                             Tori

We were all sitting in the dinning, eating our dinner: Semovita with Egusi soup, which was prepared by me.

Talking about table manners, we don't care about that in our family.

Mum and dad were having a very serious conversation, Tomi and Toni were also talking about something silly and I was left out, left out to think of what happened today.

It's unbelievable, to be called beautiful twice in a day or is everyone  blind today.

"Earth to Tori". Tomi said, while waving her hands at my front.

"Stop it". I snapped, the waving was getting annoying.

"Tori are you okay, did you even hear what I was saying". Mum asked and I felt everyone's eyes piercing holes into me

"Yes.....you....said...said that.....I.....       I kept looking for words, because truthfully I didn't even hear an alphabet of what she said.

"I said you will be changing schools this new term". She reminded me

"Oh.....yes .....I know...you......WAIT WHAT! . I shouted when I realized what that sentence means.

"Yes you will be going to Diamond academy". She said

"No, I'm not". I snapped and turned to look at my dad who hasn't said a word
"Dad say something". But he just shrugged.

"Mum I just have a year left to finish secondary School so I don't need to go to Ring academy or whatever you call it". I said

"Tori, you are not serious I have always wanted to go to Diamond academy and you just want to throw this opportunity away". Tomi said

"Banjo's sister goes to Diamond academy and have heard a lot of good things about the school". Toni said

Seriously they are also on her side

"Mum what happened to Vincent academy, why do you just want me to leave". I asked

"Nothing I just want you to have a change of environment, meet new friends". She said those words, like they were making sense

It's not like I had any friends. I muttered

"Exactly". Oh she heard me

"We know about all the insults, bullying and threats you received in your school why didn't you tell us anything". My dad spoke for the first time

"That's not the point dad, you can't just expect me to leave my school for another school filled with Rich spoilt kids ready to insult the little self esteem out of this ugly girl sitting right here". Those words rushed out, but I don't regret it

"I have told you to stop saying that in this house, all of my children are beautiful". He said , almost yelling

I'm the one who is supposed to be angry.

Oh come on, you don't need to lie to me, the truth might be bitter but I'm ready to accept it". I can feel the tears threatening to fall

"Honey, I'm getting scared this days, I think she needs to go for counseling". My mum said

So now they care

"Dear I understand you, but Diamond academy is one of the best school in Lagos State and you can't afford to miss it. Do you know what some other people would do to be in your position right now". My dad said, his eyes pleading but I don't care they can't force me to do what I don't want

"Well I'm not other people, I'm Toriola Badmus". I stood up, using my back to push my chair backward, making an annoying sound and I ran upstairs

"Tori, please". I heard my mom saying

"Don't worry mom, we will.....". I blocked out whatever Tomi was saying, opened the door of my room , entered and shut it loudly.

I sat at the edge of the bed and the tears decided it was the right time to fall

It's not that I'm being ungrateful it's just that I'm used to the insults from my school, I'm not just ready for a lot more

Why  can't they just leave me at Vincent academy or at least take me to Delight Montessori college where Tomi schooled at and were Toni is presently. Or maybe they are just ashamed of me so they don't want me to be seen with their prescious and beautiful daughters.

Well I don't blame them actually and that is why I want them to let me stay at Vincent academy. But no.......they have all the money in this world and they just want to waste it by helping me.

I saw the door nub twisting which means someone was opening the door

Why did I forget to lock the damn door

"Hi". Tomi said which I ignored, then she sat near me on my bed and Toni sat on the sofa opposite us, picked up a magazine and started reading.

"Tori, you Know they want to best for you". Tomi said destroying the silence I was gladly enjoying

I scoffed

"E be like say dis ur head dey swell cause dem dey beg u make u go one good school but u sill dey do big head". Toni said in her fluent pidgin language ,no one knows where she learnt it from

"Eh, watch what you say I'm still your elder sister". I said, trying to control my laughter

"Because of only one year difference your head is already sparking Pele oh elder sister wa".

I could not take it anymore I picked up my pillow to throw it at her, which she dodged easily, then she picked it to throw it back at me but it hits Tomi's
head instead

"Ouch, I will get you for this". Tomi said and threw the pillow back at her and we ended up playing the game of pillow fight for ten minutes. I was still laughing until someone cut me off

"Tori, seriously do you want to throw the opportunity of going to Diamond academy away, like seriously I wish I was in your shoes". Toni said

"My shoes are in their racks, why not kuku take one and be leaving there". I replied sarcastically, and we all laughed

" But seriously Tori just try it out, i'm sure you will enjoy your stay there". Tomi said

Seriously we are going back to this topic

"Something keeps telling me I won't, and you know............

"Tori's instict are never wrong". We all said in a sing-song voice.

"Just try it out". Tomi said
"Please". They both said giving me that eyes, no don't give me that......ah

"Fine if that's what you want". I said closing my eyes, why did I just say that.

I hate when they give me that puppy dog eyes, I never say no to that.

"YEEPEE, Tori is going to D.A". They started singing and dancing and I joined them too.

I don't know why but I'm having a bad feeling about this


So guys that's all for now
