Episode 8 :::::::::::::: Dapo walked gingerly into Sasha’s room, he has made up his mind to apologise to her atleast to clear the air. “You can’t knock?” Sasha asked peering into her mirror. “Sorry, I forgot.” Dapo replied standing beside her. Where would he start from? “Sasha, please I’m sorry about what happened.” he began. “Why are you sorry?” Sasha smacked her lips as she generously applied lip gloss to it. “I know I’ve done you wrong, but I’m sorry.” he searched her steel eyes. “What if I died? Would you be here making sorry comments?” “Thank God you didn’t. But please…” he took her hands. “Okay, its over now.” Sasha turned to face her mirror. Dapo watched her as she tied and untied her locks, he wished things would be normal again. Sasha used to be his favourite sibling; right from the day she was born, he even shared his room with her when she was younger. He remembered how he would spend his pocket money buying sweets and chocolates for her, how he carried her everywhere he went. Their bond was so strong. Whatever severed that bond he never could tell, how their relationship turned sour he wished he knew… “What are you looking at?” Sasha cut rudely into his thoughts “Errm…nothing..” he looked startled. “You were gaping at my hair.” she smiled, “Its beautiful.” he couldn’t help saying. “Thanks Brother Dee” she said buckling her sandals. Brother dee? When last did she call him that? He’d even forgotten. “You’re leaving today?” she gestured at the NYSC uniform he was putting on. “Yea, this morning.” he replied. “Take care then.” She strapped her bag. “I will, you too.” he hugged her warmly, he couldn’t recall when last he got a hug from her. “I’ll miss ya.” he added “Are sure?” she held his hands “When you all hate me? You would never miss me.” “I don’t hate you, I love my baby sister.” He hugged her again. A sweet reunion,- he thought. :.:::::::::::: Kenny used his question paper to wipe a bench before sitting down. “So this is the so-called mock exams?” Sasha made a face sitting next to him. “Yea dearie, I hope our WAEC would be as simple as this.” Kenny nodded. “I pray!” “Sassy-locks, don’t you think its high time we bought our jamb? We’re wasting time o” Kenny asked. “Yes yes, maybe this week” Sasha agreed. “What school would you apply for?” She asked rumpling her question paper. “Unilag for sure! And you?” “I’m gonna remain in this state, I don’t like Lagos.” she said firmly. “I don’t wanna remain in an Ibo land for ever jor!” Kenny nudged her. “Does that matter? Atleast I’m used to the environment, no time for changes.” Sasha replied peering into pace. “Or…are you staying back cos of your new boyfriend?” He teased “which boyfriend?” “That one with dreadlocks, is it micheal you call him?” Kenny replied. “Badt boy! Mike is just a friend o” She laughed. “mike is just a friend o” Kenny mimicked her. “come on, he’s just a friend.” she pushed him. “I agree.” “Talking about Micheal, let’s go visit him, since we are less busy” Sasha suggested. “Visit ke! With school uniforms?” Kenny laughed. “doesn’t matter, lets just go” “the gateman won’t let us out till school closes” Kenny pointed out. “True.” she thought for a while. “Let’s fly the fence at the back yard” “ha! Sassy! Fly fence?” Kenny disagreed. “C’mon! Follow me nah! I promise to take the blame.” She pulled him off the bench. “Okay” Kenny reluctantly followed her, and they walked towards the school’s back yard. “What about our bags?” he asked as they walked down the mainroad, “We’ll come back for them later.” Sasha replied as she flagged down a Cab. “The federal uni.” she told the driver before pushing the nervous Kenny into the cab. “Don’t worry, we’ll be fine.” She squeezed his palms.
