I call the shots
Chapter 4
“Hey hey Chanty, where are you running off to?”😕😕
Her brother asked.
He was confused. He was
just coming home to surprise her and here she is running off like the house was
on fire.
On seeing him, she
hugged him and cried out loud.
“Junior, I’m sick of this house. I want to leave. Mum hates me”.
😭😭😭😭
“Oh Chanty, don’t say that. You know what? Dry your tears and
let’s take a walk”.
“Nooo, I want a ride in your new car”. She said wiping off
her tears and smiling😆😆.
Junior was surprised at
her sudden change of mood.
“If you were not my sister, I would have assumed that you
were bipolar or something. How can you just change your mood within few
seconds?”
😕
“Is that a no or a yes?” she said giving him
the smile that he couldn’t resist.
“You realise that you’re grown and that
smile isn’t cute as it used to be”.
“Arghhhh Junior, just say a yes or a no”😒😒.
“Hmmph, get in”.
"Yessss!!!"
She quickly ran to his
white convertible and jumped in. Junior got in and sat there staring at her.
“Are you sure you’re fine?” he asked concerned.
“Just shut up and drive”🙂🙂,
she said giggling.
He sparked the car and
drove off. The ride was as silent as the grave yard till they actually got to
the grave yard itself.
“Why are we here?” Chantelle asked angrily😡😡.
“To pay a visit to our baby sister”.
“Why? To remind me that I’m the reason why she’s dead?!!”
😡😡
“No Chanty. You’re not the reason”☹.
“Mum, thinks I am”, she said tearing up.
😭😭
“Junior did you bring me here to see me cry? I want to
leave, now!”
😡😡😐😐😭😭
“Chantelle!! Ever since Mildred died, you’ve never
visited her grave😐😐😕”.
“Cos, I don’t want to!! She’s the reason why mum hates me. Coming to her
grave we’ll just remind me of everything that happened”.
“It’s not your fault that she got pregnant?”
“It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have taken her to
that party. If I had just said no to her, she wouldn’t have gotten
pregnant or taken her own life”.
😭😭😭😭😭
“Chanty, it’s not your fault. You have to accept that and move on”.
😕
“But mum is going to hate me forever”.
“In my opinion, she’s at fault, she can’t blame herself, so
she’s putting it on you”.
“Hmm”.
😭😕
Chantelle was silent
for a while, and then she walked to her sister’s grave and cried on
it, telling her how sorry she was. She stayed there for a while and then she
left with Junior.

Exams were around the
corner, so everyone in school had their heads buried in their books especially
Chantelle. She wanted to be a medical
doctor, so she had to ace all her papers.
She was in the library
studying when she got a call from Reece.
She hanged up and
texted him: _Reece, I’m studying and I will talk to you later._
After a while, she
received a text from him.
_Babe, I’m just
checking up on you and I’ve missed you. Want to hang out after school?😌_
_Uhmm, I don’t think so. I
have an upcoming exam☹☹._
_Wow, you’re lying to
me, you just want to hang out with that boy I saw you with the other time😕_
_No, no, not that. And
I thought you said you were cool with me hanging out with other guys_
Chantelle kept looking
on her phone for a reply, but he didn’t reply. After 20 minutes she texted him.
_Can you come over at
night?🙃_
She bit her finger
waiting anxiously for a reply.
_Yeah, Hope your
parents won’t create a fiasco, I can’t deal with those
rich people’s drama_
_Lmao, they won’t be around.
They’re going to church_
_Okay, I’ll see you at
night. Love yah😘_
_Alright. Love you too😘_
She smiled and
continued to study.
▪***********▪
Reece and Chantelle
were watching a movie in her room and arguing about it.
“He’s gay” Reece said.
“He’s not. He’s just being romantic”.
“Oh c’mon that shit is gay”.
“Reece, stop being a hater, he’s too cute to be gay
and…”
She was interrupted by
her the ringtone of her phone.
“Junior, what’s up?”
************
“Church? No, go alone, I’m studying”.
************
“No no, I really have to study, next time okay”.
**********
She hanged up.
“Now, where were we?” she asked Reece
smiling.
“I’m sick of this movie, and you know what I want right now?”🙃🙃
“What”? she said giggling.
“You😌”, he said lifting her up.
They were getting down
with it, when her room door, just flung open.
“Chanty, I need a……….what the…….?” Junior said
glaring at them.
😳😳😳😒😒
