CHETA

(Walks into the dining room)

Hey, guys, what did I miss?

ELLA

A lot, I watched Uche Checkmate Efe for the first time in my life.

What are you hiding?

KOME

That's none of your business just give it back.

BEMA

No.

KOME

Bema, stop I'm not joking.

"Isio attempts to light a stick of F8."

NGOZI

ISIO

(Turns to Ngozi)

What does it look like I'm doing?

KOME

Isio, no na.

(Collects the smoke from her)

You know everyone is out there.

What if someone walks in here?

ISIO

Then we should lock the door.

(Note the weird look from them)

What guys? I haven't smocked today.

I can't help it any longer.

KOME

Can't you see there is a bigger problem here?

You are getting too addicted to these drugs.

ISIO

Abeg abeg, don't start, Kome.

What's the meaning of that, na?

NGOZI

Guys let's not fight, please.

Isio, abeg you fit smoke am later.

"Isio sighs and walks out of the room."

KOME

Did I do anything wrong by telling her not to smoke in my room?

BEMA

No, you didn't.

KOME

Then why is she acting that way?

She does it all the time.

NGOZI

Because you called her an addict.

KOME

Well, she could pass for one.

BEMA

Doesn't mean she wants to hear it from you.

KOME

Abeg, make she go jor.

(Sits on the bed)

BEMA

You and your bad mouth.

KOME

Better stay your own.

Oh, goodness can't it just be the weekend already?

(Signs and gets up from the bed)

"Bema comes out of his bedroom and walks slowly to the bathroom; he sluggishly opens the door only to find a necked stranger lady taking a hot shower."

"Bema and Faith gaze angrily at each other "

Mrs. IWEBEMA

That's enough, children.

(Turns to Bema)

Apologies to her.

BEMA

What?

Why should I?

I wasn't aware someone was coming over.

FAITH

Didn't you hear the sound of the shower?

A wise person would knock before entering.

BEMA

Excuse you?

I should knock in my own house.

Mrs. IWEBEMA

(Turns to Bema)

That's enough.

Apologies to her!

BEMA

But why?

It wasn't my fault I wasn't aware that you invited a stranger to our home.

Mrs. IWEBEMA

Maybe if you had come home early last night, you would have met her during dinner.

BEMA

Still, you should have told me sooner.

Now I have seen things I can't unsee.

Mrs. IWEBEMA

Mr. Man just apologizes to her.

BEMA

Fine!

(Turns to Faith)

I'm sorry.

That was the day I knew her beautiful your heart was, and nobody has ever made me feel so safe as you did.

EFE

Where is Cheta?

UCHE

I tried reaching him it didn't go through we were supposed to meet at my place.

"Isio Gazes at Faith from across the hall"

BEMA

What's wrong with you?

Do not look at her.

ISIO

I can't help but admire her hair.

(Gazes at Faith.)

NGOZI

There is no way that is her natural hair.

BEMA

I think it is.

Her Mum is a half-cast.

ISIO

Wow, that explains why she's beautiful.

BEMA

(Rolls his eyes)

Oh, please.

NGOZI

You don't seem pleased that she's around.

BEMA

Should I be?

ISIO

At least you will have someone to talk to and keep you company.

Besides you were the one who said you are mostly bored at home.

BEMA

(Picks up the bottle of juice in front of him)

That doesn't mean I appreciate the presence of someone who is unnecessarily rude.

NGOZI

(Opens her lunch box)

Bema, relax.

She's a rich man's daughter who might not be used to a change of environment.

I'm sure whatever happens is just a reaction to change. I don't think it's about you.

BEMA

I don't care, Ngozi.

That's not an excuse to be rude, na.

Isio's Father is loaded too.

Do you see her acting all bossy and arrogant?

ISIO

Hey, I might not be arrogant, but I have my issues too.

Just cut the girl some slack who knows she may not be as bad as you think she is.

BEMA

Really?

You know what, I'm done talking about this.

(Turns to his food.)

NGOZI

Where the hell is Kome self?

ISIO

Ahh, is that a trick question?

BEMA

She's obviously with that English teacher of a person.

"Isio gets up."

NGOZI

Where are you going?

ISIO

I need to confirm for myself if that hair is real or not.

