With all seven of them seated at the table, it looked like they were on a triple date. Kiki put her arms around Za and squeezed. The waiter came to the table and gave them menus then took their drink orders.
When the waiter left the girls looked at Za. Sandra grinned her eyes sparkled. She reached her hand across the table and took Za's hand.
Wangene smiled gently, "Sweetie, you want to fill us in on what's going on?" her voice was gentle despite the look in her eyes that demanded the truth.
Za cleared her throat. She squeezed Sandra's hand and leaned into Kiki. "So, you guys know how Saulo Mbewe's daughter is on campus, right?"
Everyone's eyes widened. The group collectively held their breaths. Nate watched the girls, as did T. J. and Hakeemudeen. The boys already knew who she was.
"Is she your sister?" Sandra asked excitedly.
Za shook her head 'no', her hair bounced a little with the motion. She bit her upper lip and looked her friends in the eye. "It's me."
