Mide's POV

"I'll miss you so much !"
  Demilade whined .
"Babes it's just one week oh ."
Vera said laughing at the way Demmie was gripping my shoulder .

"I know,one long week of no VAMO."
Demmie complained .
"I still don't like that name .It sounds like the name of a detergent."

I said squinting my eyes due to the brightness of the sun .
The girls erupted in laughter at what I had said.

Dami had left a while ago . He refused to decode the name  of the person that came to pick him and the car which was used was tinted .

He liked acting like he was a secret agent  . He also proclaimed himself my brother, our brother actually.

" Oh here ,my ride has arrived .Bye guys . "

Vera said hugging us then she walked to a car and entered .

In a few more minutes ,Demmie had to go too and I was left alone to walk to the bus stop and board a bus back to Agbande.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I had just alighted the danfo bus I took when my small phone rung.
It had been with my guardian Mrs Ajumobi in school but I collected it earlier and saved the numbers I had collected .
I looked at the screen to see it was Mr Godwin.
Please don't blame me for saving his number or giving him mine .

That day he locked the both of us in his office and told me he wasn't letting me go on the condition I give him my number .

I gave him the wrong number first of all but he called it so I had to give him the right one .

Besides I only saved his number so I would know it was him when he called and decline .

I declined  it and used my left  hand to wave  down a motorcycle, popularly called okada .

" Korumo, by the left.How much ?"
I asked before I sat down .
"100naira"
The baritone voiced man responded and i got on .

The motorbikes were usually very fast so in some minutes I was standing at the front door of my home.
If you could call it that considering the conditions I'd lived under.

As I positioned  my hand on the door to knock ,the door slid open.

Wondering why it was left open ,I walked inside examining the house .Same way it was when I left .

I increased my pace as I climbed up the small stairs that lead to baami's room.

Reaching the door of his room ,I knocked severally but no one answered .
I then walked in and there was no one in there .

I headed back to my room to freshen up and rest for a while before everyone came back home .

Dami's POV.

"Stop stressing mum .She's going to be fine .She's been fine all this while, okay.Just chill"

Mum had been pacing about the living room for hours .
I wondered how her legs weren't hurting her already.
" B...Bu...But..She ..."
" But She what mum?Just chill."
I dragged her to a couch and made her sit down.

Mum started rubbing her neck and hands just like her.
It was something they both did whenever they were frustrated or confused.

They both were just so alike in almost everything.

That light blue eyes that looked grey whenever they were sad .
Mum's mother was a half cast so mum inherited it and passed it on to her.

Guess the color of eyes I got. Black ,the normal colour almost every Nigerian had .

"You know,you guys are the only ones I have . I hope she forgives me someday."

She had a sad smile now .

"C'mon ,she's not all that hard hearted ,she'll understand."

"Yeah right. So how was school?"
She said  desperate to change the topic.

"It was good .So  there's like this ..."

We kept on talking until it was time for her to go to work .

Mum was a doctor so she had to leave most of the time but I never lacked her attention cause she always made up for it .

Narrator's POV

Mide

~~~~~~~~
  She had been welcomed with open arms by baami when he came back .
She found herself crying in his arms .

She never even pictured herself being that emotional .
She wanted to tell him everything that happened , like everything !
The fights,Mr Godwin, Kyle,everyone!

After a silent dinner on the kitchen table ,she went to her room to draft her timetable for the week.

Monday: Visit Suliat and call Razak after chores. Walk around a little .Finish Dara's night .

Tuesday: Read Knowing Sheelah .Call the rest of VAMO.

Wednesday: Spend quality time resting.Talk with baami. Watch a movie .

Thursday: Go to the library and search for some novels. Play some games .

Friday: Revise notes and textbooks.
Saturday :  Get ready for Sunday.

With that done , she went to bed, highly anticipating the next day .
