It is another bright and sunny day in the Oghenetega's. Heavin's mum planned to take the girls out for shopping since school is resuming the following week. She went to her daughter's room to inform her.
"Princess"
"Mum, you know courtesy demand that you knock the door if u want to come in,"
"Gosh, Heavin you are not serious. As long as you remain Oghenetega Omotekoro Heavin, you will always remain my one and only baby daughter" Mrs Oghenetega said amidst laughter
"So you better remove the aspect of me knocking your door,"
"Smiles. Have heard you Mum. So to what do I owe this visit?"
"Common Omotekoro, have you forgotten I need to do shopping with you girls today?"
"Oh mum, I have forgotten. And am planning girls out with my friends today. Ameera and Gini are coming"
"Oh, we can go for our shopping this morning, then you can have your girls out in the afternoon,"
"That is a nice idea mum.I will tell Gini and Mimi to let's meet in the afternoon,"
"Yeah baby. Tell Valerie to be ready, because we are going together. I will go freshen up."
"Okay mum."
Mrs Oghenetega left her daughter's room for her room while Heavin went to Valerie's room to inform her about the outing. She knocked at the door while she await for response
"Come in" Valerie said
"Hey cuz, mum said I should inform you about the shopping since school is resuming next week,"
"Oh okay babe. I will go freshen up now,"
"Okay sis. Lest I forget, I have girls out with my friends later today and I will love you to join us. That will also give you the opportunity to meet my friends before school resumes because they also attend Glitz Queen College"
"Wow, that is nice. Am in... I love those kind of outing. Any location yet?"
"Not really, my friends are to pick the location"
"Okay babe, lets go freshen up before aunt complains that we are late,"
"Okat cuz, see yah later."
Immediately Heavin left her room, Valerie went to the bathroom to take a cold shower. She finished her bath minutes later and came out of the bathroom. She picked a red midi jumpsuit and matched it with silver Louis Vuilton sandal. She applied a minimal makeup and compliment her look by applying a gloss on her lips.
She sprayed herself her perfume and style her hair into two ponytails. She left her room having satisfied with her look and went to Heavin's room. She got to Heavin's room and met her still ransacking her closet for what to wear.
"OMG, cuz you are looking take away,"
"Thanks babe, can I get to help you,"
"Yeah, I will really appreciate that."
After series of testing out various clothes, they settled for a jean trouser and pink crop top. She matched it with a pair of white sneakers. She sat down on the chair while Val styled her hair and did little make over on her face.
"Wow, Valerie, you are a life saver,"
"You can say that again babe,"
"Thank you so much,"
"Ain't need all that babe, what are sisters for. Lets hurry and meet aunt downstairs,"
"Okay cuz."
They went downstairs and together with Mrs Oghenetega, they all enter the car while she drove them to Shoprite.

"Gini"
"Ginika"
Mrs Azikiwe shouted as she called out her daughter.
"Yes mum, am coming ma,"
Ginika rushed out of her bedroom to go meet her mum in the living room. Ginika is just one of those ladies blessed with ebony beauty. She is not too slim and neither fat, she is in between and she also had that model body shape. Daughter of the famous politician in Nigeria, Senator Azikiwe. Her mother, Mrs Azikiwe has the largest boutique in the whole of Warri.
"What were you doing since," Her mum countered immediately she came to the living room
"I was preparing for the girls out I have with Tee and Mimi,"
"Oh okay baby. When are you going?"
"Very soon mum. Mimi will come over here so that we can go together,"
"Okay love, let me leave you to continue your preparation. But before that, can you help me to get my bag inside the room,"
"Alright mum"
------------------------_-----------------------_---------
They arrived home not quite long having been exhausted from the shopping. The girls picked so many things ranging from stationaries to provisions to toiletries with other accessories like clothes, shoes and bags.
