Early Days Of My Life – Episode 6
And lastly,
Falayo deji.
I was nervous as I heard the man calling out the names but relaxed when I saw my name wasn’t included.
Mr Adesomi: These Students, lead by olohinuha Dayo went out of the school premises yesterday without informing us.
Also,
Ogunyemi ajibola,
Falayo Deji (again),
Akintade victor and
Olayinka Fawaz
Didn’t appear in the prep class yesterday. So, we are going to show them hell this morning. If you hear your name, fall out now.
I didn’t stand up from the place I sat down because I was scared of getting up till I heard another slap on my face.
Voice: stand up mad man.
Me: what did I do?
Mr adesomi: Olayinka Fawaz, come here!
Me: sir, I didn’t do anything wrong.
Mr Adesomi: why are you not in the prep last night?
I didn’t even talk till I heard people shout that ‘he came sir’
Voice: he even sat beside me
Me: I didn’t go anywhere sir, I was in the prep class sir.
Mr Adesomi: where were you when I came in yesternight?
Me: I was in,side but I excused myself out to urinate.
Mr Adesomi: God save you! You can go!
Voice: sir, he wasn’t in the prep class yesterday o. He was hiding in there ni o!
Me: thunder fire you!, don’t use style to implicate me o. Everybody knew I was in the prep class, where u dey then?
Mr Adesomi: All excluding Fawaz should follow me now!
As they all went out, na so those crazy seniors that punished me in the morning came to me.
Senior 1: I promise you
Senior 2: I will kill you today!
Me: okay sir.
Senior1: abi were ni e ni?(Or u dey mad ni?)
I didn’t even answer them, I was just starring at their eyes.
They later went back to their table and each person that represents a table ran to carry rice for their table.
After they served us rice with fish on that thursday, I then see my friend coming closer to my table.
Me: you don craze o
Friend: na ur problem be dat. Anyway, where is my rice?
Me: which rice?

My head rang as I recollect.

I gave him three spoons out of my rice then he shouted.
Friend: shey dis one be half rice
Me: at least I gave some out. Be thankful na.
Friend: you go see ehn.
He later went away with his angry looking face which made me laugh at him.
After we all finished our breakfast, seniors came to chase us all out of the dining hall to school.
As expected, the assembly was dismissed already before we, School II boarders got to school.
*******
Our school is not mixed up tho, senior school is different from junior schools and the junior school I is different from the junior school II.
*******
I’m always feeling like a king whenever I’m going to school in the morning because no crazy Jss3 senior will tell me to pick unless he wants some lashes from the teachers. They treat all boarders differently.
So after slow walking for like 5mins, I entered the class which was about to start.
*****
Something about me in school is that, if you greet me I won’t answer but if you throw chalk or stone at me and it hits me in any part of my body, my believe is that you don greet me be that.
But if what you threw hits me in the eyes, you don enter another trouble.
All is because I’m to playful, even till now.
I don’t speak english in school, I speak yoruba even with teachers but I mix yoruba with english for a crazy teacher.
*****
I sat down on my chair waiting for those I can disturb to greet me as usual before Corper mart/isiaka(who later turn teacher in the school) enters the class with his lion face.
Class: Good morning sir
Master: have your seats
He took out a chalk out of he chalk box and moves to the blackboard.
Master: what’s today’s date?
We all chorused the date as he writes it down.
Master: we are moving to a new topic today.
He later wrote RATIO on the backboard and said we should all pronounce it, but before we even murmur a sound, I did something that made him look towards me, guess what????
I Hissed….
