CHAPTER 20. bullying the poor

Alex's friends did what they were told to do and shielded Frank from going out of the hall. Seeing that Alex was trying to cause another problem, Frank quickly turned to Alex and said "why are you doing all this, causing trouble will not benefits you in anyway".

Alex mouth twitched to what Frank just said before replying to his question with pride "the reason why am doing this is quite simple, I want to treat you a lesson that you will never forget in your life.

"You are forgetting something"said Frank while looking at Alex coldly.

"And what would that be"asked Alex while smiling.

"That this is not your home where you can do all you want without caring if you're going to be in trouble"replied Frank.

Hearing what Frank said makes Alex laugh out loud and his friends also follow suit, after laughing for a while Alex almost feel that his stomach hurts from laughing and he calm himself from laughing before saying to Frank "just because it's not my home does not mean that I will not be able to beat you black and blue until these morons you called friends will not be able to recognize you when am done with you".

Before Alex could make any move on Frank, Mr Edward came in to call Mary only to see some group of kids ganging up against a kid that is quite fond of and could not help to asked "and what the hell is going on here"

Seeing that a teacher is trying to interfere in their dealings Alex was just about to tell Mr Edward that they were just having a chat about their examination but he was a little slower than John who quickly replied with a worried look "sir Frank was just about to go out to play with us before he was blocked by Alex and his friends from going out and it seems like they are here to cause trouble".

Hearing that Alex and his friends were just trying to pick a fight with Frank while they were supposed to think of how they could prepare themselves for the coming examination makes Mr Edward furious and he glare at them before yelling at them to get out his sight before he gives them something to do that will make them busy since they don't have anything important to do other than to cause trouble. Alex quickly lead his friends and left the hall together but before leaving Alex turn to look at Frank in anger before shifting his gaze to look at John who just help Frank to escape from his hands and just nodded to him before finally leaving the hall with his friends to play at the playground. Meanwhile after Alex and his friends left the hall Frank left out a breath of relief before turning to face Mr Edward and thank him for helping him out from the troublesome richie's and Mr Edward just smiled in return and just gave him a little advice before looking around the room once and called out Mary to whom replied and follow the teacher to his office after Mr Edward left the hall John and Frank other friends ran to him and asked him about how he is feeling to wish he just replied casually.

"This is what we meant when we say you should stay away from Alex and his friends thankfully Mr Edward came on else God knows what they could have done to you" said Ann the shy one among Frank friends who saw the way Frank was acting a if nothing has happened and reminded him of their warning.

"Well is not something serious so you don't need to worry yourself about it"said Frank with a slight smile on his face.

"How can you say not it is not a serious matter when you were almost beaten up if not for Mr Edward"said Elizabeth.

"I said it okay guys, am not afraid of him since it's not his home, he cannot anything other than uttering nonsense from his stinky mouth"replied Frank.

Seeing the way his best friend was still not understanding what the rest are trying to say and was not taking the matter serious, John shaked his head helplessly before saying to Frank "hey buddy what they are trying to say is that though this is not his home does not mean that he could not had you beaten infact he will and when the school get to know of it he deny ever laying his hands on you and he had a lot of friends that could support him unlike you who had every few friends".

When Frank heard what John just said he could not help but grumble before giving to his friends, although he's acting like he did not care about Alex but deep down his heart he was scared wit. When they saw that John has already knocked some sense into the dummy head Larry sigh in relief before reminding Frank to stay clear from Alex and his friends before they went out to play in the playground. They played for sometime before the school bell was rang for the kids to back to their hall and that play time over. After going back to their hall Frank was just about to sit down but before he could sit Alex who was sitting at the back tore a piece of paper from his notebook and divided it to a smaller size before folding it and put it in his mouth to cloth the folded paper with his saliva before bringing it out of his mouth and suck it into a straw and aim the scraw at Frank before shooting it at him. After sitting down Frank was just about rest his head on his desk but before he could, he was hit by something wet and stinky he reached out his hand to take it out and look at what it only to see a folded paper that was cover in saliva and he could not help but turn to look at where it came from only to see Alex laughing at him.
