Yemisi's Dilemma: Unmasking the Class Bully's Demise

Chapter 4

~Yemisi~

"Yemisi! Yemisi! Yemisi!" my mum called.

"E melo ni mo pe e? (How many times did I call you?)" my mum asked

"Meta (three)" I replied

"What did I tell you on Monday Yemisi?" my mum asked

She was really mad at me. I couldn't blame her though. "Not to pick fights" I replied

"And what did you do?" she asked

"The exact opposite" I replied

"Iwo gan mo(You know)" my mum said

"Yemisi, today is just Wednesday and you are bringing bad report. You've not even spent up to a week in the school. First, it's loitering about on the first day of school" my mum continued

"Mummy, no o" I said. "That one is not true. All these things are caused by the girl I fought with" I continued.
"And besides I only gave her one slap" I continued showing one of my fingers to emphasize the point. "And the school said I fought" I finished

"That school gan use to exaggerate" I added

"Hmmm" my mum scoffed at me dusting her palms the official Nigerian way

"And you are still defending yourself. Yemisi, nkan ti o da o da (What is bad is bad)" my mum said

"I don't even know why we are having this conversation. I am going to punish you" my mum continued

"Mummy naa" I pouted

"Don't mummy naa me anything, you are going to that school tomorrow and apologizing to that girl" my mum announced her judgement

My head first spark. Mummy why na. Of all punishments to give pesin.

"Mummy can't you change it?" I suggested

"Okay" she said. "Do it on the assembly tomorrow morning" my mum said smiling

"Mummy don't worry. Don't change it again" I said shaking my head to signify "no"

"Sha bota fun mi ko lo jeun(Just get out and go and eat)" my mum said shooing me away from her room

I stood up and left for the dining room.

I met my brother settling quietly with his meal. He was fighting with his chicken. He dropped it when he noticed me and asked "So how did your talk with mummy go?"

"Awful, I have to apologize tomorrow" I said looking at the plate of food before me.

The thought of apologizing even made me lose my appetite.

"So what did she do again today apart from yesterday's pouring of food on your body" he asked

"Do you like taking showers in school?" I asked

"No, God forbid" he replied

"Well I did today, because our class queen bee pushed me to the mud" I said.

"My poor hair was a mess" I continued playfully crying

"So you slapped her?" he asked
"Eh na" I replied. "You know, that slap shocked everybody. Like nobody expected me to slap her" I continued

"Heard she is a Bailey and she bullies people she doesn't like. The school also respects her like she is a goddess" he told me

"Bailey as in the famous entrepreneur?" I asked Kayode

"Hmm" he replied

"Wo gbogbo iyen o kan mi (All those things is of no concern to me)" I said before eating the food I claimed I had no appetite for.
