THIS SCENE UNFOLDS IN THE MORNING AT A PROVISION SHOP
Mimie And Jane Went To A Provision Shop Around Their Area To Get Stuff For Breakfast and at the same time, Jason was at the same shop to purchase some stuff.
JASON
Hello ladies good morning.
MIMIE
You again? (She asked as she rolls her eyes at him)
JANE
Good morning..?
JASON
Jason...the name is Jason.
JANE
I'm Jane and this is my friend Mimie.
JASON
Nice meeting you Jane, Mimie.
JANE
Nice meeting you too.
MIMIE
Jane when you are done purchasing the stuff, meet me at home.
JANE
You are being rude Mimie.
MIMIE
How am I being rude? It is by force to talk or exchange pleasantries with someone I do not know?
JANE
Come on he is just being nice.
MIMIE
God knows i didn't ask him to be nice. See Jane you can entertain him for all I care but please do not force me to do same okay....thank you and see you at home. (EXIT Mimie)
JANE
Um....Jason I'm so sorry for my friends rude behaviour. she is actually not that kind of a person just that lately she is going through some difficult moments.
JASON
It's fine Jane I understand. Do not worry, I won't take it to heart.
JANE
Then that will be wonderful thank you.
JASON
You are welcome. Are you done with your purchase?
JANE
Yes. Why?
JASON
let me see you off
JANE
Oh that's so nice of you.
JASON
So do you guys live around here?
JANE
Yes we live in this neighbourhood
JASON
Then how come I'm just seeing you for the first time? As for Mimie, this is the second time but not in my wildest dream did I ever think she lives here.
JANE
(chuckles) That's probably because our jobs are the type that we have to leave early and return late and another thing is because we do not really hang out in the neighbourhood or hangout in general that much.
JASON
You girls live just the two of you?
JANE
No we are three. You got me, Mimie and Sharon.
JASON
Wao
JANE
Okay...Here we are. This is where we live.
JASON
You know..... I always pass by this area but I had no idea the occupants of this house are such pretty ladies (The statement got them laughing )
JANE
You are a sweet talker and quite a charmer too. Thanks for the company Jason.
JASON
No worries. Um....I will get going see you around Jane.
JANE
See you around Jason.
THIS SCENE UNFOLDS AT THE GIRL'S HOUSE.
JANE GETS INTO THE HOUSE WHERE MIMIE IS PLAYING A GAME ON HER
PHONE
JANE
Mimie what was the meaning of what you just did few minutes ago.
MIMIE
Please Jane I'm busy here we will talk
later(Jane Walk towards her and snatches her Phone).
What's that for? Jane come on ( she
yelled)
JANE
Now I got your attention. Why were you rude to Jason?
MIMIE
Jane what's all this? Can't I behave or act the way I want without you reprimanding me?
JANE
Your attitude at times sucks a lot do you know that?
SHARON
Finally someone who is not me noticed
it too
Sharon who just walked in worded which got her a glare from Mimie
JANE
Sharon stay out of this.( She made the mouth zipping sign) mean while, can you please make us breakfast while I talk some sense into this girl?
SHARON
Sure, Why not.
JANE
Thanks. Now back to you young lady. What happened to that bubbly Mimie I use to know? What happened to that Mimie who loved unconditionally, that Mimie who no matter the provocation, she will still keep calm? What
happened to that Mimie who was respectful and loved by many what?
MIMIE
Wao did such a navie and stupid girl exist? (Sarcasm )
JANE
Do not play sarcasm with me Mimie. Listen friend, let the past go I'm begging you. Do not let the pass ruin your future and the way you use to see people Mimie
MIMIE
I moved on didn't I? Of course I did but what did I get in return huh? Nothing Jane nothing. You all said I should give Carl a chance which l listened and did but the he goat can't keep that thing inbetween his legs. He has been jumping from one skirt to another (Chuckles) He thinks I'm oblivious to his promiscuity but I'm just giving him a long rope to pull.
JANE
Wait.....You mean Carl has been cheating on you?
MIMIE
Yeah you heard it right so I will appreciate it if you stop telling me what's good and what's not good cuz I'm sick and tired of it already excuse me.
( EXIT Mimie )
SHARON
What happened Jane?
JANE
Mimie is still holding on to the past. That's the shortest way to put it.
SHARON
Whatever breakfasts is ready. Come join me and ask your friend to join too.
JANE
Why don't you go ask her, is she not also your Friend ?
SHARON
Jane you know well say me and Mimie no di vibe fine so please you should do it
After A Few Minutes, Jane Came back
What happened...Where is she?
JANE
She said she will pass so it's just the two of us
SHARON
(she rolls her eyes) Whatever let's dig in.
THIS SCENE UNFOLDS AT CARL'S LIVING ROOM WITH ANGRY VOICES
CARL
What is wrong with you? And oh please do not act all innocent cuz I know what you have been doing behind my back. So do not come here playing the good and loyal girlfriend Bullshit.
MIMIE
Wao that's rich coming from you....like super duper rich. Wait.... I wanna understand something here Carl, after continously cheating on me, you stand before me trying to turn tables that do not even exist on me? Like I mean who does that? How shameless can you get huh?
CARL
You will not talk to me like that Mimie
MIMIE
Like I care Carl. You know what, I'm so done with this. I'm tired of this hell hole you call a relationship
CARL
Oh thank God cuz I'm so fade up putting up with you messy ass
MIMIE
That's great cuz that makes us two
CARL
Of course it will be great considering your line of work
MIMIE
Abeg your pardon
CARL
Oh now you are begging to be pardoned. (He laughs) So you think I do not know that you are a hooker? come on you are just a b***h who hooks up with old men for money
That statement got him a slap from Mimie who was at the brim of breaking down
MIMIE
How dare you Carl, how dare you? Say what ever you want but do not ever i mean ever tag me as a slut,hooker or what ever you call do not cuz you got no clue of what I do since you never had the decency of asking
CARL
( chuckles) Yeah of course I do not because if I did I won't have even touched you in the first cuz right now you digust me but then again your friends do know you that's if you get the memo.
She couldn't stand it anymore so she hurriedly left and headed home

SHARON
Why are you yelling like a mad puppy?
MIMIE
What did you tell Carl about me Sharon
SHARO

MIMIE
Why did you tell all those lies about me Sharon? Why do you hate me so much like what have I really done to you?
SHARON
Look here Mimie I do not know what you are talking about
MIMIE
Don't play dumb with me because we both know you never really liked me and you have always been envious of me trying to compete with me at every little thing.
SHARON
Okay you want the truth? Yes I am envious of you but I have never stabbed you or did what you are accusing me of
MIMIE
Wao....You still won't admit the fact huh?
SHARON
If you were dumped by Carl then please do not take it out on me because I have no clue of what you are accusing me of please.
MIMIE
Fine. I guess this is how you want it huh? Jane bear me witness cuz she started it and I shall end it. Game on dorling. Mimie stormed out while Jane who has just been observing walks towards Sharon and gave her "the look".
