Inside the house of the Clifton's
Eula was welcomed by her step mother with a warm smile on her face
{Eula how are you, you grew up to be so beautiful, hope the journey wasn't so stressful, dinner is ready go wash your hands so we can eat} without letting her say a word Elizerbeth rambled on and on
{why don you show her to her room first so she can freshing up before dinner} Rhonda caught in as he gestured fo his son to take Eula's logage up to her room
{yes yes yes please forgive my manners I will show you to your room} Eula gave a slight nod and followed Elizerbeth up the stairs with Ricky carrying her suitcase behind them,
reaching the second floor of the house Elizerbeth ushered them into the second room on the right side of the hallway
{sorry we didn't have enough time to prepare the room but I did my best to make it comfortable for you}
{thank you aunty}
the smile on Elizerbeth face froze for a while but she quickly nodded her head
after placing the logage in the room Ricky turned to Eula with a smile on his face he introduced himself to her {my name is Ricky and it's nice having you here} thank you she replied and Ricky went on....
{would you like to check out the streets tomorrow cause the boys and I have a football game you can tag along}
{ummmm yeah I still have to purchase somethings for school and I need someone to show me around, thank you in advance}
{you're welcome sis}
Elizerbeth watched the two interact and she felt a little uncomfortable
Ricky always liked to engage in conversations and try to invite his sister to do some random activities but Roosevelt never liked it so she always told him off directly or indirectly, to her he was just a child and couldn't tolerate him being around her
knowing that her son was going to treat Eula in the Same way did not sit right with her
Eula and Ricky continued with there chat forgetting that Elizerbeth was also in the room
{so you play football}
{ yeah I don't mean to brag but am pretty good at it}
{tsss oh please} rolling her eyes, she sat on the bed
{I'm the MVP of the school's league baby and you just have to wait until tomorrow to know how amazing I am}
{oooohhh I really hope so}
{how about you, play any sports}
{I played tennis in school}
{really I taught you would be in cheerleading}
{yah right I wasn't even the list beat interested in cheerleading like where is the fun}
{thank God you speak my language, Roosevelt cried for two whole days because she didn't make the cheer team, like I don't understand why waste precious tears for such a thing as cheerleading, why!}
{hey don't be like that, cheerleading is as important as basketball and football}
{tsss what you don't mean that right}
{I do mean that, I may not necessarily be interested in it but that doesn't mean you can deem it as unimportant, okay imagine playing a game without the cheer team who is going to build up the atmosphere and players need to be motivated inorder to play better }
{yeah that makes sense plus there are pretty girls too}
{Ricky !}
{haha am just kidding okay }
{yah right just kidding you say} rolling her eyes that was when she remembered that Elizerbeth had been standing in the room the whole time
{Ummmm I will go freshing up now please excuse me} Eula said as she walked towards her suitcase and opening it, she felt a little aukward knowing that Elizerbeth was steering at her the whole time
Ricky smiled and walked out of the room
{come down once you are done for dinner okay}
{Alright aunty }
after the mother and son left, Eula haved a sigh, she had expected the worst when coming here but the Clifton's were not as she had expected at least for now, instead they were so welcoming
~
{Eula come sit hope you like fajitas, umm there is some baked turkey, salade and cornbread....} Elizabeth went on to list the dishes on the table as Eula sat down
placing a napkin over her lap she thank her with a smile
{Roosevelt put down the phone it's time to eat} Elizabeth reprimanded her daughter, she had told them to behave since there sister was home for the first time
{mom! you don't have to yell at me, we have been sitting on this table for 15 minutes doing nothing, all I could do is to be on my phone.....}
{is that how you speak to me, you...} her words trailed off as Rhonda held her hand that was place on the table
{Roosevelt your mom just wanted you to put the phone down and eat or dinner is going to get cold}
{alright everybody help yourself }
Eula silently analyzed them, Ricky on the other hand was quietly helping himself with some food like nothing of what happened was new to him
dinner went on smoothly afterwards
Rhonda asked Eula some questions and made suggestions of things she could engage in before school resumes, Elizerbeth and Rickey cleared the table while Roosevelt excused herself as got an incoming call
~
{I can't stand her, she is just so annoying, like why don't she just mind he busy.... she never missed a chance to show who the boss is....
yeah can you believe that ..she acted that way in front of my dad's daughter.... ugh please let's just talk about something else, I'm getting piss of just talking about that woman} Roosevelt complained over to phone to her best friend Olivia Smith
{... OMG we need to go shopping I don't have what to wear to Zack's party tomorrow night....}
Eula who was walking up the stairs over head Roosevelt talking on the phone and she made a mental note *{she is a drama queen and i had to avoid her else i wouldn't have peace in this house }
