" Hello" Someone greeted.
" Who is it this time?" Chelsea thought, due to her experience in the morning.
She just Finished teaching her class and is about to go to her shop, and since she is not a full time teacher( a Free- lancer ), she can go any time she wants.
" Angle " The same voice called out.
" You!" The person called out.
" You there, the young lady putting on pink gown and has long afro hair" The voice stated.
Chelsea knew quite well she was putting on a pink dress and has long afro hair, but just to make sure there was no one else putting on that same color of gown outside the school building, she looks in front of her. Since there was no one like that, she turns around and sees the last person she wants to see. The very same person who almost (not totally) spoilt her day; "DENISE".
The young man from before, who stopped her in the morning.
" Wow we meet again, is this fate or what?" Denise asked in wonder.
" You again!? She exclaimed.
" Yes, me again." he answered and asked "How have you been? ,Or are you not happy to see me? " pretending to be offended.
" Wait, are you stalking me or something?" she asked ignoring his question, unable to comprehend Why he was at the same place with her, at the same time, again in one day; Except he was stalking her, which can't be true.
" Rude !" He stated , " Unlike your assumption that I'm stalking you" he said, doing an air quote with his fingers, meaning what she is saying , is not true.
" It is a coincidence that I'm here right now, although I do admit my friend saw you when you entered into the school premises. I'm telling you because I don't believe in lying and to show you I'm not a lier like you think. Although I twisted the truth a little bit this morning, in order to talk to you. I will admit your face looked quite familiar and I just didn't want to miss an opportunity to know you. And as a good person that I am, I saw you and decided to say Hi, which you know normal people do when they see someone they know. But I'm guessing it was not welcome by you" he added angrily offended by her word, that he was stalking her.
Denise would not be brought so low as to do that, for Goodness sake he has his own self-respect and stalking someone no matter the reason was wrong, except he was tempted in this case, although he did not. Not that he didn't want to, if given the chance he might fall into the temptation. Thank God his teenage sisters attended the school.
When he came, he asked the school receptionist , if there was a teacher bearing the name Chelsea, because she couldn't have been a student. He was not a cradle -snatcher, and by a stroke of luck the lady at the receptionist desk, told him all he needed to know, thinking he was a parent, even though he didn't tell her that.
" Well what do you expect me to think?" She asked as he just starred at her quietly.
" What are you doing here anyway?" She asked him, since he didn't answer her previous question.
" Well for your information, I came to pick up my sisters, and you?" He asked.
" I don't really have to answer that, since you might be stalking me and how true is it that you have sisters that are teenagers?" She asked.
" Well, unlike some peoples assumption of my age on first glance , meaning you; I'm just 25 and I have the right , just like everyone else to have teenage sisters" He stated a little bit offended that he has to explain himself to her.
" And you are not that pretty for me to be stalking you" He added in anger, before he knew it she gave him a slap.
" What was that for!?" He shouted in surprise.
" That's for insulting me , wanting to make me feel less and bad about myself" She shouted right back.
" Brother Den, what's wrong?" Chelsea heard a female voice ask from behind her.
" Why did she slap you? " Another voice asked, as she turned around and saw two teenage girls from one of the classes she taught in ( SSS3), Nora and Dora ( Ijeoma and Ifeoma), also know as IJ and IFY, they are twins.
" Ask her that , she is here?" Denise told them.
" Miss. Okoro, What did my brother do, to make you slap him ?" The one named Dora asked.
" Brother?" She asked surprised, " so he was telling the truth" she thought to herself.
" Told you so" Denise said triumphantly.
" Yes brother " Nora the eldest of twin stated.
" What did you do, Brother Denny? " Dora asked as she calls him the name he is usually called, whenever he gets in trouble at home.
" What do you mean, what did I do?" He asked his sister, " What you are suppose to say; is how dare she do that to your loving, caring elder and only brother and also ask her, what she said to me" he added.
" She called me a stalker, for your information and thanks for asking" He told his to sisters offended.
" Why would Miss Chelsea call you a stalker? " Dora asked him.
" Yes, Why?" Nora asked in agreement with the question her twin asked
" So you will believe her and not me , Your own brother!?" He asked in outrage, disappointed in them.
