"Hey hey, calm down Boh. He's just messing with ya. Don't let it get to your head"
Kulu followed me and was trying to diffuse the situation.
"That little brat! What's his problem?!"
"I didn't know you smoke"
"What about it?"
"No - nothing, To me it's fine. But Shu later told me you were smoking right by the entrance and being rude and all. Look, man - it's all fine by me. Just bear in mind he's just a kid"
whoooo… I exhaled long and slowly.
"Good. That's it. Calm down"
whooooohhhh…
"Boh, just so you know - Shu has a thing against smoking. His father was a heavy smoker apparently and let's just say, Shu now says he's better off without him. I don't know the details but I've never seen him. I don't know if they are divorced or his father passed away or something. But he gets really irked when someone smokes next to him. I don't know if it's right for me to tell you all this, but please, just keep it in mind"
"You think I need to care about any of that?
"You are good Boh, you are good. I would get angry too. He has a way of getting under your skin"
"Fuck this shit"
"He's not a bad kid. It's him that's being irrational picking a fight with you. I get you, man. Ok?"
whooooohhh…
"Right"
"You cool now?"
"I'm cool. I'm always cool"
"Yeah you cool man"
"But you keep that boy on a leash. I'm not gonna put up with this forever. If he tries to mess with me again, he's dead meat"
"I'll see what I can do, ok?"
"Ok…"
"Thank you"
I just waved him off and headed out. Recess was almost over but I just had to smoke to calm down. I'll go to the back of the school.
