Diamond Friends

**Bro, you are so short that you need a ladder to reach the door handle**"Obi shouted to his short classmate; there was no teacher in class to teach them, so they came up with the idea to start teasing each other.

They all gathered around each other and were exchanging**funny yet insultive words** obi being the noisiest student in the class was the one that spearheaded the whole commotion in the class, their class captain (president) Cynthia kept trying to get them to quiet down, you guys should stop making noise, you are disturbing the whole school, very soon teachers are going to come in here and punish us, listen, woman, no teacher will dare step into my class, if anyone tries it, I will sack them, obi joke, Causing most of the class members to roar in laughter.

He kept talking when all of a sudden everyone stopped laughing at his jokes, he noticed that and thought that maybe his jokes weren't funny enough to make them laugh, unknown to him that a teacher was right behind him, who was Mr. Okoye, one of the most strict teachers in the school, one of his classmates signaled him to turn around and before he could do that, the teachers' cane had already landed on his back, he screams and ran out of the class,

Mr. Okoye tried to chase him, out of anger but he was faster, so he came back and asked Cynthia (class captain) to point out the ones disturbing the class with him, she did that immediately and they were flogged mercilessly.

He then instructed Cynthia to tell obi that whenever he is done running, he must meet him in his office or he will be suspended from school, just as he was about to leave the classroom a student step in with his back pack, indicating that he is just coming to school, Mr.okoye stared at the boy for all most a minute before asking him, "Jace why are you coming to school by this time" I over slept sir "really, this is your third time of coming this week 'm going to tell your dad, I see your are turning into a bad boy,

Jace's eyes darken when his fathers name was mention, Mr.okoye survey the class for a few more second and left, his classmates was surprised that Mr.okoye knew his name, so they rushed to his seat as he sat down, how did Mr.okoye know your name asked the tall girl seating beside him, is he really going to tell your dad, another girl chiped in, honestly I don't think he will, as far as I don't tared again then I think "maybe" he won't tell, Jace answered as if he isn't worried while he was obviously sweating, hahahaha he might be on phone with your dad right now, the short student said and the whole class erupted with laughter, Michael stop, are you trying to give him a heart attack , one of the girls said, nearly choking on laughter.

The class went on as usual, the smart kids were trying their best to impress the teachers while the backbenchers kept disturbing the class and then Jace, on the other hand, was smart, but he was too nonchalant to be serious with his studies; he preferred daydreaming about doing things than actually doing it.

Soon the dismissal bell rang and everybody rushed to the assembly ground for dismissal prayer and announcement, the school principal climbed up the stage, steeze Good day students, she started, I trust you all had a great day, remembered to remind your parents to pay your school fees and stay safe, that should be all she said while looking at her staff, bye, she concluded.

.................................................

Students dash out of the school compound to go to their respective homes; Obi sees his classmates and decides to scare them, so he hides in the bushes and jumps out the minute he sees them, causing the girls to shriek in fear; the boys act cool even though they all most ran away, OBI!!! What level of insanity is this,

Micheal shouted, haa look at this short man OBI said smiling foolishly I could have stepped on you he added, OMG bro I'm not that short Micheal responded and chased him around, Mr.Okoye said that you are to meet him in his office or you would be suspended from coming to school, Cynthia told him as she was instructed, "Oh, you're not even happy to see me! Anyway, I'm never stepping foot in his office." He replied, "Okay, don't say I didn't warn you," Cynthia said.

Why would she be happy to see you, are you guys dating Jace teased and Cynthia gave him a dirty look, why are you looking at him like that he may be right Anna said while typing on her phone, yeah I have been seeing two of them together, a girl said and the other ones giggled in excitement, why would I date an impudent troublemaker like him Cynthia said angrily

Hey I don't even know what that means haha haha obi jokes, you see what am see Cynthia responded and obi then located his friend Jace hey bro when did you come to school, he asked smacking him on his back, I came at very late hour, Jace replied and

you didn't bother to ask about me or look for me I was doing some important stuff,

he answered what could be more important than me obi said making a funny face,

they chatted till they got to a pathway where only obi, Jace and Cynthia would follow to their homes, so bide goodbye to their friends and went their separate ways

You guys should walk faster or I will leave you guys behind Cynthia said, haa who cares Jace responded oohhh that's how you guys want to do, Cynthia said and then increase her pace, they laughed at the way she walks when she's is angry, she ignored them and continue walking until Jace ran pass her and obi followed suit, ohh you guys have decided to catch up with me Cynthia smirk, Cynthia shut up and run now Jace shouted

Cynthia shouted "why" as she turned her back and saw a man running right towards her with a stick at an incredible speed, omg, she stumbled and began running but the man was already close and she screamed as the man was about to hit her with the stick Jace tackle the man to the ground and tried to run away but the man got hold of him, the man wasted no time and began beating him, obi saw his friend getting beat up and ran to his aid, he thought that, Jace and him would be able to beat him but unfortunately the man was way stronger than them, Cynthia on the other hand kept calling for help but no one answered, she begged the man to let them go but he didn't listen,so she picked up a stick and began whacking the man with it, the man slapped her, pulled the stick out of her hand and proceed to beat them all with it, he beat them to his satisfaction and dragged them back to their school, the principal was locking her office when they came in
