The next morning Baby Goldie had woken up, she had gotten better and her body had warmed up. I was so happy but I was still surprised, only if she could talk I would have questioned her all day but she couldn't. I still didn't go to school today because I needed to take care of Baby Goldie. Mama came back in the morning because of the distance, she came back with a boy, a tall dark-skinned boy whose hair was full but gelled backwards which made his hair shine, as her came closer I recognized him; Kenny a childhood friend, but he had changed so much, his eyes light brown met mine but I immediately turned mine away from his and pretended like I didn't know him. My mum saw the doctor and he narrated all that happened, she did look surprised but not as I expected a Nigerian parent to act. The doctor told mama that he would have to hold Baby Goldie back for more tests because of what happened but surprisingly mama abruptly rejected the offer threatening to call her lawyer if the doctor tried to stop her from leaving the hospital. I was confused, it was supposed to be a private conversation with the doctor but I overheard mostly because of mama's shouting but why on earth did mama reject the offer? We came in the evening and ate Jollof rice round table. Mama told Kenny to put his bags in the guests room which was a room away from mine, mama's room was in the middle. As he carried his overloaded bag which was obviously too heavy for him, mama gave me a sign to help him. I got up and tapped him, he looked at me as if he was expecting it. I collected a hand of the bag and carried it along with him, with time taking forever we finally got to the guests room and we put inside. I turned around to go back to the dining room I heard my name, I turned to see if it was coming from the person I thought it was and I was correct. "how are you" he questioned
"As you can see am doing well " I responded quite shy.
"Do you still remember me?"
"Yep, why won't I?" I said glaring around the room as if it was my first time in it. "Because you didn't show it" he said, neither did you I thought, "maybe I was a bit shy". He stood up and walked towards me, put his hand on my shoulder sending a trill down my spine, looked into my eyes and said softly "you shouldn't be". I went downstairs to ask mama for the reason he was here, she said he is staying with us until we resume and still he applied for the same high school which he would complete here.
