I focused my sole attention on the clock in my room as it made its usual ticking sound. Putting my undivided attention on anything at this point was all i could do. I was lost on what to do or even how i should react at this point."You do know i'm not going to eat you or anything Rica" I heard Dili suddenly say out of nowhere.As you've probably guessed, Dili and I were currently in my room sitting on my bed. And please don't get any funny ideas from what i just said. While i was sitting down on a far end of the bed, Dili was also on another end. Good thing my bed was big enough for that.Pouting I replied. "Of course I know that""Well the huge distance between us says otherwise" He released a low chuckle gesturing to the huge gap between us. I still couldn't believe that my mother agreed to this. My heart has been beating insanely irregularly since we got to my room. I was admittedly nervous."Fine" I said with a sigh. I stood up and moved closer to were he was. Now looking back i

A whole week has passed now and Mrs Uzora's condition wasn't getting any better, which only made both I and Dili somber. I don't know why I felt this way, she wasn't even my own mother but I knew that the sadness I felt was bonafide.The past week I made it my top priority to always be there for Dili. I even began to skip classes on my own free will just to keep Dili company in the hospital. For the first time in my life, my sole attention wasn't on anything school related, but on someone I earnestly cared about. And I have to say, it was quite refreshing.A hand full of people have visited also, my parents being one of them visited once, and in that one particular time they brought bouquet of flowers with them.... shocker, who knew they could think about something other than themselves. But they didn't stay that long as Mrs Uzora was sound asleep by that time. Which i was highly thankful for. Dili has been trying to be his normal self, well almost normal self. Although he cracks jok

I sat completely rigid on the chair, staring at Mrs Uzora without daring to blink."Are you messing with me?" I asked in a dull tone"Yeah you're definimessing with me, that's just the only explanation" Giving me a sad smile she said."I have no reason to...as you put it....'mess' with you Rica. It all really happened" From the honest look in her eyes I knew immediately that she was telling the truth. But it was just to absurd to believe such a thing happened."So you're telling me" I started slowly trying to understand what exactly was happening myself "That the first time I met you and Dili was in New York City?" I really just wanted a clear confirmation."Yes, pretty much" She released a small cough after saying this. I immediately stood up to go to her and help but she rose her hand indicating that she was alright."Unbelievable" I muttered "Then why don't I remember anything?" I asked confused.The thing is that I do remember going to New York last two years for treatment, but I

"Rica" Mrs Adenike called my name once more. A disappointed look on her face. God this was not looking good.Everyone in the class was staring at me. Judging looks all spotted on their faces. Whispers everywhere in the air. This was definitely not looking good. I know I didn't do it, but they all didn't know that. And I'm very sure they won't be too kind on caring if I was actually the one or not that took it.I could see Runke who was unfortunately at the seat by my side, laughing lightly. Of course, who else would have been able to slip the phone in my bag if not her. Adaeze was still standing by the class entrance door smirking widely at me. I knew I was in deep trouble by this point in time."I didn't do it" I muttered out. My throat began to feel scratchy. No, tears not now please.I knew my words only wasn't enough prove that I didn't infact do it. I had to think fast."But the phone was indeed found in your bag pack, and no one else's. I really don't know what you want me to do
