Days passed by ... I have gotten used to not having mom around... But definitely living with psychopaths makes one sick... The twins are soo annoying.. They would go on and on quarrelling about irrelevant issues... That's tiring!!!!
"Wake up losers... time isn't your acquaintance"...
That's was Tonia's early morning lines... Although they sleep in the guest room Adjacent mine....we could hear them clearly
"Keep it down bitch!!!! Your breath stinks... learn to wash your mouth before shouting out loud!!!! "... Tony would always give a mean reply...then.. they go on and on till we board a taxi...they are so dramatic and interesting to watch....
Daniel on the other hand would always make sure we study all night long after classes...he doesn't get tired of learning...he would always tease me about the bet and to prove him wrong I have been avoiding Tonia, running away stylishly at the sight of her...Daniel figured this out and has swore to rat me out if I don't stop running...
"I am not running and there is no rat anywhere darling!!!" Would always be my respond..
Troy and Akira have forgiven me my sins and we've become closer than ever...we would all eat lunch together, study during free periods, go over to the main gates after school together...They would atimes come over during weekends for games.
Tonia and Akira seemed to be at longhead with each other...
Akira who is kinda quiet and reserved, would go on and on lecturing Tonia about changing her lousy and threatening nature... Study time are seriously the most tiring when it these two...
Kiki would always say to her...
"You really need to keep quiet girle...I am trying to concentrate here"...
And one of Tonia numerous replies would be
" Well...if you can't stand me asking questions on topics I don't understand, you can block your eardrums or exit the group chat!!"
Tonia on the other hand feels Kira likes me and can't stand a sight of us together...she had spilled this out has we were about to board a bus...
"Kira has been on my throats, ever since we knew each other, I really don't get her...she sees me as a rival who is about to hit on her crush I guess"
" Why would she???, she is more attractive than you...No guy would ever leave her for you"
Troy teased and Daniel laughed out loud
" Well...She is afarid tony might"
" Tony might what!!!???". I asked nonchalantly.
" Daniel is soo correct, I bet she has a crush on Tony and can't stand us been together, she also has a problem with me asking him questions"....
" She is just an overprotective friend Tonia, she doesn't likes me getting distracted when studying" I defended
" Friend indeed, I guess she doesn't like you talking to other girls also"
I was sure she was just hallucinating, Kira has been my friend every since Nursery and surely takes good care of me...I put my earphones so as not to listen to their convo...They are surely possessed!!!...
Tina has been a motherly figure and friend to us, she would always make sure we eat well and get enough rest, so we won't bleed from the nose nor faint due of dizziness.
****************************************************
"Tony, I don't seem to get this topic on masuration can you please explain to me???I am done racking my brain"
I was glad she asked for my help at that moment, I had always thought she knows it all, I was willing to help, when Kira hold my hands and looked up from my textbook which she had insisted on sharing with me since she forgot hers at home...
"You can read another textbook or go to the library to get yours"
Troy had advised but she acted like she didn't hear him say a word...
"He is busy reading as you can see, distracting him with your issue isn't nice, I mean, you would have listened more in class"...
If there was anyone distracting me, then it was her, she was too close, I can smell her hair and her breathe were on me...
"I guess sticking close to him, acting all cute and sharing a small pamphlet called textbook isn't distraction and when did you have a change of name??? I never knew your first name was Tony"
Tonia confronted with her hands akimbo...
"I would be glad to explain things to her, don't bother bout me Kira,I read till dawn anyway"
I assured her and made a move to stand when she pulled me back...
"Don't worry Tony, she is right after all, I shouldn't be sharing a textbook with you,I understand the topic anyway, , I would explain to her."
" That wouldn't be necessary darling, I was only pulling his legs by the way"
Daniel and Tony glanced at each other and then at Tonia who gave them a mischievous smile. Troy was engrossed in the novel he picked from the library, I wondered if he was in our world.
"You know disturbing ones silent moment, when one is engrossed in reading isn't nice rii??"
