View MoreDude we're gonna be late"
"I'm walking as fast as I can right now. Don't push it"
Hunter scoffed at Josh who was waddling like a penguin, his geeky glasses slightly askew on his face, a sheen of sweat glistening on his face.
Josh had a thing with neatness, he couldn't bear being dirty. He didn't play like normal children, act like normal children or ask questions like normal children.
Like yesterday, he asked his mother why the lightning glared across the sky before the horrid thunder stroke.
The puzzled mother told him it acted as a warning so we would know if thunder was gonna strike soon.
Josh, his best friend since seven was a little overweight and wasn't helping matters at the moment.
"Hurry up. Look Zoe's waiting". Sure enough Zoey Chase was waiting impatiently for them.
"What are you guys? Ducks?" Zoey asked, tapping her foot on the sidewalk.
Zoey was shorter than Hunter, had hazel colored eyes and was African Asian.
"Josh caused it"
Josh huffed and panted his way over "Was...late...sorry"
"Whatever. Let's just go, the buses is gone now"
Hunter, Josh and Zoey trekked silently under the few rays of the sun and made it to school six minutes before the bell rang.
They all went to their lockers, Hunter's and Zoey's were three lockers apart while Josh had his near the end of the rows of lockers in the hallway.
Josh took out his Biology notes and the project he spent all night working on, and shoved his backpack inside his locker. As he slammed the locker shut, he could sense someone or something behind him.
He gulped.
He didn't need two guesses to guess right.
He turned around and towering over him was Brent and his clique who did all his biddings and all but worshipped the ground he stood on.
"If it isn't little smarty pants"
"I wanna ge...get to class ppl-ease" Josh stammered
"Hey, whats that?" he asked,.pointing at his biology project.
"My science project"
"Gimme that" Brent snarled as he snatched it away from his hands.
"Nooo" Josh pleaded "please, I need it for class"
Brent handed the handwritten brochure to Cory, one of his minions.
"Here, read it to me". Cory launched into a self acclaimed speech about frogs and their oscillatory behavior of their pharynx producing special sounds and signals vibrating inside the water to attract mates for reproduction.
Brent yawned. "Boring. But, I'm keeping it."
Josh whined. "That's not fair, then what will I submit in class?"
"Make do with this". Another disciple, Jake, thrust a ratty piece of paper at him.
At that moment, the bell rang for first period, and the boys ran away. At first, hr thought it was because they were eager to get to class but looking back, he was wrong.
So Josh did what curious kids do best and he opened the paper thrust forcefully at his hands, he was dumbfounded.
"Clear the halls people. Principal coming through". Sure enough, Principal H. Rockwell (Nobody knew his first name but they were guessing it went in the ranks of Dicky) barreled through the few lingering students loitering the halls and stood beside Josh, brandishing a megaphone.
Then he yelled in Josh's ear. "Why aren't you in class!!" through the mega phone.
Josh jumped and his books and the sheet of paper fell to the ground.
"I'm really, really sorry, principal, I was-". His heart skipped ten beats and flew into his mouth as the principal crouched and picked the paper up.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here". He said, scanning the paper showing the anatomy of a naked female species of the Genus, Homo sapiens complete with sketchy labels including "tits" ( seriously, what the hell are those ) and other things which an eight grader shouldn't be seeing...yet.
"Holy Incarnation" Principal Rockwell screamed, his eyes wide, saucer-like.
"Where did you get this?"
"I uhh, i-" Josh gulped.
"Doesn't matter. Young man I want to see you in my office ASAP". The principal said.
"What are you all looking at?" He screamed at some ninth graders who hurried away as fast as they could, away from the principal's sharp tongue and even worse: detention. They whistled to themselves, sure of their next object of ridicule at lunch.
Josh found his way to the principal's office, a tear slipping away from his eye.
Meanwhile...
📚📚📚📚📚📓📑📚📚
In class, Hunter was casting what he thought was discrete guesses at Ashley. He'd liked Ashley since she transferred schools to H.G Wells Junior/High school.
Ashley was white, had enchanting blue eyes and shoulder length blonde hair which she curled.
Ahh....
If I could just bask in her heavenly presence, he thought.
