Wonder’s POV ?

OMG, it seems the guy that was hit has fainted, just hope he’s not dead.

*

Well he deserved it, cos he has been pestering Johnbull since he came to the class.

*

They quickly rushed the boy to the school’s clinic – later I found out his name was Mike.

*

“So Deborah, what are they going to do to Johnbull then?” I asked her after the incidence.

*

“I don’t know, maybe he’ll be kept in the school cell, just hope Mike is not dead”.

*

“School cell” I pondered, so there is something like that in this school, no wonder everyone seem to be mean.

*

“Are you okay Wonder?” Deborah asked, bringing me back from my thoughts.

*

“Yeah I’m good”.

*

“I think we should go out for lunch” I continued.

*

*

*

Johnbull’s POV ?

I’ve never being so scared like this before, just common hitting, Mike fainted ??

*

I just hope he is not dead.

*

Ewoo my mother go kill me now.

*

“Johnbull, why you no dey hear word”I asked myself.

*

At home ?

*

“Johnbull, wetin I hear sey happen?” My mom welcomed me with that statement ?

*

“Uhmm, mama, it’s not what you think, I just enter class, he con dey insult me, so I slapped him. But h I didn’t know sey the slap too much” I replied, fidgeting at the same time.

*

“You know what just go inside” my mom commanded.

*

“Abeg mama, no allow me make I go inside, I fit faint oo” I cried.

*

If my mom beats me this time around, I may not survive it. Cos my back is still aching me.

*

While trying to think, a slap from nowhere just landed on my face, my ears went deaf instantly.

You know that kind of sound your ears would produce, when something hard hits it.

That’s what happened to my ear

*

“No be you I talk sey go inside, or you want make I injure you” my mom continued in pigin.

*

I couldn’t hear clearly, all I was hearing was “whirrrrrrrrr”

*

*

*

In the evening

*

That particular afternoon, I received beating like always. Hmmm, abeg I no wan talk again.

*

“Come to think of it, why I am stubborn sef” I asked myself. Everytime from one wahala to the other.

*

“Johnbull!!” My mom called

*

“Ma” I answered soberly, I just want to be gentle.

*

“I called you here to ask you some questions, why are stubborn sef?”

*

“Even me don’t know, I’ve asked myself several times, buh no answer.”

*

“Was my dad stubborn?” I asked my mom.

*

She began to sniff. Oh shit!! I’ve brought back old memories

*

“I’m sorry mama, I didn’t mean to do that”

*

“It’s okie my son. Your dad was gentle, buh can be stubborn for his family. Few years after you were born, he was attacked on his way home and killed in cold blood” she said in tears.

*

I’ve never seen my mom like this before.

“I’m sorry mama” I said and patted her back.

*

“Mama I promise not to be stubborn anymore” I continued.

*

“Hmm, you know that’s how you’ve promised several times, buh you still keep doing it”

*

African moms can change instantly, she may be crying buh once she remembers about your bad behavior, she can beat you for anything.

*

I’ve learnt something from my mom, which is “never be shirtless near my mom”

Cos when her hands land on your back, you would never remain the same.

*

*

*

Mama Mike’s POV ?

I instantly ran to the hospital the minute I was informed about my son. Hmm I’m going to kill this Johnbull when my son is well.

*

“Doctor, how is my son?” I asked immediately I reached there.

*

“He is fine, you can come into his ward” the doctor responded

*

While we went there, the doctor checked Mike’s eyes and some other things.

*

Suddenly the breathing machine stopped, the doctor and nurses tried bringing back my son.

*

“I’m sorry madam but we’ve lost him”

*
