JADESOLA 'JADE' PRESTON
I noticed that ENIOLA didn't want to be here but I understand her, no one wants to be around me.
I walk around looking for MISS JOY, the maid, to inform her of ENIOLA's arrival. I approach her room and hear her on the phone with someone "Ehen, I'm at home with that 'aje' (witch). Her stupid cousin is coming today; I heard that she is spoiled rotten by her parents". I just walk away with tears brimming in my eyes.
I don't understand why no one likes me or why they call me a witch, maybe it is because of my green eyes or because I am adopted. Well I should be used to it by now because it isn't going to change anytime soon.
I wipe away any stray tears and walk to my room; I suddenly hear a blood curling scream coming from MISS JOY's room. I run towards her room only to see ENIOLA dragging her by hair telling her to apologize to her.
"ENI, why are you dragging her like that?" I questioned in disbelief. I wondered how they each other so fast and how MS JOY had managed to irritate ENI so much already.
"Is it not this bitch having the gall to call me a spoiled brat" she screamed delivering a swift slap to MISS JOY's face. MISS JOY screamed in response trying to free herself from ENI's death grip.
"I did no such thing, she is lying against me. Please tell her to let me go" she said in agony.
"ENIOLA, please leave her I'll deal with her later" I begged. ENI reluctantly let MISS JOY go. MISS JOY swiftly said thank you and scrambled away in fear and pain.
ENI looked very smug and fulfilled as she walked away. I stopped her before she walked too far.
"ENI, what did she do to you?", "Nothing I just hate her face and how she looked at me". She hissed and turned away, she stopped looked at me and said "When it is time to eat tell your useless maid to call me" and she turned away on her heel.
I contemplated going to comfort MISS JOY but decided against it because she had it coming.
I entered the kitchen and got to preparing dinner. Contrary to popular belief that I can actually cook, I learnt when I was 12 years old and my parents started leaving me home alone.
I made simple pasta with sauce and baked chicken for ENI while I had pork chops and jollof rice. I finished cooking at about 7; 30PM. I called for MISS JOY who still looked disheveled; I gave a look of disgust and sent her to call my cousin for dinner.
I set the table and waited for ENI to come, while waiting I decided to call my dad, the phone rang and he ignored my call. I tried my mum and it was the same thing. I then decided to text my cousin:
ME – Hey DAMI, what's up?
DAMI – M cool o how is the witch?
ME – It has been a roller coaster, and it is only the first day
DAMI- What did she do now?
ME – She almost killed MISS JOY, because she didn't like her face.
DAMI – Chimo!!! That is wicked of her to do.
ME - Likeeeee
DAMI- She just likes to be wicked for no reason
ME- With her UK accent
DAMI- Ehen na, so stupid. How will we survive if she should attend DC?
ME- We will so suffer
"What is for dinner?" dropping my phone I look up at ENI. "Well I made pasta and sauce and baked chicken for you" "You made or that stupid girl?"
