Wacha wazee wakumbuke, u remember primary school days kulikuwa na 1st body, 2nd body etc etc kulingana na nguvu ya kuchapana. Primo yetu 1st body alikuwa anaitwa Rav4 as in short for Rapha or Raphael. He was luhya kastunya. Everybody feared him after kucheki mengo yake na msee alikuwa Std.8 wakati Rav4 alikuwa Std. 6.
Rav4 angetupata kwa canteen pushing and shoving to buy snacks and he would just tap one of us kwa mgongo and shout RAV4 ako area and all of a sudden like the red sea ile ya Moses tunamfungulia njia.
2nd body alikuwa msee whose dad was in the Army. jina yake ilikuwa Adam…a kamba dude lakini wale wamekauka mwili. He used to be involved in many fights to defend his 2nd body ranking and won all of them but he never ever wanted to fight Rav4.
3rd body ilikuwa slot occupied by over 5kids who would change positions every time one won or lost a fight. Position yangu ilikuwa kule---------------------------->unknown coz i was a spectator and one of the kids who used to incite these fights.
In our class was a guy named maso aka Mariera(real name) huge kid never been in a fight but everybody alikuwa anampea heshima.
In lower primo was a kid named Albert great guy he was,the guy to go to when an older pupil bullies you at a small fee i.e free snacks for him during tea break.
I used to be that fat timid boy that everybody picked on, siku moja in class 7 I turned wild nikabitika 1st body wa class 8 kama mtoto, kalikuwa kamekauka kama mluhya wa mjengo, lakini kakijaribu kuniangusha kana shindwa juu ya uzito wangu, halafu nikamkalia with my fat behind.
Watu WA Nairobi Primary School wananitambua Kama number 1 inciter WA Vita lakini sikuwahi fight ovyo Ju kulikuwa watu wabigi no Kama may alirepeat nursery Mara tano
Mimi as much as nlikuwa kanono kiasi na once in a while na fight na maboy size yangu (always won), I preferred kutulia & avoid issues. But 1st body wetu was a guy called Ken, wale wasee wanamea ndevu kaa Rick Ross na kupata sauti deep wakiwa class six so that by class eight anakaa 1 of the teachers.
He had a crew of social misfits na wote walikuwa wanastay huko industrial area prisons. 1 morning we had a misunderstanding over some trivial matter tukiwa 3rd term class eight na jamaa akaamua atanivunja hiyo jioni to show who’s boss. Nilishangaa the whole school ilijua of a pending beat down na wasee wanamake bets - most wakidai hiyo siku nitakufa.
Came to find out later on that the guy had been holding a grudge against me since class seven over a chick called Elsie coz the lass was into me & didn’t want shit to do with him.
Anyway, afternoon classes kuisha, almost half the school was at the field - jazzed up for a fight while mimi nlikuwa karibu kujinyorea coz the dude had a bad reputation & wasn’t known to have lost a fight yet, but because kids can be mean, I had to show up ata kama ntachapwa. I was already there waiting, surrounded by excited kids who were yelling, screaming & laughing at my expense, when the guy decided to make a grand entrance. Jamaa alikam na jeshi yake imemsurround wakichant war songs na saa hiyo amevaa boxing gloves akinipoint. Even my own homies waliniambia nihepe but I could not move.
The guy walked straight up to me na akaniseti ngumi moja kali kwa uso akicheka. Surprisingly, I didn’t tumble but nare zangu ziliwaka & I went wild. Nilimnyeshea mangumi na speed ingine I didn’t know I had, next thing I know, anahepa na mimi huyo namfuata kaa nyoka imenusa damu. He ran into the nearest toilets (za Madame) nikamfuata ndani & continued to barrage him with jabs, hooks & uppercuts nikam fuck up kwa uso hadi ilibidi jeshi yake inirestrain nisiuwe.
Hapo I became the 1st bodi for the remaining few weeks hadi tukamada exams.
