EPISODE FIVE
Back in school, I was the most promising girl in school. The teachers use me as a reference to other female student. My uniform was always neat and tidy. I was never late for school, thanks to IYA Sholape.
My school is a co-educational school with many students from different backgrounds. Hence, it comprises of the good, the bad and the ugly.
Despite this, I don’t allow anything to distract me from my academics so, it should not be a surprise that I always come first in any examination.
I was loved by teachers and respected by my peers. I remember when I was in ss1, after I had won a prize in a debate competition for my school, when I got back to the school an emergency assembly was called and the entire school celebrated my success.
That day was one of my best. The victory was great because I was in SS1 and I had just defeated SS3 students from other schools. I took pictures with the principal and the teachers. It was a day of joy.
Mom was really proud of me when she was informed of my exploit. My step mother heard of this and she became jealous because I was in the same school as well as her daughter.
She would say that Sholape is not well trained at all, she dresses as if her mother is the queen.
She would stop my dad from paying my school fees on time. Her daughter usually pays her school fees before resumption, but me hmm always towards end of the term or mom pays it.
I was not sent out of school only because of the love the principal had for me. I have owed two term fees and dad didn’t turn up, until my mom paid them out of nothing she had.
I enjoyed my studies and everything was simple and easy for me because I read ahead of the class I do my assignments regularly and my notes are always up to date.
I was at the kitchen trying to prepare a pot of rice for my mum, brother and I when my mother called out my name. “Sholape”! “Yes mummy”, “your phone has been ringing” “Oh okay mum”
I rushed down to where she was to get my phone, only for me to see her giving me looks.
“I picked your call though”, by that time, she was already giving me a look that makes me want to run out of the room because I knew something was definitely wrong, but I surmounted my worry…
“Errmm mummy who was the caller??” I asked “He is a guy, He said his name is Kayode”.
Oh no! Now I’m dead. I knew I had some explanations to do right that moment. She probably already know who Kayode is she’s just trying to confirm her suspicions. Oh my God, there’s no way I can even lie to her.
Kayode never calls without calling me sweet names,Did she hear him call me that? Why would she even pick my call? like my mum knew what I was thinking of, She cleared her throat as if to bring me out of my thoughts.
I immediately looked up looking at her but I was too scared to look into her face. Although my mum and I are so close but we’ve not gotten to the extent.
Just when I was about to leave the room for the kitchen to continue my cooking, her question popped out of her mouth.
“Who is Kayode??”
I was shocked and I couldn’t move an inch. Though I was prepared for her question but I don’t even know how to tell her.
Should I just lie to her? Should I tell her the truth? She might get mad if she knows who Kayode really is.
Gosh I kept replaying her question in my head. Who is Kayode??
