Be careful with me

Purnishment

Lucas

During the class I couldn't focus,because I was scared and wondering what could be the reason behind Robin calling me?, I close my eyes and starts to pray at least asking for God's help this time.

"Mr Lucas,you have the audacity to sleep in class,you already came late on your first day," said Mr Richard  "I am sorry sir,that won't happen again" I said while standing. "How about you meet me during break time,I have something to discuss about" said Mr Richard.

Oh Lord,this can't be happening  now,I already have to meet Robin during break time and now I can't say no to Mr Richard,what should I do?.

"Okay sir,I will be there" I tell him while sweating,I decide to put my study first,maybe I will talk to him at home. When it was break time,I started parking my books and after that I was ready to move out when someone held my waist.

"Are you about to run away from country?," said Jerome 

"Will you stop sneaking behind me?,you scared the s**t out of me" I countered but on the other hand,I was relieved because it was not Robin. Thank God at least per now.

"Why are you always scared?,I noted that these days every thing scares you,tell me is there someone bulling you,or threatening you ,how about telling me while eating,"said Jerome.

" Nothing to  worry about,it's just that I won't be able to talk to you now,because I am needed by my math teacher,May be we shall  talk while having lunch." I tell him while heading to my locker

But while putting my book in there,I saw Robin's friend staring at me,I started Panicking because when you see Toby it's a sure win that Robin is also there.

After getting books I needed for another lesson,I started walking heading to Mr Richard's office ignoring Jerome who was walking behind me,once I reached I knocked before entering.

"Who is that?" Asked Mr Richard, after making sure that I wasn't followed by my stepbrother I made a small sigh before answering.

"It's me Lucas" I replied,

"Okay you may come in"  Said Mr Richard. Before entering I managed to glance at my best friend who seem to be worried and I nod my head assuring him that everything will be fine.

When I entered I was offered a seat which I didn't expect because I thought I was here to get my punishment yet I was here having normal  conversation with him.

"So tell me how you coping up after your father's death" Asked Mr Richard. I am sorry to ask I think it's personal but you can regard me as your Uncle because your Dad and I,we where best friends during our school days,he said that with moist eyes.

For me I don't mind talking about my Dad,but asking about how am doing it's just makes me nervous ,but I didn't want to sound mean and replied to his question.

" I am doing well sir,as you already saw news papers that my mother got married to Mr Joseph Hood "I replied while sweating because I didn't like the topic at first place.

" okay that's not what I  called you for,I asked you that because your Dad was  a good friend of mine and I wanted to know whether you're okay,but if you find any difficulty you can  always come to me."Said Mr Richard.

"Thank you Mr Richard I will surely ask for help if I find any problems,and I am very sure that you must be having a good heart form you to be my father's friend back then," I manage to tell him although I wanted to cry because ever since Dad died,apart from my best friend,no one else as ever asked if I was fine not even my biological mother.

"No thanks between you and me,and by the way the reason for me asking you to come is about your stepbrother,you guys seem not to get along and it seems you have same schedule for  classes,and I would like to know if you would like to change. But on one condition, I want you to focus and have good grades once I change ."Said Mr Richard

I was so happy to hear that I can change and busy wondering why we have same schedule with that bastard at first place,of I change will I be able to be in Same classes as Jerome.

"Yes sir I promise you that once you put me in same class as Jerome" I said while smelling expression how happy I was about this all conversations.

"Okay deal,but not so sure about all schedule with your buddy and if you want to focus you need to have no distractions" replied Mr Jerome 

"Okay fine,that's  great sir and thank you for your time" I said half standing as it was time for next class.

"Don't worry,just focus" he tells me while handling me  a piece of paper,I can't explain how I am at least I will only meet him at home.

When I looked at my schedule ,it showed that I have chemistry after break time,which made me smile because it's the same as Jerome.

I went in class early,be the first one enter was to  ignore those stares from my fellow students and I didn't want to deal with another teachers attitude.

And talk about attitudes,I think Robin helped me when he wanted to humiliate me,who would have thought that Mr Richard was my Dad's friend and if it wasn't for my silly brother ,how was he going to know my real names,I know Dad must be watching over his stupid son.

I stopped thinking when some one gave me a very big hug leading me to suffocate because of how tight it was,if am not mistaken this must be Jerome I said while trying to get rid of him.

"And what makes you think so,is he the one you love?," he asked

"Loving you my foot,because your the only one in this world who acts before thinking," I replied still trying to get rid of him,but finally he decided to let go of me and on the hand I started looking around the class to make sure that there wasn't any one because they will think that he is a weirdo.

As I was searching my eyes met with golden eyes,wait what was that ,I looked at him again wanting to confirm whether what I saw was real.
