Chapter 3 03

Early in the morning, Adam ran as fast as his legs could carry him down the stairs. It looked as though he was really happy to go to school.

His Mon was so shocked as she did not know what had happened to him. "How was your night," she asked awaiting his response.

Adam was looking at the mirror and did not notice that his mom was talking to him. "Adam" she called again at the top of her voice.

Adam turned around and looked at his mom's face. "Good morning mom," he said with a huge smile on his face.

"I'll get ready for school," he said still wearing the big smile on his face. He ran up the stairs to his room to get ready for school.

In less than no time, Adam was back well dressed and still looking happy. "Why are you looking so bright this morning?" His mother asked looking surprisingly at him.

"Nothing" came his reply. Adam ate his food as fast as he could and took off to Theo's house. He knocked waiting for him to come out.

"That must be Adam," Theo said to his father who was taking him to school. He rushed to get to the door.

"What's up Adam," he said as they had their secret handshake. "Come and join us my dad is taking me to school today," Theo said with a big smile on his face.

Adam was happy with the offer. He went into Theo's house. In less than no time they came out together with Theo's father.

The boys jumped into the back seat as Theo's father drove them to school. On the way Adam tapped Theo.

"What if your guardian angel?". "What about it?" Theo asked looking surprised. "Do you think of the good you can achieve with your guardian angel?"

"What are you talking about?" Theo asked still looking surprised. He did not expect Adam to be so interested in this Guardian Angel. Nevertheless, he had a feeling that this Will happen.

This was also one of the reasons why he did not want to let Adam know about his guardian angel.

"We could take out the bullies together with the help of your guardian angel," He said still smiling at Theo.

"We should not be having this discussion, Adam," Theo said with a tone of finality. Adam knew that face and stopped asking about Tho's guardian angel.

He later turned to Theo still smiling. "We will continue with this discussion," he said looking very happy. Before they knew it they were at the school's gate. They waved goodbye to Theo's father as they stepped out of the car.

As they walked into the school Theo remembered the bullies. He looked at Adam and saw that he was really excited. They tried to figure out why Adam was smiling but did not get any clear reason why.

He decided not to spoil Adam's happy mood with the memories of the bullies. They moved into the class only to find out that it was very quiet.

Theo paused to look around so as not to fall into a trap. Adam pushed him out getting into the class.

It was then he discovered that he has entered into a trap. Adam sat down on his seat and let out a scream.

At this point, the whole class was roaring with laughter. Even Theo could not help with the laughter.

"What are you laughing at?"Jack asked looking angrily at Theo. "I wasn't laughing "Theo answered with a very shaky voice.

"Move to your seat now" Jack ordered. "Am okay with where I am" he replied still with a shaky voice.

Jack ran to him so as to get him to his seat. He held Theo by the collar and was shaking him furiously.

Theo feeling absurd drive his right clenched fist right into Jack's jaw and ran away. "You'll come back here for sure," Jack said trying to hide the pain he felt.

Theo came back with the English language teacher. Mrs. Stacy was the English language teacher. She was also very fond of Adam and Theo.

One of the reasons for this was because they were the smallest boys in the class. Theo was also the brightest person in the class.

He was brighter than Adam who was an average student. This was one of the reasons why the bullies disliked him.

Once they offered him the opportunity to join them. Theo rejects this offer "I prefer to stick with Adam than to be with you" Was his reply.

This also made the bullies dislike Adam. The two have been inseparable since 3rd grade. They hope to carry their friendship for more years to come.

As Mrs. Stacy entered into the class she perceived that all was not well. "Adam" she called looking in his direction.

Adam was crying with his face down as he did not want anyone to notice that he was crying. "What's happening to your friend," she asked Theo.

"Jack and his crew played a prank on him" came his reply as he was looking in the direction where they sat. The billies headed by jack occupied the back seats.

They made sure that no other student sat beside them. Among the bullies was a very intelligent boy by the name of Grayson.

He just joined the bullies recently. This was because he got tired of being bullied by them.

"Grayson are you also among those notorious boys?" Mrs. Stacy asked looking at him with a look of surprise.

Grayson bowed his head and did not let out a word. Not minding him, Mrs. Stacy comforted Adam and moved on with the class for the day.

"I hate that woman," Jack said looking at Grayson. Grayson was known as 'the wise man' as this was what Jack called him.

From the time he joined the bullies, he has been helping Jack and others with their assignments. This was the only thing he had to do while with them.

Mrs. Stacy noticed a discussion taking place among the bullies. She called out to them separating them From seating next to each other.

This made the bullies, even more, angrier as they had to seat in the midst of others who they saw to be the smallies as that was the name they called those who were not among them.
