TYRALIUM

Chapter 5

After the disaster at home I walked back to school the next day still thinking about the catastrophe that happened yesterday at home.

The moment I got there, Ramson started to run towards me enthusiastically.

"Dude hurry, hurry." He said, dragging me away.

He led me to a small room somewhere on the second floor of the school. When we arrived, Nathaniel, and Desmond were there.

"Finally you showed up." Desmond said.

"Guys, guys, guys he's here!" Nathaniel yelled curiously.

The room was dark and empty, except there was a huge screen which covered the front wall, and showed the parking area of the school. There was also a long table attached to the screen.

So many students were now approaching the school, and the place was almost overcrowded.

I guess I came earlier than I'd planned.

"Who's here?" I asked them.

"Shush. Just watch." Ramson said.

I looked around the parking area and spotted Principal Butt get out of his 2012 Uber car which we normally mocked him for driving it around.

I now realised what was about to happen.

Nathaniel pressed on a little button I hadn't noticed since I got here, and a little microphone came out.

"And there is Principal Butt stepping out of his 2012 car." Nathaniel said into the microphone.

Every student at the parking area stopped, looked at Principal Butt, and burst into a loud laughter.

Principal Butt said nothing. He just looked around trying to figure out where the voice was coming from.

"Well, I guess bitches really don't and can't." Nathaniel said and we all burst into laughter, including the students at the parking area.

"Ooo. Here it comes." Desmond said tapping Nathaniel and I "Look up."

A huge balloon was flying in the air towards the school. As it floated it gradually span around, and everyone including me finally saw the exciting side of the balloon.

On the balloon there was a picture of Principal Butt, and under the picture was written boldly a sentence which read The Greatest Principal Of All Times.

Then Ramson and Desmond yelled into the microphone, "Syke!"

All the students burst into a long, loud laughter. I shot Ramson a disappointed look.

Principal Butt climbed on top of his car with the ambition to burst the balloon with his walking stick which had a pointed edge.

"Check it out, check it out." Desmond said excitedly.

Immediately the pointy edge of his walking stick pierced the balloon, a huge liquid substance with a yellow colour burst out staining Principal Butt's whole body and his whole car.

"What was that?" Nat and I asked.

"A mixture of contact glue, marmalade, hot source, pepper, I could go on and on but you already know the good stuff." Desmond answered.

Immediately, we ran back out of the room, locked it and headed down into our class, where only a few students were seated. I doubt they must have noticed we were behind it, but one thing that kept bugging me was, how the students burst into laughter when we showed up.

All four of us sat down innocently, looking at each other. I tilted my body and gave Ramson, who sat beside me, a sign. Immediately, he knew what I meant and also leant over to hear what I'd to say.

"Weirdest thing happened yesterday." I whispered to him "I . . ."

"Jraidson! Nathaniel!" Principal Butt yelled showing up in front of our door "My office!"

Nathaniel and I immediately got onto our feet and followed the tall, old, wrinkled faced, principal all the way, into his office.

"Your seat?" Principal Butt offered.

We sat down slowly, still with a pretend expression on our face which showed we still didn't know what was going on.

"Let's cut to the chase. Who was behind it?" He asked, so quickly.

"What?" I said.

He started to laugh and we joined him, not even knowing why.

"Take these." He said still laughing, and handed to us two papers.

We still continue to laugh, until Nat and I took a look at the sheets of paper. The laughing immediately ceased.

"I now have a sophisticated reason to expel you two." He said with a victorious smirk.

"But we didn't do it!" Nathaniel yelled.

"I don't give a shit!" Principal Butt yelled back "The last time there was a prank, you two were behind it! What proves that you didn't do it now?!"

"What proves that we did?" Nathaniel said with a hypocritical laugh "You can't scare us, Principal My Ass, we ain't kids no more."

"Okay. Who did it?" He asked with a more calmer voice, and we kept still, not letting out a single word "Okay. Consider this letter a report to your parents."

He took the two sheets and signed them, and returned them back to us. We excused him and headed back to the class.

"What happened?" Ramson asked the moment we were in.

There was silence for some time, then with a loud, victorious voice, Nathaniel and I yelled, "We got expelled, yo!!!!!!!!!!"

The whole class gave out a huge triumphant, and happy yell as if they'd just won a war. Everywhere Nathaniel and I passed we got rewarded with handshakes from everyone who said, "Good job, bro!"

It has been every student of this high school's dream to get expelled by the principal, since whenever we asked our parents to get us out themselves, they turned into a deaf ear.

Now, all I worried about was how my parents would act towards this great news.

"What the fuck is going on?!!!" Our English teacher, Madam Anna yelled.

Wow. I didn't notice her in the class.

"C'mon gang. Let's get outta this shit hole called a school." Ramson said getting up with Desomd.

We walked out of the school and roamed about the city, chatting.

". . . . yeah. How dumb was he to pierce the balloon?" Nathaniel chuckled, and we joined him.

"You two are super lucky. I wish I was the one getting expelled." Ramson said, laughing.

Suddenly, a huge black car swooped by us, and all four of us got snatched in. It happened so fast I couldn't do anything, and the moment I got a little bit space to at least talk, I was hit on the head.
