When i arrived from school,i hurriedly came out of the car and went in search of kelvin. I met him in the kitchen and excitedly threw myself into his arm in a bare hug. I could tell he was surprised but he accepted the hug.
He released himself from my grip and asked for the reason he is getting a hug. I told him everything that happened in school, he smilled and said i will have to start respecting him now else he would tell my secret to the whole school if i disrespect him. I pushed him playfully and left for my room. Mom was not around so i had lunch with kelvin and had my nap. I woke up by 5:00pm and made dinner with kelvin. He taught me howto make garri and vegetable soup,though the meal was a little bit difficult, it was fun making it with kelvin. Mom got back by 7:00pm,we had dinner and went to our separate room after seeing a movie. Jordan called and insisted we chat. So, we had a long chat before i finally slept off by 12:00am.I woke up lately the following morning due to the late night chat with Jordan. I hurriedly got out of bed, greeted mom and kelvin, then hurriedly dressed and left for school without breakfast.The litrature class was going on already when i got to my department, i greeted Miss.esther and made for an empty sit when i noticed people were unnecessarily looking at me. I was about sitting when miss.Esther called my name and i turned toface her. She said “Nancy,are you not the one I saw in chemistry class some minutesago,you told me you are a science student when i asked what you were doing in chemistry class. I already told the class you’ve switched to science department or did you change your mind again??” I could not understand what miss.Esther was driving at,myself? In chemistry class?. Miss.Esther question brought me back to reality,as she asked again if i had changed my mind . I told her i was just arriving school and i do not even know where the chemistry laboratory is located. I could seethe surprise on her face when she asked if ireally was not the person she saw at the science lab this morning,i replied positivelyand she asked me to follow her. I dropped my bag and we both matched out of the class. We got to the science lab the chemistry teacher also was surprised to see me he looked at me and said “Nelly I thought you said you were going to the restroom, when did you have a change of cloth?” I did not know what to say so i just told him am not Nelly.The chemistry teacher asked Miss.esther what was going on and she told him she was as surprised as he was. The chemistry teacher took my i.d and i was wondering what kind of drama was going on,who the hell is Nelly anyways?? I was still thinking when the chemistry teacher removed his eyes from my I.D and he concentrated his gaze on theentrance. Miss.Esther did the same and so did everybody in the hall. I followed their gaze and I saw the shock of my life!!!!!!Even without a mirror i could tell that she looked exactly like me, she was expensively dressed as well, with the samefair skin,pointed nose,big eye ball and everyother thing was the same as every part of my body except the height. I was a bit tallerthan her. Wow what a world!! She was also looking at me from head to toe just the way i was looking at her in surprise. Miss.Esther and the chemistry teacher exchanged glance and kept on looking from Myself to my look alike. ‘‘Are you sure the two of you are not identical twin?’ the chemistry teacher brooke the silence with his question. I could not respond i just shook my head. The chemistry teacher asked My look alike to come in and she came closer,there was whispering every where as everybody couldnot hide there surprise. Miss.Esther asked if we have met before and we both said ‘No’, she then asked for her surname and she said ‘Stanley’, so you are ‘Nelly Stanley’while you are ‘Nancy Williams’? The chemistry teacher asked, we both noded and the chemistry teacher said “truly God created human in twoS, if the two of you are not blood related,this will really be amazing”. The chemistry teacher speech got me thinking if truly am not an only childand if possibly Nelly is my sister,why wouldmom ever lie to me? I asked myself without an answer as miss.Esther took my hand and we walked back to my department.I did not pay full attention to the literature lesson so the class ended on a boring note. I went to the cafeteria to get lunch and if only eyes could kill,i should be dead by now. I was waiting for my order when i felt a tap on my shoulder, i looked behind me and i saw another version of me! She smilled charmingly and said ‘Hi, am Nelly’. God! She even smilled like me!!Seeing her made me short of words and words could not describe how i felt. I opened my mouth but i could not produce