"Argh!!!... I have to live with three guys for a whole month!!!"
Tonia grumbled as they moved into my house that early morning...They were dressed in their uniforms already...
"No one wants you around either"
Troy said sleepy, almost knocking the flower table off.
"You have me around darling, you can talk to me anytime you feel bored Sweetheart"...
Tina chipped in with a smile from nowhere as she helped them with their bags
"You will definitely get tired of me Tina.."
We went upstairs and dropped their bags in a room Adjacent mine, which Dad had ordered to be cleaned by Tina...
Looking round the room, Tonia spilled out with disgust in her tone
" I am not sleeping in the same room with Him... Am I???.."
" Obviously, you don't expect him to sleep on the roof.. do you??? "
Daniel who was been silent since we wake up said...
"He can sleep anywhere for all I care and my question wasn't directed to you... but Anto"
She said as she picked up her bag
" Yh sure... Dad didn't leave the key to the other room and Daniel sleeps in mine already"
" That's not gonna happen, there is no way am sleeping with this dangerous bitch... She can do something funny to my skin or my clothes"
Tony screamed from behind.
" This isn't a bad idea anyway... playing with some meat sounds fun..."
"Let me take a look at your room bro maybe I can just scout on the couch there or something"
" There is no couch in his room, no space for a third party, its filled with musical instruments and a study table"
I wonder why Daniel said so.. my room so so big to have a fifth party tho...
"What kind of musical instruments do you have???, I play the guitar and guitar, am not so good with the harp but I can pull up so tricks with it..."
" Hmm...we are running late bro, I would show you when we get back, maybe you can play a string for me after school.. I write songs also"
" That's nice bruh!!!, You sing a song for me when we get back... Promise???"
Tonia exclaimed smiling widely at me
" Yh sure, but don't get your hopes up... Am not too good tho"
" Will y'all keep the talk till when we get back,
we have less than an hour, thirty minutes to frist lesson..."
Daniel warns and we all ran off to school...
***************************************************
"The P.E teacher is so boring, how do y'all cope???"
Daniel complained as we got into the cafeteria....
" He is good tho, you just need to keep your ears opened cus your eyes are definitely getting closed whenever he is teaching and go back to the textbook after class"
We burst into laughter at Kira's statement...
The whole class doze off whenever is in class... his lectures sounds like a lurluby...
"I don't doze up y'all know rii, I relate to him so well"
All eyes were on Troy as he "bragged"
"Why would you when you were probably engrossed in a novel"
Tonia was right... he doesn't listen to certain classes.. I wonder how he keeps up with his third place on the grade list....
We moved our food to a vacant table and Tonia was about to sit next to me, Kira dropped her food on the table hurrily and sat down while Tonia smiled mischievously
"Can you move a little bit Tony???"
I moved nonchalantly and she sat right next to me...
"You could have just sit next to Daniel tho"
Kira poutted her mouth , downcasted and all....
"Why???Do you have a problem with me sitting here???"
"No!!!,I was just saying..."
Daniel kept staring at me but I didn't know what message he was tryna pass by....
"Why don't we all go to the kens one of these days, we need to take a break from all tjhese stress of studying and all"
Troy suggested as we all stood to get back to class...Akira faced me and said timidly
"How about today after school???, my schedule is Free"
"Where is the Kens by the way???"
Tonia asked placing a hand on my shoulders...
" It just down the street, maybe a 0 point two kilometer walk from school"
I said playing with her hands nonchalantly, I just felt like touching her in all place but that doesn't feel right
" They have amazing games and karaoke trust me, you gonna love it there"
Troy replied with great joy...Kira came over and took her hands in mine gently...
"Today after school it is right???".
"oops!!!, I don't think so, he promised to sing me one of his songs while playing the guitar and we also have to read all night long after that"
Tonia explained, dropping her hands from my shoulders.
"No one discussed about reading all night long darling!!!"
Daniel retort and tony stared at her hardly..
"Do y'all live together????!!!"
