The Tragedy Of Brothers

CHAPTER 1

"Beep!!! Beep!!! Beep!!!" His alarm clock rang loudly.

"Ah! Ah! It's morning", Raymond hated the sound. "Its time for school and it's annoying", he moaned.
He strode into the bathroom and took his bath. In five minutes he was dressed up in his school uniform: deep blue trousers, white shirt, deep blue tie which feted on his neck absolutely perfect and made him looked smarter, white socks and blue shoe(lace up).

He glanced at himself, "Hope I'm looking great? This is amazing", he became excited. Suddenly the door bell rang.

"who is there?" he asked.

"Young master, it is time for breakfast", said the maid.

"Alright I will be there in due time".

Raymond took his Rolex wrist watch and locked it round his wrist. He walked to his sitting room and sat on the dinning chair while the meal was served by the maid and he ate quietly.

He walked slowly out of the house. He looked around astonish by the view of the house. He was given birth to and raised in this house but every single day, the house looks more beautiful.
"The architect who made the sketch of this house must have been a genius", he thought.

Apartment building_ outside the house coloured with glowing pure white paint throughout with coffee brown roof. Large glass windows with coffee brown down sill. There is also a garden by the side and a green house. The garden has a wooden glass gate; inside, there is a flower bed with different kinds of flowers. Rose, orchids, Alamander, salvia, sun flowers and five balsam trees. A cloche and some seedlings in a glass. There is also a vegetable patch and a cane and at the center a lawn. There is a fountain at the middle of the space with pure water gushing out of it.

At the back of the house,there is a large sport field, basketball court, table tennis Court, sword fighting ground, swimming pool and badminton field.

Inside the house is a marble Stone floor. Chandeliers hung from the ceiling, displaying soft golden lights that brightened the whole house that viewed the elegant interior, displaying expensive furniture and ornaments through its massive windows. The house is of five story buildings. The first floor is meant for visitors. The second floor has two large residents; Mr and Mrs chimas residents.

Rabiu(A driver to Raymond) opened the car door and Raymond got onto the car; a black Mercedes Benz
With custom licence CHIMAS. The windows were tinted black. Rabiu entered the car and drove Raymond off to school. Raymond schools in Tafawa balewa college, Abuja(one of the renewed schools in Abuja).

Thirty minutes later, the car parked at the school lobby as usual. Raymond came out looking triumphant. His face was brighter than usual which was unlike him; like he won a lottery ticket.
"I'm so happy", he mumbled. "It's my first day in SSS3 and I'm finally out of that house. That house is really suffocating and I missed school so much", he groaned. He took a deep breath and walked majestically to his class. And there his three friends were chatting, shouting and arguing.

"Who is that?" A dark skinned boy with a round face and an upturned nose, his hair was barbed neatly and his school uniform was ironed perfectly. Mostly every student try their best to look good on resumption days. His grey eyes glittered with delight as they usually do when they see Raymond.
"Hey man, how far?" said Alex.
"Hey Raymond!" they all called with amazement.

Raymond gasped, "Have I seen you people somewhere? Yack! You don't look familiar".

"Stop playing around guy. At least give us a hug. It's been long since we last met", Abdul growled.
He looked some inches taller than Raymond with light brown skin and short nose like one of Raymond's favorite boxers. His nose makes him sometimes funny especially when he's angry. But only few people noticed it and one of them was Raymond. He loves looking for Abdul's trouble in order to make him angry so as he will wriggle his nose. That made Raymond laughed a lot.
