I stood alas on my strong feet as they could carry,,, I looked at them as they laughed out their worst laughter,,,they were all there,, Peter, James, Willie, Jacob, Simon and Jackson. I shook in my trousers I felt like I am growing slimmer each passing second. Not because I feared them but because I feared what they were going to say about my looks that day,,,, the last time it was worse,,,, what if that day it was going to be much worser.
"Hello,,, Peter I am around" I whispered on my phone,,,,,"where are you?" Peter asked so intensive as he stretched his fat neck,,,,"oh,, there you are!!,,Levi we are here!!" "Peter no need to shout I already seen you " I said annoyingly as I saw him waving his hand at me.
You know what was much annoying,,,, everyone at the table looked straight at me in silence,,,,, there silence terrified me it made me go buzz,,,,, I didn't understand why they were looking at me like that,,,, everything around went absolutely silent as well I felt like everyone was seemingly glaring at me just as my friends. My legs leveled from being numb and became so flex that I started moving towards them I don't know how but I moved.
"Did someone tell our friend here that we were going for a HR convention" that was Jacob with all his stupid idea,,,, everyone hesitated before they blew up into a mighty laugh,,,,"oh come on,,, you people think this is knew to me." I said confidently loud as if that was what I was expecting from them that day," you mocking me is part of my livelihood,,,, anyway I have come to feed my stomach and mind you I am not paying the bills again" I said as I pulled my chair to sit,,,it was next to Peter,,,who couldn't see himself laugh at me with the others.
"Nice sewing my friend,,huh," Peter whispered at my ear annoyingly, I couldn't believe he already noticed my trouser sown. "Do you think they saw that?" "Yes I saw that," James as sensitive as he was already heard what I and Peter were talking about all the way from the other side of the table. "What did you see?" Jackson asked vividly as he waited to laugh to the answer. " Nothing " Peter saved the moment, "even if you don't say I already know it is Levi here " Jackson replied to tease me," me again,,, actually they were talking about how baldy you are growing " I teased him back making everyone look right at his forehead which was growing big, at least I made somebody get laughed at.
"Okay,, okay let's order something to eat" Peter said calming everyone. Those guys ordered some things which I have never heard of,,,,, "do you have macaroni,,,, and Pizza with spaghetti and hot dog cut on it" that was Simon with his 'twenging' voice.
"And you?" The waiter reversed my mind which was about to lull from what my friends were ordering,,,,"okay give me chapati with beans and 'black current' soda." " Whaaaaat!!" Everyone exclaimed at the table, "whaaaaat " I exclaimed my what back."come on guy you like bringing shame to yourself,,,,, people we are getting beautiful things on this table and you are bringing chapati and beans " Jacob said stretching his voice on every syllable, "baaana bro rada " Willie seconded, the first time to speak actually since I arrived there," Kwani hizo staff haziko huko kwa mavibandaski msee hapa tumekuja kukula mapilau na ma sausage hizo ni gani unaitisha," I would have translated for you that one but it is a shame for me to help you laugh at me.
"Guys,,, guys that is his order what is your problem," Peter remained to be the best friend I had," thank you my friend " "you are welcomed" we blushed at each other in the moment,,,,"do you guys want to marry each other?" Simon asked raising his glass of macaroni pointing at us,,,,"get out,,,,,who will do who " Jacob said laughing out loud, "please guys will you let me eat my stewed snails in peace or what?" James pondered our appetite completely that evening,,,,it began with Jacob. No one seemed to be eating,,, because who does that,,,who eats snails in Kenya ughh.
"I think I need to go " "me too " Jacob and Jackson said simultaneously. "What,, it's too early " Peter said astonished. "Nope I need to go and see my woman guys " Jacob said wiping his hands with a white towels put in front of each and everyone of us at the table. "You mean your sugar mummy!?" James said with a soft chuckle as he continued to enjoy his 'snails'. "What!! Sugar mummy!?" I exclaimed wheely looking at Peter, "don't look at him he has one too" Simon said pointing his macaroni again at Peter, "whaaaaat,,,," that took me by surprise,,, I was walking with Ben 10s and I didn't know, "you too" I turned back at Simon,," Me,,,hell no I've got my man" he said sucking a big loud sip of his macaroni."that's worse than the rest" "I know,,,,they don't like taking the risk."
"Tell you what,,,,, I could never do what you guys are doing never" everyone looked at me for about three seconds and after at the fourth bursted into another yucky laughter. "Our dear friend,,, how do you think we survive in this town" Jacob asked leaning in front at the table his hands on top of the table,, his terrible brown eyes directly at mine. "But you have your rich parents or what am I missing here,,,,,,, Jacob your father is a politician a great influence to this country, James your father is the minister of tourism, Willie your parents are in Germany even though I don't know where you learnt sheng', Jackson your brother is in the army,, what about you Simon,,,, your mother is the heart healer,,,,,, I don't know what they call them and Peter my best friend,,, your father is a pilot,,,,, what do you lack." "That is their money we are looking for ours " Jacob answered raising his voice simultaneously with him hand hitting the table vigorously,,,,,"but there are better ways of doing it " I whispered lowering my head to the table so that people may not think we are quarrelling,,,,,"Hey Leviticus,,,, first of all my mother is not a heart healer she is a cardiologist,,,, and secondly this is our best way of doing it,,,,,,, thirdly I love my man" Simon said as unconcerned as possible sipping his last sip of his macaroni.
"You guys I told you I don't like this guy in our company,,,,,,,he is trying to be the thirteenth disciples of Jesus and in that is not even good at,,,, I am going to see my Mary " Jackson said arising from his chair taking his bag. "And who is Mary?" I asked astonished,, "my big baby of course,,,,,,she is coming to take me in his Roy Royce" "Mary was the mother of Jesus in the bible" I said jiggling looking at Peter who was finishing up his food,,,,"no matter what you say you are not going to ruin the fun for me okay church boy" Jackson said right on his feet, "and Peter tell this angel Leviticus that if he wants to roll with us then he must do what we do so that he doesn't become a little judging fly playing with poop like others."
