Low Returns
High school Expectations:
Celebrating with my teacher and some high achievers like myself, I couldn't stop to think about how it would go next year.
'New people, new teachers, maybe the same friends these guys I'm with'. Looking around.
I'm not that close to them. I don't know, they are all best friends and everything. I'm just good at what I do. I wonder if I will finally get a girlfriend? I will definitely dominate my studies for sure (Whoever was looking over me must have been laughing at my thoughts).
'Pagh!' I just felt pain. I just got hit by a belt by those guys playing around (4 boys including me and 2 girls were part of our crew with teachers of mine who were a couple everyone could see clearly though they never admitted to it).
As I felt the pain, a boiling anger seeped out. I slapped the guy. We started wrestling for a while and I lost, was crying and everything changed. Thinking about it now, it was probably jealousy about how they were playing around, and I wasn't involved. Childish, but for me, it was just pure unfairness.
The teachers coming from whatever they were busy with rushed in, picked me and the other boy apart, and asked what was going on. Granted, I was smart, and I knew how to twist a story (Plays a crucial role in my relationships in the future. Look out). Me being beat up crying and everything my crush was watching me I had never felt so embarrassed.
'This guy hit me with a belt and didn't apologize. I hit him back, then we fought'
The guy responded 'I was just trying to let him play with us, but he just slapped me'
Dang. How couldn't I have seen they wanted me to play with them? For all the intelligence I have been boasting about, this is truly dumb.
With no response cooked up, all I could do was keep crying. They took me to another room to calm myself.
Hours went by with me alone watching cartoons and how stupid I must have been looking about now. I wished that girl would come hang out with me (Daydreams are beautiful sometimes).
The next day
I went back to sleep and woke up well. Same old, like nothing ever happened before.
Who was that yesterday definitely wasn't me (A true shame).
We had fun and everything was even cozying up to my crush, though that didn't last. She chose someone elseeeee.
After a few days, we all went our separate ways. Sometimes it was good being a nerd.
I have not introduced myself yet. Well, let me wait till chapter 2 hehe.
HIGHSCHOOL AND THE LAWS
I didn't go to school on the first day because well... I was lazyy.
Now Rule 1 Simping
The first day I went to class, it was amazing. I saw alot of new people. I was comfortable and sociable with the people around me, traits of a slightly optimistic upcoming alpha. I even made jokes with my homeroom teacher till I found out I was in the wrong class... yeah embarrassing.
They made me choose another class because of subject problems. They were nothing big. I looked for a class with the people from my primary. I was most familiar with then poof. Everything was great again.
(The scriptwriter of my life was laughing in the background.)
A couple of days went by, I became close to this beauty from class, started carrying her bag during Prep or what you could call physical class or even just to another class and everything.
But the saying 'Nice guys finish last' didn't just pop up out of nowhere'.
'Did you hear?' Boiik (He's the boy I fought with)
'Hear what?'
'Your girl is dating a grade 11' Boiik
My mind went blank. How could that happen? I've been with her every day since we got to know each other. Why, how when?
Why are tigers such good hunters? It's because they go for the neck.
It was part of the game, a game I never knew existed.
And just as I had been taught the first lesson, a new, even more valuable (important) was on the horizon.
Weeks passed by-Rule 2
The best version of natural selection has been occurring all around me. Groups formed, cliques and everything. It was my turn.
Here's a question: you've just been slapped because of spilling someone's food. What do you do?
I did nothing. I was still a big nerd, scared of being expelled from school.
And with that, I unknowingly crossed the second rule - Protect your aura at all cost.
I was expelled from the clique I was with and don't get it twisted. If there was such a thing as cool boys, they were the cool boys. No excuse. Bounced around looking for people to chill with. In contrast, my life outside school was the best I could have. My family had just moved to a new area. Not even a month after being there, I had a girlfriend. Yess a 8.6/10 girl. As for the 1.4 was the face card, yeah no comments.
This is the contrast, while at school I was being semi-bullied. I didn't know everyone seemed to want to see me fight or something.
I try talking to girls and here are the type of conversations I would get:
'Hey'
'Helloo' Girl X
'How are you doing?'
'Im ok' Girl X
'...'
That's it. Hehe what you expected more?
The rumors about me spread or something every girl knew about it. My now understanding mind knows it was the 'Aura'.
Back at home, I was building and learning the basics. How to treat your girl, what to do with her and I was getting slightly famous in the area, so many other girls approached me. It was the dream.
boom
'Boy come here' Shady guy 1
Two guys were following me while I was going home.
They quickly cornered me.
'What do you want?'
'Borrow us your phone so we can make a call' Shady guy
In my mind, they were upgraded from shady guys to criminals.
'No forget about it'
I wrestled with them and lost.
As I arrived at home
I was crying
Mom 'What happened?'
'I got robbed, they took my phone'
Mom 'How did that happen? are you ohk?'
I don't know why, my ego was probably talking.
'They pointed a g*n and told me to give them the phone'
That time I wrestled with them. The phone broke in half. Yes, I was a monster, or they were just weak criminals. A kid against giants, it was a win, but to me losing the phone was darkness. It was not like my family would just buy me another one. We were not that wealthy yet.
And… Continue to chapter 2 Byee
My name as Promised is Black.
My high journey
heyy.. This is me.
Thapelo Leo Morolong Jones- I prefer to be called Black
This is my first and will be one of the best novels out there. If I get enough support, I will continue the journey to a higher level.
This is a biography, so anything that happens here is probably 90% to the T Me. The other 10% I don't know shame. This will mostly be romance and a slice of life. Yes, but don't be discouraged, I believe this is going to be a Netflix special for youu. Its about how I navigated my life in high school and how I transformed into a Fboy the cause and effect. There are alot of lessons and dialogues that taught me about the game yes its a game. Have fun and to my exes. I still love you shame hehe
