STELLA
Must you stare she says angrily to the obviously staring
security personnel while she tends to her leg
KATE
Who? she ask surprisingly as she looks around to
see who Stella …
STELLA
Like am the fattest girl you’ve ever seen on heels she gets frees from Kate who was holding her,
limp’s to the direction of the car park, she stops to take off the shoes and
limps less with a murmuring face
Meanwhile the guy she was actually accusing just
shakes his head and walks off,
Uduak scratches her head out of embarrassment and
tries to make a distance like she doesn’t know her
Cynthia just shrug’s her shoulders at Kate as they
move on
They all get into the car with Stella waiting for
them
Uduak is really pissed off as she sighs and looks
away
Cynthia is lost
Kate gets understanding as usual
KATE
Ella, the best outfit a lady could ever wear is her
confidence, that really wasn’t necessary babe, you and I know that guy wasn’t
the reason why you slipped she says in a calm voice you
shouldn’t…she raises her voice a little as Stella cuts in
STELLA
You’re not the fat one here so I do not expect you
to understand, now if you would allow me I really don’t want to talk about this
please she starts the car tears ran down her cheeks
UDUAK
When is there not a need to talk about it? Kate
gives her a side look to keep quite Stella you embarrassed us all, the
guy didn’t even blink, everyone just stared like you were crazy
STELLA
Fine I’m sorry okay, I know I messed up big time,
and am sorry
UDUAK
Well its not okay to be sorry, this is not the 1st
2nd or 3rd time, it’s not gonna be the last Kate
tries to calm her down Stella work on it, I bet the next embarrassment
is gonna be she checks her watch in 30, buckle up ladies
STELLA
Now that’s enough, do not take this as an avenue to
insult me. Thank you with that she moves the car
KATE
Uduak dear take it easy, she slipped, anyone could
have slipped, the best we could do right now is not make it worse than it is

UDUAK
And he had the nerves to deny it, I was damn clear
on what I saw she continues to ride
KATE
If you ask me I’ll say you give him another chance,
we all make mistakes you know, you don’t judge people by their mistakes else
we’ll never love for the right reasons
UDUAK
That’s no mistake, that’s a habit and am not
contending with that anymore, he keeps doing that, embarrassing me and I don’t
like it
KATE
Hold your horses lady… she slows down don’t jump
into conclusions else you might regret it, you’ve only been dating for just a
few months, you can only consider a break
up with a repeat of certain traces of attitude you can’t deal with and
from what I understand he’s been a good boy
UDUAK
You keep seeing the good in everyone Kate, am not
like you, I see the bad she takes the a long break, just when Kate
is about to say something, she cuts her and the good she
winks and continues riding
KATE
she continues that’s not the worst thing that could happen
in a relationship, trust me; I know she raises her finger to show the engagement
ring …seriously girl, you need some tutoring
UDUAK
I love your pain referring to the ring, gives her
a look anyway, nobody prays for a dead end, I mean, all this time and I
couldn’t get a commitment out of him so why waste my life when they are plenty Kate
looks at the direction to see a guy she was hitting on and rolls her eyes
KATE
Please give me a break. meanwhile Stella has been running on a
really low pace and at same time checking on her phone Stella shocked she gets
down from her and stands in front of Stella’s what are you doing??
STELLA
Smilling to herself and not taking her eyes off the
phone. she picks a bar of chocolate into her mouth
KATE
You’re so pathetic Stella she increases the pace on the
machine
and Stella doesn’t even notice she is going faster,
she just rolls with it
STELLA
I know she smiles into her phone
KATE
You really need help, you’ll die trying to find what
you looking for through that path
STELLA
Don’t care still on her phone
Kate increases the speed again but this time Stella
notices as her eyes go wide Kate she calls in fear
Kate just gives a victory scream as others just
stare
Uduak laughs
Stella tries to keep up with the speed in fear
soon people start to clap
she’s almost crying out of shame and faint