Troy and Kira asked as we got into the classroom
"Yh, we do, since today, mr Williams and Mrs meyer are outta town so they are staying with us for a short period of time!!!"
Daniel explained as he sat on his seat....
Kira was about to say something when the English teacher came in... it was time for me to relax... I don't listen to lectures on english... they are rather to boring for me... I rested my back and closed my brain till the end of the class.
***************************************************
My phone kept ringing during private classes but I didn't want to disrupt the flow of knowledge I was receiving at that point... Took a glimpse at it and it was Kira calling... I wasn't surprised... she calls almost everyday after school and we do have a very long conversation which lasts for hours... she was beginning to grow on me untill Daniel and the twinny came into the picture... Decided to call her after class...
"Hey kiki, Am sorry I didn't respond to your calls, we were still at the private academy"
" It's okay Anto, I just wanted to check on you, that's all"
" Oh... thanks, How are you by the way???"
" I am fine, I was just wondering if you're
free tonight, it been long since we hanged
out together you know"
I knew she was hurt by Tonia's reply to the idea of going to the Kens, and I am certainty free after fulfilling my never made promise to Tonia,
"Yh sure, where should we meet???"
"For real???... Florals park by 8???"
" 8 is fine by me"
" Ok.. I will be expecting you"
She sounds so excited that's a sign that I must keep my promise...
"Who were you talking to???"
Daniel asked from nowhere, I had left them in the class after I was done with my exercise...
"Kira, we decided to meet...."
"Oh... okay... play your cards right darling, Go for whom your heart beats for alright"
I wasn't sure if that statement was directed to me, cus the matter of the heart doesn't correspond with me meeting Kira, he is such a weird fellow... The Twinny came out looking all stressed... Tonia took my hand and Daniel's in hers and Tony joined, forming a straight line and we headed home quietly...
****************************************************
We got home exactly 6:30 into Tina's warm hands...she said with a smile on her face
"How is school today darling???, Y'all looks stressed out, you must really be famished"
" Yh... Today was so stressful, Schooling is absolutely tiring"
Tonia complained as we went upstairs to change our clothes... Been tired would be an understatement cus we didn't even have the strength to say a word to each other
We ate a lunch of rice and chicken stew which was prepared by Mrs Gracia, i wonder if she talks at all... she is always mute... even when a question is directed to her, Tina does the talking...
"I haven't forgotten about your promise to sing us a song bro".
Tonia said as she sat back when she was done with eating up her food....
"I haven't either, we can build a band together if you're really good you know??"
Tonia laughed hard at his statement....
"That's one dream that would fall apart if you try realizing it"
" No one asked of your opinion please...you would always have a bad impression anyway"
Daniel dropped his spoon and glared at them
" You two shouldn't start please... i don't have the strength to listen"....
"Starting a band is actually on eof my dreams, if you are equally good why not???"
I said and made my way upstairs while they followed behind...I opened my room and the twins gasped really hard...
"WOW!!! This is more of a small living room... i thought Daniel said there isn't much space in here"....
" This is the exact opposite of my room, so neat, unique and in order, i love the paintings of Animals on the wall"
Daniel took my guitar and handed it over to me...
"Let's see what trick you can perform with
this, you talking of raising a band makes me
. excited"
" Yh Tony, play us on of your songs... i wanna
hear you sing"
" Show me what you've got, let's see if we can start our band right away"
I felt motivated by their words, placed the guitar round my neck smiling
"Don't be too excited tho, it might not be as good as you expected..."
" Anything you do is good to me darling"
I wasn't sure if i should take that as a word of encouragement or one from her heart.
I decided to play them the song i wrote the night mom left, I knew I might break up in between the song but I needed to face my fears and do what I enjoy the most... Allowed myself to be swayed by emotion and started playing the guitar looking at their expression which I was satisfied with then I started with my lyrics....
"I wish I was a bird....
And fly away from here.....
to the darkest part in life
where one could fine me
I feel caged...
I feel tied down....
Yet no one cares ..How i feel. ...
I don't want any one around me...
Y'all can leave already".