BEMA

That's your business but keep her away from me that's my own.

"Isio walks towards where Faith is sitting."

"Mr. Daniel notices Kome's long face"

Mr. DANIEL

You have been too quiet what is the problem?

KOME

It's nothing, I'm fine.

Mr. DANIEL

(Pulls her closer to himself)

Hey, why are you lying to me it's obvious something is up with you.

KOME

It's nothing much I'm just a bit sad about my brother.

Mr. DANIEL

What about him?

KOME

Well, he is leaving the country today.

He got a scholarship to study abroad.

Mr. DANIEL

Wow, that's good.

Shouldn't you be happy for him?

KOME

I am really but I'm not used to him not being around.

Mr. DANIEL

(Smiles)

I get that I felt the same way when my twin sister left for London a few years back, but as time passed, it got easier.

So, relax you will be fine.

KOME

Sure, I will.

(Smiles at Mr. Daniel)

So, I got you something?

Mr. DANIEL

Really?

What's that?

KOME

(Unzips her school bag)

Close your eyes.

Mr. DANIEL

Why?

KOME

Just close your eyes, jor.

Mr. DANIEL

Hmm, okay.

(Closes his eyes)

KOME

You can open them now.

Mr. DANIEL

(Gazes at the box of watch in front of him)

What?

This is expensive, Kome.

Where did you get the money to buy this?

KOME

From my savings?

Mr. DANIEL

What?

Return it, please.

KOME

Hey, relax it's not that expensive and besides my brother gave me some cash before leaving.

Mr. DANIEL

Hmm, how much is it?

KOME

(Leans closer to him)

You know I'm not going to tell you that.

Mr. DANIEL

Hmm, fine but still you shouldn't have.

There is a lot you could have done with that money.

KOME

I know but I just wanted to do this.

Try it out.

(Brings out the watch from the box and places it around his wrist)

"A student walks into the classroom, and Kome quickly moves away from Mr. Daniel."

STUDENT

Sir, you sent for me.

Mr. DANIEL

Yes, I did.

Has everyone submitted their assignment to you?

STUDENT

No, sir.

Mr. DANIEL

Please have everyone submit and bring them to my desk in the staffroom before school closes.

STUDENT

Okay, sir.

Mr. DANIEL

That would be all.

"The student walks out of the classroom"

KOME

I just hope these cameras don't capture us.

Mr. DANIEL

No, they won't.

They won't reach this angle.

KOME

Are you sure about that?

Mr. DANIEL

Yeah.

KOME

Do you like the watch?

Mr. DANIEL

I love it.

Can we eat now?

KOME

Sure.

"Frank turns to Dayo."

FRANK

So what are your plans?

Are you going to confront your Mum about this?

TEGA

Bro, I think you should oh.

This thing is affecting our business, and you know say this cash they important to me.

FRANK

(Turns to Tega)

Are you serious?

Approaching her might make matters worse and let's not forget she did this intending to protect you, Dayo.

Also, just because she knows of Sophia's involvement with drugs, doesn't mean she is aware you are involved. And confronting her might spoil things.

DAYO

So, what do you suggest we do?

FRANK

I think we should lay low for now and let's not forget, Principal Iwebema is desperate more than ever to figure out who is bringing drugs into her school.

TEGA

Hell, no we cannot stop!

We might lose customers to someone bold enough to break the rule. I won't allow anyone to steal my customers. We can't allow it, Dayo!

FRANK

No one will dare do that, Tega.

And it's just for a short while then we are back to business.

But for now, it's too risky.

TEGA

Are sure this is about risk for you, or you are just trying to protect your interest?

FRANK

What's that supposed to mean?

TEGA

Your woman who has refused to attend any of our gatherings.

Who knows if you are making us stall just to keep her away from us.

(Turns to Dayo)

By the way, you have to do something about this since Oga here doesn't have the balls to get things done.

DAYO

(Turns to Frank)

If she doesn't make it to our usual meetings this weekend, I will take matters into my own hands.

And trust me, the outcome might not be pleasant.

"Frank gazes at Dayo who appeared serious."

Dr. IKE

Wow, that's good news, then.

It's good to know you are not leaving us soon.

All I can say is that time will tell if you deserve their support.

For now, enjoy it while it lasts.

