The Burmuda Chronicles

Princess

"Don't forget your homework diary on top of the fridge!" screamed Susan, Tobias' mother, who was certain his young boy would forget, as usual. She is a stout but fit woman in her mid forties, with beautiful cheeks, caucasian brunette with long silky hair and a weird sense of fashion and the mother of three siblings. Her voice was sweet as a pin pop but sharp as a nail, everybody reacted with the usual response," he's already gone mum".

Toby, as everyone calls him was an early bird, reasons only known to himself. He would get up as early as 5.00 am before his alarm starts buzzing. Take his warm shower just before his mother wakes up, dresses up and as always gets one hoody from his wardrobe and darts out of the house in a 3/4 pace. To the world, and by world it basically means a small neighbourhood suburb in Cape Salisbury where the lanes were long and lonely, had one specific hoody but the fact of the matter was he had eleven different hoodies with the same colour. He would dash off as fast as he could down the lane, just to make it past the bridge on the edge of  street for reasons only known to himself. After that he would walk steadily on his small little hands, I mean feet. Well, the thing is he's as good on his hands as he is on his feet, one of his hidden talents. He would walk for ten minutes until he reaches South Ridge High School. The best school in the region when it came to sporting facilities and producing athletes and the least in academics, a scorn of the county for lowering the grade.

A day At this school was typically the same for Toby,  slow and an excruciatingly agonising end of day for him, everyday. Now it was time for his daily dosage, a suitcase wedge accompanied by a coat hanger on the small flag pole in the courtyard, were everyone would see him. From yours truly Prince Sschwels, a grade 12 student who repeated his grade, 1 or 2 times and was currently saving community service for breaking into the Headmasters' office to steal a remote for the television in the board meeting room were he wanted to watch his favourite show on Kidstoon. It did not start out like this, funny story, Toby stammered Prince SSchwels name in front of the most popular girls in school. By mistake he called him Princess and from that time, everyone called him Princess Wells, including the Head master. Since then Toby would have to avoid him at all cost. Now instead of two suitcase wedges, he would get one.

Prince stays At the edge of the lane in Tobias' street and goes for jogging everyday. So, toby has to time his actions, when Prince passed by his house going round the hood, toby dashes off for the bridge before he is seen. As usual Toby cant say it to his mum who is a bank manager at a big bank or dad who is a pilot for Fly Carbon a big airplane firm and are both rarely home. Even his Cheerleader sister didn't know this as she was always busy working out and making routines. Or his buff brother who had the power to protect him. If only he knew!
