You know my name, but not my story.

Jaiyeola's P. O. V

Today was Tuesday and it was already closing time, it's time for me to call Stella but I'm upset with her, can you imagine she wrote my name along with the names of students to be chosen as the new time keeper.

I mean I'm new here, Although I'm already talking to the Junior students especially those in JSSS3 because Deborah told all her friends of how nice I am, but still I can't compete with Halimah and Cynthia and the commercial class prefect.

Okay, I get that I'm intelligent but still that is not how it works.

I went to take my school bag when I saw Cynthia and her stupid friends, well they were all making fun of that Anita girl.

But it's not my business so I just picked my bag and I was about to walk out when Cynthia gave the girl a hot slap.

Wait wait wait... What?
Azin what!?
This girl is our classmate, I don't want to interfere but if I act like It is not my business am I being a good person.

And interfering will get me into trouble, but I can't just stand here and watch her give this innocent girl, hot slaps.

So I walked there boldly and held Cynthia's hand as she was about to give Anita another hot slap.

"Are you mad!"
She screamed in my face, somehow I don't like talking to this girl remember the saying
'Never argue with a fool. Onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.'
In the sense that arguing with her means I'm no difference from her.

So I just pulled Anita behind, she can face me if she has the strength to do so, after spending six hard years alone from home in a Taekwondo School one idiot would stand up at me... But I really don't mind treating their fuck up.

That was when the idiot gripped unto my shirt.
Which was a sign that she wants fight, I swear I don't want to fight but if that is the only way I can treat her fuck up, I really don't mind.

"Leave my collar." I said looking into her eyes angrily, making every word stand out.

"What will you do? "
I hate that question.
and her stupid, friends were giggling,
"You are messing with the wrong person... I don't take sorry's for after fights." I replied to her annoying question.

"Let me see you try." She replied pushing me to the wall.

This girl is really testing me.

So right now she gripped on to my collar, and pressed me to the wall.
Must she always bully, must she look for trouble ?
I asked myself

So I just pulled her hand away from my collar, but the idiot kept trying to hold on back to my clothes.

Everyone knows that I really don't want to fight, and I don't want to hurt anyone, if there's anything I've learnt from Taekwondo lessons, it is that you 'Hold the door in Kindness but do not be dormant in submission. However Taekwondo is not for evil practices or hurting the peace and people, it is for defending and saving the peace and people.'

So that's exactly why, I had to go through classes that would always help me, not to loose my temper, so I won't always hurt people...
And yes at times I have a bad temper, but I've learnt how to control it...

And this idiot over here wants me to loose it even though I really don't want to fight.
"For the last time!, leave my clothes! " I said that word for word again so she can be sure that I'm not kidding.

Anyways the saying goes 'a word is enough for the wise.'

It was either I did it the easy way or JJ's way.

I stamped her feet hard pressing it into the floor, I hope her toes don't break.
She started to jump up making loud.
"yeehh yeehh !"
But the idiot still did not leave my clothes, she aimed a blow at my eyes, which was really not a wise move because I grabbed her stupid, over soft fingers... In fact I'm not sure she does any work at home, if you see the way her fingers were neat ehn...

So I twisted her fingers and pushed her to the floor.
I must say, her stupid friends are cowards.

I picked my school bag and dragged Anita out of the class...
And I stopped immediately Cynthia said something.

"No wonder you don't respect your Mom, you think you can boss people around, You think you are some goddess."

Then I realized, fighting with her, means I'm no difference from her...
I could have called a teacher, or reported Cynthia to the vice Principal, instead of interfering.

Is what I did wrong?
Did I misuse Taekwondo?

I just walked out.
"Thank you so much." Anita uttered.
She's the one that got me into this mess, can't she stand up for herself?, doesn't she have a tiny little self esteem and confidence.

"By the way, what really caused the fight?"
I asked looking worried, not worried about her.
But about what I did..
Hope I did not do wrong by helping her, she should be able to stand up for herself, there's not always an hero in every story, I can't always save her, she has to learn to stand up for herself.

We are the same age, we are all mates, she's no younger than Cynthia.

"Well, She found her missing note in my bag, even though I don't know how it got there, I tried explaining to her, I even said sorry for what I did not do but she started hitting me ."
She replied looking very sad, I know it is not the time to ask her questions about her self esteem... But right now I'm regretting I interfered in their fight.

"But can't you always, beat her back. "
I replied before noticing that Anita is very slender.

