~Gloria~

"Wakey wakey, sis get up or your going to be later for school."

"Hmmmm ahhhh, it's a good day to be wicked."

I said raising from my bed completely forgetting my little brother Syia was still in my room. He looked at me like I had suddenly transformed into a vampire before his very eyes and I rolled my eyes at him Saying

"Syia!! Get out of my room already."

" you know some times I wonder how we are related."

He said in his tick South African accent and I glared at him in response. He finally left my room grumbling and I got to work getting ready from school by heating the shower first.
I am sure you are wondering how a South African girl like me live with her family here in Lagos, Nigeria. Well it's pretty simple, my mom is Nigeria from Kwara state hence the surname Kamari,
and my dad is from Limpopo of South African.

Hence why my middle name is Lindiwe meaning waited for, but I suck with the English name i Was given which was Gloria. My brother's name is Siya, fortunately I do not know what that means but I know he is one hell of a torn in my flesh. I got out of the bathroom and wiped my body clean before using a little body lotion. We weren't supposed be schooling here in Nigeria, this was all moms fault she began to lead a wayward life and end up stealing from the wrong person.

We were not only separated from our dad but we were deported with immediate effect all the way down to Nigeria. For a while i  struggled  to fit in and had repeat JSS one in 3 different school because none of them offered Swahili. As if that was not enough I was bullied most of the time because I couldn't speak English properly. Entering Wesley Academy at age 14 i though things would be chilled and I won't be picked on, boy was I wrong. It got worse  and just when I was about giving up I met Matilda.

I head out of my room to the dinning room to get myself breakfast. Matilda was the reason I left Westley in the first place. She was also the reason why I am back in Westley Academy, to finish what she started. She was the one that taught me how to speak English, taught me everything I needed to know to survive in Westley academy.

Just like you through away the groundnut shell after eating the groundunt inside, that's the same way Matilda got rid of me after she used and dumped me. I was soo hurt that immediately after my JSS 3 I got transferred to another school a school I had no ideas existed and they were comfortable with me speaking  Swahili.

The only language people bullied me soo much for, the one language that I thought was the bond to our friendship, I guess i was just too quick to conclude, I didn't look properly before leaped and that is something I never do, something I now regret deeply. I got to the dinning table and mumbled a greeting to mom that was bearly audible she responded by nodding her head.

At least it's better than no greeting at all, quickly I ate my breakfast magic crunchy cereals before heading out of the house. I got on my black scooter adjusted the school uniform which was blue checkered pleated skirt a white shirt and a tie to go with it.

I got to school by  9am on dot the assembly was already over and everyone was returning to there classes. Everyone was avoiding me like a plague, the plague Matilda described me to be when we were all in JSS3. I shock my head remembering that day but chose to not  to duel on it as i approached the stairways that leads to SS3. Just when I was about accessing the stairs someone blocked  me. I smirked locking eyes with the fellow human being that  came to block my part, After chuckling  at my predicament  I said to her

" speaks of the devil and he appears. To what  do I owe the pleasure of you coming to blocking my part this morning. Matilda"

" you are late! And as the Headgirl I have every right to punish you."

She said beaming with pride as she looked me square in the eyes. Is She for real right now did she really think that her being the headgirl gives her and edge over me. Oh revenge is going to Taste sweet with this clueless brat acting all high and mighty. I would have sworn she was sacred of me as a result went into hiding. Because I haven't seen her face around for the past two weeks. this is going to be fun, for me at least, I chuckled saying.

" you are bluffing"

"Errk wrong. Go and join the junior over there. Give me 50 push up, when you are done I am sure the staff toilets have missed your face. Be a darling and wash all the staff toilets in this school."

I let her finish what she had to say all the while keeping my composure. At this point the students from the senior block began to gather everyone had their phone recording our exchange. Good this is just what I need, an evidence for the downfall of the good for nothing Matilda. It's about time someone gave her a taste of her own medicine, with a sly grin on my face I looked at her saying

" are you done? Okay. good talk kiddo."

I said by passing her and heading for my class but Matilda being the stubborn brat she was she blocked my part again, and this time she had the effrontery to not just push me but to give me a resounding slap making my head twist sharply to the right. She screamed to my face pointing an accusing finger to my chest saying.

" how dare you disobey my Order, hmmm do not realize who you are talking to? Do you not realize that I am the Headgirl now. I am going to make you—"

"Wrong move Matilda. Wrong. Move."

I said to her in a low and dangerous tone cutting her statement shut. Before she could process what was going on, I gave her a solid head boot making sure my head hit with hers harder Than she was anticipating. This immediately knocked her out and everyone around me gasped including Antonio. I winked at him and blew him an kiss but he only stare at me in horror. I shrugged like i didn't  just knock someone out with a single head boot. Dusting my fingers like I had touched something dusty i ascended the stairs and heading for my class. I don't have time for Matilda just yet once my masters plan of revenge was ready I will have her time. Right now, I have  a WAEC Exam happing In 5 days to study for.

~Antonio~

After the craziness that happened in school and Gloria winking at me like that, I didn't bothered staying or spending another Second in that school.  Whatever madness that just happened right before my very eyes the other perfect will handle it. That is why I keep thanking my lucky stars that I am not a perfect that shit is Mind draining to say the least.

