“Jane come back here will you?” Sophia yelled out.“Mom! I am tired of this. Come on Mom!” Jane turned and bawled at Sophia. She was climbing down the stairs.“Oh my God, this is not happening to me right now”“Just call him and tell him not to come” “Look sweetie, he is your Dad no matter what happened between you both”“My Dad? Mom did you just call him my Dad?“Of course peach, that’s what he is and it’s unchangeable. You have to understand that and stop being childish”“Mom, that man left us when I was only six years old and till then I haven’t seen him. Now he wants to move back to us after I just celebrated my seventeenth birthday and you cool with it? How are you sure he hasn’t another family over there?”“Jane, watch your damn mouth. Think before you speak. What the hell do you mean by that?” Sophia grumbled loudly.“I was just assuming, that’s all” Jane prattled .“He is coming back to us and that’s it. If you don’t want him, I do”“Fine, do whatever you want” “Now you are
After the rehearsal, Jane left Kate and Kylie and headed home. On her way, she was stopped by Max and his sister Mara.“Hi Jane!”“What is it Mara?” “Are you preparing for the race? Oh come on, there is no need for that because I’m still gonna win your team no matter how hard you guys prepare” Mara bragged.“Really? I really like it when you brag” Jane said and forced a smile to her. Max chuckled lightly.“Don’t mind her Jane, she always thinks she is better than anyone else but she’s not”“Of course I am. Wait, Max are you supporting her right now?” Mara asked, staring disappointedly at Max.“No that’s not what I meant, I was only saying…”“Oh fuck you” Mara concluded and left them.“Jane I’m umm! Sorry for what happened at school today. Can you forgive me please?” he said and Jane nodded with a smile.“Really?”“ALEX!” Mara yelled from a distance.“I gotta go then, see you in school tomorrow” he smiled and raced off to meet Mara. Jane stared at him for a while and continued hom
6:30pm, Kate got home and met her Dad in the garden watering the flowers and vegetables. He was wearing an old khaki trouser, a black shirt and was carrying a big water keg.“Hi Dad” She called out to him and he turned, facing her.“Hi sweetie, you came back late today, everything okay?” he said loudly.“Yeah, I didn’t money for cab”“Oh dear, you should have met a sports mate for a ride”“It was just Jane, Kylie and I. Mom home?”“Must be in the kitchen making dinner, I guess” he responded.“Alright Dad, I’ll be inside”“I’m joining you guys right away” he concluded and continued watering the flowers while Kate strolled inside. She walked into her room, fell on her bed and placed her hands on her stomach and sighed heavily. She took off her shirt, trouser and wore a blue gown and was about to leave her room when her phone ranged.“Hello Miss Sophia”“Hey Kate, where are you at?”“Home, why?”“Can you come over and stay with Jane”“Is something wrong with Jane?”“She is acting all wei

7:45 in school the next day, the athletes were busy training themselves for the forthcoming school even. The racers were all ready and set on their on their sportswear and were all in line including Jane, Kate and Kylie. The coach blew the whistle and they raced off. Jane was the fastest among the other qualified fourteen racers but as she was running fast like an Antelope, thoughts about her returning father passed her mind. She slowed down a little and fell down. After she fell, it took about thirty seconds before the others could reach her and ran past her giggling. Only Kate and Kylie stopped and helped her up and out of the field.“What’s wrong with you Jane, you are killing yourself slowly” “It’s nothing, I’m fine”“Thank God she fell, I could have died before getting that finish line” Kate sighed heavily, sweating profusely. A black girl named Lizzy won that particular race. Kenny was in the class writing while her Cat sat the table, staring at the book. It was leis
3pm, Heather, Jane, Kate, Kenny and Sophia were at Heather’s apartment staring at each other.“Wait! You mean you want me to stalk your stalker?” Kenny asked Heather.“Yeah and I bet she’s gonna call anytime. So I want you to hack her location and allow me to the rest”“You didn’t tell me I was gonna hack something” Kenny glanced at Kate and Jane.“I’m sure I did” Jane simpered.“I’m gonna pay you, in case you are wondering about that”“Fine. When do I start?”“What’s your charge skinny girl?”“Mom!” “What? We need to know her charge before hiring her. I didn’t ask a bad question”“I’m not charging anything. I’ll just do it” she said, still carrying her Cat.“Like a pro?”“She’s a pro Sophia” Kate glanced at Sophia.“As suspicious as a cat” Sophia stared at Kenny.“I’m as honest as a mirror”“I think you are as obnoxious as an alligator”“I’m as gaudy as a butterfly”“No you are as small as Tom and tiny as an atom”“You are as talkative as a magpie” Kenny glared at her and the re
Thirty minutes earlier, 2:25pm, Ben met Killian at his office where he was busy discussing with someone on phone. He ended the call the moment he saw Ben.“I thought Miss Heather is supposed to be at work about the dress. She’s not been present at mall”“Yeah there was a complication about her work”“May I know about it?” Ben asked and Killian glanced at him.“The wedding was canceled” Killian said slowly and scoffed.“Canceled? Why? I mean, it’s not possible”“Nothing is impossible in politics”“Did they any reason?”“Not that I know of”“And please don’t tell anybody about this. It’s not been publicly yet”“I won’t” he smiled and turned to leave.“Are you okay sir?”“Yeah” Killian chuckled nervously.“Yeah I’m fine” he added and Ben left. Ben headed to the lobby, looking gaudy and scared. He opened the back door and met three men standing beside the door, wearing yellow long gowns, covering their faces with mask and carrying rifles.“What the fuck kept you long?” one of the
2:50PM, Jake got home and met the family preparing for lunch at the lawn.“Hey Jake, where have you been? You really missed in the barbecue grinning” Clifford, his brother chuckled softly.“Yeah I was hanging out with friends, I guess I wasn’t needed for lunch after all” Jake sputtered and Clifford glanced at him.“Why would you say that? It’s probably been seven hours since you left home. Did you even go to school?” “When did you start keeping time for me Clifford?”“Jake come on, that’s no way to talk to your brother” their mother interrupted.“Then tell him not to interfere in my life shits” Jake blurted, staring at Clifford.“Honey, why don’t you come let’s have dinner instead?” Thelma, Clifford’s wife whispered slowly, holding him around his arm while dragging him to the table. Mrs. Rose stared at angrily at Jake and sighed out.“Come on let’s lunch” she grinned and headed to the table. Jake stared at the barbecue pan behind him, sighed and headed to the table. There was sil
