Empire High School - Season 1 - Episode 38

Jeffrey’s POV
“Can I sit here with you?” Deji asked if he
could sit in the front seat with me.
“No.. Just stay with your sister”
“Ok.. Ay” he said in a low tone
My initial plan was to feign sickness so she
could allow me stay at home.

Should I say am lucky? Maybe.. But I didn’t
plan to be a babysitter today. I’d planned
to walk around the estate to see if I would
be lucky enough to find Kate’s house. Now
I can’t execute my plans because I have to
take care of my cousins and help my aunt
to buy the items she needs.

“Abeg.. Oga Jeff shey you go reach that
place wey madam dey always go every
Sunday?” Dauda the gateman asked
I thought of what he was trying to say.
“He’s talking about the mall” Deji said
“Okay..”

Dauda shook hands with Deji.
“Yes.. You be good child” he said
“Do you need anything?” I asked
Dauda showed off his brown teeth.
“Deji.. Wetin be that thing again?” Dauda
asked

“He wants you to buy him popcorn” Deji
said again
“Oh you want me to buy popcorn?”
“Yes oga” Dauda searched his pocket and
brought out a rough #500 note.

“Abeg help me buy the thing.. I wan give
Ngozi because I don promise her say I go
buy it for her” he explained
“Okay.. But don’t worry about the money.
I’ll get it for you”
“Koi! Oga! Thank you”
“You’re welcome”

Dauda rushed to open the gate
“Bye bye o” he waved at us as I drove out
of the compound.

“He likes Ngozi and mom’s suspecting
something is going on between them” Deji
said
What?! Dauda and Ngozi having an affair?!
It wasn’t a thing to discuss with my 11
years old cousin so he didn’t bother to ask
him more details.

“Uncle Jeffrey can i play game on your
phone?.. Like Subway Surf”
Semi asked
And I gave it to her.

“Thank You”
“Deji, perhaps have you heard of a girl
named Kate living in this Estate?” I asked
him as I was checking out houses.

“Kate? I only know of one Kate” he said
“Who is she?”
“My classmate” he replied
I rolled my eyes

“The one am talking about is my classmate
and I’ve seen her coming into this estate”
“I don’t know her”

I focused on the road ahead. After a minute
drive, My eyes caught a fair skinned figure
coming out of an enormous brown gate.

There was no way I could be hallucinating!
Kate was there! She started walking away,
I knew she was heading to the estate gate
to take a cab.

I should give her a ride!

And without thinking I pressed the car
horn to gain her attention. She stopped to
see who was in the car. I packed the car.
“I’ll be right back Deji”
I got out of the car.

Kate was beautiful. She was dressed in
fitted black jeans which showed off her
curves. She matched it with a yellow off
shouldered top which revealed her bright
skin on a pair of white sneakers. Her hair
was pulled up in a simple bun. She didn’t
wear any make up but she was Gorgeous!

I could see the surprise look on her face
when I came out of the car.
