Since the couple have left, the students began to dispersed one after another.
Seeing people dispersing, John decided to leave to.
As he turned around to enter the school gates, someone suddenly put his hands on his shoulders. Since he was caught off guard, he became alert and almost flipped the person over but he calmed down when he heard Kevin's voice
"Wow bro, I can't believe that you are the same John that I knew. You looked like someone else, I could barely recognize you. I'm i right guys?" Asked Kevin while looking at Joseph and Paul for confirmation.
They both nodded their heads agreeing to what Kevin said.
It just so happened that Kevin, Joseph and Paul were also present and watched what has happened and were pleasantly surprised with how John handled the couple because if it was the John from before he might have just stood there and do nothing and allowed himself to be humiliated.
"Hey bro, you have changed but I don't know what happened to you but I like this new you" Joseph added.
John just shook his head but he didn't say anything.
He just took out his phone and texted "Good job" to James. After that he followed his friends and they walked towards the classroom.
As they were heading towards the classroom, Paul suddenly said "Hey did anyone noticed that the Class head was also watching?"
"Hump" Kevin snorted and added "while we were busy worrying about our friend you were instead busy looking at girls?"
"Of course I was worried about him but at the same time I couldn't miss the opportunity to admire those beauties around me. You know I like admiring beautiful girls and that's how I saw her. In fact our class head beauty is way too obvious that you don't even need to strain your eyes to notice her." Paul said.
Kevin patted Paul on his shoulder and said "yes you are right about her beauty but she is out of your league. You are way too ugly for her. Among all of us only John maybe qualified to be with her because he his the most handsome and most intelligent person among the four of us. Looking at it again that's something he shared in common with our class head Handsome and intelligent just like her."
John suddenly laughed "Hahahaha, you are right about that"
"What do you mean?" Kevin asked in surprise.
"I said I agree with what you said about me being handsome and intelligent. I'm way too handsome don't you think so?" John said this with a serious expression.
When his friends heard what John said, they all exclaimed in surprise. In fact Joseph almost tripped and fell and said "what did you just say? Why didn't I noticed that you were this shameless before?"
John quickly retorted "I'm being a realist. Ok tell me aren't I handsome?"
"You are just being shameless" Joseph added.
When he said that the other two friends laughed and they continued to walk towards the classroom.
Why John was in a happy mood, Jacob who was lying in a hospital bed was not so happy.
"He is a liar, mom John is lying. He asked someone to break my legs. I'm sure he asked someone to make that phone call as well. Ah i want him dead, I want him dead for what he did to me" this was Jacob screaming loudly in the hospital ward after his parents narrated what happened to him.
Seeing his son so agitated, Benjamin said "calm down I will see what I can do"
Aunty Clara suddenly shouted "No is not about seeing what you can do. You must do something. Look at your son lying there and he might not be able to walk properly again and all you have to say is that you will see what you will do?. You must do something to him. I want it done now. I can't believe that that lowlife is too much for you to handle. He's just a single person. Don't tell me you are hesitating because you still think that he is your nephew. If he was really your nephew then why would he have done that to Jacob knowing fully well that they are cousins. He didn't think twice before ordering someone to break Jacob's leg. So why do you still see him as family?. He's no family to us but an ungrateful bastard".
Caroline quickly chimed in "yes Dad, Mom is right. For Him to have done that means that he doesn't consider us as family . Ok let just say that he's mad at Jacob for what he claimed Jacob did to him but by breaking his leg isn't it too much of a price to pay considering the fact he is his cousin. He is just heartless. Dad you must make him rot in jail for the rest of his life"
Jacob suddenly shouted and was shivering all over to make his lie look more convincing "he is lying. I didn't do what he accused me of doing. He beat me up and forced me to make that video and as if that wasn't enough he send someone to break my legs. Mom please you must avenge. I might not be able to walk properly again. I want him to experience what I'm going through. Mom you will do that for me right?"
When Aunty Clara saw her precious son so agitated she said "calm down my precious son. Mom will make sure to avenge you. I will make sure that that useless good for nothing pauper pay for what he has done to you. I make sure he knows the immensity between heaven and earth and that for him to have done to this to you was his biggest mistake. Don't worry isn't he just John, a penniless pauper. Don't worry about handling him, I will bring him to you for you to have your revenge. Calm down mom is here". She said that in a soothing voice.
Jacob grinned inwardly said to himself "hmmmm John oh John just you wait, when I'm done with you, you won't even remember your own name. Just you wait I will make to repay you in hundred fold for what you have done to me"
The truth of the matter is that Jacob didn't tell his parents the truth about him hiring people from the Cold Heart gang to break John's leg and instead lied that John did this to him because he was taking revenge on him because of haven been chased out.
