Chapter 17"Now get to my office!!" The teacher commanded the leader of the bullies. "Not again!!" One of them murmured."Hmm! We just survived that, didn't we?" Leah said with a worried face."What a way to start the day!" Shawn replied. . . Giving off a shrug as he walked away.The day had started on a bad note for Shawn, and for Sure, he was not ready to get cheesed off and go ballistic. And for that, he was ready for anyone that was going to try him and probably step on his toes. He just hoped that when it happened, Pedro would be with him.He had left Leah who had walked to her class to pick up some of the books she had dropped when she had gone to call Shawn for the teacher. She walked out of the school, waiting by the side of the pavement for a taxi that would take her back to her home.The first car passed by she wasn't quick to stop it just when it was close. . . And in the nick of time, another came rolling by, and this time. . . It stopped right in front of her like he kne
Chapter 18"You framed her." Her friend cried "Babe…are you on drugs right now?" Leah taunted "I don't do cocaine!" Erica yelled "She doesn't even know what it looks like." Her friend screed "I don't know what it looks like!" Erica concurred "I swear to God. I don't even do coke!" Erica added"I'm telling you, she's innocent!" Her friend agreed "Take care, hon. We'll miss you." Leah mocked "Jessica! Do something!" Erica cries and screams "Why are you doing this?" Erica's voice echoed loudly as she begged Leah to give her reasons."So sad. I hope she gets the help she needs. Pray for Erica." Leah jeered"Pray for Erica." The crowd repeated "Yeah. Bye. Bye. See you next summer. Bye. Bye." Leah continued."Ahh. . . Ohh my goodness!!" Leah screamed suddenly from her sleep, looking to see if it was really true."What the hell was that?" Leah thought to herself. After what she had just experienced, it seems to her that she just had a Deja Vu. . . But nothing seemed to be adding up
Chapter 19.The news has been all over the school about the new leader of the class. But it didn't look like it because no one ever believed that the quiet cute guy in the class would turn out to lead the big boys, even if the big guys never liked it one bit. It remained to see what would become of him when the real challenge came. . . If he was going to run for his dear life or stand back with the help of a few good friends and fight.Shawn was just the perfect one for the job as his teacher had rightly told him, but there were conditions he never told Shawn; just maybe Shawn would have declined the offer if he did. He was new and no one would take that office knowing what they were going to go through was hell. But all Shawn cared about was the fame that came with it, and how he could end the clique of the bad guys forever. Something no one had ever succeeded at, not even the man who elected him. He had a tough time putting them in their place, and just maybe he saw something in Sh
Chapter 20It was a quiet morning in school with the sounds of birds chipping and squealing as they went in search of food and shelter for their young. For the first time, the school had been a bit quieter than it had ever been.Shawn had been walking heading to school after he had managed to convince his father to allow him to go instead of the convoys when he noticed that everywhere had been quiet. The whole school, and looked like no one had been there, because he had been told earlier that there was going to be a meeting between him and some of the students who had held such offices earlier before him."Have they closed already for the day?" Shawn asked, stretching forth his hands as he made sure to confirm he wasn't already late for school.It had been past 9 in the morning and there was no way he could be late, at least he knew this. . ."I have to find out for myself!" He uttered, shrugging his shoulders as he walked towards the block where he knew he might find someone to expl
Chapter 21Shawn had been taken to a building where he was being kept there. His hands and legs were both tied up to make sure he did not plan on escaping when he was awake. They had left him there, waiting for when he would wake up from his deep sleep. "Mhmm hmmm!" Shawn moaned in his sleep “Mhhm. . .nhmmm!" Shawn moaned in pain with his eyes still close.With his hands and legs unable to move, Shawn felt a huge pain in his body, like his hands had been bruised heavily by something. "What's this?" He whispered, trying to make sure he kept my eyes open but he couldn't see a thing. There was a veil over Shawn's head, and he couldn't see clearly."Where the hell. . ." He paused immediately once he heard voices murmuring heading his way."Where am I and what the hell I'm I doing here?" Shawn murmured, struggling to get the tight ropes off his wrist but it was just too strong and tight."Over there!" A voice uttered with a scoff and kept walking towards Shawn."I've heard this voice be
Chapter 22All around the school, all you could hear was the chattering and gossip everyone about Shawn and how he got attacked by a group of guys. The teachers had been waiting patiently for his return to hear the full story and who might have been involved in the atrocious act.Mike had been quiet the whole time. He made sure no word got out of his mouth no matter the pressure he got from his friends and teachers because he was the closest to Shawn. And at the time, Leah had just arrived at school to learn about what had just happened to Shawn.She walked around the crowd of students for a bit and quickly noted Mike who had been fiddling with his phone for a while."Hey, Mike. . . Is he okay!" She asked."Well, I guess he will be. . .""Where have you been by the way. . . I haven't set my eyes on you in what's like forever. . ." Mike said."Umm! I just had things to settle. . .""You mean the guy the other day?" Mike remembered."Come on! Please don't bring that up. Besides this is
Chapter 23Shawn had been set and ready to return to school. Everything had been ready for his return but it remained to see if he was going to be able to face the crowd of students waiting to film and ask an unnecessary question. . . And especially his haters jeering and mocking him.He had packed his bags and was about to leave when he was called back immediately."Son! You must let the driver take you," Shawn's mum said.It was the first time she spoke on his matter. It felt as though she had only let Shawn's father do the job for her this time."Okay, mum!" Shawn replied as he got into the car which had been already ready to move. In no time, they were almost at school."There!" Shawn pointed at the building as the driver drew closer and closer. He pulled over and Shawn got out to see Mike and Leah already waiting. He had a weird feeling because of the hug he had gotten from Leah the other day but he quickly waved it off."Are you ready?" Mike asked Shawn as he pointed to the crow
Chapter 24". . . Watch out, we are coming for you, and this time, there is no running, no escaping this time and surely there is no one coming to save you or your friends. . .!" The message felt unending, even in his sleep, it felt like he heard his voice speaking to him face to face. It was the scariest moment in his life, but at some point, he knew nothing would happen to him if he told Pedro or his dad, because they would do anything in their power to make sure that he was safe and no harm came to him. But at the same time, Shawn never wanted to tell his dad all of his plans. . . He never wanted to discuss his personal life with him even though he felt a bit safer. He always knew who his father was, a protective kind of father because he was the only son he had. . . At least that is what he was told and grew up to know."SPLASH!!" Water suddenly poured over Shawn's face waking him up from his deep sleep."Uhh, what is that?" He yelled trying to wipe his eyes. He made his way out
