On a pitch inside the school,8 boys were playing football with bricks as their pole.
They started right after closing.
It was a four vs four game.
One of the boys has being dribbling the other team all by himself and he did it with so much ease that whenever he gets the ball no one wanted to be the the one to tackle him.
Kwabena has been soaked with sweat after being dribbled like 15 to 20 times in 2 minutes.
His school uniform was glued to his body which made him uncomfortable.
He was breathing heavily as if he been deprived of air for about 50 seconds.
He had not got a touch on the ball since they started playing five minutes ago as he was the one tasked with defending the opponent's best player, Prince.
Prince was nicknamed the Ghanaian Messi in school because of his explosive dribbling abilities.
Kwabena cursed under his breath when they finished the game.
He had never ever cursed in his life until today because he just couldn't help it.
It was a 3:2 win to the opponent.
Why?
Because they were defending with all their might and were also clinical in their counter attacks.
By the end of the game, all of Kwabena's teammates were all sweating.
He bid his friends goodbye and walked out of the school.
He would have been in his Grandfather's car by now,relaxing on the seats until he's been driven home but look at him now,having to walk 15 to 30 minutes to the station everyday.
As they say, you don't know what you have until you lose it.
Mate,I will alight here.
Kwabena said when he got to his destination.
He actually passed by his real destination seconds ago, because he saw one of his mother's friends there and he didn't want to greet them so he did decided to take the next route to his house.
When he alighted from the trotro he took off to his feet as he did not want to see another one of his mother's friends because anything is possible nowadays.
He did not want complains like "Kwabena saw me but he didn't greet me to" his mother.
His dear mother will be like, so you want to disgrace me eeh,you want everyone to point hands on me right?
There were days when he wanted to retort even if it was in his mind but after remembering the words of the Bible and not wanting to end in hell, he will secretly shake his head and delete all the words forming in his mind.
On his way home,he bought three eggs and a 3 Ghana cedis bread which he would use to make fried eggs for himself.
Fun fact is that fried eggs is one of the two foods he could actually cook.
Well, the other good is indomie.
The moment he got to his bedroom, he removed his sweat soaked and smelling uniform.
The scent was unbearable.
He first went to take a shower before coming back to lye on his bed which was as rare as butterflies these days.
He usually bathes once a day, sometimes twice but even then, the second bathe would be just before he sleeps.
He went through his phone, specifically facebook/match corner until his free daily Facebook bundle was used.
It was then that he remembered that he was hungry.
So he got of his comfort zone which is his bed,washed of his dandelions,sprinkled it on his cracked eggs, mixed it well and after that sprinkled a little salt on it before he stirred it again.
He did not even use onoins because according to him,adding onions is a waste of time as the taste is the same whether you add it or not.