Why is it that she never glances my way? Hunter sighed frustrated. What do I even feel this way? What is this?
All his questions went unanswered as his mind was blank.
Mr. Bryant cleared his throat. "Ahem, Hunter, if you're done looking at miss Ashley over there, can you answer the question on the board.
Hunter turned bright red and kept his face straight so Ashley who was seating at his side wouldn't see.
Unfortunately she already had.
This is not just my day.... Hunter thought
🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔
While students filtered out of the classes and filled the halls trying to get to their next class, Hunter held back.
Mr. Bryant was packing his lesson notes and things inside his bag when Hunter went to his desk.
"Sir about Ashley" the teacher looked up "I think I kinda like her"
"You think? You were paying attention more to her than my lesson". He chided.
"I'm sorry, I just want to ask you for advise"
"Really? For what?" Mr. Bryant asked evasively.
"Should I approach her? Tell her my feeling's?"
"Love is in here" he said patting Hunter's chest. "You'll know when its the right time".
"When is it going to be the right time?"
"That's up to you to decide". The teacher said before leaving the class leaving Hunter to think about what he just said, his mind glazing over his options
Soapsuds trailed behind him as he walked back into the bathroom to finish his left over bath. His bath didn't seem so sweet after all. He turned the shower on, and the cold droplets of water ran down his back in seconds. He felt as if he could feel the life of a particular droplets slip past.He shuddered upon increasing the shower. He sure hadn't felt the cold before Andrew came in, he was sure. His mood had suddenly turned from happy to sour. He ruffled his soapy head and washed his torso. He scrubbed his skin down angrily and watched as his arm turned red. He splashed some water on his face, hesitating when it came to his lips, reminiscing about how he'd kissed Ashley with those same lips.He switched on the higher and watched the soap flakes disapear down his body in puddles, then disapearing down the drainage hole. Finished, he took his towel and wiped himself dry. He tied the towel on his waist. He pushed the door open, approached his wardrobe and threw out some casual clothes on
Josh was back in the hospital with a lunch bag containing two hot dogs and a burger which had stripped lettuce inside."Thanks" Mrs. Grimshaw said as she pushed herself up on the bed. "I could smell it from outside. Wait. Let me guess" she said as Josh passed her the lunch bag. "Uhhhm. There's a burger inside, right?" she guessed."Yes. Guess again""Pizza" Josh's smile brightened."Congratulations. You just failed the quiz"Mrs. Grimshaw's smile dropped. "What a killjoy" she muttered. She opened the lunch bag and munched hungrily on the hot dog. "How sure are that it isn't Rex that's this?" he asked."It may or may not be him. How does Rex taste anyway? Have you snuck a bite off him before?""Brave. I agree. Spicier. I couldn't agree more" They laughed in systematic harmony."Mom, how did you that Mr. Preston is my dad?" He asked curiosly."Once day your dad went gambling and tried cheating some people out of thei
Her eyelids blinked slowly and her short eyelashes blinked rapidly in consternation at the blinding light. It stung her eyes, leaving behind a trail of peppery liquid oozing out of her eyes. After getting used to the light, she looked around the room. By pressing her hand on the bed, she could tell that she was lying on a firm mattress. The wall was white and the blinds hanging from the windows had the same shade of white. An oxygen breather was covering her nose and mouth. She pulled it off, scrunching her nose at the smell of antiseptic soap and bleached walls. Fresh air suddenly wasn't so fresh after all.A glance at her body told her that she was in a hospital bed which also meant that she was in a hospital. She was clad the a spotted white hospital gown. Her hand was hooked to an IV drip and another machine monitored her heartbeat in synchronized steps.Beep..... A pause. Beep.... Another pause. Beep.A third pause...And on and on and on in a synchronized h
" Cocaine?"Zoey asked" You mean cocaine,as in the drug cocaine or a powder cocaine?"" Take a look"Hunter said, unveiling the packet of cocaine from his pocket.Zoey gasped, grabbing it from his hand and sniffing it."How did you know it's cocaine? It doesn't smell and this could be powder for all we know"she argued." If it was powder it would have fragrance, wouldn't it?"Chirag asked." I guess"Zoey said" Hunter's mom has already confirmed that it is cocaine"Josh countered." You say what now?"Zoey quipped."My little brother Andrew showed it to her, so I'm now grounded for a year."Hunter said glumly."Cheer up"Chirag said"Ashley could be passing by right now for all we know.""Really? Hunter asked, dragging his feet to the window.He facepalmed."Forgot I'm in a treehouse.He turned back and glared at Chirag.Chirag smiled cheekly."Two things" Chirag said, raising her index and middle finger up."One.How did Jerry get this c
