Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 55
after remembering the good times I had with Adams, I quickly took off my uniform and drop them on the bag I keep dirty clothes for my mum to wash…
I opened my wardrobe and brought out a purple danshiki top with joggers(trouser) and dashed out of my door to get something to eat from the kitchen, as I was pouring the corn flakes in my bowl,the thought of Adams flashed to my mind,how can somebody’s lips taste so good, I wish to kiss him again..
I poured some water and milk into the bowl,return the flakes carton into the fridge,chioma am home(I heard my mum call from the living room),
Chioma:mummy welcome (as I ran to the living room with my bowl),chioma is it true about what happened in your school today?
about what?(I replied)
emeka na,I went to their shop to buy stuff but I found their shop locked,I asked the shop beside them where they were and they told emeka is in the hospital, that he fell down in school…
Chioma:yes oo,I saw it,pray he recovers…
I continue munching on the flakes on my bowl while my mum was busy in the kitchen,after I finished eating i walked up to my mum…
chioma:mummy pls can I take a walk outside for a bit…
Chioma’s Mum:why?,you have never taken a walk before…
Chioma:nothing just felt I should stretch my legs a bit
chioma’s mum:okay be careful,remember what happened the last time,I give you just 30minutes
**after dropping my plate in the sink,I walked out of the house, how come I’ve lived here for some years now and i’ve never seen adams on my street?,is it that he doesn’t go out or what?(I was deep in though),suddenly I heard my name, CHIOMA?,I turned and saw Adams coming out of his gate with his guitar wrapped around from his neck to his waist…
Adams: where are you off to?
Chioma:nowhere,just taking a walk, do you take this guitar with you all the time?
Adams: am off to music class,I go there every evening from Monday to Saturday…
Chioma:what do you want to study in school?
Adams: music..
Chioma:why music(as we stared at each other straight into our eyes)
we kept talking and walking until we got to a particular building that says on the banner(DAVIS MUSIC ACADEMY), some other teenagers who came for practice were also outside with each of the instruments they want to learn,some were holding trumpet, keyboard,saxophone, flute,drum sticks,talking drum,violine, etc…..
Chioma:wow, learning in this place will be very fun with lots of friends,I have to start going now before my mum get worried…
Adams: why don’t you tell your mum to allow you come and learn here, I promise you it would be fun…
why we were talking, a slim and tall light skinned girl holding a guitar walked up to Adams.
Adams what’s up na(she said in a flirty tone),I’ve been calling your phone for the past 10minutes now…
Adams: sorry I left it at home in my room,help me keep this inside I will join you guys shortly before class starts…
she collected his guitar and gave me a look that says,”BACK OFF HIS MINE”(as she entered the building)..
Adams: Chioma can I have your number?
Chioma:number?, (I laughed shyly),am sorry but I don’t have a phone. .
Adams:you must be kidding right?,how can you tell me you don’t have a phone at this age?
Chioma:but my mum promised me a phone after this exams if my result are good…
Adams? (some group of girls shouted)
what(he replied with annoyance)
class has started (they chorused together)
Adams: alright chioma I will see you tomorrow morning (as he held my both hands),I felt butterflies in my stomach immediately as I felt his hands,i let go of my hands and jogged into the building…
**am beginning to feel jealous over those girls that always push themselves to be close to him,I have to tell my mum for me to join this music academy so I can see him more often,even if I didn’t learn anything lemme just be close to him,how can he be single when those girls who look more beautiful than I am are all over him,they all look like models…
I quickly turned back and walk home…
**later that night at Dinner…
Chioma:mummy there’s this music academy I saw close to the estate beside our street,where they teach all kind of musical instrument so mummy am thinking I should learn,you know I stopped learning keyboard when I was little so pls I want to perfect my skill,can I go?(as I pouted my mouth)
she looked at me for a while…
.
mum:find out how much is the form so I can register you,since you have nothing doing at home…
Chioma:wow really, ahh thank mummy, I love you (as I stood up from my chair to give her a tight hug)…
after dinner I packed up the plates and trashed them in the sink…
Chioma:ehm,mummy what about daddy(as i walked into the sitting room)
chioma’s mum:his fine,he will be traveling out tomorrow for a business meeting, he said I should tell you..
Chioma:okay, good night mum(as I walk into my room)
I entered the shower for a quick bath, after that I put on my Pajamas before bringing out my book to read for tomorrow’s exam..
I read for 2hours before going to sleep…
6:am in the morning…
I rolled out of bed with a happy face,slid in my slippers and dashed into the bathroom to take my bath…
after spending like forever to wash all part of my body not to stink in front of Adams,I cleaned myself with a clean towel,creamed every part of my body,put on my other clean uniform and shoes, brush down my hair and head out of the door for breakfast,my mum wasn’t out yet so I switch on the TV to watch my favorite channel(Nickelodeon) before she comes out…
5minutes later mum mum came out fully dressed,ehhen Chioma this one that you dress up early today what is going on?
Chioma:because of exam na(I lied)
she quickly walked into the kitchen to make plantain and egg…
**
Few minutes later....
Mama:Chioma come and carry your food oo(she called from the kitchen)
I got and quickly collected my food and walk to the dinning table…
my mum came to join me on the table.
Chioma I will be coming back a bit late today so I want you to remain indoor as soon as you get back from school and don’t open door for strangers, do you hear me?
Chioma:yes ma(as I raised my hand for a salute)
suddenly we heard a knock on the door… (a smile crossed my face immediately)
Chioma’s mum: Chioma are you expecting somebody?
