Mischief (Part 1)

It was past 8'o clock in the morning and the school is not that busy for the day. It was just an ordinary shool day adding to the boredom of his mind.

"Nothing to do again, huh?" , he sighed in dismay as he watched carefully the chemistry lab checking for signs if somebody is inside. As he would gladly welcome himself in without permission as long as the door is open. Trying and testing those apparatusses with his little experiments to satisfy his mind.

Luckily he found a utilityman entering the room to clean. As it would be a mess after a class would enter it.

Then utilityman left the door half opened. So he made is entrance slowly, not to alarm the utilityman of his presence. Fortunately, the man was so busy with his chore so he did not noticed Brian passed by and entered the compartment where all precious apparatuses where kept.

Brian's eyes glistened. At last, he has something good to do to suffice his boredom. As for him, it's better to observe and explore the world your way than learning from others observations.

"If Galileo proved to himself that the Sun is the center of the solar system. Then I would likely want to prove anything to myself. I am not like everyone." , he thought.

He picked the burners lying around the table and some papers. His mind was so full of things to do right now. Like a child wanting to know the little secrets of everything. His smile, is like the devil's aura on the hunt, when his at it.

A few minutes after, he noticed that the utilityman was about to leave the room. He dont want to get locked up in the room even when its heaven's feeling when his inside. So he tried to get out of the door first before he got locked up. He barely managed to leave because of the headset the utilityman was wearing, making him unable to feel the outside sounds created by the Brian's footsteps.

After leaving the room, he remembered the burners he used back at the compartment. He was confused wether he switched it off or left it burning.

"Well, if thats gonna light up. Im not the one to be suspected. As if im the only one in the campus to do it." , he thought to himself as he walked through the hallway to his room.

There is no surveillance cameras in the school since the new president wanted it not to be a school full of watching eyes. Let the students do what they want, the president said when he first met the students.

This adds up to his confidence that he will not be suspected. Plus the reality that he does it all the time.

He walked into his room while passing by drainage canal being rennovated from the other side of the building. Some said there will be a small garden created in the area as directed by the new president.

"So the new presidents way of a cool guy, huh? Or he just wants the students to come to school. Anyway, its good theres a little improvement with this old piles."

He went to the room and listened to the lecture with the professor.

He was then approached by Maxx.

"Hey! Whats up man? Wanna light something up today? It seems your pretty bored being normal. I'll pay for the thing if you do it. " , challenged Maxx to the now dreaming Brian.

Maxx is a bit of a rich kid in town. He even owns a five star suite in a classic hotel a few blocks away. This is the first reason why Brian was close to him. Whenever Brians up for a game, he would ask Maxx for door keys in exchange for answering Maxx's assignments. Its kind of a fair deal for them and works everytime.

Brian did not bother to look up to Maxx while being tapped on the back. But he did managed to make some clicks on his phone and then returned it in his pocket.

While Brian was halfway through his mind thoughts, as usuall coz he dont even listen to what the teachers say, screams can be heard from a near distance. He always protest why he should learn about art and painting when he wants to be a singer.

His point of view often annoys some proffesors he meet but amazes some people that knows him in person. He has a good point though about that.

"Fire ! Fire !"

Small amounts of smoke then started to go up the building. As he remembered, basing from where the smoke is coming , its from the laboratory.

Without hesitation, Brian ran directly to the spot where the laboratory is. The room was locked making it more difficult for them to put out the fire inside.

Its not the guilt that he caused the fire that alarmed the whole school that he wanted to save the laboratory from burning to ashes but the thought that its his mental abode whenever bored.

Brian rushed through crowds of people wanting to see what's happening. As he was close to it, he picked up a rock on the way since he know that no class would be using the room for the day. He had managed to look at the room's schedule before he walked out of the room a few hours back. And the one who keeps the keys for the laboratory is not around.

He directly aimed for the lock and tried to smash it using the stone that he picked up on the way. Unfortunately, the room's lock was sturdy enough to withstand even when you use cutter for it. For a room that contains expensive laboratory equipments, its not much of a surprise to have such a hard lock.

He rememberred the rennovation ongoing in the next building using a heavy equipment to dig the hole for the new drainage. So he ran back to it and drove it towards the rear of the room. There he found a spot, move the vehicle a few steps back and started driving it forward creating a hole for them to enter the room. He knows which part of the room was mostly unused and he used that knowledge to hit open a hole for them to enter.

After finishing the job, he then entered the room through the hole and found the fire extinguisher in a corner.

"Damn! Why are these rooms so old fashioned? Dont they have the money to put automatic water sprinkles for this?" , he excalimed.

"Well, things like these would not happen if noones as mischievous as me. Hahaha!" , he thought to himself.

After taking the fire extinguisher in his hand, he then aimed for the fire. Luckily, this man got some curiousity about everything so he knows how to use it. After a few moments of shock and nervousness passed from the crowd, the fire was put out.

And there was a loud cheer from them.

After a short while, the new president of the school came near the vicinity accompanied with several students.

"I suppose you are the one who put out the fire?", the president asked.

It was so obvious that the president didnt ask other man aside from him because he was the only student that went near the fire.

"Come to the office." , he said.

"Im glad I have a student like you."