"Val, do you think we can still go out or I should inform my friends that we will have our girls out in my room,"
"If they will agree, because right now am so tired that I can't go out,"
"Same here also,"
Just then Omonigho entered the kitchen and interrupted them.
"See my cousin sister, na only you I see like this (You are the only one I acknowledged)"
"Omonigho, you have started again. Leave the poor girl alone, she doesn't even understand what you said,"
"Mouth piece, leave Valerie to answer me if she understand or not. Valerie but you understand what I said earlier?" He asked facing Valerie
"Ivan, am not getting you either,"
"You see, I talk am (I told you). Come and be going sef (go away)"
Valerie was just laughing at the siblings banter but she was interrupted when Heavin dragged her from the kitchen to go freshen up.
Few Hours Later
A car stopped outside the Oghenega's mansion and both Ginika and Ameera alighted from the car.
"I will call you to pick us when we are done"
"Okay" And the driver drove off
The girls entered the mansion and rang the door bell. Omonigho opened the door for them and his eyes caught Ameera.
Ameera Hussein who preferred being called Mimi is from the northern part of Nigeria, Kastina state to be precise. But her parents stays in Abuja, she goes there when school is on holiday but stays with her aunt here in Warri. Ameera is endowed with so much beauty, light in complexion with a moderate body shape.
Though Ameera has been Omonigho's crush ever since she came to Glitz Queens College, he dares not date her since he has a girlfriend already.
"Ahem...." Gini clears her throat since Omonigbho will not leave the way for them
"Oh, am sorry girls, do come in,"
There was an awkward silence after that until Mimi break the silence when they spot their friend's mother
"Mum, good afternoon,"
"Ameera, Ginika, good afternoon, how are you all doing,"
"Very well ma. Trust you are also doing good,"
"Yes dear. Mimi, how are your parents and how was your trip from Abj?"
"Fine ma and my parents are doing great, they sent their greetings,"
"Okay baby. Your friend is in her room, go meet her upstairs,"
"Okay ma, see you later." Ginika said while both of them left the living room
"I wonder why Tee canceled our girls out," Gini said
"That girl can be unbelievable sometimes," Mimi chipped in as they opened the door to Heavin's room.
They met her on a phone call and jumped on her bed dragging her hair, she had to end the call when the pain becomes unbearable.
"You know you both are not normal"
"See pot calling the kettle black, like you are also normal yourself. Why did you cancel our girls out?" Gini the outspoken one of the three of them said
"We went for shopping with mum and I got so tired. Speaking of WE, I need to go get my cousin. Please don't ransack my closet,"
"Come and be going. And for that we will ransack your closet," Mimi said amidst laughter while Omotekoro left the room
"Mimi, did you see how Omonigho looked at you the other time?"
"I saw it but it's nothing right. He is free to crush on a beautiful girl when he sees one,"
"Yeah, but this is not an ordinary crush, I guess he has feelings for you,"
"Ginika, you will not kill someone. Feelings you say. See I don't want his girlfriend's problem," She said with that her tiny voice which made her Hausa accent clearly audibly
"The softhearted girl. I still wonder what he sees in that snub he calls a girlfriend,"
"That is his problem."
Immediately she said that, Heavin entered with Valerie amd both girls wowed at the amazing beauty before them. And Ginika being Ginika decides to speak first
"Wow, Tee you never told me you had an angel for a cousin?"
"Gini, stop joor. Valerie meet my friends Ginika Azikiwe also love to be called Gini and Ameera Hussein also called Mimi,"
"Nice meeting you both,"
"And let me take the honour to introduce my beautiful Chicago cousin, Valerie Omarmerhi Howards. And she will be joining us at Glitz Queens College, so you all should get ready,"
Everyone in the room was laughing by the time she is done introducing.
"Wahala for who no get Chicago cousin o," Gini said mimicking the Chicago cousin part
"Double wahala(problem)like this," Heavin countered
And that was how the girls took turns to talk about themselves. They gisted and played several games. They all had fun.