Excuse me

(Walks out of the scene alongside her folks)

Mrs. IWEBEMA

(Turns to Dr. Ike)

Why does she despise me so much?

"Chairman walks in"

CHAIRMAN

Because she desires what you have.

And she will get it if something like this ever occurs again.

Mrs. IWEBEMA

I apologize for everything that happened, Sir.

I promise to live up to your expectations and not let you down again.

Hmm, I see.

Why you dey do like this na?

CHETA

(Turns to Uche in anger)

Don't you dare!

Don't try and make me feel worse than I already am. You do this all the time.

Read my lips. I overslept which is something anyone can do.

UCHE

Guy, I know but...

CHETA

Then why are you making a big deal out of this?

I know I shouldn't have but I did and I'm sorry.

UCHE

What exactly is going on with you, bro?

You have been acting weird.

CHETA

I'm fine!

What we should be worrying about is what to tell Tiga and others when they ask about Efe's whereabouts.

"Ella walks in."

ELLA

And whatever it is, we have to figure that out as quickly as possible.

(Sits opposite Cheta and lights a stick of F8)

Other workers are beginning to ask questions you know they are not used to his absence.

UCHE

I don't care about the workers what we are going to tell Tiga is what we should be worrying about.

BEMA

Why?

Shouldn't it be your turn?

You know that is not possible.

Oh yeah, I forgot you are from a strange family.

He likes her.

"Faith walks in"

FAITH

Hey!

BEMA

What is it?

FAITH

School is over.

BEMA

And so?

FAITH

I do not know my way back home and I have been looking for your Mum.

BEMA

Look who needs me now.

FAITH

You know I wouldn't come to you if I could locate your Mum's office.

BEMA

Maybe if you had a brain, you would remember that I showed it to you this morning.

FAITH

You know what, forget I came to you.

BEMA

I definitely will.

"Faith walks away."

KOME

(Turns to Bema)

Who is that?

ISIO

Bema that was rude.

You know she Is new to all of this.

BEMA

I know but I just can't stand her arrogance.

ISIO

I understand but don't you think her security is more important than your ego right now?

KOME

Hello!

Who is she?

BEMA

(Rolls his eyes)

Fine!

(Walks back into the school building to look for Faith)

KOME

So, no one is going to answer my question?

ISIO

She is Mrs. Iwebema guest.

Remember the minister of education that came to our school last week?

KOME

Yeah.

ISIO

That's his daughter she transferred to our school.

KOME

Hmm, alright.

What do you want?

FRANK

Dayo is furious and I'm scared he may do something to you if you keep avoiding our company.

NGOZI

What?

I thought you guys were going to lay low for the time being due to what happened.

FRANK

I doubt that.

NGOZI

(Sits down)

What do I do?

You heard Mrs. Iwebema the other day at the assembly.

If I get caught, I will lose my scholarship, Frank.

FRANK

I know, Ngozi but my hands are tied.

I can no longer keep you away from the group.

NGOZI

Oh, God what have I gotten myself into?

FRANK

I'm sorry, Ngozi I wish I could protect you from this.

Yes, or Dayo will come for you.

So how was your first day at school?

(Mixes a portion of her white rice and stew)

FAITH

(Forces a smile)

It was fine, ma.

I'm still trying to familiarize myself with the environment.

Mrs. IWEBEMA

Hmm, that's expected.

I believe you will love it here all it's going to take is time.

(Turns to Bema)

How was yours?

BEMA

Splendid.

FAITH

Why wouldn't it be?

When you enjoyed humiliating me in front of your friends.

Mrs. IWEBEMA

What?

(Turns to Bema)

Bema, why?

BEMA

Oh, Goodness.

I didn't do that.

FAITH

Quit lying.

BEMA

Why are you doing this, what did I ever do to you?

FAITH

You are doing this to yourself!

Do you think I would have come to you if I knew where her office was?

BEMA

I thought you were the smart one remembering should be a no-brainer for you.

Mrs. IWEBEMA

That's enough!

What's wrong with you, Emmanuel Iwebema?

BEMA

Hello.

EFE

Why?

They are just coming out from the machines.

I am quite aware of that, but we are unsatisfied with the scan, and it is within my job description to carry out a manual search if I see the need to.
