“Are you guys ready for the long flight?” Aunty Sue asked that night as we were seated in the living room, we were just chilling in the house, Alicia was playing with Gwynn, Dan’s kid sister on the couch with their toys, and I was on my phone lost in my own world
“Yes Aunty and by the way are there kids of my age at your place, you know I am going to leave Gwynn here or can I travel with her now that she is the only friend I have here?” Alicia asked and I smiled, Aunty Sue’s mouth curved into a smile, Alicia was always social, she would fit anywhere, she was not a choosy kid and that is what I always loved about her, always social and welcoming
“Not really sweetheart, Gwynn will have to remain here so you will always be coming to visit her here when schools break” Aunty said with a smile plastered on her face and Alicia just looked at her

CHAPTER NINE“Where have you been all these years? Are you not even ashamed of yourself why are you now showing p here now after mom’s death, you didn’t even show up in her burial, what makes you think that we are happy to see you huh?” I asked him and he just looked at me like I was some statue“Oh my God look at how you have grown into such a fine boy, you can even stand up for yourself, and the guts just like your mom’s the only difference is that she was a coward and didn’t know how to take care of herself and even her kids, she was a bitch who deserved to rot in hell I am glad she died by the way and I am not even remorseful for what I did, I am in fact glad I did, you remind me of her promiscuity, she lied to me all those dam years and I am not just going to stand here and watch you disrespect me” he said and I just chuckled, I might have been afraid of him when I was young but at that moment, I was re

CHAPTER TEN“Aunty you want to mean that mean that dad doesn’t own that house? I mean I thought he owned it’ I asked immediately the car drove off from the compound, on last look at our used to be old house and I wiped the lone tear that was threatening to fall from my eyes, I knew I was going to miss that place to doubt, I had grown to love that place and got used to Chicago as my birth place and my home, all my friends, the college friends and all my childhood friends that I was going to leave behind, I didn’t know if I would come back to check on them, or maybe say hi to them, especially Dan and by the way I wasn’t surprised when Ivanna didn’t show up in mom’s burial, I knew she was just pretending to care when deep down she was just trying to laugh at me, I don’t even know why I was falling for her, such a wicked soul, my mom was right about her, she was just someone to pretend she likes you or cares about you until she gets

Ooh, how are you? I didn’t know you were here, you are? Melissa asked the moment she spotted Alyssa“I’m good, I’m Alyssa, your brother thought I could be of help in the kitchen so here I am I hope we didn’t wake you up?” she asked and Melissa just shook her head“oh no, I am Melissa by the way, I just woke up because I was feeling hungry and I smelled some nice aroma coming from here, you can’t blame me ca

CHAPTER FOURTEEN“So, how are you liking the school so far?”Alyssa asked as we were seated in the cafeteria, we didn’t have a class at the moment so she suggested she take me around school but before that she wanted us to garb something from the cafeteria, I was feeling hungry so I just ordered for fries, we were seated at the far end of the cafeteria, there were a few students so it was less crowdie“Not bad, for starter I already hate that lecturer, the one that just gave us notes and didn’t really bother to tell us more into the unit, I am starting to think that he is just a lazy ass who wont take his units serious I mean who gives notes when we have less than a month to do exams and you said he has never stepped in your case since the semester started, I am having a bad feeling about this already I don’t know if you are feeling me here” I asked and she smiled“You are not being
