Oh Fejiro darling.

I don't know how this got here,

but I hear it's all over the school.

So...

you claim you have nothing to do with this?

I swear,

I know nothing.

If for anything, she did it by herself for attention.

Exactly, I believe so too ma.

Amanda.

I just got back,

and I have nothing to do with this.

I know that.

And I also know that you are on probation.

And if you are lying to me,

that is grounds for expulsion.

Principal.

Now, this feels to me like intimidation.

You are threatening us.

I feel so too ma.

Ms Ojune.

Ms Ojune, we messed up.

Did the crime, did the time.

but it seems like

you are the one picking on us and taking sides.

I am not taking sides.

We wouldn't want our parents to take legal action

on this beautiful school that we love so much.

Exactly ma’am.

I mean, here we are missing classes

when we are innocent.

Okay then,

you can go back to your classes.

But be rest assured that investigations are ongoing.

And if you are found culpable,

it's expulsion.

Thank you very much ma'am.

And trust me,

we’ve learnt our lessons.

And I promise you...

we are innocent.

So innocent.

That's fine.

You can go back to your classes for now.

Thank you ma'am.

You are innocent?

Darling haven't you heard,

innocent until proven guilty.

You both did this.

For us Mandy.

So that means we all did it.

Not we.

Look, I do not want any part in this.

Well someone was quite in there and lied with us, so...

you can be salty as much as you want

but you are practically in on this.

Clean up your vibe girl,

it stinks.

Bomalistica.

Boma.

King Kali my man.

What’s up?

Is everything okay?

Everything is fantastic.

In fact,

it’s fantastic to the point that...

I think you are right.

Kali, I'm lost here.

You better be found.

What I’m trying to say is that...

Remember you said we should go and greet that man.

Yes.

I agree with you.

Really?

Yes.

Kali.

Yes.

Why the sudden change of mind?

Does it really matter?

I just told you that

I thought about it and I agree with you.

You are still asking questions, I don’t understand.

Kali, is that why you are angry?

I just asked an innocent question.

Guy are you going or not?

It's okay, I'm going.

Really?

Alright then.

King Kali my man.

Let’s meet after class, so we will go together.

That's good.

-Alright then. -No problem.

Sorry Kali.

Do you have the man's address?

Yes.

That's good.

Alright then.

Later.

Sorry!

Sorry.

Did you tell him we are coming?

Boma you are asking too many questions.

Don't worry about it, I’ve settled that already.

You, just get ready and we will go together.

No problem then.

Alright then.

-King Kali my man. -We see later.

-You’re enjoying this job of yours. -He who little is given...

Much is expected.

Alright then.

King Kali my man.

Listical.

Wow!

Kali. -Yes.

So you mean this wealthy man

actually graduated from that trenches school?

Am telling you.

In that case, we have hope.

Yes of course.

That's why that girl has no respect,

you know when their parents are rich like this

they have no regard. -They misbehave.

I think he’s busy.

Well done bros.

Well done sir.

Don’t call him sir, he’s a security man.

Sorry.

How are you?

How can I help you?

Uhm...

We are here to see Mr. Henshaw.

Yes.

Do you have an appointment?

Uhm...

Actually, not really.

Oga it’s a yes or no answer.

Do you have an appointment?

Okay.

No.

He is not around.

Alright, that's fine.

Can we see the madam of the house?

Can we see Mrs. Henshaw?

I don't know.

Okay.

Can you go in and tell her that,

Amanda teacher, sorry.

In fact, teachers.

the ones who saved her from being kidnapped and all that.

Are here to see her.

Really?

Be fast.

What is wrong with you?

Why are you calling an ordinary gateman sir?

I’m sorry, I only wanted to be polite.

Which polite?

You need to start giving yourself some level

so that other people can respect you.

I’m sorry.

Coordinate.

You can come in.

So, how can we help you?

Help us?

You have helped us enough that

we no longer need help.

We are just here to appreciate you and Mr. Henshaw.

Yes, for helping us to get our jobs back ma.

We brought wine to show our appreciation ma.

Oh wow!

Yes ma.

I’m impressed.

We are more impress ma.

Thank you, but you didn't have to go out of your way.

Don't say that ma.

helped us in one way or the other.

So we like to return the favor.

In our own little way.

Okay.

Then thank you again.