" Tch!! Tch.. you really are something girle... Engrossed in reading indeed!!! "
Everywhere went silent at once, and I was thankful for the stunt pulled up by them, Kira left me alone to read a P. E textbook she pulled out from her bag.
I checked my wristwatch and it seems time has standstill... we still have an hour till our reading period is over... I looked around and it seems the whole class are preparing hard for the finals...
"I am tired of studying and playing video games right now...I feel like doing something new, maybe run on the bar of a sea letting the breeze take me around or get new dress... I love the smell of them... Going through old stuff sound interesting tho...Argh!!!...This is soo boring"
Tonia grumbled as she throw my maths textbook she had "stolen" from my bag to the floor.
"Will you please keep it down???,You aren't the only one here, if you are tired go ahead and leave the "group chat" darling".
Kira replied her sarcastically...Tony gave Daniel, Troy and I not to intervene...I don't know why but I wasn't going to anyways, they really need to bury their hatchet ...
"I wasn't referring to you darling, I would be pleased if you keep your godforsaken mouth shut and read in peace!!!"
Tonia stamped her hands on the desk, furiously.
"What would you do if I don't sweetheart...ask your "twinny" to help you in beating me up or run your mouth all over like a loose thread"...
Kira sounded clam bit I knew she was shaky... I haven't heard her talk that way before.. she is always that sweet and nice girl
"She would singlehandedly beat me up, if I wear in your shoes"
Tony chuckled without looking up from his book...
"I am really pissed right now, but I am certainly not going to seal your death certificate by taking out my frustration on you"
" Have you decided to be soo rude with your talking or your mama taught you to talk like a lout!!!"
That I knew was the bomb... the roof is about coming down... Even though my mama is gone, I am certainly not going to condole any form of insult towards her
Tony dropped his textbook and signal to his twinny to do her thing...
"This is it!!!, you've asked for what is coming towards you... Am soo going to kill you"
Before we could take control of the situation, Tonia has bounced on her dragging her hair...
"Help!!! This girl has run mad...."
Kira kept screaming, we kept trying to get Tonia off her but Tony made it complicated as he joined hands in beating her up....The whole class had gathered at our table... it wasn't funny but I could hear Daniel laughing out loud....
"Doesn't it feel good, having girls fight over you bro???"
" No one is fighting over anyone, let's get these psychopaths off Kira, before the homeroom teacher comes in"... I exclaimed but it was too late to make a move...
"What the heck is going on here???!!!!, why are y'all making a hell of noise!!!"
I looked around and the rest of the class and everyone except I and my "crew" had settled down...
"It was just a little misunderstanding, Mr Brown trust me..."
I smiled widely at him hoping my charms would work this time, mr Browns kinda trust me and knows nothing would go wrong in my watch...
"I mustn't come over to warn y'all anymore, if I do, you pay for their sins Tony!!"
He left and I felt relieved cus it was a very close one, he would have punished us all if he gets to know what happened... I knew I had to take control and put aside familiarity... I looked back with a straight and serious face... glanced at Kira and Tonia who were hiding behind the door and at the class who were murmuring
"What was all that about???... Must y'all make a hell of noise outta something soo minor... I think I need to go back to Anto of grade six( be the bully)... Tony, Tonia and Akira, y'all are in charge of cleaning the classroom after school for a week, I would inform the management not to send the cleaners here... and for the rest of you, you are banned from saying a word till the end of today!!!"
" Tony, your judgement isn't fair she started it" Kira nagged as she came close to me
"Spare me that!!!, you went to far with your statement"
"Well... Enjoy it while it last bro....The finals are almost at the corner, you would be ripped of your post soon... I wasn't going to reply him. He feels he has what it takes to get pass me at the finals, but that wasn't gonna happen..
"Wu!!! look who is acting like a great leader" Daniel and Troy laughed out loud.
I didn't turn to see Tonia's expression but I knew she was ready to bounce on me at that moment.
