Alexander went back to WhatzApp where he continued chatting with Winifred until she said that she had to go offline because her teacher just walked into the class and she would talk to him later. The chat ended which was good because Alexander was starting to get tired as he wasn’t someone who liked chatting all that much. After that, Alexander looked at his phone, from front to back, and groaned. “Why haven’t I upgraded this yet?” He asked himself as he looked at the phone with disgust. How could he be using such an old model when he had hundreds of millions of dollars in his account? It was unbecoming and disgraceful. “Alright, I guess I know what to do today,” Alexander said then he dropped the phone on the bed and went to take a shower. After a couple of minutes, he came out of the bathroom fully dried, put on what he would wear for his outing then he took the phone from the bed and went out of the house. He got into his car and got ready to drive off, but first, he need
Friday, the last weekday of the second week of July, and just as expected of this time of year, the afternoon sun was the hottest it had been all year long. The scorching heat that penetrated the scanty canopy of clouds made outside an unbearable place to be. However, behind the prestigious Coker Wake High School building was the perfect shade against the harsh weather. Four students could be found in the embrace of this cool shade. To be exact, three students could be found standing while the fourth was on the ground, uniform ruffled and dirty, body battered and bruised, and back up against a dumpster. He also appeared to be panting and clearing his throat like someone who had just successfully finished running a marathon.“I don’t think he learned his lesson, Fredrick. Why don’t you teach him again and this time make sure it sticks” said Paul, one of the students who was privileged to be among the standing group.On Paul’s uniform blazer was a gold colored badge that declared the
Alexander tried his best to block himself from her attacks but she purposely hit the back of his hand which Fredrick had stepped on and injured, causing him to drop his guard so she could continue to slap his face.After she had gone for long enough, Fredrick cleared his throat, drawing her attention.“Alright Cherry, that’s enough. The bell rang less than two minutes ago and the other students will be out any moment. Don’t do anything that’ll make them bring their ugly faces over here” Fredrick instructed.Though Paul and Cherry were the School’s Student President and Vice President respectively and as such were meant to be the top in the hierarchy of students, Fredrick was the only student who was above both of them.The reason for that was because of the family he came from. Actually, Coker Wake was a school owned by the Dove family, and as such, Fredrick has been the most influential and popular student in school since the day he enrolled.All the students adore him and all the s
He looked down at himself and how rough he was and he sighed.Alexander walked up to his father, ignoring the laughs and gossip being made about him then the first thing he did when he got to the Jeep was greet his father, Mr. Curry Philips. However, instead of accepting his greeting like a good father should, Mr. Curry sneered confusedly at Alexander.“Alex. What’s the meaning of this? Why are you in such an abhorrent state? Did you get into a fight with another student? How dare you do something like that?! Do you want to bring shame to the master and the entire Dove family with your actions? I thought I taught you better than this” Mr. Curry reprimanded, looking angrily at Alexander. Alexander couldn’t even say anything back. There were so many questions that he didn’t know where to start.“Alex, tell me. How did you get like this—?” Mr. Curry asked but then was interrupted.“I did it to him.”“Young Master Fredrick?!” Mr. Curry said, looking and sounding surprised when he saw Fr
“What? Master Dove wants to see me? Why—?” Alexander said in a panic but was cut short.“Shut up you worm. Say anything else in this car and I’ll tell Curry to kick you out” Fredrick said.Mr. Curry looked at Alexander angrily, using his face to tell him to shut the hell up. “When the hell did father give an instruction about seeing this trash— you know what? Never mind. I’m sure there’s a reason” Fredrick said.He sighed and said “Well, since Father is involved in this then I guess I’ll allow that monkey to breathe the same air as me” Fredrick looked at Alexander’s head through the opening in the blind and said:“I guess it’s your lucky day, worm. You get to ride home with me. Better cherish this moment’cause this is never going to happen again” Fredrick said and Alexander kept quiet.“About that, Young Master,” Mr. Curry said, and immediately, Fredrick and Alexander looked at him. “What is it this time?” Fredrick asked, exasperatedly.“We aren’t going to the estate right now. We
“No, no, no. This has to be some kind of sick joke or maybe even a dream” He said after seeing Mrs. Dove hug her daughter.The woman was joyous that they’d gotten a perfect eye donor.By the side, Fredrick placed his palm on his forehead and laughed. “This is so comical that it’s outright wonderful,” he said then looked at Alexander “I guess you really won’t be going to college now. The only studying I see in your future is studying braille but don’t worry, I’ll take it upon myself to get you the best tutor the country has to offer”Alexander became more lightheaded and dizzy after hyperventilating as much as he had. He felt sick to his stomach and could throw up at any moment.He looked around, observing how everything was moving along really quickly and he thought to himself ‘I have to get out of here!’Gathering the little strength and focus he had left, Alexander turned around and tried running for the door. The only option he had for saving himself was to escape.Sadly, the secu
“Hey, nurses! What the hell is going on over there?! Is the doctor okay? Why did he faint just as he was about to start the surgery?!” Asked one of the security personnel as he and his partner slowly stepped toward the bed that Alexander was on. “Speaking of starting the surgery. Why is the donor awake? I thought the gas you gave him was supposed to knock him out. Did you not use enough or was it not as strong as it’s supposed to be?” Asked the second security personnel. One of the nurses paused from trying to help the doctor. She grimaced and then looked at the security personnel who asked the last question“Awake? What do you mean the donor is awake? I administered the anesthetic myself and I made sure he was unconscious before taking it off—“ the nurse with the name Julie on her uniform name tag said before she faced up and saw that Alexander was looking at what was happening beside his bed. “Wait a minute. Is he awake? How is he awake?” Nurse Julie mumbled with an expression of
Alexander saw the message and his grin widened. He enjoyed being gifted.“Hey, bastard!” Yelled Bob, drawing Alexander’s attention toward himself. “Huh?” Alexander asked condescendingly. “Don’t think you’re free just because you managed to get out of the bed,” Bob said, and Alexander raised a brow.“Yeah, brat. First of all, that door is locked, so there’s no way you can get out of this room without either one of our fingerprints. For your information, the moment you try to force the door open, the alarm is going to go off and dozens of security from all over the facility will be there to pin you down.” Josh said. Alexander looked at the door, then he looked at Josh and started laughing. “What’s so funny?” Josh asked.“Nothing. Just realizing how important getting a good education really is and from what you just did, it’s obvious that you idiots never made it past the fifth grade” “Why you!” Bob said, trying to clench his fists in anger, but there was no strength to do so. “Onl
