The day had just broken, Mrs Susan Osuji was used to waking up very early to prepare for work, she had to drop the twins off at their school, this morning because they had started writing their WEAC examination. The girls were dragging foot, she was just consulting her wristwatch, as though a bomb would explode the next minute .

Lora came out first in smartlu ironed light green shirt and dark green skirt , she was wearing a leather sandals and a white sox. she climbed into the front seat of the car , as Lara went to the back seat.
“What are you doing in the front sit Lora? Nów move to the back , Lara come to the front.”
Lora was still seating fixed, angry at her mum.

“Can you not hear me! I said movw to the back sit , or you want a dirty slap this morning!!” Mrs Susan Osuji screamed at her daughter . Lora forced back the tears that was battling to come out of her eyes ,shw stepped out to the back seat, and Lara came to the front , Lara and Mrs Susan chatted gayly until ten minutes later when she dropped them off at the gate of their school .
“Baby come over come and give mama a kiss.”

Lara who had gone down from the car and was walking to the school gate , came back and gave her mum a peck on the cheek. Lora watched as tears danced from her eyes down to her shirt .
” Baby I wish you the best! Please make mommy proud, this is your last papper , after today you’ll be done with secondary school.”
Lara smiled at her mother.
“Ok have a nice day at work, and remember the phone you promised us , I need it today mummy, I don’t want to be bored .”

Mrs Susan smiled at her , and blew her a kiss in the as she sooned off.
“Lora wait for me! Why are you rushing off without me ?”
Lara ran up to meet her sister.
“Lora! Lora! Lora!! Wait up, why are you marching like a soldier rushing to war? ”
Bidemi who just got into the school gate asked her.
“Good morning Bidemi, how was your night ?” Lora replied.
Bidemi wondered why Lora was wearing a long face early in the morning.
” Why the long face na bestie?”
Lara looked at her sternly, she hated when Bidemi called Lora bestie, because she should be her twin’s bestie.
” Tolotolo why are you looking at me ? Bidemi attacked Lara, there was a mutual hatred between the two , since Bidemi got to know the twins in SS1.
” Guys you guys should stop fighting over me , Bidemi did you touch the equation?”
Bidemi ignored the question.
” Tell me why you’re carrying a long face, like you’re returning from a funeral service?”
Bidemi insisted . But Lora wouldn’t answer .
” I saw your mum’s car at the round about, could she have anything to do with your long face?”
Lora wouldn’t say anything.
“What’s your business? Why do you like poke nosing in other people’s business? Leave my sister alone.”
Lara said furious at Bidemi.
“Taarh! Shut up Tolotolo instead of me to waste My very precious words on you, I would rather , look for a real Tolotolo to have a chat.”
Bidemi knew that it must be their mother’s partiality chewing at Lora.

They got into the examination hall, the hall was massive, it could carry eight hundred students, most of the SS3 students from the school withdrew from the school and travelled to the neighbouring states of Niger, Nasarawa, Kogi and Kaduna to write their exams, where cheating is allowed. The WEAC examination was strict and tough in Gwarimpa Secondary school, students who were not prepared, were forced to sort their exhibits, before the exam and hide it far away from the exam invigilators.
“Students this is your last paper, we’ve been successful in this exam, no student from this year has been caught with expo, please this is your last paper! Just keep anything that would get you into trouble away .”
The exam supervisor shared the exam scripts to the students and the exam began around eight AM . It was mathematics, Lara was brushing down the answers , like a lawn mower sweeping down tall standing grasses . Lara was sitting immediately behind Lora, she was terrible in maths, Lara fed her with answers for objective . When it 9P time for theory Lara started calling out to Lora for help .
” Lora! Lora! Lora please help me, S I’ve not written down anything.”
Lora whispered so as not to be heard by the owl eyes invigilators.
” Lora , Lora! Please help me !”
Lara was busy solving the mathematical equations.
Lora was almost crying as she waited for Lara, she wasn’t friendly to her classmates, so this made it difficult for her to get any help.
” Thirty minutes more!”
The external invigilator screamed. Lora passed her papers to Lara, and collected hers , when it was twenty minutes to go, Lora helped her answer three questions with their subquestions correctly, she was started the fourth question when an invigilator caught her.
” Who are you writing for ? I saw your answer booklet, you had used up every page!”
Lora was startled and confused .
” Sir it’s my.. my sis…”
The man collected Lara’s paper from her and collected Lora’s paper from Lora, and Lara began to cry , the both of them were sent out of the hall.
” You’ve done your own abi? You’re just so wicked Lara! So you had to answer every one of your questions before you could help me .”
Lara was pissed at Lora for making her get caught .
” I never told you, not to sit down and learn maths, I answered three and a half questions for you plus the OJB, that would give you a B or C.”
Lara was exasperated, at Lora’s remarks, she stormed out of the school compound. Lora ran to staff quarters, to inform her maths teacher about what had happened.
Mr Silvester had to go and see the invigilator, who was an old colleague of his at Government secondary school Garki , to merciful on the girls.
The students were signing on their uniforms, shouting In joy, for they’d finished from secondary school.

