Chapter 2 - CHAPTER II

Mr Frank said smiling ,after thinking for like one minute,Noble said "is it time"

"That's wrong "Mr Frank said "try again,you have one more try,then you fail"

Almost immediately as if he has attained realization he rose his head and said "tommorow, you are tommorow"

At this Mr Frank raised his head and smiled"that is correct"

"The next question" Mr Frank said ""There are two doors,one leads to a place of pain and suffering,

while the other leads to a place of enjoyment,

A demon is beside one door and she always lies,while the angel is beside the other door and she always tells the truth , 

the two ladies both angel and demon looks identical 

How will you pick the door of enjoyment if you are allowed to ask just one question"

 when Mr Frank finished cold sweat ran down everyone's neck, because this riddle was technically almost unsolvable.

Mr Frank knew this too but still asked Noble ,"I'll give you ten opportunities to try ,so take your time" 

Mr Frank said as he turned to sit down ,The weird part of this all was the face of the one being asked the question,

instead of having a face panicking Noble had this really calm face,he then cracked this index finger, smiled and said 

" If I were given a chance to ask only one question,I will walk up to any of the ladies and I would ask

 "where is your house "?,there is the solution,the demon will tell lies by pointing at the angels house,

and if it were the angel I asked ,she will point at her house too ,either way I win "

After Noble finished speaking,he smiled,Mr Frank was clearly surprised,that he clearly underestimated the boy

Yet how he calmly answered the question,it reminded him of when he was still young ,how sharp the young mind is 

"You never fail to amaze me Noble"Mr Frank said while resting his palm on Noble's shoulder,

at this point silence filled the class but a single persons clapped and the others instinctively

 followed and began clapping their hands

Noble was surprised and was snapped back to reality by the sound of the clap as he was really sweating and 

slightly dizzy because of the mental draining questions Mr Frank asked

 " Take your seat Mr Frank said as he signalled Noble",

Noble could hardly feel his legs at this point though the quiz only too 30mins

"I should really work on my stamina "Noble said as he sat down at the final row,

the back seat beside Erun "you never cease to amaze me "Erun said with a broad smile on his face 

 Noble just smiled back "Now class since Noble is present and we have marked all in 

attendance I would not be teaching today because we have used up all our time",

 Mr smiled looking at Noble's direction, "but as you all know your final exams are coming in a week's time 

and you need to prepare so as always I'll be giving you your areas of concentration"

 Mr Frank said pulling up a long piece of paper from the black text book and he said "listen attentively,

I will only say this once at this everyone brought out their books to write down ,first you all should read up on 'the theory of relativity ',then...

 And that's all for the class I wish you all success on he upcoming exams,

Mr Frank said as he packed his books to leave .And then another teacher came to teach ,then another,

And another and that's how the day went by untill three O'clock in the evening when the bell for school closure was rang.

The end of the school was every students favorite part of the school time table,that and lunch break,

every student would agree , everyone began parking their bags,

discussing with their friends as they made their way outside the classroom .

"Yo chubs,are you ready to get your ass beaten again by me "Erun said as he gave Noble a slight jab to his shoulder

"Naa not today ,

I am really tired I have to go home "Noble said ,but we agreed it's Thursday,

the game shop would be free and Silvia would be there" Erun said raising his eyebrows up and down hoping to convince Noble .

*Now Sylvia was this dark pretty igbo girl who was 5'7 in height worked as an attendant at the arcade,

Noble had a crush on her because apart from her really big bust she was a gamer who loved anime,

had this really pretty smile and very super friendly.

Noble smiled and said,I'm really tired,I would have loved to game go on without me,

you could take some of the guys in class, they would literally beg you just to play with them

You who is known as the god of gamers "Noble said as he laughed,"but no one gives me as much

competition as you do ,you make gaming interesting"Erun said

I know...

I know what can you do without me just take someone else ,and don't miss me too much"Noble said blowing Erun a kiss.

"Ewwww "Erun said backing off

all these happened as they were walking out of the school building

With other students ,

"Look that's Zack he is a worthy challenge for you,

Noble said pointing at a dark skinned boy on glasses and low hair cut ,I do admit Zack ,

well he is a temporary replacement for you "Erun said while going towards Zack.

"As much as that I would love to stay and chat but I'll be on my way now,I will chat you up latter "

Noble said as he extents his right hand to shake Erun

"Yea latter chubs"Erun said as he shakes Noble and then they both round their fists up as they jam their knuckles together twice,

and while one person hits the other ones rounded fist from the top the other hits it from under lightly

"pawww!!"they both say as they moved their fingers away from each other with a smile on their faces .

"Zack ! Zack ! Erun runs as he holds his Zack's shoulder from behind"

"would you like to join me to the arcade"

"Yes....of..course ..I..I... thought..yo...you... would.... neve..r ..ask" Zack said stammering

"Cool"

"Bye Noble" Erun said as he turned to wave Noble ,Noble smiled and nodded his head and watched Erun and Zack leave,

"Hah!"Noble heaved a sigh of relief as he proceeded to walk home quietly,

his house was about a 30minutes walk from the school and well be decided to walk home,

he does this to think and clear his mind.
