PART 21 PÈMÍSÍRE”

I got into the place I got to understand was called a “ Classroom”. I saw a lot of colors on the wall. I didn’t like the multiple colors flashing at me. Numbers 1-10 were hung on the wall on different coloured cut out cardboards.
I loved only one colour, White, though I didn’t hate the other colors but I couldn’t deal with the multiple colors flashing at me.
I bowed my head to avoid the flashing lights…
“ Hey, boy… you are not a baby and don’t expect me to be like your mother who has to run round the school in the name of making you happy… You are not a god that I have to worship… God! What kind of nonsense is this? Why will they bring this monster to my class.. to think that I have been praying for a child, will this “ebora” (strange being) not be used by the devil against me…” the teacher said loudly
The scenario changed: the world appeared to me in the best way I understood…
My teacher became a fierce looking dog barking at me…
“Recite 1-10” She barked at the little lion cub I was.
Reciting numbers 1-10 was not a big deal for me, because despite not attending school, I always paid attention to Emeka’s lesson teacher… I knew it was , “ won, tu, tri, for, fife, sis, sefun, hate, nin, ten..”.
That was the recitation I had memorized from eavesdropping.
If my “dog” teacher was not barking, maybe I might have impressed her with my recitation but her bark made whatever I knew in my head to disappear.
“ Simple 1-10, you don’t know… raise your head, when I am talking to you”
I didn’t want to raise my head. The colored flashing lights would get into my eyes..
“ I knew it… I knew strange beings like you are always disobedient, strong willed but listen I won’t be sacked because of you. You will leave my class…”
I saw the dog charging towards me with a long stick. Fear gripped my heart and as a way of defending myself I ran out of the class crying…
The teacher instead of coming after me, dashed off to the Headmistress’s office… The headmistress came out and saw me standing under the tree that sat in the middle of school… The headmistress approached me… As she walked towards me, I saw who she was; a BIG Elephant. As she walked towards me, I felt the shaking of the earth under us…
“ Hey… What is wrong?”
PART 22 PÈMÍSÍRE”

( ABIGAIL’S ANGLE)
I didn’t feel as happy as I thought I would be. Sitting at the bus stop where I fried my bean cake, my mind kept travelling towards Pemisire..
“ Pemisire is fine! Abigail calm down. God is with him” I tried as much as possible to calm myself down
Suddenly, like someone under a very strong influence, I jumped up and packed all the beancakes I had fried for sale. I closed for the day. I needed to be with Pemisire immediately.
*************** “ What is wrong?” The elephant asked the Baby cub.
The baby cub didn’t know if she would understand his slurry baby language. How was he going to explain that the teacher was barking at him. In other to avoid problems, he kept quiet…
“ Can’t you talk? I thought your mother said you could talk… So answer me. What is wrong? Why did you run out of class…” The headmistress’ elephantine voice was blaring loud in my ears.
The loud voices of both she and my class teacher ; that is the barking of a dog and the trumpeting of the elephant was about to squeeze life out of me. I started breathing hard, it felt like I was under water. I felt like they were burying my head underwater. I felt like I was going to die any minute. I started behaving very erratic which was a response of me trying to find air…
“What is happening here?” I heard Mama’s voice. I saw my mother Lioness growl at them…
************* (ABIGAIL’S ANGLE)
“ Oh madam, nothing … Your son ran out of the classroom to stay here, so I had to call the headmistress to come speak with him” The teacher said to me.
“ Speak with Him or shout on him!” I replied
“Madam, no way, why would we shout on a new student, especially someone like him!” The headmistress said trying to defend she and her staff
“ Someone like Him?” I asked with a stern face
“ Em… I mean …” the headmistress stuttered
“ Headmistress, will my son be judged and maltreated in the school because of his look?” I asked firmly
“ No madam… as long as he cooperates with us, he may turn out our best student ever…” the headmistress said hypocritically
“ Exactly, But I also need to say that you all need to cooperate with him, I believe he won’t be the first child who runs out of class on the first day of School. As good educators, I should not be teaching you that Most children do not cope easily with a change of environment and new faces. I believe a well read and trained teacher has to look for ways to make such a child relax and adapt to the new faces and environment. “ I said authoritatively as I needed to let them know my son was not someone they were going to trample underfoot.
“Unless your school is not capable of handling different types of students. If that is the case, I won’t hesitate to withdraw my son and go to the media to ask people to recommend good schools that have better and well-trained teachers unlike your school” I threatened
“ Madammmmm! That won’t be necessary…Our school is very capable, we will bring out the best in your son.. Give us the benefit of doubt. Mrs Arole will take care of Him better” the headmistress said quickly as she understood what bad publicity could do to their school.
**************** (PEMISIRE’S ANGLE)
“ Pemisire darling… I am sorry if I was harsh on you… come over… You like to play games, games you will play” Said the teacher
I didn’t know whether to believe her but something was sure… As young as I was I understood that My mother was a gift to me. God had sent her ahead as a waymaker for me…
