STREET KING: ASHLEY LOCKWOOD Chapter 21
Archie picked up his phone and decided to call his bosses. He didn't know how to tell them that he wouldn't be resuming for two days. He was having a meeting that would span till the next day. It didn't help that one of his bosses, Mr. Trent knew his mother and even had a crush on her despite being married and he feared that he would call his mother and report her. "Why are you calling when you should be at work? ""I don't think it's my fault. I was held up in school, we had this very important assignment to submit that we had to wait to do it after school. We also had practical classes that would help us with our grades." Archie lied, feeling very guilty for doing so because it wasn't what his mother taught him.She had advised that he be as transparent as possible but this needed to be done because it was obviously not going to be easy to explain why he wasn't at work."You can take the week off but don't resume anymore."Archie felt stumped. Apart from the fact that he was workin

"You'd have to come with me my dear so that we can start the meeting. Ignore them. They won't like you no matter what you do." Marshall told his son so that he didn't panic.Now, this was what the poor boy was avoiding, he didn't want to struggle for anything. It didn't usually end well. He had been around long enough to know that this wasn't the best way to work."Tell me what are the things that you want me to do for you so that I don't have to skip school or my work and start arguing with your kids," Archie replied, shoving his hands into his pockets as he stared on. It was obvious that there was something else that this man wasn't telling him and that pissed him off greatly. Why was he trying to make him look like he didn't know what he was doing?"I see that you have formed a certain perception but I can tell you categorically that it ain't true. You don't know me well enough to start judging me but I understand you when you say that you want to know the main reason I brought you

Archie snuck into the house at exactly ten thirty p.m., shutting the sliding door gently so that it wouldn't give that satisfying creak that it usually had. He was trying to protect himself from being scolded. "Where the hell do you think you're coming from, young man?" His mother queried and he almost jumped out of his skin in fear. That was all the proof that she needed to know that he was doing something that she wasn't going to be proud of. "Well, Trent called me today to inform me that you have been skipping work. Not only that, your second boss also told me that you take excuses at whim. Imagine my shock when I'm being told all of these?" Archie stared at his mom, gauging her expression. She wasn't mad, only inquisitive. She was the only one who could bring him to his knees. He didn't joke with her. "Mom, I promise you it's not what you're thinking at all. I just,..." He shrugged, not knowing whether to tell her what he had been experiencing the last few weeks. "I don't know

Bailey walked out of class when she received a text message from Archie that he was stuck in the locker room. 'Poor Archie.' She thought as she snuck out through the corridor. She didn't want Mrs. Ava to see her because she would query the life out of her."Is that Bailey?" Mrs Ava called as she saw a figure walking past with a familiar hoodie. It was her signature cloth. Bailey ducked and ran past slowly. "I see what you did there but don't think that I don't know!" Mrs. Ava yelled and returned her focus to her book which she was marking. Bailey ran straight ahead to the locker room. It wasn't news that Archie didn't have friends or people who liked him and would want to help him so she was the only one who could make him see the way out of this mess. "Tell me where you are." She texted him but didn't receive any response. "I don't know what is happening." She muttered.Archie knew that he was probably making her very nervous but he liked it. He couldn't resist it. He wanted it

Miss Ava looked around with a sinister smile on her face. She was fully aware that the kids were there and it wasn't getting funny anymore as her suspicions were skyrocketing."What does that take me for? Huh? A fool?" She mumbled to herself while staring at the open space in the locker room."I wouldn't repeat myself, come out of there and give me an explanation of what you both are doing inside there! Alone!" Miss Ava wasn't taking it lightly with them and Bailey stared at Archie helplessly, Archie smiled at her and gave a reassuring nod despite knowing he couldn't do anything about the situation. "Miss Ava—""Explanation!" Miss Ava demanded as bitch students walked out of the locker room sacred as fuck. They know what would happen if the school authorities learned of this act but then they knew they had to act smart and save their asses."I was going to explain to you ma," Bailey added with a nod."Nothing really happened." Of course, Archie lied. The look Miss Ava had on her face

Archie was glad when he skipped punishment. He didn't want his name to be tarnished again but these boys were really pushing him. Connor smirked at him daring him to do his worst which got him angry but he remembered his father's warning. He wasn't supposed to be found in such a midst of people, it didn't speak well of him.He grinned, causing confusion to settle on the faces of the onlookers. They knew that it was about to go down but they didn't want him to be the winner of the competition. "Why don't you try your luck in basketball instead of trying to tag an innocent boy?" He replied.Connor snorted. "Are you suddenly a coward? What happened to all the warnings about we letting you be and whatnot? Don't tell me you're now repentant, because I don't believe that bullshit. If you want to do something go ahead and do it and stop hiding under some pretense that wouldn't work for you." Archie cocked his head sideways for the umpteenth time. He would never understand why these people

A few days later, Archie had resumed his job at the supermarket, ignoring any side talks that might try to distract him from focusing on his goal. There was no need for him to begin to talk about anything when he could just try his best to become the best version of himself.The talk with the principal had made him reconsider his stance and decided that he wasn't going to be involved in any problematic situation. If only he could just make sure that he was free from all the stress of having to talk too much with his mates then he would finally be free.Bailey dialed his number which he had to put on silent because he was busy with work, he was just being pardoned because of his mother's influence so he didn't want to make his boss have another reason to fire him. He was being on his best behavior. "Hey, text me when you are done." She ended up texting which he made a mental note to reply to. "Why are you slow in attending to the customers today?" Mr. Trebt called loudly embarrassing

The ride to school the next day was supposed to be a smooth one but he already had a feeling that there was going to be a problem, he could just already feel it. Bailey placed a hand across his shoulder. "Hey, I've missed you, Mr. Smith says that you should meet him in his office. Is there any problem again this time?" He shook his head at the accusations before smiling at her. She was the only one who made his day bright at school. "Why does he want to see me?" He repeated tiredly, not understanding why these teachers were suddenly feeling entitled to his time when he could just relax and wait."I feel like there's more to these incessant calls. I don't know what else he is calling me for." Archie's brows rose in mild confusion.Bailey tugged on his arm when she realized that he was carried away with the thought of having to figure out why the teacher sent for him."Don't dwell on that, we could see him together. I know that he won't try anything stupid with me in the mix, he can
