Amy visited Alice later that day and Alice wouldnt stop talking about Tony and what happened between she, Tony and Gilbert. Amy noticed a glow in her face that wasnt there before.
‘girlfriend, are you sure you are not crushing on this Mr. Tony Brown of yours huh?’ she asked with a mischievous look on her face.
‘Han han now, Amy why are you talking like this. I was just gisting you but if you dont want, i can change the subject’ she said frowning
Amy laughed loudly.
‘lest i forget, Benjamin’s mum asked of you’ she informed her.
Alice smiled and promised to visit them later this week.
Amy soon left after informing her to be careful of Gilbert and his mischief and to try to get closer to Tony. Alice chided Amy for being naughty but deep within her, she really wanted to see Tony again. She remembered she had his contact, she was tempted to call but didnt…….

Maria refused to have dinner with Nneka. She insisted on waiting for her dad to return. Nneka didnt bother talking to her but the anger in her heart was welling up. She felt like smacking the living daylight out of Maria. She invited Rhoda to join her on the table which she did. They chatted like friends and this made Maria angry. She was supposed to be the one Nneka was talking to not Rhoda.

‘Rhoda, what are you doing there? Have you ironed my school uniform? Is my bag arranged? And what about my shoe, is it polished huh?’ she asked.

Those words hit Nneka like a tornado. She rushed to Maria and pounced on her. With the aggressiveness she put in it, if not for the daily intervention of Rhoda, only God knows what would have happened to Maria.
