8 Kido Impossible

Zach walks out of the alley while brushing himself off but stops when he spots movement.

He looks to the side and sees a short Asian boy with large backpack looking at him with sparkly eyes.

"You're ok?"

.Yeah, i guess... were you watching me?.

"No No, I was ehhh getting ready to call an ambulance for when they left..."

Zach chuckles

.Well an ambulance is probably still needed.

He points towards the two collapsed figures in the ally way, the boy approaches them and stamps on Raheem's already disfigured leg with an ecstatic expression.

"Ahhh so satisfying!"

Zach's dumbfounded by the sudden actions of the boy and rushes to stop him.

.Wait! stop, do you want to get into trouble or something!?!.

He pulls on the boys bag and stops his abuse, the boy looks back in annoyance.

"Come on, let me hit em a few times... You had fun now its my turn!"

.It was self defence!.

"Capping both of a defenceless man's legs is self defence huh?"

The boy retorts in a brutal fashion.

.I was afraid for my life!.

Zach crosses his arms and looks away trying not to laugh, he had always been terrible at lying and can't hold a straight face.

.What's your name?.

"Kido, you?"

.John.

The boy smirks mischievously from behind Zach,

"Ah, so everyone in school calls you Zach as a joke right. Thats pretty funny, it's such a stupid name!"

Veins appear on Zach's forehead but release as he asks,

.Wait, You attend Navel?.

"Yep, i'm the same year as you aswell."

.Your not here to blackmail me are you?.

"What would I gain from blackmailing the disgrace of the school. Truth be told I also have issues with the cunt gang made up of Sajid and those two."

.They are infamous for a reason huh.

"If it was just erasing them it would be do-able, but the main problem is their connections. I don't know if you have noticed but there are a lot of police in the surrounding areas, but they are not looking for crime. They are rats in the system sent from various gangs to keep their underground business afloat."

Zach ponders after he says this.

.That may be so, but what do you want me to do about it?.

"Nothing, but the way you are acting you might just disappear before you even hit graduation."

.I can handle myself.

He says confidently.

"Can you dodge bullets? can you protect your family? You'r not superman, you can't go against them."

Kido points at his face.

.Then what should i do?.

"You help me, I help you. Ill help keep you off of the radar and when i need assistance, you will come.

.What kind of assistance?.

"None of your business for now."

...Alright, fine.. partner.

Zach holds out his hand waiting for a hand shake, Kido fist bumps him and turns bright red...

"Thisss ehh"

He runs towards the school after accidentally ruining his mysterious aura, Zach bursts into laughter as he sees him scuttle away with a huge backpack.

Zach starts heading for school, a big smile plastered across his face.

He gets to school at the last second avoiding the bonus homework. The first thing he notices when he enters the building is student made news articles stuck to the walls detailing Raheem and Graces vile acts inside the nurses office.

Some of them even include pictures of Raheem and Grace being escorted out of the Office by the principal, you can even spot the shit stains still all the way up Graces arm and Raheem walking in an awkward manner.

Zach's previous smile gets even wider as he can't hold the delight that's building up inside him, he wants to cheer out and start singing but refrains... He is already an outcast, what would they think if they saw him dancing and singing in front of these articles.

He walks towards his classroom while voices of disgust towards the news can still be heard.

He enters the familiar classroom and cheerfully greets Mr.Robinson.

His teacher has a grim face when he sees Zach,

"Hello Zach, sorry for the trouble but could you go see the principal in his office."

.Whats the occasion?. He says while getting a bad premonition.

"I don't know but the principal is furious, if anything happens please tell me afterwards. I will report it to the higher ups."

.Will do, thanks for the concern.

He heads off to Principal Gilani's office.

When Zach gets to the office he knocks on the door and waits, he hears a rough voice from inside telling him to come in.

Zach enters seeing a fat foreign man sitting at his desk smoking, smoke fills the room giving it an uncomfortable feeling.

.Hello Principal, I'm Zach, you called for me?.

He looks Zach up and down then scoffs

"Do you know why i called you to my office?"

.No sir.

"I have received various complaints from students about your misconduct and have decided to review it"

Zach plops down on the seat frustrated.

.What? I'm the one getting bullied! Why am i the one being punished!.

"I have received no such information so i can only think that you are lying"

.No ask around the school, Sajid and his goons are literally infamous for this exact thing!.

"Now your grassing out your fellow students with false evidence, I will give you a chance to admit your wrongs so your punishment will be light"

Zach fumes as he spots a slight smile on the sack of shit and hypocrisy sitting infront of him.

.What would my punishment be if i don't admit anything?.

"Expulsion"

The words slam into him like a truck, it was hard enough getting into a decently rated school and now hes at risk of ruining years of work.

After a minute Zach answers,

.I admit my faults and am prepared for the punishment.

He bows his head in a respectful manner, The fat man grins at this.

"Your punishment will be a suspension of 1 week starting on Monday, it will be noted in your file but no other actions will be taken against you"

.Thank you for your kindness. Zach stands up and preparing to leave but is stopped by some words muttered by the principal.

"Serves you right you little shit"

Without turning around Zach quickly leaves the office and heads back to his class, his forehead creased and a terrible expression on his face.
