Amma was less harsh to Adade than she was before. They had been talking on the phone and through WhatsApp.
“Ei, lover girl," Xtha said as she joined her on her bed as she was busily whatsapping Adade.
“Oh please, I'm not in love with him wai." She said.
“You're just trying to convince yourself you aren't, by the way, if you are that's cool but just be careful," Kate added.
“Since when did you become a relationship counsellor, Holico mama ( Holy)?" Xtha asked Kate.
“Ma friend, ma mendwene me ho, na wopr3 dodo( Let me be, you worry too much)" Kate said picking a bar of soap and her dirty clothes.
“Aren't you girls washing today?" She asked them.
“Wait for me, " Amma said jumping off her bed and taking her dirty clothes to wash. She put her phone into her locker and locked it as she followed Kate out to wash.
The next day was visiting hours and Noëlle was excited she was going to see her eldest sister who had just returned from the states after her 6-year studies.
She'd missed her a lot and both of them were closer than the rest of their siblings.
“Are your parents visiting you tomorrow?" She asked Brieanna as they walked to the class after dining. “Of course they are, I can't wait to see them." She added.
"Same here, my big sister would be coming too, it's been long I had seen her." She said waving to Adade who was walking with his friends behind them.
“Once upon a time, you didn't want anything to do with him and now, you guys are like best friends or what?" Brieanna spat jealously.
“Oh Yaa, don't be jealous yeah, you're my best friend in the whole wide world, sissy's before dicks." She said poking her and making her smile.
If only she knew!
The day flew by, and finally, it was visiting. They cleaned their room and then laid white bedsheets on their mattresses for inspection. After the inspection, parents started coming in. Students moved around the campus talking to their parents and siblings.
Amma walked to the car park with Kate to meet her sister and her parents. Kate's parents had already left because they had a conference to attend to so they dropped off the stuff she needed and then sent her money to her Mtn Mobile wallet.
“Nancy!" She called and run to hug her.
“Noëlla, I've missed you," Nancy said hugging her as Kate stood awkwardly looking at them.
“Mom, Dad, Nancy, Kobby, meet my hostel mate and friend, Kate. Kate, my family." Amma introduced.
“Nice to meet you guys too." She said as Kobby pulled her aside to talk to her. He had recently completed SHS and was waiting for his results.
Her parents had to leave for business, so they gave her money and then left her with her brother and sister. Kobby and Kate were a little further from Amma and her sister.
“Any crushes or boys?" Nancy asked.
“Oh, Nancy is that all you could ask?" She blushed.
“No, but that's what I want to know." She smiled at her.
“There's this guy, who I'm getting to know." Noëlla let out.
“Is he hot?" Nancy teased.
“He's nice." She blushed.
“It's not bad to date in school, but be careful, be really careful because sometimes the people you once trusted can be your worst nightmare." She advised.
“Thanks, Nancy, " Amma added.
“...You boys and your fake compliments, all you know how to do is to give false hope that's all," Kate told Kobby.
“I'm not like the rest, I am different, just one chance Kate," Kobby replied
“The famous national anthem, 'I'm different', there's no difference amongst you guys, you're all the same, the lies and heartbreak, Kobby I'm not ready for all this. Besides, you'd be at the University soon and then Kate Dadzie would be long forgotten, you'd meet beautiful girls there and I'd be left heartbroken. I'm sorry but my answer still remains no." Kate said.
“I'd prove to you, I am different Kate,I will." He added as he took her number. They talked for a while and then Kate helped Noëlla carry her stuff to the dorm. Her sister gave Kate some amount of money before they left school.
“Kobby was asking you out, right?" Amma asked her before they got to the dorm.
“Yea, but I said no so don't worry." She said.
“Why, he's a nice guy and different from the rest." Noëlla defended.
“That's what he said, so we exchanged contacts when he said he'd prove himself." Kate smiled.
“Okay, I'm sure he'd pass," Amma said as they entered the room.
“Bro, the shoddy how far( How far with the girl)?" Adade's friend asked.
“Bro a dey make progress, very soon she go be my girl." He bragged.
“Okay, no yawa." His friend said as they walked off to the dorm.