Mrs Susan got back home that evening around seven PM.
“Hey baby how are you doing?
She asked Lara , who had squeezed herself on a sofa folded like a cat.
“I’m fine mummy.”
Mrs Susan noticed the lukewarmness in her daughter.
“What’s wrong with you baby? You don’t sound happy?”
Lara was Quiet like a mouse. Her mum kept on pestering her for answer, which she refused to give.
Dinner was served, fried rice and chicken, which was Lara’s favorite meal . But she refused to eat, she was just turning the food over and over with her spoon, while staring angrily at Lora who was sitting just across the dinning table from her .

“I don’t understand the coldness between the two of you, you’re silent fight is choking me up, it’s getting on my nerves! Now tell me what’s going on?”
The twin were silent, for moment.
”Mum I was begging Lora for help, with my mathematics… She ignored me, until it was too late for me to write.”
Lara said . Mrs Susan turned to Lora.
“Lora I that true? Did you refuse to help your sister even though see was sitting next to you?”
Lora was silent, because she knew judgement had been passed against her already.
“Very wicked girl! You’re just as wicked as your evil father wherever he is . You eat my food, you drink my water! I house you! All for what? You cannot help your own twin sister.”
Lora had heard enough.
“Come back here! How dare you walk out on me?
Lora went to her room upstairs, her mum followed her .
“What gave you the effrontery to work out of me ?”
She creamed at her
“Mum I know you have already passed judgement even without hearing my side , I know Lara is your favorite daughter! I’m just an in child from your careless mistake! Nothing I do would ever please you! Was I supposed to write everything for her ? The both of you should kill, I’m tired…”

Mrs Susan landed a resounding slap on Lora, her eyes went blank for a minute and she bagan to see stars twinkling. She screamed out in shock and stormed out of the house.
” Lora come back here!” Mrs Susan called, Lora banged the door and stormed out . She was walking aimlessly around the estate, she didn’t know where to go , she only knew Bidemi and Chinedu’s place at a nearby ghetto , in her Pajamas , she made the twenty minutes walk to Chinedu’s house, his parents gave him a room in their face me i face you five room building. Gutter crawled through the front of the house, the stench from the nearby toilet could kill a toilet fly.
“Lora what are you doing here ? ”
Chinedu was surprised to see Lora that late in the night,he knew her mother never let them move out of the estate. He saw her swollen eyes he knew she must have been crying.
“Please Chinedu is It okay If I stay the night here?”
Chinedu nodded . He rushed to shop of the Hausa man preparing noodles and egg, to purchase noodles for her.
” you should have told me, I’m not hungry.”
She ate a bit and he finished up the remaining, Lora cried while explaining her ordeal in the hands of her mother and sister to Chinedu, and how nobody in her life loved her, and that she was love starved, he felt sorry for her and consoled her, the Abuja unpredictable rain began to fall heavily, with ice blocks beating on the zinc sheets like gun bullets,the teenagers embraced each other, he moved his lips near hers, and she planted a soft kiss on his lips, they lay in bed and drifted into the realms of passion, forgetting the strong wind trying to uproot the roof.
