Clara was at home reading a book when her phone rang. She picked it up and noticed that it was an incoming call from an unknown number. At first, she hesitated to pick it up, but she eventually did and answered the call.
Unknown caller: Hi clara, this is jason speaking
clara:Hello Jason How are you doing? Before, I wasn't going to answer the phone since I believed the number was illogically random.
jason: oops, thank God you picked up, well i was just caling to know how you were doing
clara: oh i'm doing great, just reading a novel in my room. what about you, what are you up to
jason: i'm also at home, am actually looking forward to the study at your place tomorrow
clara: same here, i'm also looking forward to it, felicia would be here ealier, what time do you intend coming
jason: as soon am doine with what am going to be doing i will start coming
clara: okay i will be expecting you then. bye
jason: yeah no proble. bye
(call ends)
clara:Before he tears down all the walls on my head tomorrow, I need to go tell dad that I would be hosting extra guests.
(Because Clara isn't a fan of football, she overlooked the fact that her dad was watching the game in the living room and went to sit next to her while making an attention-seeking face.)
clara's dad: hey my princess why the face, what's wrong, did anyone bully you
clara:I'm alright, and no one bullied me. Nevertheless, dad, I wanted to let you know that I would have an extra guest for Felicia and I's study session tomorrow. We recently acquired a new acquaintance at school, and I wanted to let you know beforehand.
clara's dad: hmmmm, a guy, and he wants to study with you girls. what's you guys relationship
clara: dad don't think otherwise, he's just a friend and nothing more please
clara's dad: okay i hope so, no problem then darling
clara: thanks dad, you can continue watching your stuff i will be in my room.
(When she reached her room, she picked up her phone and noticed two missed calls from her closest friend Felicia. She then made the decision to contact Felicia back to find out why she had called. and she picked up the phone on the second ring.)
felicia: hey baby girl where did you keep your phone, i was calling
clara: well i'm calling back now, what is the issue
felicia: eish be nice girl, i just wanted to know if jason was still coming over tomorrow
clara: don't tell me you called me just to ask if jason was still coming over, well yes he's still coming over, we spoke on phone not quite long
felicia: okay baby girl, so are you ready for him, what are going to wear
clara: come of it felicia, am not going on a date, he's just coming to study with us that's all please
felicia: okay, have heard you, i will see you tomorrow okay
clara: yeah bye
(The following morning, Clara awoke, said her little prayers, and proceeded to complete her daily chores. When she was through, her father invited her to the table to eat breakfast and as they were conversing while they were eating,)
clara's dad: my princess, i would be going out today, i want to quickly get somewhere i hope you would be fine on your own
clara: dad am a big girl now, i can take care of myself, and besides felicia will be here soon so you don't have to worry
clara's dad: okay baby if you say so, i need to be on my way now then so i don't run late
clara: okay dad, bye, see you later
(When the doorbell rang and Clara went to see who it was, she saw Jason standing in front of her door. She was astonished because how in the world did he know her house. She then departed to take a bath and set out all the books they would need and some writing tools.)
clara: hey jason, come on in, how did you know my house, i was hoping you would call and ask for directions
jason: uhmm, you don't need to worry about that, and where is felicia
clara: oh felicia isn't here yet, you can have you sit and what can i offer you
jason: i'm fine for now, let's just wait for felicia to come
clara: okay then, i will be back
(She slipped and nearly fell as she turned to go back to the kitchen, but Jason quickly caught her and they remained in that position for a while simply staring at each other.)