a word. How can we look this alike and notbe blood related? I asked myself. The cafeteria attendance voice brought me back to reality, she was asking me to pickup my order and allow my sister have hers. I quickly said ‘Hi’ to Nelly and took myorder. Since Nelly was the next person in line, i waited on her to get her order for me not to appear unfriendly. After getting her order, she said ‘Thankyou’ and i responded with ‘welcome’.We settled in an empty table and started toeat. She asked for my name and i told her ‘Nancy’ then she said “so you are Nancy and i am Nelly and together we are N square” we both laughed and continued to discuss as we eat. Nelly asked about my parent and she said she would love to meet them, suprisingly she is an only child as well and she did not hide how happy shewas to have a twin sister. According to her,even if we are not blood related, our appearance made us a set of identical twin, we laughed at her theory and had a selfiee after lunch. With Nelly it felt like we have been together for years. We left the cafeteria together after lunch and we walked hand in hand to the general class.The mathematics teacher could not hide his surprise when he saw nelly, he asked why my twin sister was just resuming school,i told him Nelly was not my twin andhe could not hide is shock as he, diverted from the lecture to asking questions about myself and Nelly. The class ended and i left the school compound with Nelly, her driver arrived early but she waited for my driver to arrive before she left.The car was moving slower because i was so anxious to get home. I needed to tell mymom everything about Nelly and be reassured that i am an only child. Having Nelly as a sister wont be a bad idea but i needed to be sure before i would draw a conclusion. I got home 3:20pm,i hurried out of the car to my mom’s room. Mom was dressing up for somewhere when i got to her room, i hurriedly greeted her with a hug and told her we needed to talk. Mom sat me down on her bed and i told her everything about Nelly,she asked for the pictures and i could see the shock in her eyes when she saw the resemblance. I asked mom if i was adopted or if probably am a twin. Mom smilled and said “Nancy my baby,come here” i went into her arms and she continued ” dont you ever think i will lie to you, you are all i have and all i need, i have no reason whatsoever to lie toyou about anything. Surly this other girl looks like you but am also sure i did not give birth to a set of twin. You are the only apple of my eye. You know what? invite thisgirl over for lunch on friday and tell her i would love to meet her parents” Mom ended her speech and released me from her arm. I apologised for doubting mom and she said its a normal reaction. Mom left afterwards and i went to my room.After changing my dress into something more comfortable i went to the kitchen andmet kelvin making lunch. We exchanged pleasantries and he asked about school. I told kelvin about Nelly and mom’s request, i also showed him the picture and he was as well shocked. Kelvin promised to make the best lunch on Friday,since i would be bringing my twin home and we both laughed. I was not really hungry so i left thekitchen after talking with kelvin. I called khole and Jordan,i told them about nelly and Jordan asked me to share the picture we took on WhatsApp.I went to school happily the following day, ilooked forward to lunch during my first lecture. I was so anxious to know what Nelly’s reply would be when i tell her about my mom’s invite.The class ended and i rushed to the cafeteria in search of Nelly. I saw her sitting alone,immediately she saw me,she jumped towards me and hugged me. I returned the hug and we both went to place an order for lunch. We were yet to start eating when Nelly smilled and said ” Twinny, i told my parent about you, and they were very happy. They said i should invite you over for lunch today,please dont say no” I was suprised, i told her about my mom’s invite as well and we both laughed. During lunch i called mom and she agreed with me going with Nelly but on the condition that i will go with the driver and her parent will come with her for lunch on friday in order to clear all doubt. I told Nellyabout my mom’s conditions and she calledher dad to inform him about my mom’s conditions. Nelly’s dad said he could only make dinner on friday because he would be bussy during lunch. I called mom back to inform her and she agreed with the arrangement. Nelly was happy about the arrangement and so was i, i was just a bit nervous about meeting her family.After lunch,we left for English class together and throughout the lecture i couldnot keep the thought of what Nelly’s parentreacting would be out of my mind...
