28. Dumfounded.

The day went by gradually, and work hour was over as people started leaving work. Alexa concluded hers and so also her friends. They kissed goodbyes and evacuated the office building. Alexa needed to go see her mom and brother before heading to Bryan's house.

So as she waved Shawn and Bridget goodnight and they too got their cabs and left. She was about to also get a cab, but this time as she was about to stop one she remembered her driver had warned her not to go anywhere without him. So she wandered how to call for him when she did not know where he was to be called from.

As she moved her head around the corner, she sighted him waving at her, she smiles and went to him.

"I was actually looking for you Fidelis," Alexa said Happily to him.

"I always notice when you are out ma'am. So shall we head home or ..."

"Fidelis, I will like for you to take me to the hospital. I need to see my mom before we go home if you do not mind please," Alexa pleaded.

He smiled and knew she would say that and he said he was delighted to oblige her. So he opened the door and then took Alexa straight to go see her mom.

As soon as they got there she went upstairs to her mom's room where she met her brother Jerry giving their mom stories of the bullies in school and how he had punched one today and because of that headed straight for detention for an hour.

"Not good brother," Alexa interrupted.

"Hey sis, I did not hear you come in. How was work?" Jerry said.

"Work was stressful as usual. Good evening mother," she kissed her mom and her brother and sat with them.

"Jerry you should not be in detention, these constant detention will dent your record and it is bad for your grades." Alexa warned Jerry.

"So what should I do then, they always start the troubles am I to just sit down always and let the humiliate me in front of the entire school?" Jerry said now becoming very angry.

"Calm down son, do not yell at your sister, she is not the cause of the problem. She is just trying to help." Marcela said trying to call him down.

"I have told you there are other ways to solve a problem without using your fist. You can as well keep reporting them or take the matter up to the principal directly." Alexa said.

"They keep just talking and not doing anything and these bullies know how to attack when no teacher is around, and their parents are great donors to the school so most times they do not believe other students. They support these kids."

"Brother calm down, everything will be fine, did I not promise you? please trust me," Alexa said trying to calm her brother down.

"Sweetie calm down listen to your sister please," Marcella said.

"Jerry please you will be fine and atop making mom worry OK," Alexa said.

"None of you understand me, jeez," Jerry walks out of the room.

Alexa tried to calm her mom down and promised she will handle the situation. She walks out and went to meet Jerry who was stated at the reception arena of the hospital.

she sighed as she saw him bowing his head and hitting his feet on the ground really feeling so agitated and worried. You could see in his eyes that he felt his family did not understand him but soon all will be well as Alexa had promised him.

"Hey champ, why are you sitting hear all alone and feeling sad," Alexa sat with him and patted him on his back.

"Today they took my bag and put in food from the cafeteria into it and it was all messy. I went to report and the teacher was asking how I knew they did it and do I have proof? and she told me to leave her office." Jerry said crying.

"So that was when you went and hit them and got the detention right." Alexa asked.

"I had to defend myself and show them I am not afraid of them," Jerry said raising his head high.

"But now you back fired and you alone got disciplined. I am sorry but things are changing for the good," Alexa said.

Alexa turned and took in her hand from her bag the file Bryan gave her concerning the change of Jerry's schools and told him to take a look at it.

"What is this Alexa? why are you handling me a file?" Jerry asked.

"Open and read or can you not read?" Alexa joked around.

"Oh please I can read." Jerry said.

He took a close look at it and was shocked and he screamed what is this sister do not mess with me?" Jerry said.

Alexa laughed out loud and told him to reduce his voice. But this was a surprise to Jerry as he could not hold it in.

"Your school has been changed and and you cab start immediately." Alexa said.

"Sister are you sure you know what you are talking about? it is one thing for me to wish I leave my school and another thing entirely is that I get to go to one of the most prestigious schools in the country. Like how? are you a magician now? besides we can not pay for this" Jerry said.

"I am not a magician and it has been paid for, just for you to attend and make cool rich friends, build up good network of friends and enjoy all the rich kids enjoy, go for excursions and just have a great time but you must study well and become great in the future." Alexa said.

Jerry could not believe his ears, he was dumbfounded and all he could do was just to hug his sister so tight and thanked her.
