CHAPTER 3: PERFECT
"Hey Mich, it's time to go", Teema said as she shook Micheal who seemed to be lost in thought.
The closing bel had just been wrung and everyone was already heading out or preparing to except for Micheal who was looking intensely at a geography textbook he didn't seem to be reading as he had been on the same page for about ten minutes.
"Oh already?", He asked with a surprised look after looking up with a jolt.
"So soon!!!, Mich it's been ten minutes since the bell rang and I've been looking at the same page since, what exactly is going on", Teema asked with a hint of anger and worry in her tone.
"I'm fine Tee, just got a bit lost in my thoughts, I'm alright okay", he said with a slight smile.
Teema stayed at him for almost a minute without a word with an expression that suggested that she didn't believe him.
"Well can we go home now", She asked with a sigh.
"Um...you are gonna have to go without me", Micheal said as he packed his books into his backpack.
"Huh, why?", She asked standing akimbo with her arms on her waist.
"Um... Mr Francis asked me to help him prepare the solutions for tomorrow's lab practical and after that it should be time for football practice, so it'll be best if you left without me".
"Micheal whatever it is that's going on, I hope you know that you don't have to go through it alone. I'm always here bye",Teema said said turned to leave.
"I I'm sorry Tee, u really don't want to hide anything from you but you won't let me do it if I let you know so I can only hope you'll forgive me when you find out", Micheal muttered as he watched her leave.
Micheal watched her walk down the hall way before turning back to head deeper into the school towards class six of year three. When he got there he looked through the window and saw a few students.
"Um....is Timi in class?", He asked a young girl who was leaving the classroom.
"Um....I think I saw him head to the roof top, The girl said with a furrow of her brow as she thought hard.
"The rooftop, okay thanks", Micheal said as he flashed her a smile and left.
"So dreamy" the girl swooned and turned to leave.
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
Micheal opened the door to the roof only to be hit in thee nose by a peculiar odor that made him scrunch up his nose in disgust. He look around and saw Timi sitting under a parasol with headphones on his ears and what smelt like marijuana in his mouth with smoke flowing out of his nose as he exhaled. Micheal took out his phone and recorded for about twenty to thirty seconds before keeping his phone.
"Perfect", Micheal whispered as he climbed up and closed the door and hooked it behind him with a bat he took from the sport equipment storage.
As he closed the door Timi finally noticed that he wasn't alone anymore. He took of the headphone and crossed his leg as he watched Micheal.
"Oh if it isn't the school's little prince",Timi said with a sneer.
"What was her offence", Micheal asked calmly.
"Huh, oh so she came running to you. Is that why you are here. What are you gonna do about it? Huh? I was tired of her so I dumped her", Timi said with a smirk.
"She was true and good to you but not only did you break her heart but you had to humiliate her by breaking up with her publicly", Micheal said as his voice dropped colder.
"And so what? What can you do about it? Listen you may be the best a sports or in studies but I could take you on in a fight any day. It'll only take one hand to break a bone or two from your body".
"Well I guess I'd have to witness your strength myself", Micheal said slowly as he took off his uniform jacket.
Micheal placed the jacket carefully on his backpack which he placed in the floor as Timi stood up and threw his still lot wrap on the floor.
He walked slowly towards Timi with a cold look on his face as he raised both hands in front of his face and curled his fists.
"Bring it on",Timi growled as he advanced towards Micheal.
Micheal git closer and threw a straight punch with considerable power towards Timi's head. Timi dodged to the right and threw a punch to Micheal's left ribcage. Micheal quickly reacted with a jump to the right and kicked Timi's shin hard. Tim jumped from the pain of his shin being hit only to be met with a kick to the chest from Micheal which sent him sprawling on the ground. As he tried to stand up Micheal delivered another kick to his left rib cage causing a slight crack to sound a Timi doubled up in pain. Ten minutes later Micheal walked down the stairs leaving behind a broken, battered, eye swelling and minus two teeth Timi who seemed to lack the strength to even move as he lay on the rooftop sobbing.
"The next time you mess with one of my own, I'll break you in so many new ways", Micheal said as he left.
As he walked down the stairs, Micheal out in his jacket, smoothed out his shirt and walked out the back door of his class building with a composure that hid the fact that barely five minutes ago he had pummeled someone in the roof.
As he walked out the main gate, he saw Teema standing under an ice cream shade seemingly waiting for him. As soon as she saw him, she walked up to him with a scrutinizing look on her face.
"Where have you been Micheal", She asked.
"I thought I told you before that Mr Francis asked for my help", He said calmly.
"Yeah and then he left about fifteen minutes ago", she said as she crossed her arms.
"Don't tell me you went to the field cause Sam told me that practice was scheduled for five in the evening and this is just last three so where were you and what did you go to do that you were so desperate for me to leave", she with an angry tone.
"Alright", Micheal sighed.
"I had to do something you wouldn't have approved of , okay. Please don't ask me what I had to do".
"It's Timi right", she said with a sigh.
"Huh....why do you say so?".
"Amanda has been looking for him since school closed", she said.
"That's why I decided to wait cause I suspected that you had something to do with his disappearance and I guess I was right. So what exactly did you do to him".
"Nothing really serious, just taught a lesson. Don't ask you'll find out tomorrow ", he said as he raised his hand to stop her from asking.
"By he way I wasn't the one keeping him, I actually met him smoking on the roof".
"Seriously", Teema asked with a shocked look.
"Of course, let go home",Micheal replied with a chuckle.
"You really aren't gonna tell me what you did",She asked as they walked away from school.
"Nope you'll find out tomorrow", Micheal said as he rufgled her hair as the walked away.
"Leave my hair alone", Teema shouted earning a laugh from Micheal.
