Daisy was beaming when Archie walked in and he pretended not to understand what was happening. "Come in, son. I have good news for you but firstly, did you see Mr. Ralph's car on the way here?"Archie shrugged while being happy inwardly watching his mother look so relieved "No, I didn't. Should I be happy about something ma'am?" He inquired and she beamed."Yes, you should, but before I tell you what happened, where did you get this from?" She inquired, nodding towards the groceries in his hands leaving him a bit stunned. Archie took a minute before finally speaking. He didn't want to expose his heritage yet. "I don't know... It was from my savings and while I was shopping, I met a very kind stranger who helped me out and said that I didn't need to worry about the bills, so after he left I still went back to add more groceries. May I put them in the fridge?" He inquired, avoiding her question tactfully.Daisy, having no reason to doubt her lovely son nodded and rubbed her palms excit
Archie headed to school the next day with a pep in his step. After his accomplishments the previous day, he was feeling fly, satisfied with himself at being able to improve his mother's loving condition, that had always been his goal and he was happy that it was finally coming to pass. He saw a few people staring at him when he walked into school but he didn't know what they were looking at and quite frankly he didn't care about what they thought. Suddenly he felt a presence beside him and he turned to look at Bailey who was smiling at him. "Good morning, Archie." Archie blinked, he didn't think that she would come to him openly again. In his mind, he had thought that it was a one-time thing. "I don't know why you are here, aren't you supposed to be in class?" He inquired as he glanced at his watch.She chuckled at his obvious confusion. "Yeah, I should be in school, but I am not simply because we are not having any lectures today.Archie came to a halt. "Oh? Why is that?" Bailey
Coleman's family house stood out impressively against the terrain and they nodded at how magnificent it was. It was very obvious that his father was rich. Well, he was the Mayor so what did they expect?"I don't understand the rave about these boy's houses. It's just so saddening." "Oh? I didn't know that there was a rave about it. If you will, I would have loved for you to just try as much as possible to pipe down today so that we don't get into any trouble at all." Archie suggested. He really just wanted to see what the party was all about. Bailey nodded and adjusted her glasses on her slim nose before turning toward him. "Well, how do I look?" "Beautiful," Archie replied without a thought. He had noticed but had forgotten to comment about it because he was thinking about something else he didn't even realize that he was supposed to do. Bailey nodded and scrunched her face when she saw a lot of cars lined up behind Coleman's. "Tommy is such a bully. Why does everyone have to li
The whole school went silent after witnessing the incident. Archie had the time of his life as he kissed the school's hottest cheerleader. Many guys would kill to be in his position alas he was the one who was enjoying himself the most. "Now, don't tell me that you are dating this trash bag?" Tommy inquired but they didn't respond. Bae instead giggled against his lips causing all the guys around to groan. They felt like punching Archie for managing to cart away the girl that they had eyes for since most of them hit early puberty. It didn't just help that they didn't have the courage to go up to her for fear that she might turn them down.Archie heard clicks so Bailey quickly turned to shield him from the photos. "I'll suggest that you put those phones down. I also have evidence of you trying to haze other students, for this nonsense that you have done, you will have to make sure that you face your warrant, I will make sure of that." As soon as she spoke, they quickly put their ph
Connor didn't expect the torrent of blows that came down on him when he was speaking to Archie. Little did he know that Archie had studied him very well to know that he was better at shoving people, which caused them to fall and emerge as the winner. But this time around, Archie was ready for whatever it would take to make sure that he got to the bottom of the issue. Getting to the bottom of the issue meant that he was going to iron everything out before they could even say Jack. As they were even trying to understand what was happening, Archie jumped on Connor and began to slap him very hard. "You will not speak to people in this manner. Learn to accord people respect." Each statement was accompanied by a slap that made the whole room keep quiet.Connor's arms flailed as he tried to defend himself to no avail but no one was even acting like they saw him in pain. They were also feeling very annoyed at the way that Connor acted but they didn't have any choice at that."Is there anyt
When Archie walked into school the next day, he was accosted by stares. If stares could kill then he would have been the feet under the ground. It was very embarrassing but he had learned to roll with the fame. They weren't going to do anything to him now that they knew that he wasn't to be messed with. Gone were the days when certain people would try to mess with him but now he was going to make sure that there was something up his sleeves that no one had the privilege of seeing."You know that you're not feeling this school, why don't you leave?" "Wasn't he the one who beat Connor to a pulp last night?" Another student whispered quite loudly for him to hear but he wasn't interested in whatever they had to say because as usual there was a mistake in the way they acted which was the fact that they thought he was nobody."I wonder what the Mayor would say today when he comes to school to see the student that beat his son." The subject of the discussion walked into the hallway and a
Archie's brows were raised to a good measure. "I don't think that's a good idea. How would they receive my presence? I mean, this is not who they would expect to be their daughter's friend?" He replied warily. Bae rolled her eyes at him. He was very fond of downgrading himself and trying to act like he was nothing when in reality, she saw beyond that and was finally going about to make sure that she drew him out of his shell. "But does it really matter? You're just my friend, we are having dinner, what's wrong if you just show up? It's not like you're disabled, even if you were that doesn't mean a thing to me." She replied and he rolled his eyes. She didn't understand what he was saying. He had seen this pattern a lot of times to understand that the rich didn't like their kids mingling with the less privileged.He wasn't also ready to reveal his identity yet. "I know that and I don't doubt your friendship neither do I think that your parents think that way but it's the truth, so wh
Archie wasn't really in the right mood for all this nonsense. Bailey clearly wasn't in that mood too. So they ignored it and walked away. Sierra didn't take it in good stride because although she didn't want to admit it, she was jealous. "I don't see any reason you should stoop so low to date a boy who has no future, you can see this clearly but remain adamant who made you this way?"Archie grabbed Bailey's hand because he didn't know how she would react to the stupid way that his ex-girlfriend was behaving. "I don't think that there is something there in the first place. If you have a spark with your new man, why don't you concentrate on him and leave us the hell alone?""I know right? This is what a broke guy would say. You want someone who will stay with you and say that she suffered right? But you're mistaken my dear, that can't happen at least not on my watch. I won't allow another lady to fall victim to something that I know won't help you in the future. You feel me right?" "
