IMITATION (EPISODE 3)

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

CHARITY: That must be him.

ADAOBI: You think so?

(While they were busy guessing who the person was, Juliet was already at the door having a conversation with him.)

JULIET: How may i help you?

DAVID: Good Afternoon, i'm here to see my sister, CHAIRTY is her name, she just got admitted into this school.

JULIET: You must be DAVID.

DAVID: Yes.

JULIET: Hmm, come on inside, she's been expecting you.

(Walking past Juliet, he entered the room to find his sister still arguing with Adaobi over who the person knocking was. The arguement stopped when David said a word, they both looked at him and...)

CHARITY: See? i told you he would be the one. Good Afternoon.

(All that she said fell on deaf ears, her brother was still gazing at Adaobi, he was completely out of it, totally captivated by her Beauty that he couldnt help himself from staring hard at her.)

ADAOBI: *coughs* (Waving her hand) Hello!

(The charmed guy was blind as well, his spirit wasnt in place anymore. His sister, Charity, had to shake him before he realized where he was.)

CHARITY: Brother David!!!

DAVID: Yes Yes What? Oh, sorry, Good Afternoon! (Still gazing partially at the girl beside his sister, Adaobi.)

ADAOBI: Good Evening Sir.

DAVID: Sorry, was that for me?

ADAOBI: Like seriously?

DAVID: Oh, sorry, i'm just, just not in the right state today. Good Afternoon, you girls really transformed this place into someone else entirely.

CHARITY: (Staring into her brother's eyes, giving him that "ARE YOU SURE?" look.)

DAVID: What? Fine, i'm leaving. I just wanted to know where you stay, incase mum or dad should ask me to come over. I guess ill take my leave now. It was nice meeting you and you too (Turned around to find Juliet standing behind him) and you too. (Walked straight to the door, breathing like someone who just ran an inter-country marthon race and left.)

JULIET: What just happened now?

CHAIRTY: #laughs# I think David is in love with our sister, Adaobi. (Saying it as if singing a song.)

ADAOBI: What? Me? Dont even go there.

CHARITY: You saw the way he was staring at you.

JULIET: Is he SHY or what?

CHARITY: SHY? That word doesnt exist in his dictionary. To be frank with you, this is the first i've seen him act this way ever since we started living together. Talking to women has never been his problem. So the only reasonable explanation for this is...

ADAOBI: #smiles# He sure is handsome and sexy.

JULIET: I thought you just said "DONT EVEN GO THERE" a few seconds ago.

ADAOBI: Change Of Mind.

JUILET: Wanna keep him?

CHARITY: Woah Woah Woah, this is my brother we are talking about here, not some random guy out there. You guys should at least, show him some respect in my presence.

ADAOBI: #laughs# Respect? Sweetheart, like i once told you, all men are the same, the only difference between them is their appearance and name, but they all have one thing in common.

CHARITY: David isnt like that.

JULIET: Ada, do you want to keep him?

ADAOBI: Sure, but not for long though.

JUILET: Thats the same thing you said about Kelvin Ejike, "NOT FOR LONG THOUGH", and you ended up falling deeply in love with him beyond your emotional control.

CHARITY: Jeez! You girls are so annoying. (Walks out of the room)

ADAOBI: I've learnt my lesson, but by the time i'm through with this guy, trust me, feeding would become another problem for him.

----------------------------------------

DAVID: I swear, this girl is the most beautiful creature i've ever came across. Right from my primary school, i've always had a crush in her, but couldnt go for her because of my friends, they say its INSANE for you to date a girl from a junior class.

DANIEL: Did she recall you?

DAVID: Nope, she didnt. We never talked throughout my primary and secondary school, and here she is again, attending the same institution with me. This must be a sign.

DANIEL: Sign?

DAVID: Yes, a sign from God, telling me to go after her, telling me indirectly that she is my missing rib.

DANIEL: Na wa O. You have no idea how entertaining it is watching you act this way. The almighty David that can get any girl he wants, the supernova david that cant a date a girl for more than a month. Here you are telling me you've found your missing rib, this girl must certainly be something else.

DAVID: She is more than something else. Honestly, that girl is the most prettiest girl ive ever laid eyes upon, right from my childhood.

DANIEL: Enough with the ranting, what do you intend to do next? What is your next move? If you stay here talking about her all day, it wont change a thing between you two.

DAVID: True. First of all, ill have to get her number.

DANIEL: So you'll go back to her hostel searching for her or...

DAVID: or i can just call CHARITY and ask her to collect her number on my behalf.

DANIEL: Wow! i guess i was somehow wrong about you. You're quite brilliant when it comes to women.

-----------------------------------

JULIET: Forget it jhor. That guy is most simplest guy on campus, he doesnt resist at all.

CHARITY: Is there anything else you girls do other than sit down all day discussing about boys, men and guys?

ADAOBI: Of course. When its exam period, you'd be surprised how fast we can adapt to our academics.

(Phone Rings)

CHARITY: Hi Bro.

DAVID: Where are you please?

CHARITY: I'm in my hostel.

DAVID: I would like you do me a favour. That girl you were discussing with when i entered your room, cam you please send me her number?

CHARITY: Alright. She's right here with me, give me a minute, let me ask for her permission.

ADAOBI: Who be that?

CHARITY: My brother said he would like to have your phone number if its OK by you.

ADAOBI: Sure. Tell him i'll be honored to give it to him.

CHARITY: Alright then.

DAVID: Her name please.

CHARITY: Adaobi, but we girls call her ADA.
