I gave a humorless chuckle “you are not serious,"
Clinton still had a straight face. There were no signs of him joking.
I turned to divine and he on the other hand was laughing uncontrollably. But it was divine everybody knew divine was a clown, we nicknamed him the ‘joker’.
I dropped my phone and looked at Clinton as I furrowed my brows.
“I know it's not true, you are just trying to have revenge for yesterday,"
The seriousness on Clinton's face intensified "why will I joke with something so serious”
I walked into the room laughing and hoping inside me that he was just pulling my leg. Clinton and divine followed me with divine still laughing.
“Jesus" I shouted, placing both my hands on my head. My sister's phone was gone. She was getting ready to leave the house when I begged her to leave her phone with me because I was hooked on the game I was playing on her phone.
I was done with the game and plugged down her phone in the room.
It was just me and my two cousins that were in the house with my female cousin denim in the boys quarters.
“Clinton be serious and bring her phone out" I said to Clinton still convinced that he was the one responsible for the missing phone.
Clinton became angry with the constant accusation and shouted at me “I have told you I am not with it, will I pull someone's leg with something this serious"
“But it is only the three of us in the house now" I said with my eyes already watery and turning red.
“Maybe we should ask for denim, maybe she came in when we didn't know" divine said, but this time he wasn't joking, not even a slight laughter.
“I am dead" I said as I was now convinced that it wasn't a revenge prank.
I went over to the boys quarters and denim was in the parlor watching TV.
“Did you come to the main house and collect my sister's phone?" I asked her.
“No"
“What happened?" Denim asked curious to know what was going on
“I can't find it" I sighed out in frustration
“Wait, I saw Emeka enter the compound.”
“Then I am sure it is him" divine said
“Who is emeka?" I was confused.
“That guy at the caravan"
I believed them because my grandfather's house was always open and people always came in looking for my grandparents and I didn't like it. Now what I feared happened.
“Let us go there now," Divine suggested.
The three of us left for the caravan while denim stayed behind.
Right from our way to the till we reached Clinton was already heated up and looked ready to wrestle anybody.
We got there and it was only the mother of the emeka that was there.
“Ask her where he is now?" Divine whispered to me.
"Good afternoon ma” I greeted her first.
"Yes, good afternoon,” she replied.
"ma please…"
“We want to buy that chocolate sweet" Clinton cut me short as he pointed to the sweets on a counter.
Divine started laughing uncontrollably and that is when I saw clearly what was going on.
After all, I was right, it was a prank. I became so angry, I almost cried and walked a long distance under the hot sun.
Clinton hung his arm around my neck and laughed too “bro don't cry, the phone is at home"
Clinton and divine made fun of me all the way back home.
I was angry but still followed them to laugh too because I was relieved that the phone wasn't stolen.
So we went home and it turned out that when I was with divine and Clinton they all planned the prank with denim on a chat group and at a point where we were engaged in an argument denim snuck in and took the phone.
At the end of the day I commended their acting and promised them it wasn't the end and I was going to get the last laugh.
The prank they played on me was the topic throughout that day, LOL.