-You’re welcome ma -Thank you ma.

Hope she is staying out of trouble?

Yes, she is.

That's good.

Her class mate...

[Teekay] Hey new girl.

Here’s a gift for you to keep me close everywhere you go.

My number is in the phone.

Call me.

Love, Teekay.

Hey old boy.

Hey new girl.

Fejiro!

Fejiro!

Fejiro wait up.

What?

I want to talk to you.

Leave me alone.

Look Fejiro, I’m really sorry

for everything that happened the other day.

No you are not, stay away from me.

Honestly, I am.

I truly am.

Leave me alone!

What was that?

Nothing.

Mandy, that didn't look like nothing.

Shut up Chiza!

She’s right.

It did not look like nothing.

Well, if you must know,

I was only letting her know her place.

Hmm...

Why don't I believe you?

And who cares what you believe Chiza?

Okay, enough with the squabble.

We are not fighting today.

Okay?

Let’s go.

Teekay!

Teekay!

Over here.

Come.

Good morning sir.

Good morning to you.

By now you must have confirmed that I did a very good job.

Yes sir.

Nice one.

So what are you waiting for?

Nice one.

Now to your class!

It’s complete.

Kali.

What is happening here?

I don’t understand.

Hold on,

I saw you collecting money from that boy.

And Kali,

You did not tell me what you gave to that girl

when we went to her house.

It's business Boma.

Kali.

Just business.

Remember why you were hired back here.

If the school finds out--

Who’s going to tell them?

Huh?

Are you the one that will report me?

Kali!

Boma!

Kali!

Boma!

See,

I need to go to my class.

Let’s meet at the canteen, if you are hungry.

But if you want to be "Father Pious",

stay on your lane.

Kali can never change.

You again?

This can't be a coincidence now, can it?

Yes, just shows how clumsy you are.

Excuse you, you keep running into me.

I am not doing this.

Are going to hit me again?

I didn't hit you.

Okay.

If that's what you tell yourself then see you around

New girl- -Amanda!

My name is Amanda.

I didn't ask.

The audacity.

Good afternoon students.

Good afternoon Ms Cheta.

Good afternoon Mr. Efe.

You all know why we are here.

Yes ma.

Mr. Efe the music teacher will be in charge of our orchestra

and composing of a glorious music for our production.

He will also help me in scoring your auditions.

Are you prepared?

Yes ma’am.

You have read your lines

and you are in sync with the characters in the play?

Yes ma.

I want soul,

passion, authenticity,

nuance, originality.

I want you to perform,

but most of all I want you all to break a leg.

Now, shall we begin.

Who is coming up first?

Thank you ma.

Thank you ma’am.

My name is Kayla Mcdermott.

What?

It's my stage name.

My name is Kayla Mcdermott and

I shall be auditioning for the lead role, Adaugo.

And my monologue is taken from Act 3 scene 3.

Thank you.

I am the daughter of the earth and the sea,

I was placed on this land by the gods themselves,

destined to be the first female ruler of this land,

prophesied to bring rain and bountiful harvest upon my people.

And today,

that prophecy has come to pass.

As your queen...

I will stand for and with you

from when the sun kisses the blue skies,

to when it buries itself under the Okpeke river.

I will go to war for you and bring the heads of our enemies

and hang them on the western hills of Okpeke.

I will go into the belly of the beast, if I must

to bring powers to protect us

from the evil eyes of our enemies.

I will serve,

I will lead,

and I will bring this land to greatness, as long as I live.

This I promise.

Long live Okpeke Kingdom!

Long live Okpeke Kingdom!

Wonderful, spectacular, magnifico!

So who’s next?

Okay.

My name is Amanda Henshaw,

and I will be auditioning for the lead, Adaugo.

My monologue is from Act 2 scene 1.

Muofunanya...

our love is meant to be, the gods will it.

I know you fear that our love is forbidden and therefore hopeless,

but love is nothing if not hopeful.

No, my love...

you are burnt upon my heart and I bear that mark.

I am a slave of your love,

from now till death.

I promise you, you will be my husband,

and you will stand by my side when I become queen.

No harm will befall you,

and you shall be father to all

the princes and the princesses of this great kingdom.

You are mine forever.

And nothing dead or alive

will ever separate you and I

Thank you.

Beautiful.

Next.

Mandy.

Really?

