phase one completed
1038 Words
Monica spent the whole night talking about her Mr love, she even made a list; what a waste of time
"so do you remember phase one" she asked me
"gosh, I'm so tired, please let me get some sleep even if it is just one minute " I protest
"I'll allow you to sleep even if it a whole year if you tell me what I said phase one is"
" just say it" she continued
"phase one exchange names with the cute guy " I recited
"that's very good of you, now I can be sure that even if I forget, I have you" she said while I was already fast asleep
***
"wake up jas, do I have to wake you everyday" Monica yelled
"God it's Sunday, there's no class on Sunday, please go away" I whined
"yes, but we had an agreement"
I jumped off bed "what an agreement? about what"
"yesterday, you promised to help me complete phase one" she reminded
"in exchange for what?" I asked still yet to remember
"for nothing, I woke you up, asked you, and you said sure whatever, in exchange for what I asked but you said just let me sleep" she reminded again
"that isn't an agreement it's clear fraud, I always say sure whatever to anything when I'm tired, you know that, plus I was asleep and I wanted you to leave me alone"
"whine all you want, it's been sealed so you must help me or else" she threatened and continued "get dressed and come down, I made breakfast"
she made breakfast or death wish "I'm coming just go" I groaned
****
it took me exactly forty minutes to get dressed
"you are such a slow poke" Monica said facing down, as soon as she looked up at me she yelled like a mad dog being chased "where the hell do you think you're going dressed like that? a night club?
"what! is there anything wrong with my dressing?" all I did was to put on a crazy jean with a jean jacket, plus I did a slight makeover and she's complaining"
no, no, you can't wear this I prepared a dress for you" she said stretching out the dress
"you want me to wear this...(what is wrong with it"she asked)... looking like your maid, ain't going to happen baby girl, this is so not my style, so get that thing off my face... infact I changed my mind " I said going back upstairs
"you know mom's not here" she sounded like she was going to raise a threat
"so?" I replied less caring
"don't test my patient jas, come down here, take this script and go through it " and she dropped the threat
it's been a while since I heard her sounding like that, it's like a trauma in my head,
she handed me a printed spiral binded script and continued "read your lines,and stick to script, any questions? " she asked
yes, just one, when did you do all these?
"well I guess no question, let's rehearse" she ignored
I asked, ..I went through it and couldn't hold my laughter
"why. are. you. laughing" she broke the words
"is just.... nothing, absolutely nothing... I continued...wait why do I have to be the weird one? plus no one calls you Maddy, and why script can't we just go say hi and...
" shut up, and stick to the script" she interrupted banging the table loudly
"rude, I'm the one helping you here and you are to mind your manners, why do I even give a f**k, by tomorrow you'll act like you don't f*****g know me, I'm sure you'll not even introduce me as your sister"
"and why would I do that?" she replied without hesitation
"go to hell Nica" I threw the script and stood up angrily
"fine I'll go alone, who need you anyway, you suck at everything don't you know?"
I giggled and replied "I suck right? then leave, I want to see how far your relationship with this guy can go, will you even make it to friendship?"
"only losers make friends with guys" she replied
"ok, I wish you luck with phase one, make sure to come back with this expression " I chuckled leaving the room

Monica's p.o.v
"ding dong" sounded the door bell
in no time the door opened and dark, slim, tall girl appeared
"hi, I'm Monica, from the neighborhood, I live nextdoor" I introduced
"and?" she urge me to speak like she was in a rush
"and I baked this cake to welcome you to the neighborhood,you know... neighbor " I said already feeling awkward
"come in, I'm Veronica and that is my brother; Xavier" she introduced
(Xavier so that's his name) hi, Xavier, I think we've met before?
"really? I don't remember" he said
"we've not actually talked to each other, you may not see me but I have... we go to the same school...in that same department" I tried to remind
" come to think of it, I think I have seen you before" he said trying to remember
"I'm the girl that prof. sent out of class because....
"oh! the girl that answered with her eyes, now I remember"
that was a weird way to get him to remember, but it seems like the only way
"well, come to think of it I'm actually smart, I only did that 'cos the class was a little boring so I spiced it up" I lied
"ahh! I get" he said trying to relate
"by the way I'm Monica"
"okay, guess you already know my name so I'll skip the introduction part,ale your self home, (facing his sister)
I'm going out for a minute, call me when something good happens
"I gotcha " verony replied
" and it was nice meeting you, Monica.." he said and left
the way he said it gave me butterflies, phase one completed" I rejoice within me
"Veronica, is there anything I can help you with?" I asked using the opportunity to wait till he comes back
"oh you want to help, that so sweet of you, come this way...
look who is winning,in your face Jasmine...
