Chetachi took off his reading glasses and rubbed his eyes.

He had just concluded a list he was working on from the previous night, team members that were going to participate in the tryouts.

Sixty six people had to each be given a chance to perform in the space of two weeks.

His door burst open and Chanah skipped into his room happily, her hair undone and frizzled.

“Chetachi" she whined climbing onto his clean bed with her muddy shoes.
“Chanah take off your shoes" he ordered pulling them off her feet.
She lay down on his bed, looking up at the ceiling.

Chanah, his six year old sister, was his only sibling, she had come at a time when his mother had given up on having any more children, and was a dramatic princess.

Chetachi watched her for a moment before concluding she had just come to lie down, he picked up his phone and went straight to his WhatsApp messages.

He texted Gracious, asking her what she was doing, they were talking last night when he realized he was still with her face towel.

Her replies were late, and inconsistent but he didn't mind.

Eventually she said she was going to bed  so he let her. They had both had a hectic day.

A call came in and Chetachi sighed in relief.

“Ezi Enyi" Chikamsi said her voice flooding the room before he put the phone off speaker.

“Sorry, I was at a photoshoot" she apologized,
“I thought as much" Chetachi replied settling down into a blue arm chair in his room, the one he often sat on to read.

“ I thought you were supposed to be in school yesterday" he asked when she didn't say anything else.

The hesitant pause before she told him her photo shoot had been impromptu gave her away.

Chikamsi was lying,he decided to confront her about it.

“Chetachi abeg, you don't expect me to start loving school all of a sudden" she said.
He looked at his little sister whose ears perked up, on hearing Chikamsi's voice.

Chetachi put on his reading glasses again and flipped through his physics textbook, placing his phone beside the books on the desk.

“I know, but you know that second test is coming up in two weeks time abi? and you're writing makeup tests next week " he asked. 
“Right?" He probed when she didn't give him a reply.

“I know" she sighed over the phone, “Let's meet at Rainforest Cafe, let me tutor you on physics today" he said and closed the textbook he had been reading.

“Lumen is opening that creamery today, let's meet at my house to read then go and get some ice cream from there" she suggested.

Chetachi went along with the idea and told her he would be at her place in five minutes.

He hung up, and his junior sister whined,

“Take me to get ice cream too na Tachi" she said kicking her feet in the air.

“Better go and read your books. Don't disturb me" he laughed picking up a grey school bag and packing a few things in it.

Chetachi took his wallet and ATM card with some cash as well, a physics textbook and his jotter.
