Empire High School - Season 1 - Episode 7

LUNCH TIME

Angella’s POV
About three weeks into the term,
everybody was talking about Katherine
Adebowale, the new girl. She was certainly
a chick in the boys eyes,and she was bright
and doing well in class tests.
I sat at the table with my friends, Caroline
and Elizabeth.
“She thinks she’s better than everybody
else” I said when Kate entered the hall with
Elena and Temi.

“There’s nothing special about her”
Elizabeth said
“I think she’s gorgeous” Caroline muttered
I glared at her
“Sorry” she apologized
“Everyone is talking about her.. Even most
of the boys can’t take their eyes off her. It
like she had cast a spell on all of them”
Elizabeth whispered
I hated the fact that she was getting too
much attention from boys.

“Some of our classmates said she’s
snobbish. She hardly spoke to anyone,only
Elena and Temi” Caroline said
“Emeka told me that she ignored him and
Joseph when they tried to know her”
Elizabeth said
“Joseph went to her? ” I asked furiously
“Yes” she replied
Anger crashed over me at the mere
imagination of Joseph talking to Kate.
“Hey.. Calm down girl. Joseph is yours”
Elizabeth said
I tried to relax but I couldn’t.
I watched her smile at Elena and Temi as
they settled in their chairs to eat.


Katherine’s POV
“Can I ask you something?” Elena said
“Of course” I replied
“Please don’t be mad at me for this
question.. ” she said
“Sure” I responded
“Why do you hate Joseph?”
I glanced up at her
“I hardly know him” i said with a shrug.
Elena and Temi exchanged glances
“What made you think that I hate Joseph? ”
I asked

“You hardly spoke to him” Elena said
“And you never gave him the chance to
relate with you like us”
“Stop making it sound like i placed a
placard on my head, saying I Hate Joseph” I
said

Elena rolled her eyes
“I don’t hate anyone. I’m here to mind my
own business and read my books” I said
and hoped the conversation would end.
“Hello Senior Kate” A soft voice said
Two girls settled in the empty chairs.
Identical twins.
“Wow!” They exclaimed
“I admire you Senior Kate!”

One of the girls said. She had a pink
hairband on her head while the other one
had a blue band on.

I was a bit confused cause i haven’t seen
them before so exchanged glances with
Elena.

“I’m Nora, and this is Cora” the same girl
introduced
Nora and Cora.. Identical girls.
“It nice to sit here and talk to you!” Cora
said happily

I gave them a half smile
“Oh! She smiled at us!” Nora gasped and
gave Cora a high five.
“Nora.. Please we are eating..” Elena said
“Yes.. I know ” she said and looked back at
me

They both leaned forward on the table
“Perhaps.. Can we have your number?”
Nora asked
“Oops! Sorry girls I don’t have a cellphone”
I said

They looked at each other
“Are you serious? ” Nora asked with a wide
eye
I nodded

“Why?” Cora said
“hmm..nothing”
“So.. How do you communicate with your
boyfriend? ” Nora said
“Pardon?”
“Ahm.. Sorry… I meant.. to say.. Friends!..
How do you chat your friends up.. Just to
let them know you are doing fine” Nora
said
“I don’t have friends” I replied
“Are you human? ” Cora asked
“Yes”
“But.. But.. How come you don’t have a
cellphone..and friends too?” Nora said
“What about them?” Nora pointed to Elena
and Temi

“Hmm.. They are my classmates”
“Your classmates are your friends right?”
“I supposed so” i said with a shrug
Then they straightened up
“Why are you like this Senior Kate?”
Nora grumbled
“You don’t want to give us your number..
And we want you to be our school mother”
Cora said soberly
School Mother?

The image of Senior Faith flashed through
my mind. She was my school Mother in
Linda Girls College until Cynthia ruined
everything.
“I don’t think am the right person for you
girls” I said
“Why? ” Nora asked
Questions again.. These two girls never get
tired of question asking.
“I’m new to the system of things here”
“It doesn’t matter” Cora said
“Will you visit us at our place this
weekend? We are free” Nora said
“I’m sorry Girls” I said
“You can leave now” Temi said with a
frown on her face
The girls mumbled
“Bye Senior Kate” Nora waved as they both
walked away

“Don’t mind them..They can disturb for
Africa” Elena said
“God saved you!” Temi said
“Why?”
“That you didn’t give them your number or
else the whole school won’t rest. They will
go about bragging to their classmates that
they have your number” Elena said
“And soon Junior students will start calling
you up to say Hi” Temi added
“That’s silly” I said with a raised eyebrow
“Exactly” Elena said
“They are Joseph Siblings” Temi blurted
after a long silence
Oh! i didn’t expect that.. I never suspected
it.