" Sorry brother Den" Nora apologized feeling that she has betrayed his trust, after all he was her favorite and only brother.
"Betrayer!, You are such a baby" Dora said to Nora," From what we know and have seen of Miss. Chelsea, since she started teaching in our school, is that she wouldn't just call you names if you did nothing, that's if she really did call you a Stalker" Dora stated with finality.
" Well I never" Denise said" Who trained you to be so rude to your brother and who brought you up to talk to me like that?" He asked jokily" Because I know I didn't bring you up like that DORA" he added.
" For your information, you didn't train me or bring me up, that's our parents Job, CHIBUZOR" Dora called his native Igbo name playfully and Denise burst into laughter.
" Oh, you little....." He said as he ran after Dora, who is trying flee for her Life, after calling out his native name.
" How dare you call , brother Den by his name?. I'm going to tell mum and dad" Nora warned her sister Dora.
" Go and tell, Tattle-tail " Dora told her sister as Denise cut-up with her.
" Well excuse me, since I'm not needed here, I Think I will take my live" sceneing that they where all ignoring her or have forgotten her presence and the conversation has turn into a family fun banter, " See you you tomorrow girls " She waved and walked away.
" Sorry, Miss. Okoro" The girls said together.
" That was rude, living a conversation at the middle of it" Denise murmured.
" Look at what you have done" Nora cried out.
" I thought you where on my side?" He asked Nora.
" Well not any more" Nora replied him
" I did nothing wrong, but to tell her she is not all that pretty for me to stalk her" He stated feeling justified.
" Dooface or should I say Big head" Dora said punching him playfully.
" Take back your words" Denise warns.
" Okay, sorry. You are not a Dooface or a Big head, better ?" Dora apologize.
" Better" Denise accepted.
"You don't tell a lady she is not pretty, and I should know because I'm a lady" Nora told him.
" You a lady!?, You are still a girl, my little baby sister" Denise told Nora.
" Who are you calling little, by next year I will be 18 and legal to vote" Nora told him( she can also be feisty too) . He is her favorite brother, although there was no one else competing for that position.
" Do you know I'm older than you girls, with Eight good years?" He asked them.
" Yeah, we know. You never let us forget it" Dora replied.
"I thought I was your favorite brother?" He asked her.
" That's Nora, in case you are mistaking us and FYI , you are our only brother, so deal with it. You can't get rid of us" Dora told him.
" Are all women just rude?" asked himself.
" No we are not" Dora told him.
" Let's go, he is a lost cause "Nora added.
" I'm telling mum" He said seeing as both of them have ganged up against him.
" You are such a baby" Dora taunted him.
" Mama's boy" Nora added.
" Who is a baby and a mama's boy?, for your information I'm a grown man and to remind you, I'm 8years older than you girls" Denise informed them playfully.
" And we wonder why we are the matured ones" Dora said, " Right Nora?" she asked her twin.
" Definitely Dora"Nora agreed
" Okay, I'm sorry" He said," You two should just keep quite" He ordered as they step into his car
" Let me hear one more thing from your mouths and you girls will walked back home" He threatened them.
" You wouldn't " Nora said .
" Try me" He dared them.
" You are so mean" Dora told him
" You girls were first" He stated.
" I'm telling dad" Nora warned him.
" Do that and I will tell him all the disrespectful things, you two said to me" He told her.
" You know we were joking? " Nora asked meekly( she is the twin that is easily frightened).
" Well, its your words against mine" He said" And you girls were rude to me, which was the truth" He added.
" We are sorry" They apologized .
" I didn't hear you well, what did you say?" He asked, as he enjoyed milking the apology from them.
" We are sorry" They repeated.
" So who is in charge now?" He asked
" You" They both said as they kept quite
" Better" He said, " That's what I'm talking about , respect your elder" He taunted them.
" Show off" Nora said
" That's why you Iove me" He told them and they all started laughing.
" But brother Denise, you do know you have to apologize for what you said, right?" Nora asked him.
" Yes, because if you don't, you are showing us a bad example " Dora added.
" I know and I will" He told them, as they left the school premise" and stop guilt tripping me" He added.
