•JESUGBEMI•

"Gbemi, carry that bag with the two straps or else if it cuts, I won't get you a new one oh" My mum shouted for the third time this morning and I rolled my eyes in annoyance. She's shouting as if it's my fault that Dad told her to drop me off in school before going to work, She has been spitting fire since.

"Esther, avoid everyone in your room okay? You've survived from your JSS one till date without having any friend. Please continue like that." My dad said again and I almost rolled my eyes.

What's wrong with this man now?

My mum pulled out of our parking lot before driving out of the compound with my dad waving at us till we could no longer see him. Surprisingly, my mom was quiet all through the ride and I almost thought something was bothering her but this was mom, the weirdest human on earth.

"Jesugbemi, why are you staring at me like sardine fish, shey mo je baba e lowo ni?"My mum asked and I turned my gaze away from her. This woman can frustrate somebody.  [Trans: did I owe your father money?]

"When we get to your school, I will go akd meet your class teacher. Shebi she's the one that laziness want to kill that now employ one senior to come and kill you for me. Wait first shey your head boy is in the same class with that girl abi is that why she want to kill you?" My mum asked and I nodded. She hit the steering and she hissed.

My mom honked at the big black gate of BHS and baba Kamali threw the gates open. She drove in and she didn't even wait for identification before speeding down the road. They were probably going to stop her when she's coming back and that time, they will try to insult her.

She parked her car near the staffroom before coming down. I prayed hard that mum doesn't over insult Mrs Olagoke before that woman hates me, I know what mom's mouth is capable of doing.

"Good afternoon, please we are here to see Mrs Olagoke" Mum greeted Mr. Osunbitan who raised his head and adjusted his glasses before spreading out his hands to indicate he didn't know where she was.

She pulled me out of the class and she told me to take her to the second staffroom. We saw Mrs Olagoke coming towards us and I pinched my mum to tell her.

"Gbemi, Is this your teacher that's walking like kwashiorkor patient? No wonder she's not capable of looking after her own class" My mum hissed under her breath and I choked on my laughter.

"Ha class captain, how are you my dear? Gbemi this is your mummy abi, she's so fine. Where did they now see you from, see as your mummy is looking like angel? Mummy good afternoon ma" Mrs Olagoke gushed as soon as she got to us and mum snorted before smiling at her.

Dustbin ma, they saw me inside dustbin. Mtchew

"Good afternoon ma, Hope the girl has been sent home and you won't send seniors to supervise them again because this time, I will sue the school authority ni oh" My mum threatened and Mrs Olagoke smiled before shaking her head to indicate no.

"Mummy let me call my friends to help me carry my load from the car to the hostel" I begged and Mum hissed before squeezing some N500 notes inside Mrs Olagoke's hand and she started thanking my mom who waved her off.

Egunje don spoil Lagos.

I walked into the class and everyone started greeting me and my mom, including those that we haven't talked before in my life. Crystal rushed to hug before spinning me around to check for whatever she's looking for. She greeted my mom who nodded and The rest of the girls walked up to us soon.

"Gbemi, all this welcome party that you're doing is not for me, come and carry your load from the booth unless I will dump it there for you" She hissed and I pulled her out of the class with the girls trailing behind us.

"Gbemi, that's the boy abi? See the way he's looking like he wants to thief you and go. Shey they didn't tell him how rude it is to stare at people ni?" My mum said when we passed SS3 block and I turned to look at the back, Senior Dunmininu was leaning on the doorpost of his class and he was staring at us truly.

This boy doesn't know Iya Gbemi, she will embarrass you ehn.

When we got to her car, she off-loaded my things and she kissed my forehead before giving me 3k to share for my friends and I passed it to crystal, they all thanked her. She gave me 2k and she walked back to the driver seat. She beckoned for me to come and I got into the front seat.

"Gbemi, these girls don't like you. Even a blind man can tell because all this eye service is dangerous oh. Better watch your back and sleep with your eyes open" She advised and I nodded my head.
