My first and only fight ever...
Still in prep class,I had this really trouble some seat mate.A girl.I don't remember her name now but she gave me hell!you know how some kids are naturally outspoken and trouble some.that's d kind of seat mate I had.so,anyway,every school day she would loosen my neatly made weaves and thread hair.every single day.she would first threaten me saying that if I resist her,she would report me to their driver(he comes to pick her up every afternoon) and he would beat me up.I was scared,so I would just surrender my head and this girl will loosen any amount she liked and always left my hair in ruins.sometimes,she even broke my hair packers.

On d drive home,my mum would complain bitterly when I tell her it was d handiwork of my seat mate. She kept re-making d hair.d girl kept loosening it.one day,when my mum couldn't take it anymore,she gave me some hot lashes of d cane,re-made d hair and told me that if I came back from school d next day with my hair undone,dis cane will be child's play compared to what she ll do to me.said she ll give me marks on my body that I ll never forget and she ll starve me for one week!

I couldn't sleep that night.I was between d devil and d deep blue sea(in my lil mind o).if I don't let dis girl loosen my braids,her driver would beat me(small pikin mind sha) and if I let her loosen my braids my mum would scar me and starve me for one week(and I no dey use my belle play o).so I made up my mind that it was better d driver beat me than my mum starve and scar me.

Next day,my mum dropped me off and at d gate,she reminded me of her threat.I walked into d class wearing my tough look.hehe.d girl as usual made for my hair but I held her hand mid-way.she threatened with their driver again and for d first time ever I called her bluff.no be small fight o.we fought for control over my hair.na that day I know say people wey get sharp mouth no get power o.I beat her up.I was victorious on d one hand cos she didn't loosen my braids so my mum won't scar and starve me but through out d remainder of that day,my mind jus dey cut cos I knew their driver would beat d living daylight out of me cos I didn't let her loosen my braids plus I beat her up.hehehe.

Anyway,after school I refused to leave d class o.I was afraid,made worse by d loud mouthed girl who started threatening fire and brimstone,saying d driver was waiting for me outside.I was just hanging around my teacher till my mum came for me.and as we were leaving,I saw d driver standing by d car.we actually passed him and he didn't even look at me a 2nd time.he was looking bored,waiting for her other siblings.that was d day I knew she had been bluffing all d while.

Needless to say that that was d last time she made an attempt on my hair.

My first day in school.
I was too big to attend a nursery school cos I didn't start schooling early.there's this class called Prep class(that's between nursery class and primary class).that's where I started.prior to that day,I had never stayed away from my mum.anyway,she drove me to school,held my hand and walked into d classroom with me.on entering d room, first thing I saw was boys and girls seated on small chairs and everyone was crying!I looked at them in surprise.different weeping tones.some high pitched,some low,some in between.most of them were saying "muuummmyyy ooooo".I just couldn't comprehend it.my mum took me to d teacher and while they were talking,I was busy looking at all d boys and girls crying.next I heard,my mum said "nne,do you want to eat biscuit?" I said yes.she said "wait for me here,lemme go buy you more biscuits and fanta,u hear"?I said ok.she left.I was standing,looking at d teacher to d left and d crying boys and girls to my right.
After a while,d teacher asked me to sit (in front) with d crying people,as I wait for my mum to bring my biscuits and fanta.I was reluctant,she then stood up and led me to my seat.I sat down and to my right,left and back,they were all crying.I was still looking around,when suddenly it occured to me that my mum had been gone for a long while.
I started missing her,shortly after,my eyes welled with tears.the first set of tears dropped,then I opened my mouth and started wailing.
Needless to say that I joined d "muuuuummmmyyYyy ooooooo" chorus.
By d time she came for me in d afternoon,choi!I don cry tire!!
