ADEBIMPE episode 2

Adebimpe by O'nezer

Episode 2


By the beginning of the second term Adebimpe found a friend among her bullies who eventually felt it was absurd to treat Adebimpe the way they do "I know I've been one of them but I just want you to see it as my ignorance and let's be good friends if you so wish."

Adebimpe and Sophia then became good friends. Sophia was more plumpy than Adebimpe. She stood to defend Adebimpe at all times.

As they days roll by, the combination of Sophia and Adebimpe had been attracting a few crowd as the duo always walk together. Sophia was more like a fence of defense for Adebimpe.

All through the first session of school, it was a mixture of hard and rough moment for Adebimpe. It made her emotionally drained and on many occasions, she prefer to watch the fight at home than the bully in the hostel.

The session was soon over and finally Bimpe could now prepare for the next class which is Jss 2.

The holidays was a bitter ride as Adebimpe tearfully endured the drama at home. She prayed it would end someday but it seems the demon firing up her dad meant serious business.
"Is this how it has been even while I was away?" Bimpe asked her Mum.

"It never really ends even while you were away" her Mum smiled.
Bimpe stared at her Mum who now looks older than she used to be "what can calm daddy down?" but Bola her Mum was too confused to utter a word.

"I couldn't believe you were the one I saw when I came home few weeks ago. Mum, this stress is telling on you." Adebimpe complained.

With a faint smile on  her mothers face, she replied "one day, the strife will be over" and  the conversation ended there and they moved on.

All through the holiday, a day wouldn't pass by without Bimpe seeing how her dad treats her mum "I'm not sure I'll get married if this is how all men are" Adebimpe bite her lips bitterly in disappointment.

Holidays was soon over for Bimpe and it was time to go back to school. Bimpe sat by her bed thinking which is better between school and home "I don't want to go back to school and I can't stay in this house" she groaned softly.

Both home and school seems not to be an option for Bimpe because of the hardship in school and the drama at home.

Adebimpe is now Jss 2 and she felt a bit different because they now have juniors she can also bully a little.

Adebimpe and a few set of girls who are mates which includes Sophia, Nike and Jane soon formed a clique. They are four but Nike is from a Christian home and she always encouraged Bimpe that things will get better in their family.

The other three cared less about Bimpe's family. What was important to them was to explore their freedom away from home. This made Bimpe fall in between caring and nonchalant friends.

Days went by and Bimpe was in Jss3. She had a special attraction to Joke, who was in SS2 and the attraction was mutual. JK as Joke was fondly called by her mates was a lovely girl. She had all the prerequisite to be called a perfect, gentle student, but all the while it was all a lie as she possessed other secret qualities.

Being a good girl in the eyes of everyone, she had to master a perfect way to cover up for her deeds. Though her close friends knew about her acts cause they were in it together.

Bimpe had made Joke her school mother. She always goes to her for help and backup with the little bullies she still suffered.

Bimpe and Joke became really close. Joke would share her food with Bimpe and always give her whatever she demands for. It was a fun fare for Bimpe as she found a loving sister in Joke. But the table soon turned. Joke started telling Bimpe about her outings

"See, you have to be sharp and well coordinated not to be seen as a baby that they can bully anyhow" Joke counseled Bimpe.

"But how does sneaking out of school help me from being bullied?" Bimpe asked as she watched Joke and her friends pick out clothes into their back packs that evening.

What next?
