyi's elder brothers, Niyi, has joined her.

"Ahan, Dieko, how far?, I didn't know you were around." He grins.

"Yeah, Feyi and I are going somewhere."

"Oh, okay." He returns his eyes back to his phone.

I wonder when he's going back to school. Feyi has three elder brothers, fine hot ones o, The first one, Segun, is in his final year in LUTH, then Tobi, is in his final year in UNILAG, then Niyi just recently got admission into LASUU. Tobi is sha the finest, he has the six packs and everything, if not that he's older than me with like five years, coupled with the fact that he's my cousin, I would have gone for him o.

"Mummy, we're going." Feyi announces.

Her mum looks up from the novel she's reading for the first time since we got downstairs

"Ki lo n wo yi? (What is this you're wearing?)." She asks.

Shebi I said it.

"It's clothes, mum."

"Did you just answer me like that?."

"Shebi you asked what I wore?."

Umm, let me just sit down abeg, because I'm sure the slap Aunty Modupe is going to land this girl is going to be very resounding.

"Did you just talk back at me like that?, is it because I've stopped beating you?, I still have my long cane in my room o."

"But mummy, what is wrong with what I'm wearing?."

"Can't you dress properly like a human being?, look at what your cousin is wearing." She gestures to me

I look down at my purple long-sleeved cold shoulder top and three-quarter jeans.

"I have the right to wear what I want to wear."

Osheyyy, ahan, this babe is brave o, I can't even try this with my mum.

"Ahan, clap for yourself...if you don't go and change right now ehn..."

"Mummy, I don't want to change, this is what I want to wear."

Umm, okay naw.

"Oluwaloniyi, see your sister o, aren't you going to say anything?."

"Mummy, what do you want me to say?, Feyi is not a child naw, she's sixteen, let her wear what she wants to wear abeg."

Her mother's jaw drops open.

I hold in my laughter, omo, this her brother ehn.

"So that's what you'll say ehn?, you've planned with him ehn."

"Mummy I did not plan anything o, he's saying the truth."

"What truth?, don't make me twist that your mouth, oya, before I close my eyes and open it, go upstairs and change into something less exposing, I'm not raising an ashewo."

Feyi grumbles before climbing the staircase.

Nawa o, this her mother ehn, she has lost her touch o, I was really anticipating that slap.

God knows what is wrong with Feyi?.

I hear a horn outside.

"Feyi, Nmeso is here o!." I shout.

No reply.

Great.

God knows how long she'll take just to change.
