GEM

When I didn't reply he tied my neck under his armpits and squeezed like a version of bro hug.

"Say you miss me briefcase or I'll be sad and sad me is a angry me." he asked again mimicking a baby's sound.

"Yes I did miss you. A lot. I felt like I was going to die with you" I coughed out

He finally let go and hugged me... STOPPED

"I missed you too." he replied like we were long lost besties

"Who released you from your dungeon" I grumbled low enough so he wouldn't be able to hear

"What'd you say? I thought I heard dungeon." he asked in a sarcastic tone meaning he had definitely heard what I'd say.

"Nothing at all. I was just say I miss you alot." I said while smiling sheepishly.

Between the exchange of words and all I forgot that I had been rushing to the assembly ground.

"Ahhhhhh principal Mike would kill me. I'm dead."

I complained while wondering the heinous punishment I'd recieve for being late. I continued complained and turned to Ramsey only to that he had been staring at me intently with her eyebrows drawn together and his eyes squinted.

"Firstly why are you so worried about missing the morning assembly and secondly only I have the right to kill you. Nobody else" he stated.

I took in a deep breath and released it,well no wonder her was sent away in the first place and whoever thought a boarding school would kill the rebellious spirit obviously didn't think about it thoroughly because it seemed the rebel in him had grown bigger than before.

"Watch and learn BC(briefcase)."

He stated and dragged my back from,held my hands and began to drag me towards the assembly hall, my eyes went to the clock and I saw that we were already 30 minutes late and the punctual students in me began to struggle with being dragged to the assembly at such a late hour but moving Ramsey backwards was like moving a mountain so I resigned to my gate and allowed him to continue dragging me till we got to the entrance of the hall and we entered. Unluckily for me the moment we enter the principal was just giving the days announcement so even a pin drop would've been heard in the hall,the moment we entered all attention was drawn to us like a moth to a flame. The student that remembered Ramsey all looked in awe probably because the king was back,they didn't spare a glance at me because seeing him dragging me around wasn't new to them atleast,

....but to the students that hadn't seen him they were perplexed. I dared raise my head and my eyes met with the principal's eyes,he was livid and I jerked in fear, Ramsey followed the direction of my eyes and he called out.

"Heyyo Mr M how have you been."

He asked in the most informal tone you could ever think of. It's was an indirect insult.

Murmurs began to break out. Some persons weren't surprised but others were. The principal only fumed more and replied.

"Mrs Micheal in my office now!!!!!" he thundered out.

Ramsey only burst out laughing like a crazy lunatic and replied.

"Why only her? we'll both come" he said

The principal walked off while still fuming and we joined the assembly as another teacher took over. All the assembly we were dismissed to our various classes. SS3A was the science class, SS3B for the social science class and SS3C was the art class. I had hoped and prayed that the devil would end up in B or C but it seemed my prayers weren't heard cos he ended up in A and placed his bench behind mine after scaring of Timi that sat behind me.

I could only image how many plans he had up his sleeves to ruin my senior year. The principal had sent for me through one of the prefects but when he saw Ramsey he scurried away. At lunch period Ramsey left after telling me he had only came to fill some forms and submit some requirements that he'd be fully resuming thee following week. Internally I was jumping for joy because atleast I had few days to prepare to counter all his bullies,but I replied anyways while sounding like I was crushed which he'd figure out.

"Oh precious Ramsey how I'd miss you today." I mockingly profess the opposite of my feelings

"Oh BC I'll be with you soon don't miss me too much." he replied in the same sarcastic tone

We continued exchanging words to mock each other and see who gets tired first, for one I haven't been this worked out and disorganized in a very long time,only this crazy big had the ability to. While we argued I saw Davidson walking in front my corner eye and I turned to admire what I see in my dreams everyday,a tall and a lanky brown skin boy. I've had a crush on David for the longest time,didn't know when it started or how it grew,while I was still daydreaming and smiling into space he was heading for me. When he got to me he saw his brother standing behind me.

"Errrgggghh Ramsey arrived since Sunday and I wanted to inform you before he came to school and take you by surprise but it seems I'm already too late" he stated sheepishly while scratching his neck.

I wanted to reply sweetly and probably thank him for the consideration but Ramsey beat me to it.

"Why would you need to warn her about my arrival? as give clearly seen we've always been buddies. Right?"

He asked and I wouldn't refused but though his voice was firm and straight it shook at a point. Did I imagine it or did he actually wanted to be friends?

"Yes we're buddies." I rolled my eyes and replied to spare his feelings that I probably just imagined

"Ok then no problem, I just thought you'd be scared of him with everything he put you through with bullying and all" he stated

Ok any informed I probably forgot to drop,the Emmanuel brothers has always been on each other's neck, whether for toys while they were growing up,gadgets and I heard they ones had a fight because of girl. So though I want directly offended they both were trying to use me as a medium to start I fight.

"Hey guy cool off..I'm fine." I shouted out to ease tension.

"Davidson I'm fine ,I can take care of my self ." I continued as he walked out of the classrooms to his.
