Alexandra is currently in the sitting room chatting on f*******:, when her mum Mrs. Wachukwu walks in.
"Chioma it's so early in the morning and you are busy with your phone, that was why you failed jamb last year. You also want to fail again this year right?"
Chioma is Alexandra's native name and her mum is the one who referred to her by that name.
"Mum, I didn't fail, at least I passed JAMB cut off point, I scored 196," Alexandra replies while she drops her phone on the couch.
"You passed JAMB cut off point," Mrs. Wachukwu asks with mockery evident in her voice while she joins Alexandra on the couch.
"Mum, that's one thing with you, always comparing me to others." Alexandra frowns.
"Comparing you to others?" Mrs. Wachukwu asks with a serious look
"But I haven't started yet, Why shouldn't I? You are always chatting on f*******: when you have exams soon. If you fail again/" Mrs. Wachukwu frowns.
"Mum!" Alexandra calls out looking grim.
"Thank God you aren't the only child, if you like to spend another year at home, that's your problem. I'm just so happy that your elder brother is coming home in a few days," Mrs. Wachukwu says with a geniue smile.
"Mum, thought he was going for NYSC Program," Alexandra asks with a straight face.
"Your dad will influence that, he will serve here in River's Stat,e" Mrs. Wachukwu smiles.
"Oh," Alexandra says. With the look on her face it was obvious she wasn't happy. "Mum I will put Uniport as my first choice not Unilag"Alexandra complains.
"Even if you did that the last time, you wouldn't have gotten admission with just 196," Mrs. Wachukwu complains with a slight frown.
"Mum! You and I know dad could have influenced it, not that you both aren't capable or don't have the resources, but once it comes to me, you and dad becomes less concerned but if it's Raphael "The golden son" you both will go out of the way." Alexandra complains with anger evident on her face.
"Hey, will you shut up? Your brother is so brilliant, what about your cousin Karis who is your age mate and is in the University?" Mrs. Wachukwu asks irritating her daughter.
"Mum!"
"Your brother is so intelligent, he got admission when he was sixteen years old and here you are almost eighteen and still trying your luck," Mrs. Wachukwu fires with a mock smile. Alexandra notices immediately.
"Mum, you are mocking me," Alexandra who notices her mums smile says.
"I'm not mocking you, I want you to try harder, read your books also. You know that your father won't bribe your way in. Read your books dear, that phone of yours is distracting, stop and face your studies. Be like your elder brother." Mrs. Wachukwu says obviously provoking Alexandra.
"Mum!" Alexandra attempts to say something but gets stopped by her mums signal.
"Just take a good look at your elder brother, for instance, he is already done with higher institution and has a degree in Law, I and your dad wants the best for the both of you," Mrs. Wachukwu says now taking a good look at her daughter who she could tell was so angry, cause he facial expression sold out everything. The look on Alexandra's face showed that she was tired of been compared to her elder brother.
"One more thing, your dad and I want you to study in Unilag." Mrs. Wachukwu says with a smile.
"But mum, it's my choice to make, "Alexandra complains.
"Okay, I will give you some cash, just go and shop some new stuffs for yourself," Mrs. Wachukwu who knew the way to bribe Alexandra says with a mischievous smile. She takes a good look at her daughter who was rapidly turning into a woman.
" You are trying to bribe me, thank you," Alexandra says still frowning.
"Chioma," Mrs. Wachukwu calls out.
"Mum!" Alexandra frowns.
Alexandra who is the only daughter of The Wachukwu family was giving every material thing she wanted. She was sent to a boarding school at the age of ten, then she was in jss1. That was because her parents were always busy with business trips. Mr. Wachukwu her dad is a wealthy businessman same applicable to her mum Mrs. Wachukwu. They were always traveling from one country to another for work-related issues.
Raphael her elder brother was also a hostelite but they never went to the same school, she hardly saw him, the first and last time they saw was 3 years ago, then she was fifteen. She was told he was staying with one of her aunts while she was growing, she only met him on different occasions and they never really spoke to each other. As a child she never stresses the matter about him staying away from them not until of recent when her mum finally told her the truth about him. Ever since she found out the truth the hatred and jealousy increased cause of the way her parents sang his praises.
"Now he is coming home after a long time to finally snatch whatever I have left away from me" She thinks.
"After sharing my parents I still have to share this house with him."She mutters.
"Did you say anything?"Mrs Wachukwu asks.
"No mum."
