JULIA DACOSTER

a, people are watching us, ” Her mum warns.

Umar was watching them the whole time. He had eye contact with Julia, and she smiled at him which melted his heart almost immediately, he felt his heart beat out loudly in excitement for the first in years.

Rocky narrated the whole story to the pastor and asked for his intervention, the pastor was unwilling, and it took a lot of effort and counseling to help her get over that incident.

He has known the Dacoster family for over 15 years. He finally agreed to

help them out. Julia was in the kitchen with her mum preparing supper.

”Julia! ” Her mum called out.

”Yes mum, ” She answered while chopping vegetables.

Wow! You are doing that very well, ” her mum teased.

”Come on mum, the fact that I don stay in the kitchen doesn mean I can cook and of course chopping vegetables is the easiest, ” She said as they both giggled.

”And yes, are you not friends with Aba? ” her mum asked while checking on her chicken in the oven.

”Who Abalina? ” She replied.

”Yes mum we are, she is Mrs. Simonass daughter, ” she added.

”What happened to you two? I saw how

you passed by her without even saying hello. Are you two having any issues? ” her mum asked trying to figure out Julias sudden change of attitude.

”I don know what I did to her. She will not talk to me, even on campus, she had asked me if I liked Jack, the tallest and coolest guy on campus. I told her no, that he was just a

friend. Well, I did her the favor of telling Jack, she was having a crush on him. ” Julia mumbled rising the knife in the air.

”And guess what mum, the dump ass went to stand in front of the whole school and confess his love for me. That no one else matters, can you imagine that? The worst of it Aba thought I cheated on her and made fun of her love. He even stole a kiss from me. I gave him a hot slap across his face, ” Julia recall the whole incident when narrating the story to her mum.

”Put the knife down please, ” her mum muttered giving her all her attention.

”I tried explaining to Aba, Jack was not a guy worth loving but she got upset and hit me in the face, ” She grumbled.

”What! ” Her mum exclaimed. ” Was it that bad? ”
