"That little beast, if I get hold of her outside school, am so gonna skin her alive, shameless slut",
Tonia kept saying furiously as we were busy playing our video games, ignoring her, Tony was leading and I wasn't ready to loose guard neither was Daniel....
"I see nothing wrong in having a crush on a guy but must you fight every girl who moves close to him, it makes no sense"
She kept moving around, trying to get our attention which were definitely on our soccer games...
I was about to score a point when my phone rang, Argh!!!, that was annoying.... Reached for my phone in my pants...It was Dad.
"Hello Dad,how is your trip going man???".
" I've been fine my darling, how is twins and Daniel, hope y'all are getting along well???".
" Yes Dad, there is absolutely no problem, how about Mrs meyer????". Glanced at the twins who have been around me ever since they heard my phone ring.
"I am absolutely fine darling, we decided to check up on you, hope you're attending the after classes regularly???"
" Yes ma'am, i am handing the phone over the Tonia now, speak to you later ma'am"
I handed the phone over to her has she happily left the room...
"Hey mom... thank God you called, I was starting to get bored, I couldn't get through to you since you seized our phone before leaving"....
Tony went after her and that left me with Daniel for the first time in weeks...
"I see, you've got a love triangle or a square I mean"
He sneered as he crashed down on the bed
"I have no idea what you are talking about, no one is in a relationship "whatever" you really need to rest, you've been hallucinating lately"
" I observe a lot you know, and I have seen Troy staring at Tonia several times but since you've got no interest in her, he can have her rii ,and you stick to Kira who has a thing for you"
" We are just in grade Ten my darling, ion think it's time we think about such thing"
" Wu!!!see who remembers his class now, you always been claiming a grade six ever since, I think you back to your senses"...
He teased as I lay down beside him....That was true tho, I had written Grade six on our attendance sheet countless times...The principal feels.. ion wanna move forward... His talk about who likes who is becoming tiring lately...ion wanna listen to any no more
"What exactly is your dream, what do you wanna study in college???".
I sure have a way of switching topics
"I am studying law, I wanna be a lawyer and get justice for those who has been deprived of their rights...How bout you bro???"
" Wu!!!Justice getter... well I wanna become a writer, I write songs you know rii???".
" Anyone can become a writer bro, in as much as you have the determination and motivation you need"
I handed him my song book which I hadn't open for days ....He took it, went through it, read out the lyrics of the song I wrote after I met with Kira
"I've been through so many trauma
Which keep on hurting me
Trying so hard to forget them...
oh... I need some therapy....
I can't go on this way,
I can't live life with pain
living like a monster
looking for who to devour"
" This is nice bro!!!, But why exactly do you really write about emotions... Aren't they a little bit too solemn??? "
" A writer writer write according to the state of his heart, what he is thinking off at that point in time, how he feels and all of that"
" And you are depressed at all time??? "
" Not really I tend to write whenever am down and not when I am happy and all"
" Try to write a happy song which I can relate to okay!!! "
" Aye captain!!! "
He sighed and turned his back at me...
"I had a long day today, settling a fight wasn't a easy task"
I wondered what was the real cause if the fight cus I am confused... But I didn't want to talk about it... I know his answers to my "unasked" question anyway... But I wasn't sleepy needed to clear my head if I really have a feeling for Tonia or not... There is this kinda feeling I get whenever I am with her and my mind wanders to her atimes whenever she is far away... I sat up facing Daniel.
" Do you really think Troy as a crush on Tonia??, he is kinda into Kira I guess"
He is family now, I don't need to hide away from him,
"He only sees Kira as a little sister, he takes care of her in a botherly manner and stares at Tonia in a unique way"
He replied without opening his eyes
"Staring at someone doesn't mean you like them bro, it's just a sign of curiosity, you wanna know what he or she is thinking about by reading their eye expression"
" You can just ask rather than stare all day long, Do you alzo stare at their back to clear your curiosity???"
" Well... what do I know about love????"
I have read nothing on love, so I have no idea on what he was talking about
"Urgh!!! I actually thought I was coming here to console a baby who lost his mother but turns out to be a lover who needs to be lectured, how come you got over your mom so fast???"
" She was never around, it's from one business trip to another, I thought we were going to bond since she quitted her job a week before leaving, but i was wrong as usual"
Mom was never there for me emotionally, she only makes sure I eat food she had refrigerated only for me to microwave, made sure I wear nice outfit and tease me about girls... she never really care how I feel or what I feel about things, she was getting better during her one week stay before leaving but I guess that wasn't enough for me to feel her absence since I've got other people doing same for me
"She is really something though, not even a phone call since she left"
" What does she care????!!!"
She doesn't care, I've been expecting her to give me a call since forever, but I guess she has forgotten all about me!!!.
"Don't yell at me bro, Goodnight, I will make sure to lecture you tommorow"
I didn't feel sleepy after the talk with him, I wondered what was keeping the twins so long to return my phone, they are probably having a nice chat with their mom.
Where could mom be at this moment???, what is she up to???. Although she hasn't been the best mom, I cherished the little time we had together, Her early morning yelling, her scolding, her calls to inform she isn't coming home,her teasing. I have pulled up a great show to everyone to prove I have forgotten her, but she still lives in my heart, she is the first person I remember every waking day...But that doesn't mean I would pick up her calls if she ever call.
