[ He folded the SHEET gently and kept it on the table ]
NONSO: See? He just wants to be your friend. Not your BOYFRIEND or LOVER...
AMAKA: Whatever. I'm still not buying this. There are other girls he can make his friends, why would he choose me? something is FISHY here...
NONSO: Mehn, Sister Amy, youre always on HIGH ALERT ...
AMAKA: Dont ever call me AMY again...
NONSO: Hmm, Alright. But seriously, you need to calm down and relax a bit. No every guy is a BEAST. Take me for example, I'M DIFFERENT ...
AMAKA: Your case is different. You are my brother. And besides, who knows what you are capable of...
NONSO: This is getting serious. Fine Fine Fine. Just remember you're a lady and you cant keep chasing men away forever. I would pressure you any further...
( He leaves the sitting room .... )
AMAKA: ( To herself ) He would never understand. I'm just trying to be careful. Besides, thats how it all starts, from friendship, gradually, you start creating FEELINGS. Next thing, youre dating, and it all ends the same way, HEART BREAK. Ladies these days tend to get fooled by family backgrounds, that his dad is a pastor doesnt make him a saint. Its up to us to define ourselves, not our parents. So its better you see them all as one and stop categorizing them based on belief or family background.

( ONE EVENING ... unknwn location ... )
PASCAL: Guy, forget that thing. At this age, Marriage?...
GUY 1: I'm serious. IF she's truly pregnant, you're definitely getting married...
PASCAL: Not when there are hospitals awaiting ladies looking for means to abort their babies ...
GUY 1: Please dont tell me you're actually considering that option? Do you really wanna tag yourself a murderer at this age?
GUY 2: ( To Guy 1 ) Just forget it. Stop trying to convince this guy or lead him in the right path. Its obvious his end is already known to him. I dont think he's willing to change...
PASCAL: ( To Guy 2 ) Please tell him O, i dont see how it concerns him even if i kill her myself. Afterall, i asked her and she said she was on birth control, so whats the big deal. Its her fault, so let her deal with it.
GUY 1: No wahala. I give up. ( What concerns me with his life, he can go to hell for all i care since he doesnt listen to advice. I guess he just wants people to spend his money on, so let me assist him ) Bartender, please give me another bottle of WINE.
PASCAL: Now you're talking, lets live life to the fullest now that we're still very young, when we get old, we can start VINDICATING ourselves.
GUY 2: That reminds me, what of that new chick you told us about. THe one you sent a letter to. SHey she don REPLY? ...

< On Phone >>>>
AMAKA: I'm serious. Lets go out this weekend. Dad is out of town and mum would be out all day. Wedding things.
UCHENNA: That would be Great. Just beep me as soon as youre ready. So what was it you wanted to ask me? ...
AMAKA: Oh, Yes. I almost forgot. Some guy called IKENNA sent me a letter saying he would like to be my friend. I just feel i need someone's permission before concluding on my decision.
UCHENNA: Do you like him? ...
AMAKA: Hell no! i dont. I dont even know him. I just know his name, not that i care to remember though.
UCHENNA: Well, you can go ahead and accept his friend request so as not to tarnish your image. Even if you dont like him, it wont kill to say YES. Its just friendship, so you owe him nothing.
AMAKA: Alright Dear. Thanks a lot. I guess we'd see during the weekend. Sweet dreams dear.
UCHENNA: You too.
<< Hangs up the phone ... >>
AMAKA: ( To herself ) Friends, some are just there to eat and dine with you. No particular interest in your life, as long as you provide what they need. Making best use of past experiences, learning from the mistake of others. Asking questions to increase in knowledge. I guess i'll say YES to his proposal. And see how it goes, if i gain nothing from him, i might as well stay away. Like she said, "I OWE HIM NOTHING".
