Room.

What room?

How am I even suppose to know when you’re in bad mood?

Simi not now, please.

Hey girl,

what’s up?

How did it go?

What do you think?

When I just...

I’m just so angry at myself

for always listening to your stupid advice.

I don’t understand,

but I was only trying to help.

Then stop trying.

Simi, please be calm.

Please leave me.

These things can’t change in one day,

you’re playing for the long-run.

Well done!

Senior player!

Striker and winger.

What are you guys plotting this time around?

Tayo, you’re just a stupid fool that keeps on fooling.

Will you get out of here?

Please leave this place.

It’s painful is it not?

Look at him, he looks like Bonga Fish.

Try it now.

Try it.

-Ugly boy. -Nonsense.

-I hate this boy so much. -Just calm down.

Leave me.

I’m not your friend.

I’m still your best friend.

No, stop touching me.

Please, I’m sorry.

Let’s go.

Leave me.

Simi, you get angry too much.

calm down.

I can’t wait for her to come back.

Hi guys!

Yes!

You’re so giving Amandy.

Better than that ugly uniform

-from that school. -I know...right!

Mandy,

I’m so hyped you’re back.

This school has been so cold... without you.

And I’m definitely happy to be back girls.

Perfect.

Now spill the tea.

Spill sis, spill.

What tea?

What’s up with your dad and all the grounding business?

Yeah!

Oh! That..

Girls...

the grounding is still on.

What?

-That’s so not good. -No no.

We are supposed to have

our movie and spa day this weekend Mandy.

Yeah!

Honestly,

I think you guys would have to do that without me.

Or...

we can come up with a plan.

Uhh, I like that

I second it.

Don’t worry, you don’t have to come.

Anyway,

see we’re going to deal with that later,

right now we are just so happy you’re back.

Because,

we have unfinished business.

We do?

Yes we do.

I wasn’t throwing shades at you,

but if it's your sub, you take it.

What!

Come here!

Oh we should take it?

Then you better catch these hands.

Rubbish.

Nonsense.

That... is our unfinished business.

Guys!

I thought we were done with her?

No the hell we are not.

Not after snitching and -And..

definitely not for the suspension.

Guys..

at this point.

I think we should just let her be.

Stop capping girl.

Girl, if for any thing you should be mad.

You got a month suspension.

I know but..

Chiza.

Chiza I’m scared.

Mandy has become a chicken.

Those trenches bugs

they are messing with her head.

No, not at all.

Then.. it’s settled.

Period.

We are done.

[School bells rings]

Mr. Ayodeji.

Aunty Rose,

why are you people sitting here?

Why aren’t you in the staff room?

They’re sweeping the staff room.

Oh they’re sweeping?

Yes.

I wanted to go there and carry--

Let me just stay with you people.

This work!

The work isn’t easy right?

My brother.

What can we do?

No option.

They say a teacher’s reward is in heaven.

[Mrs Eze. singing in igbo dialect]

You people are here.

-Mrs. Eze. -Yes.

This one you are..

dancing and singing like this,

you are very happy.

it’s like you won C.W.O lottery right?

I wish.

But this is more than lottery.

-Really? -Yes.

Quickly say it,

don’t keep us on an unnecessary anticipation.

Is it not the new girl in my class.

Which one?

Amanda Henshaw or Hensaw.

Is she back?

No...

She’s gone.

Like completely gone.

Mrs. Eze.

You’re late to the conversation.

Mr. Ayodeji and I have known this longtime.

In fact, we were there

live and direct when it happened.

Really?

It is not a competition

is it?

Yes.

I’m just happy that she’s gone.

That girl has too much trouble.

That girl!

That girl is trouble.

You won’t believe that, that girl

threatened to sue me for abuse.

I almost believed her.

She challenged me in front of everyone in the class.

Made me call her mother,

only to discredit me.

Sorry oh!

That girl,

that was correcting my English

the first time I met her.

Mrs. Eze.

All of us,

we know that

your English needs correcting.

Come on keep quiet! [igbo dialect]

Mr. One clothe one shoe.

My botheration is that we are inclined

to think that, that girl’s affliction

is physical.

But it’s nothing but a spiritual issue.

This is the problem I have with you, Aunty Rose.

