Grace: How about school, any news or something I should know of?

Anita: No mother, there's nothing you should know

Grace- You always told me all everything that happened back then, what happened to us

Anita - (Looks at her disgustedly and laughs ) I stopped telling you anything, when I discovered you always have a high blood pressure whenever I told you something

Grace-( Shocked) Are you still seeing him ( seats)

Anita- The last time I checked you said I should not bring him up again, and i haven't! you never said I should not see him

Grace- ( Angry) What is wrong with you, i try so much to talk to you and tell you what to do as a mother, where have I gone wrong, his not a good boy, his family background is not good
