She went over to wale where he sat and saw that he had been given spring roll, chip, and a small can of fruit juice. “Again, thanks for coming,” she told him, smiling. “And thanks for inviting me,” He responded with a grin. Taking a spring roll from the paper plate in his hand, he took a bite. As he eat and talked with her, his eye took in her dressing. The round neck pullover gowm she wore was yellow while teal was the color of her earrings and necklace. He liked the combination.

“How are you going? Do you have a car?” He took the can of juice and opened it. She laughed. “A car? I don’t work in bank, you know. I’m only a teacher,” he drank the juice and said,” “some teachers have cats.” “That’s true. Mine will come as well but for now, I have to ride the bus now.” “In that case, I’ll drop you off.” “Oh, thanks,” she said. “Er, my friend whom I invited will go with us. I hope that’s okay.” “Sure. No problem,” he said and glanced around. He saw a trash bag very close to where they were. “Excuse me.”

He stood, went over and tossed the juice can and paper plate in the trash bag. When he returned to jite, she told him, I’ll have to go and call her. Please wait for me by the gate.” She left him to go and look for Clara. Jite found her talking with a lady. Clara did a quick introduction. “This is my cousin, gift.” “ do you worship here?” Jite asked gift. “ no. A friend invited me.” Jite told Clara. “A man I invited want to give us a ride.” “Gift will you drop me off.” Clara said. “Oh, Alright.” “I’ll see you in school tomorrow.” Clara told her.