Big grammar all the time.

Try and cut it--

Sorry.

Grammar or no grammar.

I’m just happy that..

I have one less problem now.

That girl is one week one trouble.

My dear,

we are happy with you.

Are you people not happy?

We are very happy.

So...

Since they’re still sweeping let me just..

walk around, you know these student

you need to put an eye on them.

All right then.

Take it easy.

No problem, I will.

Sit there.

Go back.

I need to study.

I’m done sweeping sir.

Okay, thank you.

You people are leaving me here.

Master Kali!

You can run,

but you can’t hide,

from Master Kali.

You’re all surprised right?

-Good Morning Sir. -Master Kali.

So you were surprised to the point that...

you forgot to greet.

Good morning to you, settle down.

Settle down.

I can see that you people are all surprised.

You thought that,

I can easily be removed.

But come on, I’m Master Kali.

I also know that,

it’s someone from this class,

that was planning my downfall.

But guess what?

It was dead on arrival.

The thing is that,

I’ll eventually find out.

And when I find out...

until then.

But for now,

bring out your notebook.

You have just five seconds,

after five seconds

it’s gonna be minus ten marks

from your continuous assessment.

Let’s go!

Five seconds!

Why is the class scanty?

Where is the person sitting there?

What’s his name, Teekay.

Where is he?

Sir, he is nursing a heartbreak.

What’s funny?

And you,

who asked you?

Who asked you?

It’s over familiarity.

This is what I’m talking about over familiarity.

You meet me after class.

And you know what that means.

And where’s this person, what’s that his name Tayo?

That one has joined bad gang.

All right, no problem.

Let’s solve some mathematics.

Girls.

I have a plan.

Tomorrow,

we’ll execute.

What plan?

You know what plan Mandy.

I don’t know the plan.

-What’s the plan? -Chill.

All right.

Tomorrow,

we’ll find out.

Good afternoon class.

Good afternoon Ms. Cheta

If you’re not offering literature you’re excused.

Take out your play text,

Let me die alone By Johnny K. Kargbo

Open to page Five.

Hurry!

Bend down and pick.

Make sure you pick all these dirt.

We’re not here to raise pigs.

Pick it.

Bomalistica!

Who is that?

King Kali my man!

Which one is who is that?

Who else calls you Bomalistica

in this whole world apart from me?

King Kali my man,

I’m sorry, don’t be angry.

It’s just that this our job

is becoming too overwhelming.

It's overwhelming?

Yes.

Job that you’ve not even started is overwhelming.

I know right?

It’s becoming exciting.

Boma, which one is it?

Overwhelming or exciting?

Kali,

are they not the same?

Dumb skull!

What’s that?

What’s funny?

What’s funny?

If I hear you laugh again,

I’m going to give you fifty-two lashes of this cane.

Bend down and pick.

Boma,

they are not the same.

Don’t go and say it in public.

At least you understood what I meant.

I was trying to.

Kali,

I’ve been thinking

if we can raise some

money and go and buy some cheap wine,

for Amanda’s father to tell him thank you

for getting the job for us.

Boma,

this thing you just said now,

end it here.

Do not allow it go beyond here.

What kind of talk is that?

We helped the man and he helped us in return.

Please don’t bring any idea that is going to

make me spend any money I don’t have.

Kali I was just thinking..

It’s just way of showing appreciation.

If it’s appreciation you want to do,

put him in your prayers.

You think these rich men, they drink

this your 1,500 Naira wine that you drink?

Kali, it’s just a thought.

Let it remain a thought.

Let it remain a thought.

Listica!

The one and only groundsman,

of Prince Memorial High.

That’s me.

I know right?

Yes, you know.

Okay, let me go and show you love.

Follow me to the canteen,

let me go and spoil you a little.

-Really? -Yes.

I’m in.

You’re in.

Make here clean and sharp,

I don’t want to see anything littered on the floor

Do you hear me?

Alright pick, pick pick.

Keep picking.

Let’s go.

Let me go and spoil you.

-Come! -King Kali my man!

Good afternoon Mom.

Welcome back love.

How was your first day back?

Well,

it was just there.

That doesn’t sound encouraging.

Yeah, I mean nothing special happened

it was just there.

