The humble beginning

  "Mrs fletcher" Douglas can be seen shouting at the top of his lungs "Mrs fletcher"

   "yes Mr Douglas , what is it this time" Mrs Fletcher turns around with a grim expression,  expressing that she was quite displeased by someone disturbing her from her afternoon routine

  "I'm here for inquiry on the after school tuition" Douglas musters up courage to be able to talk to the monster before him.

  Mrs Fletcher smiles "what's with that eerie smile ma'am" a quite frightened Douglas asked

 

  "nothing Mr Douglas,  if you really want to know about the tuition come to my office at noon "

Talking to Mrs Fletcher is one thing but going to her office was on a whole new level. "alright ma'm,  I will be there"

"that's one hour from now " douglas says out loudly to himself

  "woah... You have got some balls man, you talked to Mrs Fletcher and you didn't shit your pants"

"hahaha..... Nice one Denis, Mrs Fletcher isn't so bad,  I still got to go to her office by noon"

  "you said what... You are joking right, you must be...."

Douglas turns to face denis and can see Denis being sober "what's with that reaction bruv"

  "I've gotta go prepare for your funeral, rumour has it that anyone who goes into her office, never remains the same."

"to hell with all the rumours. Don't give me the creeps, am seriously going to her office, cause I can't afford to fail again this year."

  "alright see you later bruv" Denis runs off too class

  "huff..... To Mrs Fletcher's office it is then"

**********************************************

"Come in Mr Douglas" the door opens and Mr Douglas steps in looking all exhausted and scared. " you may take a seat" Mrs Fletcher ushers him

"OK... Thanks ma'm, woah.... Your office isn't as bad as I thought " turning around "I frankly thought it would have all those weird voodoo and shit" arriving to his destination

"language Mr Douglas.... Mind your language"

"sorry ma'm" finally remembering the whole Mrs Fletcher's attitude, "I'm here for the tuition enrollment"

"you don't need to remind me Mr Douglas, I know all there is to know about you" she replies while looking at his letter,  "the tuition starts at five and ends at eight, I'm sure that a boy of your caliber can handle that,  If it's too much too ask them I'm afraid you aren't up for it "

".....yes ma'am" now that I think of it Mrs Fletcher isn't so bad,  maybe the sun light makes her seem inhumane, the darkness really brings out her beauty.

"that would be all Mr douglas", noticing him gawking at her,  "or is there any other thing on your mind" she lurches forward, exposing her barely visible cleavages

Noticing the sudden movement before him, he is bewildered by Mrs Fletcher's sudden gesture, and then realizes he was gawking, and doesn't hesitate to scurry out of her office

"boys... Gets them all the time,  I hope I haven't scarred him for life, well only time will tell"

At the cafeteria

 

"so how was the trip to the lions den,  she had all those crazy voodoo and stuff's right "

"Denis for the last time Mrs Fletcher isn't a Lioness and her office is not a den, and no she doesn't have any voodoo stuff in her office"

"Chris I think Douglas has been brainwashed, he is siding Mrs Fletcher, no one sides Mrs Fletcher, not even the principal" Theo speaks out

"and that's because everyone thinks she is responsible for her families death" Douglas replies, "come on give the woman a break, she was at work when her house caught fire", Douglas defends "the cops still don't know why they place went ablaze, so I say she's innocent "

"and that's because she did it from her office, maybe she has a button, to hide all them voodoo and shit" Theo answers

"I expected better from you Theo"

"And what are the three musketeers up too now?" Dorothy asked,

"nothing much just praising Douglas for passing through hell" Denis replies.

"Douglas passed through hell..... And he is alive, how am I just hearing about this" Chris replies

" no you dumbass, we were just trying to express What Douglas went through to Dorothy "

A raging Denis replies.

"oohh.... What were we talking about? " Chris asks.

  "just how do I Fucking know you, God, let's give this two Lovebirds some privacy," Theo ushers the rest of the crew.

"so did you enroll for the tuition " Dorothy asks why trying to make her self comfortable.

"yeah, I did, can't afford to fail this year again " Douglas replies

" then you read you dumbass, I registered cause I have so many free time at home, and I can't stay being bored" Dorothy replies

"well I registered cause I don't have time to read at home, with the way everything is at home" Douglas replies

"come on brighten up, no need to be down I'm right here by your side" Dorothy speaks up noticing Douglas sulky mood.

"how did I ever meet you?" Douglas asks with his mood being a little better

"if I remember, I'm the one that asked you out" she replies with a laugh

"ouch" that hurts everytime you know "I was gonna ask you out later"

"but I beat you to it" Dorothy laughs

"Miss Dorothy Mabel, you are needed at the principal's office" the speaker rang

"guess that's my cue, all right see you later " Dorothy stands up heading towards the principal's office, " and the damn bell rings now"

" alright that's all for today, time for the after school tuition " Douglas sighs

**********************************************

"I didn't really expect the place to be that full, I mean how many people are there for the tuition? " Douglas says while feeling butterflies in his stomach

"come on that's the usual amount, except you joining us today" Mrs Fletcher answered

"sorry for asking Mrs Fletcher but please have you seen Dorothy, we're supposed to meet after the tuition " I asked why looking around to catch a quick survey of the classroom "

"now that you mention it, I haven't seen her,  maybe she's still with the principal" Mrs Fletcher replied

"till this time, maybe I will go check it out " I offered

"alright but don't stay too long cause the door closes at six make it before then"

"thanks ma'am "

Douglas approaches the principal's office and hears a student sobbing, entering to inspect the office after noticing the door was left open

"hello.... anyone in he....." Douglas peeks inside to check as his voice trails off

"Bang bang bang "three consecutive shots can be heard, Douglas looked towards where the gun was shot as a sharp pain rushes through his brain "thud" as his body hits the ground, looking towards the source he sees an inhumane Dorothy smiling towards him "not what we expected but we can make do with him"

"is this how I die, and by the hands of the one I love " Douglas heart fills with regret, and rage, his eyes filled with tears as he draws closer to his last breath, "maybe I wasn't destined for greatness afterall"