???????????The phone line rang there times before a man picked it up, his movements were slow and precise and he didn't appear in a hurry to pick up the phone"Hello. Mr Toby Grant speaking....???????????" Phew!" Josh said. "That was a close call Josh says coming to a halt."Chirag what do you see?" Hunter asked "The principal said Jerry's body is in one St. John's morgue."Where may that be?" Zoey wondered. "I didn't there was a morgue in Westlake"." How come I haven't heard of it before?" Chirag asked. Zoey rolled her eyes." You've been here only a month, that's why" she replied "okay this is the end of the road guys" Zoey said giving Hunter and Josh brief side hugs."Bye" she said waving to them. "Bye" they waved back to her and Chirag." Been a long time I heard about Ashley" Josh smirked. Hunter blushed. " Well I soon ask her out" he said."Why don't you ask her on a date" J
" Chirag, wait a minute" Hunter said. "What about that stuff you told me in school. I still haven't understood it. One minute, Zoey tells me a kid called Jaden slumped in the Economics class, now you're saying someone else died in that same class?"" It could just be a misunderstood rumor. Maybe they thought Jaden died because he was carried by the students". Josh suggested." I don't think it is" Chirag defended. " I heard it from Dorathy". The boys groaned collectively." Dorathy?" Zoey asked in disbelief. " Dorathy is the biggest talkative in school. 99% of the things she says aren't true. If Dorathy tells the truth, then I'm the queen of England. Do you know last year she spread a rumor that she saw the principal and a senior alone in his office after school hours? She almost got herself expelled"." She didn't look like she was lying" Chirag countered." As if you'd know if someone was lying even if it was right in front of you" Hunter muttere
The throng of other recruited janitors fill the halls as they burst the balloons and bag them in huge trash bags. The loud burst of the huge balloons keep interrupting the teachers in mid sentence. Frustrated lines are creased onto Mrs Julia Roberts's face and Hunter is very sure he can spot a few gray hairs on her head. Economics class was no child's play. Mrs. Roberts was interrupted every now and then by the sporadic 'pop' sound the balloons made as they burst. In her hands was a large marker which she used to draw illustrations of the board to enunciate her point. The economics class was very quiet today. Mrs. Roberts was known to be very tongue lashing with her words. Her outward appearance was plain mean. She was in her late thirties and as far as Zoey knew, she always wore matching suit and skirt to school. She was on the lean side of tall and sported blond hair pulled tightly into a bun. Today's topic was Inflation which she had made sure to circle round on the markerboard. "Be
Hunter is already at Hunter's treehouse earlier than they agreed thinking about nothing and everythingSchool... His scholarship...His friends....Their life in grinding poverty...Finding a jobThe thing was, times were tough and jobs were scarce. He'd wanted to look for a job before but the neighbourhood grocer, Mr Miller had discouraged him, saying he was too little to get a job.But then, he'd seen Kenny, a neighbour kid who was exactly his age and who lived one block away riding his bike every morning delivering newspapers to people's doorsteps, his search intensified.It didn't have to be a well paying job, if he was at least able to take some pressure off his mom, then he was okay with it. Only the Lord knows how hard it is for her. A single mom with three kids.The ladder leading to the penthouse leaned and rattled and Hunter forced his thoughts away from his troubles to the entrance of
The door opened just as Hunter was about to finish his sentence. A tall, lanky nurse stepped into the room. She was dressed in a knee length, nurse uniform complete with a matching flat cap. She didn't look friendly."Is he awake?" She asked.Zoey nodded yes."I'll have to ask you girls to wait outside. I want to do some checkups".Reluctantly, Zoey pushed up from her seat. Ashley wasn't ready to go out yet but the stern look on the nurse's face simulated her body upwards.
