Chapter 12~ The fight and the text

Isere didn't get any phone call from Kelvin that night; it's been four days since she last heard from him.

She had texted him asking if he was back home but got no reply. She was hurt that she got no text from him as he left her with so many thoughts of what could possibly go wrong.

Today would make it the fourth day since she last saw and heard from him.

She stared at her small Nokia phone expecting a text but none came, "Stop stressing, maybe he is busy," Ejiro said, dressing her bed.

The door suddenly banged open as Morgan walked in with a girl with her. The last time they saw and heard from Morgan was last week  Saturday.

Morgan was dressed in a teared blue jean trouser that showed her laps at both sides and a black net crop top with a sport bra inside; She had a red long human hair on. The girl that came in with her was in a v shaped teared bump short and a white long sleeve crop top. She had a nose ring on and a lot of piercing on her ears. The girl was no doubt a beautiful dark and shine beauty.

She was as tall as Morgan too. "Good morning," Isere greeted but only got a nod from Morgan who didn't seem to care much about her.

Ejiro shook her head before taking her phone from her bed. "Sit down," Morgan ushered the girl who followed her.

The girl walked to where Morgan had directed for her to sit and took a sit. She opened her clutched and brought out an Oris cigarette, she took a stick from the pack and placed it in between her lips, getting a lighter from her clutch.

Ejiro saw her and was quick to speak up, "What do you want to do?"

The girl looked up and Ejiro after furrowing her long brows. "What does it look like?" She retorted rudely.

"You can't smoke in here?" Ejiro told her firmly.

She hissed, she was about to speak before Morgan interfered, "this girl, wetin be your problem gan self?"  Morgan asked Ejiro.

(What is your problem?)

"My problem is she can't smoke here, if she wants to smoke, she should go outside," Ejiro retorted. Isere stood where she was watching what was going on.

"Come beat her or push her comot if she smoke na, your own dey too much! You go dey do like person wey no dey sheet! Mtchweee!" Morgan raised her voice, irritating the hell out of Ejiro.

( Come and fight her if she smokes in here, you act like someone that does not deficate!)

Ejiro stomach churned from irritation and Morgan words had pricked on her. She always prayed to never have someone as Morgan for a roommate, one of the reason she didn't want to stay in school hostel.

"Morgan you try oo, na small children like this, na dem be ur roomate, tofiakwa!"  The girl spoke lighting the cigarette.

(You are trying Morgan, having kids as your roommate. God forbid it!)

Ejiro walked to where the girl was, she slapped the cigarette off her lips and it fell to the floor, she stepped on it with her slippers waiting for the girls reaction.

"Chimo! "  The dark skinned girl had spoken before slapping Ejiro real hard with the back of her palm. Isere gasped.

(What!)

Ejiro was quick to slap her back as Morgan flew to where Ejiro was in an attempt to hit her but Isere was quick to go in between Ejiro and the girl trying to seperate them but instead all the slaps the girls threw at each other touched Isere more but she still struggled to seperate.

Morgan pulled Ejiro back, pulling her hair as she began to pinch her ear with her long nails.

Ejiro winced in pain as she turned to face Morgan to pull her hair only to realise that it was a wig. She didn't let that get on her way she she used her knee to kick her on her belly. While Isere held unto the black girl, the black girl pushed Isere off making her fall to the floor.

The black girl walked over to where Ejiro was, seeing that Ejiro was dominating Morgan already, she pulled Ejiro but Ejiro wasn't giving in as she used her elbow to hit the girl on her nose, then she goes back to slapping Morgan on her face.

Two girls in the other room could hear noises as they rush to Isere room and saw the fight, the two girls went to hold up the fight, as they both respectively held unto Ejiro and Morgan while Isere held unto the black girl who was obviously stronger than Isere.

"Idiot thing, leave me lemme beat her, i go tell her say I grow up for ikwerre!" Ejiro yelled trying to get off from the girl who held unto her tightly.

(I will let her know I grew up in ikwerre!)

"Oloshi, short thing, stinky pig, I go beat you today!" Morgan yelled back

(Useless person, stinky pig, I will beat you today!)

Ejiro laughed, "Ashawo Kobo Kobo, bleaching idiot with three weird skin colours!" Ejiro yelled still battling to get off.

(One Kobo prostitute, Bleaching skin with three different colours!)

The girl that held Morgan had dragged her out of the room while Isere still struggled to hold unto the dark girl. Isere was running out of breath as she wasn't someone who was that physically strong.

Finally, the girl got out of her hold, "I will get you back for my bleeding nose!" She yelled before walking out.

When Ejiro had elbowed her, it had resulted to her having a bleeding nose.

The other girl finally let go of Ejiro, "What happened?" She asked.

"Just forget the issue," Ejiro told her.

"I swear the next time they come at me, one of them must faint!" She raised her voice.

Isere had sprained her ankle when the black girl had pushed her the other time. "Ejiro it's fine," Isere told her limping as she walked to her bed.

"God help me, if me and her would not break each other head everyday!" Ejiro muttered.

Isere phones beeped, she took it and stared at the message, it was from Kelvin. 'If you are free tomorrow, let's meet!'

A small smile crept into Isere's face, her heart began to beat in joy.

*************************************

Morgan did not return back last night and neither Ejiro nor Isere cared. Isere had finally calmed Ejiro down and Ejiro had apologised to Isere for her sprained ankle.

Ejiro applied Shea butter on her ankle, telling her by tomorrow it wouldn't be as painful again. Isere hailed Ejiro for her strength in fighting two people. Isere wouldn't dare fight anyone as she knew she wasn't physically strong enough.

Isere received a text from Kelvin telling her, he was outside of her hostel. She looked at herself in the small hand mirror that belonged to Ejiro once more before walking out.

Isere was dressed in a gray v neck short sleeve jumpsuit that stopped just before her knees. As usual she had packed her hair in a bun and jelled the front into styles.

When she reached where Kelvin car was parked, she took a minute to admire him since he was unaware of her presence. He rested on his dark green Nissa Xterra, he was dressed in a camour  trouser and a white tank top. She cleared her throat to get his attention.

"Hey," he smiled, swiftly glancing at her outfit. "Hi," she greeted shyly. She didn't know what to say or what to do.  All her sudden anger towards him had gone just seeing him. Her heart began to drum erratically.

She still wondered if he saw her text or not. He opened the car for her to enter as as soon as she was seated, he walked over to the driver's side.

"Where are you taking me to?" She asks him. He looked at her for some  brief seconds before looking back at the road, "Somewhere...you will see," he told her.

"How have you been?" He asked her.

"I've been good, and you?" She asked back.

"Fine, just a stressful week!"

"You...never called that night?" Isere stuttered. She had to battle with her inner self before she could speak up and ask the question.

Kelvin rubbed the back of his neck, "I am so sorry," he whispered but loud enough for her to hear.

"It's fine," Isere chuckled nervously, "I was just worried that something bad happened  since I didn't hear anything from you after sending you few text."

Her words had sent  warmth into his heart knowing she cared. "I wasn't with my phone until yesterday, my friend had hidden it from me." He retorted. "But that's not an excuse," he added.

"We are here," he told her. He removed his seat belt and Isere does the same still staring at the building in front of her.

'Royals Perfect house' was bodly written on top of of the building. What do they do here? She thought.

"What...do they do here?" She asked  stuttering.

He cleared his throat as he moved closer to her placing his arms around her shoulder, she shivered.

"You will find out soon," was his simple reply.
