“Una dey try for here”she said and sat down.
“It’s diamond not die young, both don’t even sound alike”Diamond said.
“If you no wan make I call you no problem cause na die young I Sabi talk”she said and Diamond sighed and notice Xavier who’s already down.
“Hey”
“I’ll show you around”he said and she smiled walking to him but June also stood up.
“I didn’t call you”Xavier said and the translator machine translated.
“Your mama talk say anywhere you dey go make I follow you”she said and the translator machine translated.
“Even to the bathroom?”Xavier asked.
“If he reach that level na, wetin even dey there way I no fit see!”she said and they gasped.
“What the!!!!”Diamond shouted.
“Eh na, you still be pikin na, wetin dey there way I never see”she scoffed.
“You really wanna see?”Xavier smirked.
“I no wan see small thing so keep am”she said and he blinked repeatedly.
“You ready go abi you no ready cause sleep dey catch me”she said.
“Don’t come with us”Xavier held Diamond but she followed them.
“He said you shouldn’t follow us!”Diamond said.
“Abeg shut up, na you carry me come work”she said and Diamond kept quiet as she followed Xavier who isn’t holding her again.
They got to the pool.
“Wow! Beautiful!”Diamond exclaimed.
“Wetin? Na film you dey act?”June muttered.
“Can I swim?”Diamond faced Xavier.
“Suit yourself”he said and she walked to the changing room, there are different swimming suit there so she put on one.
“Blood of Jesus!”June screamed and turned Xavier to the other side so he wouldn’t look at Diamond.
“You no get shame ooo, you be real ashawo!”June said but Xavier hit her hand on his before facing Diamond.
“Can you just behave like you aren’t here!”Xavier scoffed.
“You look good”Xavier said and Diamond smiled before walking to the pool and she jumped in.
“Ah! This place na hell fire way I think say na heaven”she said and Xavier faced her but her phone rang from her cross bag so she brought it out.
“Hello”she said.
“It’s me Finch”Finch said.
“Oh na you fish”she smiled and Xavier scoffed at her reaction.
“Give me a name instead”Finch said and she thought for sometime.
“Angel”she said.
“Angel?”
“Yes na, since when I come, all the people way I dey meet na satan ooo but you you act like angel or make I change am to Godsend”she said.
“No Angel is better”he said and she nodded.
“Just wanted to hear your voice”he said when she didn’t say anything.
“Oya you don hear am na”she said.
“Byebye”he said in her accent.
“Byebye”she smiled and he hanged up.
Xavier who’s supposed to be looking at Diamond as been looking at her.
“You both are close?”he asked but she said nothing since there’s no translator machine or translator app so Xavier turned on his phone.
“Are you both close?”he asked again.
“How he take concern you”she said and he blinked again.
“You work for me, I should know those you are close with”he said.
“Wetin dey do you self, na you way no wan talk to me con dey ask me rubbish question. Na your mama I dey work for no be you”she said and walked close to the pool.
“Abeg come outside, sleep dey catch me seriously come dey go house”she said and Diamond stared at her in annoyance.
“Can you stop interfering in our business!”she shouted and Xavier closed his ears with his palms due to her shout.
“No dey shout ooo”June said and walked to Xavier, his eyes closed too.
“See am, if na to talk rubbish he go sabi talk”she muttered and held his hand, talking it off his ear.
“If you don finish, you know as you take come take am go”she said and dragged Xavier away.

Diamond just came home and she walked straight to Gold’s room.
“What the! What if I was doing something you shouldn’t see!”Gold shouted.
“Not now, that girl keeps getting in-between us, I couldn’t even enjoy my stay”Diamond said and fell on the bed beside her.
“Thought you’re gonna keep pretending to be gentle and nice”Gold scoffed.
“I need help Gold not corrections on something that already happened?”she said.
“I was planning on throwing a party tomorrow”Gold said.
“Xavier won’t attend parties, he can’t stay where there’s much noise”she said.
“What about a sleepover, that did be better”Gold said.
“She’ll still come with him”she said.
“Doesn’t matter, we’d get her drunk and he’s all yours”Gold said and she smiled.
“Now leave my room!”Gold point at the door and she chuckled before walking out.
Gold returned to staring at Finch photos.

June walked out of Xavier room since he just fell asleep.
“Ah, since I no sleep”she muttered as she walked to her room. She walked to the bathroom and had her shower before putting on her pajamas. The maids told her about it.
Note, there are maids in the island. She can’t possibly cook american foods.
She had her prayers and fell on the bed. It took only two minutes for her to get to the dream land.

*NEXT MORNING
June just finished dressing up. She’s on a simple not too short dress. She carried her cross bag which her phone was in and put in the new one then hang the headphone round her neck.
She walked out afterwards and met Xavier in the dinning already. Her stomach made sounds of hunger and she sat down.
“You no fit greet?”she said and Xavier finally looked up. The translator machine already translated.
“Greet?”
“No na you senior me na”she scoffed.
“Just don’t talk to me”he said.
“Who wan follow you talk before?”she scoffed and began eating.
Noah walked in immediately.
“Good morning household”he said and they turned to him.
“Eh eh, your mama train you well, morning jare, how your night?”she smiled and he laughed before replying.
“Beautiful”he said and sat down.
“Obviously you didn’t sleep at home”Xavier said.
“Thought you weren’t gonna talk to me”Noah smiled and started eating since a maid already dished his own food.
“You left me yesterday, didn’t even see you in the last class”Xavier said.
“Sorry baby”he winked.
“How was your night June?”he faced her and she smiled.
“Fine ooo, I sleep like baby”she said and he laughed.
“The way you talk is just too funny”he said and she smiled since the translator machine already translated so she understands.
“I’m done”Xavier said and June looked at his plate. He only ate half potion.
“You sabi waste food”June said and took his plate, pouring it in her own that hasn’t finish. The both of them stared at her but she started eating without looking at them.
“Did you just do that?”Xavier said.
“Do wetin?”she looked up.
“Poured my food on yours”he said.
“You no fit waste food where I dey only if na food way I no dey chop”she said and he stood up.
“I give you only five minutes to meet me in the car”he said and walked away.
“Even me buddy, my driver took my car already”Noah said but he didn’t stop.
“Eat fast”June said and he looked at her plate but it remains just little. How in the world did she eat that so quick.
Few minutes later, they joined Xavier in the car and the driver drove off.
Thirty minutes later, they got to college, stepping down, June met Finch.
“Hey”he waved and she smiled and walked to him.
“First lesson way you go learn na to say good morning if you see person no be that hey way you talk”she said and he smiled.
“I get it, Good morning June”he said and she smiled.
“I wan show you two things”she said.
“Let’s go”he let out his hand and she place hers but another hand held her other hand.
“You forgot who you came here with?”Xavier said and the translator app which was turned on from Finch phone translated.
“She’s coming with me”Finch said.
“She doesn’t have to choose, she’s coming with me”Xavier said and she took her hand away from Xavier own.
“No touch me like that again, you wan cut my hand”she said and gently took her hand away from Finch.
“Just follow me”Xavier said.
“Hear me ooo, you go wait for me for here or I go come meet you for class cause I wan show Angel something”she said and he gasped.
Thinking she was gonna come with him but she picked Finch over him. Seriously!
