. ~~ MY DAUGHTER'S FRIENDS ~~
EPISODE 4
It was a new academic session in Emaco academy. Abike and Moremi were still on their scholarship and exhibiting excellence. They both were always used as an example to other students who were not serious with their studies or students who misbehaved in school.
A teacher was already inside the class and ready to start his lessons. The principal walked into the class with two beautiful new students.
The class greeted the principal who introduced the girls as their new classmates. Then he left the class.
Looking at the girls, one could tell from their skin tone that they were from rich homes. They looked so nice and the boys in the class started crushing on them instantly. The teacher asked the girls to make their way to an empty seat in the fourth row.
During classes, the girls were well comported and quiet. They answered questions which left some class members amazed. They had thought the girls would have been dull because of how pretty they looked.
It was break period and Moremi had disciplined herself to always stay back in class and study with Abike. Days when they don't feel like studying, they just sit back and talked about their future instead of going out to play.
Abike had gone to the staff room to submit some notes to one of the teachers. Moremi was sitting on her desk and just flipping through a new textbook she brought out from her bag. Her mother Bisola made sure she equipped her with all the necessary text books she needed. Her business was doing fine and investing on her daughter was her only priority.
"Hello" , one of the new girls said as they both walked to where Moremi was seated.
Moremi looked up and saw them staring at her with a smile.
"Can we join you on your reading table?" One of them asked.
"I'm not actually reading, I'm just flipping through the pages of this text book. And yes, you can have a seat" , Moremi said to the girls.
My name is Emily , I'm Ava.. the two girls said introducing themselves.
"Well, my name is Moremi and you both are welcome to Emaco academy", Moremi said with a smile. The girls kicked off their conversation with Moremi. At a point, they started laughing like they've been friends for a long time.
Abike was done with what she was doing in the staff room and she stared walking back to the class. She saw Moremi laughing and discussing with the two new girls. Abike was curious to know what they were discussing and why they seemed like they have been friends for a long time.
As she got closer to where the girls were, Emily and Ava stood up and left the seat. Abike asked Moremi why the girls left and Moremi said she didn't know why they suddenly stood up.
Abike asked Moremi if she knew the girls before and Moremi said no. Abike took offense the way the girls stood up and left when she wanted to join their discussion. But she kept it to herself.
After school dismissal, Moremi was standing inside the school compound waiting for Abike the class prefect to tidy up the class before leaving with her. The two girls walked to where Moremi was and asked her to join them on their ride so they could drop her off. Moremi declined saying she was going back home with Abike.
One of the girls squeezed something into Moremi's hand. Moremi opened her hand to see what was inside. It was a 1000 naira note.
Before she could decide whether she would deny or accept the money, the two girls were already walking away.
It seemed like the girls had seen Abike coming and left. Moremi wondered if Emily and Ava were friends or sisters because of the way they were always together.
Abike walked to where Moremi was standing, she asked Moremi why those new girls were talking with her again. Moremi told Abike the girls had suggested to give her a lift with the car that had come with pick them up but she declined. Moremi then showed Abike the money one of the girls had placed inside her hand.
Abike turned and looked at the girls who were already driving away. She turned her gaze back to Moremi and told her to stay away from those girls. Something looked suspicious and she could feel it.
" But Abike, don't you think this may be God trying to favor me through the hand of these daughters of rich parents? " Moremi asked rhetorically.
"Which favor? I don't trust those girls, they look suspicious to me" , Abike answered
" Wait...Don't tell me you're jealous of them", Moremi said to Abike in a teasing manner.
"Why will I be jealous? You know what?
Use your 1000 naira gift and take transport home. I'm out of here", Abike said and started walking home.
" Wait for me please"
" You're the only best friend I have" , Moremi said aloud and quickly followed Abike.
When Moremi got back home, she prepared something nice for herself and her mother with what was available in the kitchen. She had a lot to tell her mother about her new classmates.
That evening, Bisola came back. She was looking sick and her eyes were swollen. It felt like she had been crying the whole day.
The government had come again telling them that they were going to demolish the shops they had mapped out earlier. But they thought the issue will be resolved again as the last time. But that wasn't the case this time, the government came without warning and began to demolish all the shops with the goods inside.
" What is the matter mum? " , Moremi asked her mother.
Bisola looked at Moremi then hugged her tightly while tears ran down her cheeks all over again.
