《Kingdom of Earthos》Chapter 8: The first lesson and the second day of class.
Advertisement
Yesterday was a long day, Eagle had some run ins with Jake after the first day of class which caused him to retreat to his unit for the rest of the day.
"You can run but you can't hide. Wherever you go, I always have my friends watching you. I also heard you were acting as a show off in your class and got punished by Principal King Kong", Jake scoffed and spat at Eagle rudely while speaking.
"Oh please. Who told you all this? One of your lackeys? I am sure one of them has eyes on Tomi. If you are not careful you will lose her soon. You have all mouth but no brains".
"Watch that mouth. You have always been different from others. Why I was your best friend, I don't know. Maybe I was just as dumb as you are now. Everytime I see you or even hear off you all I remember are the times you drag me into the stupid things we did. You liked to watch multiple cartoons rather than serious movies and I can't believe I let you give me a nick name".
"Nobody forced you to by my friend. You might look tough but you are such a mamma's boy".
Now red in the face, Jake retaliated by screamining out loud. "SO SAYS THE FOOL WHO IS OBSESSED WITH JUVENILE STUFF. I know all your secrets. You always were a screw up ever since I know you. Just take a look at social media, all your secrets are listed down there but none of mind ever will be. You know why because unlike you, I am a winner". Jake poked Eagle on the forehead before walking off. "See you sometime soon loser".
That was yesterday. Eagle wanted to retaliate. He really wanted to take Jake down as he knows his weaknesses just as much as he knows his but should he retaliate, he knows things will get worst. Jake has already become Principal King's favourite student.

The next day, Eagle entered class silently and took his place right beside Bob. Mads noticed this came up to Eagle saying, "Not so talkative as you are yesterday, aren't you? I bet you had a run in with Jake. I just want to say that I am already dating Bart. Therefore, I am taken but we can still talk, can't we?" She placed her hand on Eagle's (who did not bother to look at her) right shoulder. "See you later". Mads headed back to her seat.
A tall stern looking man in his early thirties walked in. He was dressed neatly and had red hair as well as blue eyes. He was slightly shorter than Jake and carrying a green file in his hands. "Good morning everybody. My name is Mr Buffalo", he spoke up. "Our first lesson today will be on the megalomaniacal king but before that I would all off you to introduce yourselves".
The first person to introduce himself was one of Jake's clique named Ling Wu, an Asian martial artist and one of the boys who helped Jake picked on Eagle. The introduction when all the way down to Tomi and Mads who revealed their full names Tomi Aquanetta August and Madison Jo Jones as requested by Mr Buffalo before politely telling him that he is free to call them what everybody calls them everyday. The new teacher nodded and moved on.
Ann and her boyfriend were reprimanded by Mr Buffalo and made to do a hundred push ups as they were listening to heavy metal on the i pad once more instead of paying attention before they were told to stand in front of the whole class and introduce themselves. Eagle was getting bored as it seems to take forever considering Mr Buffalo would ask everyone their prefered name. "Just get over with it", he mumbled to himself.

Finally, it reached Eagle's turn. "You wearing green at the far left. Please introduce yourself", the teacher spoke pointing at him. Eagle pointed at himself for confirmation. Mr Buffalo nodded his head.
"Call me Eagle".
"No your real name".
"Everyone calls me, Eagle".
"That is your nick name. I am asking you for your real name. Please give me a sensible answer as I do not have all say".
"But your name is even more unsensible, you are Mr Buffalo aren't you? Why do you want to know my real name when you are not telling us yours. Pot calling the kettle black". Hearing these words come out of Eagle's mouth actually made Mads giggle and others in the class laugh along. Even Tomi who hated his guts couldn't help laughing along."My whatever name is Mike Green. Just call me Eagle and let me call you Cape Buffalo".
"Nobody makes fun of my family name and gets away with it. Get out of my class and you the sleepy one. You too get out. I don't need to know you as I have your name in the list in my folder. Both of you get out now".
"Alright. See you later. Hope to know your real name soon". These words from Eagle made Mr. Buffalo fume. He wanted to punch Eagle's lights out but he knew he would be fired and as a result he forced both Eagle and Bob to decide between running round the block and doing a hundred push ups on their knuckles. Both of them choose the option of to doing the letter.
While doing their push ups in front of everyone, Mr Buffalo began to teach the whole class about the a 'megalomaniacal' but powerful king from Parádeisos who burns brighter than the brightest blue star who uses male blue ice bears from a distant planet called Diamond to destroy everything. The blue ice bears are the reason for the disappearance of the blue stars. He warns everyone to avoid the School of Parádeisos at all cost and not to learn their ways. Eagle realised that all blue stars in the sky had disappeared.
Despite doing his push ups, Eagle was smart enough to conserve energy whenever Mr Buffalo's back was turn. Mads decided to have some fun and blew spitwards at both Eagle and Bob.
Eagle would turn to her looking annoyed but Mads would give him the cutesy pouty look as if to say, "Do you really think it is me. How could you think that?"
Bob quickly got out of breath after ten push ups and was made to do an extra ten for falling flat on the floor. "Both of you really need to do a bit of a workout", Mr Buffalo shoke his head and sighed.
