The principal smiled like a child when he heard the promise.“I think it’s only fitting for us to shake on it and seal the deal” Alexander suggested as he stretched his hand to the principal.The principal, who was more than happy to comply, accepted the handshake and said to Alexander once their hands were locked “I’m saying this from the bottom of my heart; thank you so much. You don’t know how big this favor you’re doing for me is”Alexander grinned and replied “Come on now, Mr. Dave. I couldn’t refuse after hearing all that. In fact, the price of the story behind the wristwatch is more valuable to me than the actual amount of one million dollars” Their handshake ended and both men returned to how they had been sitting. The principal thought about what Alexander just said and a part of it made him feel guilty.He asked, “Are you sure that asking you to pay such a huge amount of money isn’t too much?”Alexander shrugged and replied “I wouldn’t have offered to give you anything you
“I’m guessing that’s the person from the registration office” Alexander said.“Most likely” the principal replied and both men looked at the door.“Who is that?!” The principal asked loudly. “It’s Alexa, Sir. You called and told me to come to your office, saying that there’s something urgent you want me to do for you” Alexa said from the other side of the door.“Yes. The door is open” The principal said.“Okay, Sir” Alexa replied and then opened the door.She observed the office for a moment, taking note that there was someone else in there with the principal and then she focused her attention on the man who called her.“Good morning, sir” she greeted, bowing her head in respect.“Good morning, Alexa. Please, come in and stand here” the principal gestured at where she should relocate to which was beside his desk.He wanted her close to himself and Alexander because of what his request was going to be.Alexa did as told and went to stand by Alexander’s left side.“This is Alexander” t
“I guess that the next time we see, I’ll be an official student of Scholar Academy and I’ll have no choice but to refer to you as Sir,” Alexander said to the principal.The principal chuckled.“A student for only a day. What a truly funny circumstance, but regardless of how short-lived it’s going to be, it’ll be a pleasure having you as one of our students” the principal said.“Thank you” Alexander replied and then both men bid each other goodbye with the bow of their heads.Alexander walked up to Alexa who was waiting for him at the door and then they left the office.“You’re taking your leave?” Gift asked Alexander the moment she saw him. “That’s right. Thanks to you, Mr. Dave, and let me not forget Alexa, I’ll be able to achieve my goal” Alexander said and Gift smiled.“That’s good to hear,” she said.Alexander looked at the beautiful woman from head to toe and with a smirk, he said “Don’t forget about what I told you”Gift’s eyes widened then she, who hadn’t forgotten what he sai
After filling in all the documents, Alexander arranged them properly and then stretched them to Alexa who became a little surprised.“That was… Umm,” she scratched the side of her head in bewilderment and said “That was fast. Way faster than I expected”Alexander shrugged.“We’re on limited time so I had to be a little faster than normal” he replied.Alexa took the documents from him and scanned through them, trying to see if there was any error, but to her surprise, they were perfectly filled.She looked at Alexander with confusion and said “A little faster than normal? That’s understating it. I mean, anybody else who would have tried filling this like you did would have faced a great challenge”“I’m a fast writer but that aside, can you start doing what you’re supposed to?” Alexander gestured at the documents.“Oh, yeah. Let me just go ahead and use this. Too bad I can’t be as fast as you or we would have finished this a lot sooner” Alexa said as she held the documents in one hand a
It turned out to be a long wait that lasted forty-five minutes.To kill the time, Alexa played games on her phone whereas Alexander closed his eyes and meditated. He also conversed with the system as the more he used it, the faster it evolved.Twenty minutes into the wait, both of them took a break from what they were doing because the secretary from Coker Wake High School called to inform Alexa that she had gotten all of Alexander’s records and was waiting for the principal’s arrival and approval of the transfer.During the call, she also commented on how outstanding Alexander’s grades were, making Alexa more impressed by the young multimillionaire.The last thing the secretary did before ending the call was say how unfortunate it was that she didn’t know about such a brilliant student until that moment.She talked about how great it would have been to have had Alexander represent the school in academic competitions, but for whatever reason, his name was never mentioned as a potentia
The other registration office staff members all looked at Alexander confusedly.They didn’t know who he was talking to, so all they could do was stare and wonder if the young multimillionaire, who seemed calm and respectful at first, was in fact a Chameleon.In essence, they wondered if their original assessment of him was wrong and he had always been a rude person to begin with. Or, the person he was on the phone with was someone who deserved every harsh word.Since their original impression of him was a positive one, their minds swayed towards that latter.“Alexa. Alexa” Cheryl called out in a whispering voice.Alexa looked at the annoying woman and made a gesture, asking her what she wanted. Cheryl pointed at Alexander and asked “What’s up with him? Who is he talking to like that?”Alexa looked at Alexander who was still going at it with the principal of Coker Wake High School, groaned, and then looked at Cheryl.“It’s a personal matter so it’s not my place to tell you,” Alexa sai

Alexander interrupted the principal in the middle of what he was saying and asked “How can you throw a ball as hard as you can only to have it come back to you without it bouncing off of anything?”[“What?!”] “Lemme guess, you don’t
Inside one of the Coker Wake High School offices, the secretary who had transferred the call from her landline to the principal’s heard a very loud banging sound. She grimaced and hurriedly looked at the closed principal’s office door.“What was that?” She asked and then she heard the sound again.“That sounded like someone slamming the headset of a landline on itself. That doesn’t make any sense because why on earth would Mr. Jonas do something like that?” She said, scratching the side of her head in confusion.“I thought Mr. Jonas was on a call with a former student so what could have gotten him so angry that he decided to react in such a—?“ she asked herself but then jolted when she heard a different but just as alarming sound.It was the sound of the principal sweeping the things off his desk and all of them falling on the floor. “Just what the world is going on?!” The secretary said as she quickly stood up from her chair.She slowly walked up to the principal’s office door then
