When we are done with our assignment, Courtney taught me how to play a written game which we kept ourselves company with. It's already past 5 and she don't seems to be preparing to leave anytime soon. My uniform is dirty and i don't want her to know that i have only one fitted uniform so am waiting for her to leave before i wash it.
Thinking of the best way to make her leave, I inhaled deeply and ask.
"I hope your mother won't scold you for staying out this late without taking permission"?
"Nah and besides i already left a message to her on WhatsApp. Mum don't mind if i stay out late as long as i will be home before dinner".
"Your Mum is quite different".
"Yeah she stopped treating me like a child since i was 10 , she assumed i could take of myself and i never failed".
"Wow so you have been staying out with friends since you were 10"?
"Yes and i started inviting them for sleepover when I was 12".
"My Mum will never let me go that far".
"Of course many parents won't, not because they don't trust their children but they are being protective. But i love the way my Mum is and have never failed her. She knows all my friends and i already tell her about you and she likes you"
"Awwwwwww…".
"Someday I will invite you for a sleepover".
"No don't, my Mum won't permit me and even if she does I will be scared, I have never slept out away from any of my parents".
"You are still a child Bella". She teased.
"Whatever".
I excused myself to the bathroom hoping the conversation ends and she takes her leave from there but going back to the room i met her lying comfortably on my bed.
"Oh, jeez". I almost cried.
"Let me install a game for you". She said and took my phone.
"What kind of game"?
"Bubble shooter, trust me you will like it".
I only wish she leave after sending the game.
"Oh! My battery is low". She complained.
"Then go home to charge it".
"Give me your charger"
"I don't even know where i drop it". I replied hoping she won't find it but then she sight it on my cabinet there a book was placed on it.
She charge her phone and started playing some music she sent to me with my phone.
Finally when it's 06:30pm, she packed her things and left. I see her off to the gate and hurriedly went to wash my uniform hoping it dry before mum comes home.
When it's 07:00pm, i heard Mum car horn and my uniform is still wet, i ignored her horn and went to hide my uniform before going to open the gate.
"What took you so long"?
"I'm sorry Mum". Was all i say and hurried to the store room where i hide my uniform to meet the white T-shirt already stained.
"Oh! I didn't clean the dirt on the table i drop it".
I went back to my bathroom to wash it when i heard Mum call me, i left it and went to her. We prepare dinner together and ate. After dinner i hurriedly wash the dishes and was hurrying up to my room when Mum stopped me.
"Why are you in an hurry"?
"I am feeling dizzy". I lied and ran upstairs.
I get to my room and meet my phone ringing i check the caller and see it's dad. I picked the call and we talk for a while before hanging up.
I went to the bathroom to wash then i realised that am out of detergent.
"Oh! I already use the last detergent". I exclaimed
"To he!l". I curs*d in a whisper and threw the uniform down.
The following day, i dressed up in my baggy uniform and went to check myself in the mirror and didn't like how i look but i have no choice. I text Courtney not to wait for me because i will be taking the bus to school since am late.

When i get to school, everyone started murmuring words and pointing fingers at me and am sure they are referring to my uniform. When i get to class minutes later Courtney joined me.
"Why baggy"? Was the first question she ask.
" Nothing, i wore the first uniform i saw".
" No foo!ling me, Is it because of the picture"? She ask then i realized that there is an advantage wearing the baggy because Courtney won't take my picture and i won't have to give any pictures to facebook. I smile making her believe she guessed right.
•
Nick and Mike walk in to class together, Nick waved at me and i returned it with a smile.
Everyone in class started sympathizing with Mike and asking him questions concerning his health but i careless.
During recess, Nick invite me to eat with him but i decline with excuse that i will eat with Courtney instead so he invite Courtney and i.
When we get to the table, we talk about the accident and he told us that Jason is still in the hospital but back to conscious. Courtney volunteered to pay him a visit and i also agreed to go with her.
When school dismissed, Nick drive us to the hospital in a car. We went straight to Jason's ward and met him seated on the hospital bed with big bandage on his head and part of his body plastered.
"Oh! My goodness baby Jason". Courtney said and went to him. We all look surprised as we divert our gaze to her.
"How are you feeling now"? She ask touching his face
" I am, am fine". He replied giving her a w*ird look.
"That's a relief, look how pale your handsome face is". She said.
He inhale deeply and shove her hands off his face before diverting his gaze to us.
" Bella". He later called.
" Jason who was driving when you get involved in the accident"? I ask.
" I". He replied.
" Why won't you get in an accident when a d*mon who select his target is seated right beside you". I said and everyone look at me and i could see Mike throwing me a dagger look.
*Who cares*
After few chats, we get ready to leave but Courtney told me she knows a nurse in the hospital, so she went to the nurse while Nick volunteered to give me a ride home.
"Where is your bike?" I ask
"At home, but if you want us to ride on it i can go get it, my house is not far from here".
" Yes i love that".
We arrived at his house and alight in the parking lot, there is just a car there and his bike we aim to climb on the bike when a car drove in.
"That's my mum". He said and i regret coming there,
"Good afternoon Mum". He greet when she alight and went to peck her cheek.

When Mum drove in, i regret bringing Bella here because Mum love asking many questions.
"Good afternoon ma" Bella greet.
"Ok, who is she"?
"She is Bella my-.." i was saying but kept quiet when Bella (my ex) alight from the car. I wanted to tell Mum that Bella (baggy) was just a friend but i changed my mind.
Bella (my ex) and Mum became close after i introduced her as my girlfriend, Mum love her sense of fashion and mostly invite her to go shopping since we stay close.
"Your what"? Mum ask and Bella (my ex) smirks ev*ly.
I inhaled deeply and made a fist. "My girlfriend". I finally say and Mum started checking her out.
" Oh! She is on her baggy uniform". I almost cried.