I haven't really spoken to her that much, so I could not really notice her height or weight
But she's very slender.

Too skinny, but still very pretty even though she had acne all over her face...

She's from a rich family but some how she doesn't always look as if she is well taken care of.
Or can't she take care of herself ?

"Trust me I can, even though she is fatter than me I can handle her."
She replied giggling.

I don't find it funny... No someone should tell me what is funny.
Are this girls normal sha ?

"So why then are you not doing your own back!" I asked looking very furious, it looks like some kind of joke to her.

"Because I can't... Because I don't have the heart to do so... And because I don't want to get into trouble."

Can someone please explain the jaganz that this girl is telling me...
(nonsense)

Nobody is going to beat you for standing up for yourself

So what is the trouble in that?... Heart biti bawo?

(heart as in how?)

Are you Jesus ni ?
Sorry oo... Holy Mary.
You don't have the heart to do wethin?... After receiving continous hot slaps.

(wethin: what)

"Who will beat you for defending yourself?" I asked looking very furious and I have never been so curious to hear what someone has to say.

"You can't understand." She said as her small smile faded away and she was now serious.

"Why can't I understand, did they threaten you?"
I looked more curious now, I feel like slapping her to her right senses.

How can my classmate slap me and I will open my mouth to say that I don't have the heart to slap my own back... I will slap your destiny join...

"Well, you are aware that Cynthia is my step sister and If I lay a finger on her, she will report me to her mom and that is the end of me coming to RHS, thanks for helping me, but you are making me look like an idiot... You are not the one that will be punished."

I don't understand why she's angry oo, I'm the one who is supposed to be angry.

So Cynthia is her sister, no wonder she was always bossy, and I didn't know her surname if not I might have found out.

Okay so Faith and Cynthia are even living in the same estate...
We learn different things everyday.

"I did not know... Look I'm sorry, if I sounded brusque."
I said apologizing, even though I did not know why I was apologizing.

"It's okay, after all that's how God wants it to be... The guys may think I'm gullible but I know what I'm doing."

She said as we approached the stairs going downstairs.
She adjusted her school bag and continued what she was saying.

"... All of them think I'm weak and gullible but what they don't understand is that everyone has a story to tell, you can easily know my name but not my story."

I processed what she said, and for the first time she looked so serious.

The girl that always smiled even when teachers insulted her was now looking sad, it was as if she was holding the tears back.

I know I also have a story but I really pity her, whatever Cynthia is doing is not right and I'm glad I stood up for her.

"But who do you think placed her book in your bag, or how on earth did her book get in your bag?... And how did she even know that it is in your bag. "
I asked, with curiosity fixed in my tone.

"Well I suspected Margaret before but I think it is Halimah... These days she has always been after me, and I don't know what I did for her."

She said clapping her hands together.

Halimah the girl that is always finding faults in me, but I wonder why she is after Anita.

Well it is none of my business
"Anyways just stay away from Cynthia and her friends. "
I replied patting her back as we got downstairs.

"That's the problem, Halimah thinks I like Hassan, well just because we are close friends... I'm trying my best to stay away from him, but you know the boys in our class... I think switching seats might help. "
She replied looking worried, just then I remembered she was seating with Hassan, the nice guy that is also the Science class prefect... I've also be avoiding him, a friend of an enemy is an enemy too, but in this case... I'm only trying to avoid unnecessary problems.

"I understand."
I said still processing what Anita said, but who knew Anita was smart, and why doesn't she speak and mix well with the others?

The guys don't like her, I'm not saying they like me... And I've only spoken to a few of them, but they all insult and ignore her.

They all think she's gullible.

"But why don't you always speak in class, you don't contribute to anything."
Yes I know I'm asking too much questions but that's what I do whenever I want to advise someone.

"I'm not really intelligent and I don't want the guys to make fun of me, so I rather seat at back and be quiet... And some teachers don't like me especially Miss Rose, I mean she dislikes almost all the female students, but it is always as if I'm number one."
She replied giggling at the last sentence, when she laughs I always remember the saying 'You are sad or happy, joyful or Sorrowful , always have a smile on your face... Because some stories are worst than yours.'

She is right we all have our Story, I have my story, a lot of people want to know but I don't want to tell, I don't want to go down Memory Lane... I'm tired of people calling me weird, all my friends have told me to leave my past behind my happiness... Well even though they don't know my story.

You want to know?,
I promise I shall tell....
