His royal highness

Ashanti Fynn Adebayo

His walk charming and yet strong ,vivid and precise ,his walk was like a musical beat ,he swayed with rhythm ,his steps could be easily remembered yet not easily mastered .He walked through the corridors not stopping or changing his steps ,as soon as he turned he bumped into someone. This had never happened before but today of all days it had to happen. He staggered backwards and held on tightly on the figure that seemed to almost trip.

"Sorry,"she said her hair all over her face ,she raised her face and stared at him. She seemed sorry and shocked.

"Uhm sorry young lady ,"he said staring deep into her eyes, her eyes were familiar and something was off.

"It's okey,"she moved backwards causing him to stop staring and let her go ,she seemed to be in an awful mood,he moved away allowing her to pass, swiftly she walked away. He continued to walk to his destination ,as soon as he arrived in the rest room his phone rang.

"Mother,"he said sounding bored,he knew what his mom was about to say.

"Fynn!!what is this that i am hearing from Benjamin that you don't want to come home ?"she asked annoyed as ever ,all she wanted was her son home and soon .

"Mom... well what you heard is true ,i'm still enjoying living this earthly life ,let me enjoy one last year,"he said begging

"No Fynn it's about time you came home ,you have been there for long enough since you were a tiny boy.."she said sounding sad.

"mom please..pwease,"he begged again sounding so soft and tender.

"Okey i will talk to your dad about it takuthandza yevha mntanawam(i love you my son),"she said ending the call.

He smiled to himself,his mom was his pride and joy even though she could be too bossy,loud, annoying, irritating and carefree she was a wonderful strong woman.The strongest he had known.

As he was fixing himself in the mirror he felt something move past him very fast ,he couldn't catch what it was but he had caught the scent .As he was trying to familiarise himself his friends got in making loud noise.

"what time is it??"Grey ,one of the best basketball players and captain of the Hawkins asked,he was tall and had curly brown afro hair.

"It's time to partty we wanna party ,"Jeremiah said ,he was the loudest of them all,well known sick romance guy,had the most played leads in the school drama club.

"And who is going to take us out !!"shouted Joe ,well known school clown ,captain of the soccer league and the leader of the entertainment club.

"Uhm guys ,keep the noise down," said Adolfo,the nerd in the group ,wears glasses and wears like a dork ,he is what we call the gang father ,always gives the best advice and listens to all their problems.

They all shook hands ,used their special friendship handshake .they had been friends for the past 3 years ,Since Ashanti's arrival.

"Guys , guys,guys let's keep it down ,"said Ashanti but it seemed like it was a sign indicating that 'Let us make some Noise' as they all laughed out loud ,making a loud noise ,they all talked at once trying so much to update each other on the latest news .As they were busy making noise ,Mrs Evans got into the restroom with Mr jones ,Mr jones had a buzzer .He pressed the buzzer and it made a loud roar causing the commotion to halt.

"How many times should i tell you boys that this is a school and not some type of cheap hook up club ,i have warned you enough... all of you go to detention you will leave this building 5 hours after school is out ..you will help clean the premises and will make sure everything is in place if you don't ,don't bother coming to school tomorrow!"Mr jones said leaving the restroom with Mrs evans following,they were sure it was her who had informed him about their absence in her class.

They looked at each other and burst out laughing ,they took all their things and walked out while talking and laughing like they didn't just get a punishment.They got in the detention room and sat down while making a lot of noise.

"Eyy eyyy eyy keep it down.... have some respect for the room you in ,this is the holy matrimony detention so abide by the rules and keep quiet,"he said ,the school all time favourite teacher said.

"Yeeeeaaaaahhhhh Johnny ,Johnny ,Johnny !"They all chanted his name.

"Okey okey guys seriously let's keep it down a little or i will also be detained along side you guys,"John Kirk said ,he was pretty much everyone's favourite and he used an excuse of being the detention teacher to get away from teaching kids 'i am too cool to be teaching uninterested teens who think they have a better life to live than to listen to me' he told the students.

"I'm going to step out for a while keep the noise down ,"he said getting his latest edition phone and stepping out.

"Mr kirk has been the best thing that has ever happened to this institution,"Grey said standing up and sitting on the teachers desk ,"like detention feels like a dream come true who ever thought that the very same strict Stephen King school would be a paradise ,"he continued.

"Yeah well nice for you guys to say ,i will miss out on my Physics and Chemistry lessons and i had been looking forward to mixing the final chemical and to learning more about the Thermodynamics and Statistical mechanics,and again my parents will get to know about this and i will be in more trouble ,"said Adolfo.He stood up and went to stand by the window,"like Fynn you don't have nagging parents who will always keep a leash on you and you just get to do anything ,your parents are in France all they worry about is you eating and getting money enough to cover your daily expenses while some of us have parents who are struggling to pay bills and are strict ,"he added putting his hands deep into his pockets.

"Yeah he is right you my man are the luckiest bastard ,"said Jeremiah.

"Guys come on it's more than that ,my parents might seem like they are not nagging but they are, they more than the word nagging itself,"he said ,he never really told them the truth about himself and where he comes from ,he didn't want to scare off his friends.

"Well if the shoe fits well it fits,ayt guys?"
