Hearing that there will be no fee attached to the lesson majority of the students were happy,

because not all of them were from rich background. Those that are from rich background can tell their parents to get them someone that will be able to prepare them for the examination,so hearing Mr Edward saying he will be conducting a lesson they were happy and some even take the initiative to ask him when he will be taking the lesson and time to which he gave them answer that was okay with them.

After Mr Edward was done with the announcement he left the hall.the moment Mr Edward left the hall Alex and his friends left their sit and went to stood in front of a student who was sitting close to Frank, signaling him to get up fir him to sit down. knowing that if he did not agree to do as he was told will make him enemy with him he quickly got up and went to sit at their sit. Alex and his sat down before turning to Frank " Frank about the party arrangement are you really not going to pay"

Knowing that Alex is here to cause trouble, John respond to hi word before Frank could say a word. "Frank is going to pay alright".

"I don't remember telling you am going to pay" said Frank to John in a low voice.

Seeing that John is not playing along with what John said Alex started laughing before turning to John. "Are you trying to cover up him so that he can avoid being embarrassed".

Frank became annoyed when he saw the way Alex is acting and looking for ways to insult him, Frank shot back at him. "Are you saying I pay the fee that will be given to me or what, just because your father is rich and will be able to pay your fee early does not give you the right to look down on us".

"Your father is rich go thank your God, but are you not ashamed of yourself that with all the richest you are boosting about we are both at the same level"said Frank and staring at Alex.

The hall went quiet when they heard Frank was talking back to Alex, they know he to be the type of person that was know different from a mute when you are trying to fun of him so why is it that today the mute finally talk back to Alex. They all turn their gaze at them to see where there argument will lead to.

Seeing that Frank was talking back at him make Alex angry and he also fight back." Do you think because we are at the same level we are now equals huh Frank"asked Alex .

Hearing what Alex just said makes Frank laughed before saying. "Of course we are not equals, how can I classify myself as an equal with a fool who knows nothing other than to brag about his father's riches".

Hearing Frank calling him a fool make Alex really angry to the stage of even erupting.

"Did you just call me a fool, hahahaa, I can believe a low life like you can still have the gust to call me a fool"Said Alex while turning to his friends and laughing with them.

"Are you laughing at your stupidity " asked Frank when he noticed that Alex do not have any words to say.

"You are the one that is laughing at his stupidity, you worthless thing"replied Alex.

"Same with the word, since you don't have anything to say is better you leave or do you want me to leave to save some face"asked Frank while get is bag in preparation to leave the hall and go out to play with John since there is still time before their is over.

Seeing that Frank was really going to leave Alex wanted to say something but could not think of anything and he gave up at the same time his hate for Frank also went up by another level.

Alex got up and left the hall with his friends meanwhile John who sat close to Frank was surprised to see Frank facing off with Alex and at the same time he beat Alex at his own game, he also knew that for Frank to talk back at Alex will also come with a consequence and he quickly told Frank to sit and he started telling Frank to mind the way he should behave since he has offended Alex , he and his friends are going to try their very best to get back at Frank in threefold.

They talk for some time before leaving the hall to play before they could leave the hall a student called them and walk to them. He look to be at the same age as them but was a little shorter than them, when he got the where they were standing, greeted then before introducing himself. "Hi am Raphael which might know"said Raphael.

"We your name, so why did you called"asked John .

"I was hoping if I could tag along with you guys since you guys are going to play"replied Raphael feeling embarrassed