How’s Chiza and kayla?

I don’t know.

What do you mean, you don’t know?

They weren’t in school today?

They were there but,

I avoided them because dad asked me to.

He said what?

Yes, he asked me to avoid them.

When did he tell you this?

This morning after he dropped me off at school.

I see.

Go change then get ready for lunch.

Perpetual!

ThankGod!

Perpetual!

Mommy, welcome ma.

How are you?

I’m fine ma.

How was school today?

Fine Ma.

We were asked to buy,

broom,

tissue, disinfectant,

soap..

What for?

For civic project.

What business does broom and soap have with civic education?

Instead of them to give you,

useful and thoughful...

project.

They’re asking you to buy

soap and tissue.

In fact, I’m coming to see that teacher.

Mommy.

Don’t come and cause trouble again.

My friend will you shut up there.

What is the relationship between

broom and Civic Education?

To keep our environment clean.

Or for your teacher to take it to her store

and resell right?

Mommy, that might be true.

I thought you were smarter than your mother.

Now you’re thinking.

Where is your brother?

He’s not back.

This boy has started.

Yes, who’s that?

You again.

Good afternoon.

Don’t greet me.

This afternoon I was just enjoying

myself with my garri has swollen up

you just came with your bad vibes.

What do you want Oga?

Please I have a note for Amanda.

If you can help me pass it to her.

As a post officer or what?

Oga, please go home.

I just need her to read this note.

Can you hear yourself?

Okay now wait, let me advice you.

This is for free.

You see poor people like you and I,

can never,

will never

get rich people like Amanda

this....

Thank you.

Thank you for the advice,

Now give her the damn note.

Are you raising your voice at me?

Babe,

I specifically asked you not to talk

to Amanda about her friends yet.

Hey babe!

Don’t hey me.

Babe, look I’m sorry

I just had to do it.

No, you just couldn’t wait

because once again

you had to let your anger and ego get in your way.

I didn’t plan to...

No.

Babe you lied to me.

You were going to let me do it.

I was trying to protect her babe.

Oh! And I’m not?

You lied babe,

and that is the problem.

I’m sorry.

No you’re not.

Now Amanda feels isolated at home and at school.

I hope you’re happy now?

Please,

it’s just a note.

Go home.

Why are you being so difficult?

It’s just a harmless note!

Why am I being difficult?

And why will I do that?

See Teekay,

I am not going to give anyone preferential treatment,

I'm going to submit this notes now.

Please.

Fine.

You have been very mean and evil to me.

But I will just forgive you because

I know you are going through something

and you don’t want to share it.

Thank you.

See,

Teekay, remember I'm your friend.

If you ever want to talk somebody,

you can always talk to me.

I will remember that.

Okay, I will wait for you.

So I want you to write very well.

So I’ll be waiting for you.

Let’s go.

You are a good friend.

Thank you.

I know.

Alright.

Mandy.

Are you ghosting us?

No.

Well it sure seems like you are.

I am not.

I am reading.

Well,

It’s time to stop reading

because it’s a payback o’ clock.

Girls, I’m really not in the mood for that right now.

Who cares?

You don’t have to be in the mood for a revenge,

you just do it.

Amanda you have been acting all shady

since you come back from that school.

Hope is not about that “boy”.

It better not be about that stinking loser.

Teekay is not a loser.

Oh really?

Because it’s such a trenches name for a trenches boy.

Stop it!

Fine.

Look Amanda,

old things are passed away.

Welcome back to the new.

Welcome back to civilization.

There are a lot of cute boys here anyway, move on.

Girls, I actually can’t go.

The principal put me on probation.

Amanda come on.

No!

Look,

we are not going to beg you.

we will deal with all this

bad energy you’re exuding later.

Chiza.

You did that on purpose, didn’t you?

Why would I want to do that?

Perhaps you’re a trouble marker.

Well, maybe you have something

important that makes me want to trouble you?

The ball.

Hey the ball!

Pass the ball!

That hurts right?

Chicken.

Damn!

Emotional damage!

What’s funny?

Please bring the ball.

You think you can dress anyhow,

because we are now running a club right?

Ehn?

No socks.

Mr. Boma.

Yes.