I got back home by 11 am on dot Thank God  my driver was still at the school gate so it was easy  to hop back in and head home. Molly on the other have already told me she wasn't going to be in school. That was an added advantage because that means I also have no reason to Compulsorily be in school. The reading I wanted to do in school I can manage to do it at home Biko. Yes I know my house isnt The quietest most reasonable and calm place to read, I don't mind. It's still my home and it's much more better than that school that there is always madness in the air.

I entered the kitchen to get something to eat because I skipped breakfast in the morning. Making  my way in the kitchen I decided to settle for Oat and pancakes with strawberry syrup . Weird but trust me Chloe eat things That are even weirder- that reminds me I haven't heard from her in over 24 hours and that is no like her. By now she should either be in school or flooding our bestties group chat with messenger of how amazing it her birthday was for her.

I took my food to the kitchen counter placing a  stool in from of the counter so I could sit properly.  Once I began to eat I began to think back to how awesome Chloe birthday was and if i remember correctly I nafeesat and Molly were helping Chloe and Zoe  clean up after the party. How come I don't remember anything after that, it's like my brain went blank after that and my memory of everything else that happened after that was foggy.

This was definitely odd because I have a very good memory and I remember things easily very easily. Something was definitely wrong somewhere, and I am going to find out what it is but before I got the Chance to get to it I hear the loud wailing of someone in my house crying. From the sound of the voice I come tell it was one of my siblings. The whole grownups in the house were at work so it was just us young adults,teenagers and toddlers, so many toddlers. That why it's difficult to read here.

"Uncle Ronny. Run, Ron is crying."

Said one of my nephews my elder sister'a first son I smiled at him and gave him a little pat on the head. He looked up at me expecting me to say something - since there was so much difference in our height I decided to carry him in my arms heading for where the rest of the kids and toddlers are. He was still looking at me expecting a response and when he thought he wasn't getting any he said.

" he is still crying. Aren't you going to help him."

" he is familiar of cus I will help me. So you need to worry no more, now go play with the other kids."

I said putting him down in the mist of the other kids. Once I was sure he was well occupied I sneaked off heading to Ron's room short for Aaron, my Older brother. As I got close to his room I could hear the muffles of his cry loud and clear and that kinda made me feel awkward. This would have been soo much easier if I was a girl or if one of my sisters were around. I took in deep breaths hopeful that I am in a position to help, I knocked on the door before saying.

"Yo bro, urrr you okay. I couldn't help but over hear your, ehemmm."

"Nah it's alright, I am Good I am just. Sweating through my eye ."

He said lying through his Teeth. Who in there right mind would think that people sweat through there eyes. I shook my head at him  understanding his tactics as I walked further into his room closeing his door shut. I sat with him in the silence and he tilted his head sideways to look at me Briefly. Once his head went back to its original position he spoke saying.

" why are you home so early. Shouldn't you be in school studying ."

" I change my mind, and I am glad I did because you look like you need me more here."

" why does Daniella hate me."

He asked me out of the blue and I had to pause alittle to ponder and recall which Daniella was he talking about . I remember him talking about her like a love sick puppy but I didn't think things would go bad this quickly. He looked at me with his red puffy eyes and tears stained cheeks expecting and answer. Because I have always given in to my craving of singing when ever I am on the sport or in the spot light   Instantly did the same thing to Aaron. Before I could stop myself I began to sing the song Don't give up on love by Kygo and Sam Tinnesz.

"When you're falling backwards and no one's catching ya
When your heart just shatters, too many pieces to pick it up
You keep finding a way, just to live alone
Nothing to say, staring at your phone
And your life is going numb (oh-oh)"

"Are you asking me not to give up on love. Even after so much Pain Daniella Infodike has caused me."

"... Don't give up on love when it doesn't work out the first time
Close your eyes and trust that you gotta get low to get high
The world's full of second chances, you gotta keep on dancing
Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up on love
Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up on love"

I sang to him In responses, that indirectly answered his question. I smile at him when he wiped away the stray tears that wanted to escape his eyes. He smiled back at me singing the song way way better than me, that was the talent I and by brother shared. He was an amazing signer and so was I, we just didn't want to make it our career, at least not yet.

"If it doesn't work out the first time
G-gotta get low to get high
If it doesn't work out the first time
Don't give up on love
If it doesn't work out the first time
G-gotta get low to get high
If it doesn't work out the first time
Don't give up on love"

"Livin' underwater and you can't catch your breath
Driftin' farther, almost off the edge
You keep thinking about all the better days
Spiraling out, wishing it would change
Smiling through the pain (oh-oh)"

We both sang the song till the very end and before I knew it he pulled me in for a hug. I tensed up abit because it's not everyday you get to hug your elder brother. I visibly relaxed when I felt him smile again me, shortly after we detangled from the embrace he said to me and I responded

"Thank you Antonio. You really are one off a kind."

"You are welcome big brothers. y no lo menciones. usted es mi familia, recuerde y la familia se mantenga unida"

" have no ideas what that means but I'll take it as a complement little brother. Now you should go and study, you have a WAEC exam to prepare for."

" Roger that captain obvious"

I said giving him an mocking saluted and he pushing me off his bed before laughing. Now there is Aaron I know and I love, I glare at him playfully before leaving his room thankful that the mission to make his stop crying and cheer up was a success.
