"Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, you look like a monkey and you smell like one too" sang a lady to her nephew . "Wow um thanks aunt Lisa this is amazing" said the boy. "Happy birthday Raymond here's your present" she handed him a small box " You really didnt have too" said Raymond "Thank you aunt lisa now if you excuse me I have to get to school". His aunt sprung to her feet " oh right.. well hurry up you cant be late" . Raymond walked to door , as he was about to step out his aunt called him " Ray remember to have a great day ok" he replied to her with a smile on his face " always aunty" . Raymond walked out to the bus said his hellos to the driver and sat next to his best friend Desmond. "Yo what's up birthday boy" said Desmond , Raymond with an annoyed look on his face replied "What's so good about it birthdays are basically reminding you that your one year closer to death" . " Cant argue with that logic, but hey atleast you gotta some fun" replied Desmond . "I guess your right Desmond , but if you mention happy birthday one more time I will whoop your ass" , with a jokey look on his face Desmond replied to Raymond " Shut up you beat me up now that's funny". "Let's just drop the topic and get to school" said Raymond as he pulled out his phone and earpiece to listen to some music. The bus took another 9 minutes to reach the school , the boys stepped off the bus and made their way into the school building. Raymond and Desmond made their way to their lockers " Ugh History first period boring" said desmond "bam" the sound of Derek scott slamming Desmonds face to the locker "Hey Desmond what's up you got my lunch money ?" .
"No I dont and it's not your money" Desmond struggled to push Derek back. "Come Derek leave Desmond alone your such an asshole" Raymond pulled him off of Desmond " Oh so you want to fight now ok then come Mr young". Raymond was not in the mood for violence " I dont want to fight you let's just go to class" . "Bam!" the sound of Derek's hand punching the locker , Raymond thought to himself "How did I dodge that ?" before he could get his answer Derek fired another punch this time Ray caught it .The students around them stopped and circled them interested to see what would happen next . Frustrated , Derek kept firing punches missing all of them "What are you a freak still so I could punch you" just then Raymond fired a punch of his own "crash" Derek fell to the floor . The kids around them went into a frenzy all at once they cheered " Raymond Raymond Raymond! " . Desmond stood over Derek and made fun of him " Damn son you jus got knocked the Fu.." before desmond could finish his line "Young, Scott and Singh to my office now!" shouted principal Higgins. "Mr Yound your one of our top students yet still you are getting in to fight". Raymond could see that Mr. Higgins was dissapointed "sir I didnt start the fight Derek threw the first punch" . " so that gave you the right to punch him ?" . Before Raymond could answer the principal the bell rung" Get to class for the rest of the month you three will be on sanitation duty", Desmond stood up in shock " but sir what did I do ?" , "You were about to use indecent language weren't you ?" , "um yes sir" said desmond with a dissapointed look on his face. "Come on Desmond let's go to class".History class wasnt all that boring this morning well atleast not for Raymond ."Ok class you have a pair assignment so pair up". Raymond and Desmond looked over at one another " Oh yeah " . "Nuh uh Mr young and Desmond you guys will not be pair , Desmond you go with Derek and Raymond your partnering up with Cruz". "Bro your getting paired with cruz dont you have a crush on her ?" asked Desmond . " Will you be quiet", Raymond attempted to shush Desmond ,"dude just invite her over for studying". Raymond although he was reluctant at first agreed to it "I'll speak to her after class"
(Thirty Minutes later )
Raymond walked over to Cruz's desk "Hey umm I was wondering if you can come over by me to discuss the assignment ? " . She looked at him with a smile on her face "sure I'll be there by 6:30" . "Ok see you at 6:30", Raymond walked over to Desmond. " Bro you got a date" , "Its not a date we are just studying now let's get to maths class ok"
