Previously on her silence.......

A little birdie sat on my window,
It hobbled on one feet and I wished I could follow.
I stared at it's little beaks and it chirped a melody of Base, soprano and Concerto
But when I blinked my eyes I couldn't find it and I wondered where it went to,
If I could find the answers beyond the universe
Why don't rivers flow backward though it would be meaningless
Why can't the sun be moved from its exact spot?
And what if everything we see Is just our hallucination.
Am I much more worth than a grey of sand?
Or will I be someone never to be found?
Am I doing everything right?
Turns out these data Religion is nothing but a fight.
Different interpretations to what I read
And wondering how I'd be freed
So if that little birdie has stayed outside my window.
I'd ask if I could follow to find my answers.

  Vera
It's evening when the sun reclines behind the clouds and the once blue sky had turned chocolate brown. We sat under the shade of a mango tree, licking the gift of nature.

"All if these happened and I was in class?" Judy groaned.

Darla paused to extract the juice noisily before saying, " I can't believe he locked you in that room and scolded you."

"She's finally found someone's that stubborn like her." Xen chipped in.

"It was very annoying!" I sniffed.

"Annoying ke. That guy was cute." Darla said conspiratorially.

For every action, there has to be an reaction. I ignored  her.

Audrey coughed, "cute."

"He was nothing cute. He was so annoying I felt like slapping some sense into him and that his stupid height. Imagine telling me that I remind him of a Barbie doll but I don't have the height."

"You have suffered my sister." Judy patted me in the back.

"Barbie Doll. Interesting "Abi wrote.

"Not you too Abi" I cried.

"He was tall true enough but you can't deny the fact he was cute." Darla teased.

I exploded, "he was not cute."

"Calm down it's not fight. Just look at her  cheeks it has turned to color red." Audrey said.

I got up, " I will not take this."

"Where are you going?" Xen chuckled.

Judy winked, "someone cannot play with you again?"

"I don't like that kind of play." I warned sitting down.

Audrey apologized, "Sorry ma."

"We will not do it again ma." Darla added.

"Eheen Darla." Mira paused to stare at a group of boys in the distance holding cutlasses,

"Earth to Mira! You have lost control so soon?" Xen mumbled.

She grinned, "Darla where's your own part of a story?"

Darla paused, "Story? I don't know of any story or Abi do you know?"

"Mtcheww. Tell us the story jor." I hissed.

"There's nothing much to tell." She said glancing away.

"Which kind? After I've finished saying my own you want to do Ojoro?"

"Darla do now." Judy said.

"Ok after I left Mira, I decided to use the stairs when I bumped into that handsome fool. I thought he was dead because he was lying without moving and his sleeves was torn but he just started laughing and stretched out his hand for a handshake. I removed my hands because I felt an electrical you know what I mean na then he insisted in following me to go look for Vera."
