"Boss...Boss, are you for real?" Archie's jaw dropped the moment his boss declared that statement. From the other end, he could see the rest of the workers already growling and murmuring with jealousy as envy rented the restaurant.Seeing they just finished gossiping about him, of course, they were meant to get uncomfortable."Why Archie of all people in this restaurant?" One of them murmured to the other, bitterness visible in his voice and how he spoke."I don't even know myself. Isn't he an irregular worker? What does the manager see to make him the new manager?" The other whispered to the first one, and Archie's eyes twitched, falling on the two workers who instantly cleared their throats, focusing back on the work."You know it's good not to gossip while at work? If you're pained by my success, then you can just make use of the door" Archie said bluntly, trying to keep his cool as the Manager returned to his office.Archie felt so happy, ecstatic, and surprised at the same time.

Archie went back to his work that day without adhering to the gossip of workers. He was ready to head back home when the Manager called him again."Sir" He smiled after changing the close and open sign of the restaurant. The boss was actually outside waiting for him. "I can see you've started managing the restaurant, Archie" he said and smiled and Archie felt proud. He was going to be missing his boss though and suddenly, he was forced to ask."When will you be returning back, Sir?", He asked, trying not to sound so desperate to know. "Soon, I can't say for now" he muttered like he could read his mind and Archie nodded his head."Um, will you like anything? I'm just surprised that you called me" Archie uttered. "I heard the struct policies you instilled in the workers" Manager Temple replied, and Archie was taken aback. His limp bone rose as he averted away. He was sure he wouldn't like the rules he just made.. was he really going too far?His thoughts were cut off when he spoke again

"What do you want?" Archie asked, his voice a sharp edge. He had better things to do than entertain their false care.Ryder forced a smile, he was sick of his attitude but he kept his composure, he was here to earn his trust and find out what he was up to "Aren't you happy to see us, Archie? We came all the way out here..." He trailed of trying his best not to scrunch his nose in disgust He wouldn't be caught dead in this ratchet part of town, Archie should be grateful he considered stooping to his level.Archie’s eyes flicked over them briefly before he leaned against the doorframe, crossing his arms. "Happy? No, I’m not. How do you feel being in this part of town? I'm surprised you even had the guts to come here so what did I do to be honored by this disturbing visit?"Ryder’s smile faltered, his knuckles tightened by his side, the audacity of this man! He thought it took a lot for him to keep his tone light. "We just thought we’d check on you. It's been a while."Archie scoffed.

Archie watched the clock on the classroom wall, counting the seconds until the final bell. He had been watching them acting dumb he could tell they were waiting for the right opportunity to act.He almost chuckled watching them act anxious like a child waiting for Santa Christmas morning.Simultaneously their eyes clashed they glared at him then looked in the other direction while he kept his expression neutral.Finally he stood stretching a little to see the eager expression on their faces, they failed miserably to hide their intentions, if Emily hadn't warned him he would have still figured out their plan.Rolling his eyes he walked out leaving his bag behind knowing that was where they would plant the evidence.He stood outside watching through the glass as they stayed back. They were waiting for everyone to leave before they executed their stupid plan.Not bothered Archie left then went to the cafeteria to grab a snack, those peasants were not worth stressing over though he would

“I am disappointed in you boys” The principal was saying, his disappointment was clear and so was his voice when he gave his final verdict. “ I shall not condone such behavior in this school and find it criminal and dishonest. I won't accept it, boys! You’re hereby suspended till further notice.” Their eyes looked like it was going to pop out of its socket and rage poured through the three of them. They had always managed to get away with their bully and incredulous pranks but not because of Archie they were suspended?David hurried forward and sat on the opposite seat.“Sir, it was an honest prank! We didn’t expect Archie to take it this far.” “Honestly sir, that’s what we thought..” Ryan added desperately.Archie allowed himself to feel smug about this particular situation, he would have been the one to be suspended and these same guys would be laughing. The principal's voice jolted him out of his thoughts as the boys filed out of the office.“Can I get a copy of the voice tape? I

The next few days were drama-filled and the staff and students started a rumor saying there was a more powerful entity in the town and it wasn’t the Mayor, some said it was the district attorney while some were convinced it was the Marshall. News of the gossip had reached the ears of the mayor and it annoyed him more than the embarrassment Tommy was causing for him, having his power questioned in his own York was a nightmare and he was living it.“Where is Tommy?” He asked his assistant.“He went for football practice, the school still allows him to have them.” Samantha explained and rage started to boil all once again.“Football practice or a class on how to embarrass your parents 101? Call him in. Tell him to return to the house now!” The mayor grounded and Samantha immediately hurried to do it, she dialed his mobile number and after the beep she dropped the message.“Tell the media team to schedule an emergency airing for later today. He has to apologize to the boy on air.” The ma

Archie bounced into school the next morning and the classmates pointed at him making him feel a bit worried about their newly found attitude. There was nothing to fear because the bullies had been sent home. If anyone tried anything unseemly with him, he would make sure that they faced the wrath of expulsion."Why is everyone staring at me like I have poop on my skin?" He wondered and was finally seeing the difference in the way that they treated others. It was as if he was some vermin. He didn't do anything to warrant this kind of treatment, especially from people who he knew he was better than. It was just an avenue for them to have a way with their offences which quite frankly he didn't mind. "Archie, over here!" He heard someone call and before he could say Jack, a ball hit him hard in the stomach.He only scanned the area for Bailey. She was supposed to be in school early. They were supposed to turn in their assignments early. He thought of writing hers and submitting it. He c

Ryder moved straight to Simon's room early in the morning. He needed answers and was going to get them no matter what. His eyes roamed the hallway, searching that no one saw him and reported to his father. He knocked gently even though that belied the real way he was feeling. Simon rose and walked to the door, pulled it open and blinked when he saw a fuming Ryder in front of his room. It baffled him greatly that he was unable to speak for a minute. "Why are you here?" He inquired instantly, getting into a defensive stance. Ryder stared at him challengingly as though he was about to pull his head out. This made him a bit scared. "I need to talk to you." "It's too early. We'll speak at seven." Simon said and attempted to shut the door but Ryder wedged his foot in between. "What's the meaning of all these?""You think that I am here to joke with you? Of course not. I am only here to ask a few questions to which you must reply or I will get you fired." Simon sighed, having an inklin
