Most of the heroes and heroines in the high school movies I enjoyed watching during our previous holiday had their issues when prom was only a few weeks away so I kept wondering why mine had to be different. How could I of all people be punished on the second day of the second week of resumption? That was very unfair! "My elder sis can handle dinner alone. Please let me stay", Jess offered to help me sweep our school compound after closing hour as our proprietor requested after I and Halima were caught fighting. "It's fine. You told me your dad usually complains about her cooking", I picked a broom from the back of our classroom's door. "Well, I'm not that good a cook. Dad won't let my mom cook because he feels irritated with the way she spits so he's going to buy us dinner.
