Betty stared at Edith suprised, what can she do, but Edith was wearing this determined face. Emeka nimbled at his meatpie, he was thinking of Betty, are his actions right? He should have listened to her. And this G-gal following him about, what does she want? Mtchew . He noticed some thing unusual about the restaurant he was in, on each table he saw a boy, each wearing a black jacket, they weren’t looking at him, so there’s nothing to fear. “Hi” He groaned, it was G-gal again, she sat down facing him, wearing that seductive smile.
Betty held her hand to stop her. “Hey steady
there. You don’t want the drama to start
now huh?” Betty chuckled, “Why don’t take a
look around you?” Edith said from
behind them. G-gal’s eyes moved round-
about five out of Jay-Jay’s boys were present.
Tiger waved his dagger as if to say hi, Rox
was cleaning his gun with a tissue, three other boy’s
adjusted their belts in a bid to show them the guns
and knives they were carrying. G-gal gasped,
Emeka too was like What the Bleep!
Even Betty was suprised, wow, Edith knew Jay- jay’s
boys? How comes she got them here. She felt
secured. “So you see…” Betty continued
“You shouldn’t try that okay, I’m not the Betty you
used to know, I’m now Jay-Jay’s sister.” she
chuckled. “And I am warning you, stop
stalking me! Stay off my affairs! Stop lingering in my paths” Betty told
her turning to leave. “Hey! Didn’t you forget something?” Edith was
laughing. “Oh yes!” Betty looked at her hands,
and whoof! Her hand landed on G-gal’s face, her other hand
followed swiftly. “And that’s just the foretaste of what
she would do to you, next time you cross her paths” Edith told
G-gal giving her a knock. She made some signs, and the
waitress brought three cans of maltina.
“Let’s party..” Edith whispered as she and Betty emptied the contents on G-gal’s head. “It’s enough. Let’s go.” Betty said dropping the can. They both left the restaurant with Tiger and the rest following suit. Emeka swallowed hard, he stared at the ‘maltina- drenched’ G-gal, she was crying now. He felt like bursting into fits of laughter, he was impressed, Bettyhill was fighting for him, she truly loved him. He left the restaurant happily.
Betty and her friend Edith rushed into their room gleefully. “Girlie, you are too much.” edith said hugging her friend. “You show her say you no be Igbo girl wey dem born and train in yoruba land for nothing” Edith was praising her. Betty laughed.
“Have you ever seen me dance before?” she asked Edith. “Omo, you sabi dance? Edith was laughing too. “Hey! Play this song…errm, is it gaga crazy? That one the guy was saying ‘sugar cane no be bamboo’..you gerrit?” Betty was removing her jacket. “We are really going crazy!” Edith replied searching for the song in her phone. They both started dancing, celebrating victory.
“Who else? Emeka now! ” Betty threw the phone and
it fell on the bed. “Hello?” Edith picked the
call “Hello? Baby…” “She’s not the one,
she can’t talk to you now! Call her
later” Edith snapped ending the call. “Go and
learn how to beg properly” she hissed.
Betty was still dancing and humming “who is in the
garden, a little fine, can I come and see her? No no no
no” Edith laughed smacking her buttocks.
“Don’t reduce the size o” Betty warned her playfully,
before slumping into bed.
society?” Reputation my foot! I like what I’m
doing, leave me
alone- Jay-Jay wanted to snap. “I’m sorry
dad.”
he said in a low voice “shut up! Now listen, no
more schooling for you!
You’re going to work in my company at
Zimbabwe! I’ve
made arrangements, you’re leaving next
week!”Robert
yelled before walking into his room.
Jay-Jay gasped, the first thought he had was Betty, he can’t leave her, not while G-gal is still alive. Exams was fast approaching, all the serious students are getting excited, while the dull ones are getting nervous. Betty was sitting with Emeka (they’ve reconciled) and Edith in the Library, they were studying with keen interest. She soon got bored;
“I’m tired” she sighed. “me too” Edithwhispered while Emeka grunted. “and famished too” Edith added. “Lets go to the coke village, we can come back here later” Betty suggested. “You guys go, I wanna finish solving this physics.” Emeka told them. They both left hurriedly because the Libarian was looking at them. Betty sipped her juice. “Girlie, I’ve been watching you for some time now, you seem withdrawn, always looking distant, wats up friend, or is it the exams?” Edith asked biting at her chicken. “hmm” betty smiled “come Betty! I asked a question and you just smiled?”
Edith queried “I’m fine” Betty’s voice was low. “I know that, but you aint fine in there” Edith pointed towards her heart “Its just that..I…its Jay-Jay” betty told her. “Whats with Jay-Jay ?” “He said he’s gonna be away for just two weeks, but it’s almost a month now, no trace of him, no calls, no texts…and worst of all Exams is just two weeks away.”
