Previously on her silence....
"It's over. I lost."I cry burying my head on the table.

I didn't know what to expect. Maybe the numbness of my soul and the way I quietly withdrew into my shell gave away my insecurities. Whatever it was, my friends were there for me and gave me their support. The main exams were conducted. I wrote my papers with little confidence
"Do you guys think we are going to make it?"Judy inquires one evening.
We are all sitting on a round table playing cards.
"Do you really have to bring it up? I'm better off not knowing"Vera says and she picks an extra card.
"Honestly... I don't really care. If I pass or I fail life goes on"Tori shrugs and she drops a card.
"Game changer"Mira hisses and she picks up an extra card.
"I know what my mom is going to do when I fail"Xen says placing a card.
"Don't be so negative"Darla chastise dropping her own card.
"She's going to say. I knew this was gonna happen sooner or later. You've never been good at anything"xen continues.
I pick up an extra card.
"Vera it's your turn o!"Tori calls
"It's been four crazy years with you guys I don't mind reliving it" vera sniffs placing a card.
"So many crazy memories"Tori says placing her card.
"Omo shift I don't like the way you are using style to look at my card"Xen warns.
"Wetin I want use your card take do"Darla hisses.
"Remember when I got sick with the pox"Mira says smiling.
She places a card.
"And I got the pox"I groan.
"you looked so sick I really thought you was going to die"Xen laughs.
"That's not funny"I pout.
"Then I got it."xen says picking up an extra card.
"Then I got the pox and passed it on Vera"Judy smiles
"I was supposed to be the immune one but I chose to experience the pain with my friends"Darla winks placing a card.
" Immune ke...Darla yours was the most critical"Tori pointed out.
"it was because... I wanted to go overboard on this friendship thingy"
"Yeah.. that was totally the reason"Tori retorts.
"Last card!"Darla calls.
"Shit!"Vera curses,
"She placed me on hold on Tori it's up to you"
"I don't have anything reasonable and I'm not going to market.. sorry Mira"Tori says and she places a card.
"Hold on!!"Mira screams and drops her card.
"I've already lost"she shruggs.
Xen contemplates for a while before she places a whot card.
"Way to go!"I hail.
"I need...."she stalled.
"Say star no one ever has that!"Vera chips in.
I glare at Darla, her facial expression was hard to fathom.
"I need star!"Xen says.
"Big mistake"Mira sighs.
Darla frowns and drops her card.
"Check up!!"She says smiling.
"Dang!"Xen smiles.
"I don't really know if we are ever going to be together again but I do know I had the best years with you guys and I won't mind reliving it again because you are my best friend"Darla cries.
"Scum after wining the game"I laugh.
"AWwwn we love you!"Tori cries.
"Best friend hug"Vera hugs Tori.
"I have to get on this"Judy says hugging vera too.
"Nobody hugged me cause I'm chopped liver Abi, it's okay"Xen says.
"Let me hug you jor"I say and we laugh.
We are still laughing when a girl runs into the room breathing rapidly.
"Are you okay?"I ask glancing at her.
She opens her mouth to talk, she coughs instead.
"It's ... it's out"she manages to say.
"What's out?"Xen asks.
"The list of those who passed.. it's printed on the hallway"She says.
I glance at Judy, Vera, Xen, Darla, Mira and Tori.
This. was. It!!
