I'm a wise girl...
The Wise Girl
Chapter 2> Episode 3
As we got to the market, we were touring the market, I have forgotten the things grandma sent me to buy, just being in Huna's company can make you forget everything. He handed the bag to me and said he was going to some where, he will check up on me later, he left quickly.
I started listing things that I was sent to buy on my head, but stopped after three items. I mentioned crayfish, magi and dry fish, wait.. is it dry fish or smoked fish, I can't remember again, was it ogbono or okro grandma sent me to buy among the two, If I know I would have written it down. So i went to buy the items I remembered, as I brought crayfish and dip my hand inside the bag to collect money to pay I did not see money, the money was all gone. I scattered my bag and search my clothes but there was nothing, the collected back her crayfish from me as I was searching for money. I was confused, the bag where the money was didn't have holes so how did the money falls from the bag without me and Huna noticing, I don't have any money to replace it. Grandma has already warned me of not having another money to waste.
What am l supposed to do, I can't go back to my grandma empty handed with the excuse of losing the money. I decided to go back to the road I came from probably I will see it before someone picks it. If don't see it then I will wait for Huna to come and see if I can borrow money from him. I will wait for Huna and beg him that I will pay him back as soon as possible, but what if is Huna that took the money without me knowing, if he stole the money then he has crashed my heart for the second time. Well I don't think he will stoop so low to steal the little money that my grandma sent me to the market with. I went in search of the money, my grandma will kill me if I don't find it because she warned me very well before I left for the market.The Wise Girl

As fast as my leg could carry, my heart was beating faster. I looked down on my skirt and begin to wish it was shorter. I wish I wore a short skirt because he mocked my long skirt the other day at the chemist place, maybe, I would have also applied small make up to look more Beautiful. I tried to adjust my skirt now he will see me, l robbed hand on my face to smoothen it just within a second he was already walking beside me. "Hey... I was calling you to stop...

I looked at him and rolled my eyes before making a loud sign, he was still smelling of sweat, he had a mischievous smile tug at one corner of his mouth, he sounded so off, l continued where I was going. I wanted him to ask me politely, "l dey ask you question you dey give me attitude, u know I be?.. This girl... u dey take me play o..

He walked with me to the market, l forgot all my worries about him and felt relaxed as we talked and laughed, he even helped me to carry my bag.
