LAST YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL #PROJECT NIGERIA

~29~

Maris POV

"Isn't aunty and Uncle supposed to be here by now?" Cynthia muttered

"I called them they said they were on their way," Uncle said, taking a large sip from his can of coke

Jayden stared at Elle " Maybe they need a little motivation"

Uncle turned to look at him and saw him staring at Elle, he got the motivation they needed. He picked up his phone and dialled my mother's number. She picked up at the second ring, he placed the phone on the table putting it on loudspeaker

Phone Conversation*

"What is it?" she picked up

"Aunty you guys need to come home"

"Who is "you guys", we are not coming home till they bring us our baby girl. Elle is missing, she's missing and you're telling me to come home?!! You better don't annoy me"

He sighed "where are you?"

"At the school, where else?"

"I need both of you to leave there. Probably to the place you packed your car, there's something I need to tell you both that nobody else has to know about"

"Is this one of your tricks to get us to come home? Because it's not going to work oh. I am not leaving here until I see my baby"

He sighed again "Just go to your car aunty" he's probably tired of dealing with her, I don't blame him. She's pretty stubborn.

"Okay okay. Let's go in the car. The moment you say what you have to say, I'm coming back to school. I think I might even sleep here. It looks like they wanna see craze"

"Let's see about that" Uncle smirked

I heard my Dad speak from the phone, "Why haven't we called the police ehn? It didn't even cross my mind"

"Babe if it was a normal school, police would have been here by now. You see, we didn't take our kids to a normal school abnormal ni. Just look at how everybody is, they don't even care. Acting like it's not the first time a student has gone missing."

"Erm. Oya Harry, we have reached our car. Say what you want to say because if anybody escapes from that school because of this distraction, it won't be well with you" she cursed

Uncle chuckled " you guys need to come home bec-"

She cut him off "Is this boy deaf? Abi you have something block your ear bec-"

He cut her off this time "because Elle is at home"


"Because... Ehn, what did you say? Did you hear what he said?" She asked Dad

"Get in the car, let's go home. Hurry!" Dad yells over the phone.

"Wo, if this one is actually your trick to bring us back home, you'll see when I get there" she hung up

"Now that wasn't so hard, was it?" Uncle smiled

"It wasn't. Do we talk about the plan or we wait till they come?" Amarachi asked

"We wait, they are part of the plan now."

Everybody was sitting in silence probably thinking about who we saw on the screen earlier.

"I want to ask a question oh," Cynthia eyed Jayden.
