We got to the principal's office and mum entered. They exchanged pleasantries and my mum sat down. She narrated the whole story as I had told her the previous day at home. I was standing at my mum's back and principal kept opening her mouth as mum narrated. My mama put salt, maggi with palm join the story make e sweet. And so that her next action will be justified cos she was there to announce her presence in the school premises then match straight to Senior Ope's class and give him the beating of his life...lol."Ha! Ha!" Na im principal dey talk throughout. Mum nau said "let her remove her uniform and show you her back". Princpal said "No, madam! Don't worry. I understand all you've said. I'm very sorry" "ohhhh! But I've told this students to come to me an report if any senior beats them unnecessarily" Principal lamented .
Principal realised my mum was bent on seeing the senior then she asked me "what is the name of the senior?" "I said Ope Olulaja" *I had gone to do research about the senior* "what class is he?" She asked again...I said "SS2 ma". She then told me to go to his class and tell him she wanted to see him.
I hurriedly walked out of her office and danced along as I went to SS 2A to call senior Ope. I got to his class and was disappointed; nobody was in the class. I went back to principal moody thinking "so, my mum won't be able to da seria fun senior yi*deal with this senior*. "Ma, he is not in the class" I told her in a disappointing tone. "Ask his classmates where he is?" She told me. "Nobody is in the class ma" , I replied. "Go and check their time table for the subject they have now", she instructed.
I got to the class and saw that they had Biology for that period meaning they were in the biology lab. So, I made straight to the Biology laboratory and took excuse from "Phylum Porifera"*that was what we called our Biology teacher then. "Excuse me sir, principal said I should call senior Ope Olulaja" I told. "Go and call him" he permitted. I entered the Biology class and checked everywhere only to find the NFA at the back playing with his friends". "Senior Ope! Principal is calling you" , I tapped him from behind. He turned ,smiled and said "Ehen? Hope no problem?" He questioned. I said "NO" To think he did not even recognise me again and had forgotten he drew the map of Africa on someone's bck yestrday. "Your own don done today" *I said in my mind.
We got to principal' office and I told him to go in front and open the door. He entered and my mum looked back. She just yelled "So, iwo lo n'omo mi?" meaning "So, you are the one that beat my daughter?" *He was shocked and had to look back to recognise me* "I'm sorry ma" he replied as he postrated. "Wo...sha dobale beyen tori mo ti ra egba ti maa fi ya world map si e lara" meaning "see....just stay like that cos I've bought canes that I'll use to draw the map of the world on your body".
Principal had to intervene and pleaded with mumsie to forgive him and said "ori bibe ko l'ogun ori fifo" meaning "you don't cut down a man'sw head because he has headache". She had to calm down cos senior Ope was already crying when he sighted the canes mum brought.
The duo *principa and senior Ope* pleaded with mum and begged me too to forgive him. I went back to my class to narrate the whole drama yo my friends...lol. From that day, senior Ope became calm.
