Emmauellas POV

"Woohooo family outing people !!!!"

I yelled loud enough for all our neighbors to hear. Sure enough, one of our neighbors who was still awake, yelled back.

"Its 5 am!!, go back to bed"

I yelled back in response, waking some members of the house, in the process

"I know! Good morning to you too!! "

I was super excited we were to go for a family weekend, where it just gonna be us against the world! I squealed excitedly again as I got outta bed to go and greet my parents, I opened the door of my room to take an action, but was stopped shot at the sight of my two elder sisters with terrible messy hair, and anger blazing from their eyes. Nervously chuckling, I greeted,

"Morning sisters, I'm sorry, did I wake you up? "

"You don't know, I was having the sweetest dream ever, where I was being transferred from this dump of a school, National Nigerian University, to a more appropriate acting school!!!! "

Zoey yelled at me. Its always been her life long dream to be an actress, but the opportunity never came for her to shoot her shot. Even when it did come, she was either not available or some what busy herself, so much so, she wouldn't know when the opportunity literally passed her by.

"Sorry Zoey, I had no idea. But look on the bright side, you might find an actor stung by your beauty, that he'd request your presence on his set"

"Oh pls, what are the odds of that's happening"

"Umm, you guys, I'm just as angry as Zoey is here but no, my rudely interrupted dream by my younger sis doesn't matter to her. "

"Oh am sorry Addie I didn't mean to, I... I thought you guys were awake already"

I apologized, as went to greet our parents. They let us in, as we got there, I was scolded for the stunt I pulled earlier. We had a quick family meeting before we decided to have akara and pap for breakfast. My mom and Zoey went to prepare the meal, while Addie helped me with the Saturday routine by the time breakfast was ready, everyone went to freshen up before we all came back done to have breakfast .

THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW

It was fifteen minutes past ten and we were at the dinning table having breakfast as a family, just the way I like it. I really love my family, but they could be over bearing some times, nosing around in my business, especially my mom, like it was a hobby or something. Desperate to change the subject from how terrible my Yoruba was, I asked in English

"So dad, where are we going to celebrate Emmanuella's win "

"Se o ma pe e to a beere ibeere yen ni yoruba"
Translation :Would it kill you to ask that question in Yoruba, my mother asked,