Did you have to do that?

Kayla what did I do now?

Audition for the lead?

Uh...I shouldn't have?

No!

Obviously not.

You know I always

“Always”

audition for the lead role.

Well, seeing that I just got back

that was actually the easiest thing for me to do.

Mandy you broke the girl code.

That wasn’t cool.

Uh..what rule says friends are not allowed to compete?

There is an unspoken rule.

But I guess that flew over your petty head as well.

Come on Kayla, it’s not that deep.

Of course it’s not.

And for your information,

there is no competition.

I would wipe the floor with you any time, any day.

Well fine, then there’s no need for you to be worried.

Of course, there’s no need for worry.

And take it from someone who got a standing ovation,

and three adjectives compliment from Ms Cheta,

I am getting that role.

Good.

Yeah.

Can we go back to class now?

Fine.

I am getting that role.

Hey dad.

Hey kiddo.

Dad, please what’s the time?

5 pm.

Okay, thank you.

Alright.

Hey new girl.

Hey old boy.

How are you?

I’m fine.

How was school?

It was basic, yours?

I auditioned for a play.

Oh that’s good.

Uhm.. I have to go now.

Okay.

We’ll talk later.

Dad.

Amanda.

Yes dad.

You locked the door.

Yeah.

With a key?

Yeah.

Anyway why did you leave the tap running?

Oh shoot.

Come back here.

I had to turn it off.

Oh thank you dad.

You should be more careful.

I will.

Pay attention

Sorry dad, I will.

Alright.

Hey stranger.

Oh my goodness.

Eww..Mandy.

What in the name of...

'peasantry' is this?

Give it back.

No!

No Mandy.

Your parents have done enough.

They have a wicked sense of humour.

Or they are just cheap.

That too.

Look girls, leave my parents out of this.

-Okay. -No.

Why would they get you this...

-Abomination? -Abomination, that’s the word.

They didn't.

Teekay gave me this so we could talk.

Oh lord.

Oh my God K.K, I don’t know which is worse now.

Girls come on.

It's cute, and thoughtful.

Right.

Keep telling yourself that if it helps you sleep better at night.

#Delulu

Look, I don’t blame you girls.

Wait until you fall in love, then you’ll understand.

Mandy you’re in love?

Yes.

Mandy.

Who told you I haven’t already fallen in love?

God! he’s so cute.

I know right.

Giving this main character vibes and all.

Oh guys.

That's my future husband.

And watch out, we are going to be a power couple.

Us too.

Girls! snap out of your cloud nine.

Shush...you’re interrupting.

-Mandy.

-These are not trenches breed. -At all.

Allow us feed our eyes with satisfaction.

Cook bestie.

Okay!

I’m done with this.

While you guys are busy cooking, I will get back to class.

Just wait, just...

Just five more minutes.

Just five more minutes.

Mandy...

She’s gone?

Hey new girl.

Hey old boy.

So what have you been up to?

Uh nothing much.

Just out running my future Multi-million Naira business.

You always make some of us feel like we’re so lazy and basic.

Nah, you are not basic.

If there’s one thing I know is you can never be basic.

Uhm...

Please hold on.

[Shower running]

Hello.

Hi, where were we?

Well, you were about to tell me how amazing I am.

Alright, that’s right.

Hello.

Hello, are you there?

Uhm..can I call you back?

Uh..okay.

Is everything alright?

I’m not sure.

Can I call you back later?

Of course.

It's a date I guess.

Bye.

Alright bye.

It’s okay.

What happened, why are you crying?

It's my dad.

Is he okay?

Has he ever been okay?

What happened? Did he do anything to you?

What’s happening?

He hit my Mom again.

He got drunk and then he hit her so bad.

And I couldn't do anything.

I’m sorry Simi.

But it is not your place to do anything.

You are the child, they should be protecting you.

But he almost killed her.

And I couldn’t do anything.

I wish I don't have to be in that house

I wish I could just run away--

No!

You can’t run away.

How about we call the police?

No.

My mom will never forgive me.

She’s always saying I should mind my business.

I feel so scared, I feel so alone.

You’re never alone.

You don’t have to be okay.

You don’t have to be.

I am here for you okay.

If you need anything, you can count on me.

What does that mean?

I mean I’m here for you.

And you can count on me if you need anything.

I’ll always be here.
