BIG RESPONSIBILITY FOR CHERIE JEFFERSON
By: Yohan Emeka
-------Chapter 2-------
“Sister Cherie, I’m hungry.” Whined Jerry on reaching their house.
“You’ll eat when you get inside.” Cherie said. “There’s spaghetti, rice and…”
“Spaghetti” Jacob shouted running into the kitchen.
“Hey wait for me!!!” Jerry shouted running after his brother.
************* 3 hours later*************
“Your brothers had quite the appetite” Steph said, watching Jeff and Jacob sleep peacefully on the couch.
“Quite the appetite you say” Cherie said washing the plates. “That could swallow the whole house”
Both started laughing.
“You’re funny Cherie” Steph said in between laughs. “I can’t believe they finished two big bowls of spaghetti and left nothing for us.”
“Yeah all they do is eat and forget about everything in life” Cherie said as they cleaned up the house.
Jacob woke up as Cherie said that but didn’t show it.
“I’m so surprised that they are still slim even after such meal” Steph said still looking at the boys.
“Hey, would you quit staring at my brothers before you hypnotize them and rule the world” Cherie said jokingly.
“Yeah, watevs miss superstition” Steph said heading to the parlor and turned on the television.
“Hey another thing miss super power,” Cherie said stopping her from carrying the remote. “No TV until the whole house squeaking clean”
“Whaaat?” Steph exclaimed. “What kind of big sister are you”
“Oh common don’t be a big baby let’s go” Cherie said pulling Steph from the chair.
“Can I join you clean?”
Cherie and Steph turned to see Jacob awake.
“When did you wake up?” Steph asked.
“Just now” James lied.
“Won’t buy that but you can join us” Cherie said.
They cleaned the house for the next two hours, by then Jerry had woken up and joined them.
When they were done they got four bowls of popcorn, slumped on the couch and turned on the TV. Cherie looked at the wall clock. It read 8pm.
“Gosh It’s late we’d better go to bed.” Cherie said
“Common sister Cherie let’s stay up a little longer” Jerry said.
“But you’ll be going to school tomorrow.”
“No, today is Friday, so tomorrow is Saturday.”
“Okay then.” Letting them watch TV.
“Yesss” Jerry and Jacob said in unison.
Just then, they heard a loud thud upstairs…..
