I was bullied during my first supper in high school. After queuing, I received a plate of ugali and boiled sukuma wiki. I sat at a table that was unoccupied. The next table was occupied by 4 form 3s taking their supper as well.

I scooped a spoonful of ugali and sukuma wiki and tried to eat. They tasted awful. One spoon was enough to convince me that I was not an animal to take such a meal, at least for that day. I decided that I was not going to take more than a spoon of the meal.

I rose to my feet to leave. One of them, Nahashon, called me to their table. He asked me where was I taking a plate full of supper.
‘I am full, I am going to throw the food away into the dustbin.’
‘Pass me your plate,’ Nahashon said.

He had a robust body physique, an intimidating face, and an officious voice. At that time, his plate was empty. ‘Now, take my plate, go to the taps and clean it. After doing that, come back for your plate.’
I went and washed his plate.

I came back when he was halfway done eating my supper. ‘Now, walk with my plate to the queue, get served another meal, and bring it here,’ he ordered. Meekly, I did as he had ordered. I had heard horrifying stories about bullying in high school.

I didn’t want to get on the wrong foot with the senior students. I did what he had ordered me to do.
I went and queued for a second plate. I heard the cooks serving the meals whispering amongst themselves; ‘huyu form one anurudia chakula on his first day in school’.

After getting served, I took the meal to Nahashon’s table. He was done eating my supper and immediately started devouring the third plate of awful ugali and tasteless sukuma wiki.

Nahashon was one of the famous students in school owing to the fact that he always ate before the rest of the students ate, ate alongside the rest of the students, and ate after the rest of the students had eaten.
