he following day being Friday a day to Francis' supposed birthday party during lunch Rachel asked

      "Beauty queen?" Rachel called teasing me

     "Rachel please stop" I said feigning anger

     "Did Francis invite you to his birthday party tomorrow?" Rachel asked

      "Yes he did why?" I answered

     "I was thinking we get ready at your house then head together to his house for the party"

     "When you say we you mean?" I asked

    "Me and you of course" Rachel said

    "Come on what about me?" Gideon asked pouting

     "You are know a girl and neither is it your birthday" I said smiling

     "But its my birthday do can I come" Francis asked with a straight face teasing me

      " no it's your birthday that the more reason you are not allowed to come" Rachel said while  i rolled her eyes at him

     "Okay fine, since the ladies are having a dress party, Gideon you come to my house and we will dress up together" Francis said talking to Gideon but looking at me

     "Sure, it will be so much fun, oh I can't wait" Gideon squealed excitedly while we all had a good laugh on him

      "Hey, Francis is Jonas Jessy still coming?" Rachel asked

      "Yes and she said I get to choose my birthday present" Francis said looking at Mae

     "No she did not" I  whispered

    "What will you choose?" Gideon asked

     "To get a kiss from her" Francis said not shifting his gaze from me

    "Ewww" I  sighed disgusted while Gideon and Rachel turned to face her

    "Erm... I mean you can't kiss me and still go ahead to kiss a celebrity and am sure she won't kiss you" I said 

      "That's true man no girl will like that" Gideon said and  I grinned at Francis while he shook his head smiling at me

         When I got home after school, I met mum in the sitting room breastfeeding my baby brother Alex

         "Look at my baby so exhausted, what happened in school today?" Mum asked while I I stole Alex from her

     "Hey I wasn't done feeding him" mum shouts at me

       "Relax mum, he can continue later, but for now big sis is back" I said while mum shook her head while fixing her dress

      "You look stressed, what happened today?" She asked

     "You know how i told you that, Olivia Melvin's brother Francis melvin invited me to his birthday party tomorrow?" I asked getting sited

      "As Jonas Jessy?Yeah"

     "Do today one of my friends Rachel invited me on his behalf, as mae and she suggested we get ready together that too here and head to the party together" I explained 

     "Yes? Thats no big problem" mum said confusing me

     "You think? Its not like i can divide my self into two, or can i?" I asked thinking of every possible way to divide myself into two

     "No you can't, what i mean is that just call Rachel and tell her you cant make it, give her some reasons that will not be considered as a lie" 

     "But i dont have any reasons and i dont want to tell her..."

     "You dont have to tell her, just tell her that I and your dad travrled to your grandparents place to be back on sunday to take care of your siblings" Mum said getting me thinking again

     "But thats a lie" 

     "No its not, we are going to my parents place  tomorrow with Alex so i need you to take care of them"mum said confusing me

       "But mum i have a party to attend" i complained, its not as if i have been taking care of them when shes not around.

      "Jess you are 16 parties are not for you, infact you are way too young for parties" mum said with a straight face 

      "But i have been attending parties since i became Jonas Jessy that too when i was 14, besides Elna and Nathan can go with you "

      "I was only joking around with you, just go call Rachel and tell her you can't make it to the party" Mum said collecting Alex from me
