She raps ?

" So. This sucks, are you not gonna say anything you are just going to be silent until we reach " she said breaking the silence.

We had moved some distance from the school gate and I was still clueless of how to start a conversation with her.

" What should I say ? " I said.

" Don't be boring, say something I'm all ears " she said and spread her arms.

" Uhmm, So do you like music ? "

" Dumb questions but duh! who doesn't " she said with an all knowing look.

" Whose your favorite musician ? " I asked her .

" Taylor Swift " she replied.

" What about you ? " she asked looking at me .

" oh, me. . . I don't have favorites I just listen according to my mood. . . " I said to her still thinking about who my favorite is ". . .but maybe Juice WRLD his songs always suits my mood, sometimes if not all the time. " I added after debating about it in my head .

" So your ever sad, depressed and heart broken or something " she said and somehow, somewhere she was right.

" Well, not really "

" Whatever. what's your favorite song ? " she asked me her eye brows going up.

" uhmm...all of them " I said unsure .

" come on there is one that you like most " she insisted . I thought about it for a while. I thought about a less sad and depressing so I said. " Graduation, maybe "

" Graduation ! " she repeated it.

" You know it says high school sucks " she said.

" No it doesn't say that "

" Mhmm hmm "

" Okay, maybe a little"

" Anyway how does it go ? " she asked.

" I thought you knew it " I said.

" I'm not so sure, though "she dabbed her head sideways a bit.

" Maybe remind me " she said.

" What ! You want me to sing "

" Please " she pleaded .

" No I can't "

" Please " she gave me puppy eyes. I'm sure no one could turn her down with that look. I just started singing. I'm a little too talkative and bold when answering something, moms sessions, I think. I always go a little overboard.

" As we go on we remember all the times we spent together as our lives change from whatever we will still be friends forever "

" First off, tell the girl in my math class I'm rich...." she started rapping. I stopped to listen to her rap . " and you broke, bitch, I had the last laugh and to the dumb nigga in my science, lab how did it feel when we fought and you caught a jab, man fuck prom... " by now my jaw had dropped . Noticing me looking at her weirdly she stopped.

" You just rapped " I said shocked .

" Yeah, pretty much " she said confidently.

" where did you learn that ? "

" Well growing up with boys, they like hip-hop "

" And you don't "

" I didn't, but learned anyway "

" That'. . . s that's really cool "

" Aww, thanks chilly " she smiled and touched my arm. An electric current passed through me.

" This is my house " she said pointing a half flat.

" What ! , no " I said unbelievably.

" I also leave around here " I said to her realising my house was just three houses away from hers .

" Really where exactly. " she asked

" Just there " I pointed to my house .

" Ofcourse I must have seen you around here, that's why you looked so familiar " I said finally piecing together the last piece of her so farmiliar face.

" Yeah, yeah must be it " she said and suddenly looked disappointed.

" Is there. . . "

" Listen, I will see you later. Okay " she said and head to her house.

Weird .

I went home and found mom sleeping on the couch . I tip toed past her I didn't want to wake her up . I changed from my uniforms then prepared something for Mom. I prepared her favorite dish or maybe the only dish I knew how to cook toasted egg . she once told me it's her favorite dish but it's not. I found out it's apparently fried fish in smashed groundnuts and boiled rice I woke her up after putting it on the table.

" When did you come back ? " in a sleepy voice she asked me.

" Some time back " I said to her .

" Mom come right this way " I pointed to the direction of the dining room mimicking waiters from those fancy restaurants.

" Troy. . . When did you do all this ? " she looked at me surprised and happy.

" Just enjoy" I said with a smile .

She sat and we ate while talking about different things. . . well not different things mostly my life at school. I told her school was great and that I had friends I told her about Jerome not Jenny I wasn't even sure whether Jenny was my friend or not. She was so happy to hear about me having friends and asked me whether I could meet him. I said no, ofcourse. She also asked me whether the side effects where back I lied. I said they weren't back. She reminded me to take the pills about five times.

She was genuinely happy with my progress so far.
