"KD, please don't hit him again. Let me deal with him. Go home, please" Lucy begged. JK got up from the ground and touched his nose several times to make sure he wasn't bleeding. I stood there quietly waiting for his next move. I thought maybe he would retaliate. I wasn't very fit to engage him in a fight. I was praying silently in my head that he wouldn't hit me back. I could endure many things, but definitely not when I'm being beaten and humiliated in the presence of my dream girl. Luckily for me, my mum called me that she had gotten a taxi so we should leave.
"No matter how beautiful and well
crafted a coffin might look, it will not
make anyone wish for death." I did not waste even a second there. I left Lucy and JK there and "run away" home with my mom. Lucy was discharged from the hospital the following day. She didn't go to school for the whole week. I stayed home for two days but on the third day, my mum dragged me to school. She went to school with me to see the headmaster. I took my mom to the headmaster's office and left her there. I got to class a bit late. I nearly missed the first period.
I was received in my class with mixed feelings. Some were happy to see me, while others wished I never came back. Frank, EK and MA gave me a warm welcome. We had a lot of things to talk about, especially those that happened in my absence. MA proposed that we start planning on how to teach JK a bitter lesson. "A child can play with mum's breasts, but not its father's testicle." EK supported it. Frank, the new guy, wasn't all for it. He wanted me to let bygones be bygones. I wanted a revenge. I wanted JK to suffer. I wanted him to beg for his life. I supported MA and EK. Three against one.
When we went for break, Frank approached me and advised me to forget about any thoughts of revenge, for the sake of the peace of the school. What is this guy talking about? Peace of the school? A man's tooth ache, means much to him more than the starvation of the community. Did JK think about the peace of the school before he went round spreading the falsehood? I told Frank not to be afraid. He should join us. He reluctantly agreed to join us.
If the cockroach wants to rule over the hen it must hire the fox as his bodyguard. If we can succeed in our plan, we'll need someone who is superior to JK. We'll need to involve a teacher. We decided to frame JK. We met and planned to steal an item from one of our mates and put it inside the bag of JK, when that person complains that his or her item had been stolen, then we'll go and inform our class teacher to come and conduct a search. The item would be found in JK's bag. That could earn him a befitting punishment.
We agreed that our plan was great. We only needed a day and whose item we were going to use to execute our plan. I also needed to think of how to get close to Lucy and win her heart. I was determined to win her heart now. I decided to tell her because, " He who sits next to a beautiful lady but doesn't express his intentions ends up fetching water on her wedding day."
