MARIA Wow, so you are finally awake? I thought you would spend the whole day sleeping.
ONYINYE Please keep your voice down my headaches. (She manages to sit on one of the plastic chairs in the room)
MARIA Why won't your head hurt? You spent all night drinking and doing only God knows what. (She picks up some of her books)
ONYINYE What time did I get to the hostel? How did I get to the hostel?
MARIA (She laughs out loud) Onyinye don't tell me you don't remember.
ONYINYE If I did, I wouldn't be asking you na (She drags her feet to the sink)
MARIA Are you okay?
ONYINYE (She turns to Maria) I'm fine I just felt like throwing up.
MARIA Alright by the way Anastasia and Frank brought you home last night. The three of you were so wasted I wondered how Frank was able to drive.
ONYINYE Omo, remind me not to ever stare at liquor again. (She scatters her hair In frustration)
MARIA I warned you Onyinye but you wouldn't listen you weren't even invited to that party.
ONYINYE Maria, please don't start. I still had fun regardless (She said in self-defence)
MARIA If only you know how you look right now, you will rephrase.
ONYINYE Oya e don do abeg. (She picks up her toothbrush)
MARIA I'm leaving for class now. (She stares at herself in the mirror)
