*Zzz zzz zzz!* Alex's bracelet moved around on the side table as it vibrated.

Alex stretched out his arm and clicked the power button ending the alarm.

Pushing away the blackest off his body, he rose from his bed and took a shower before dressing up for school.

He strapped the bracelet on and made his way downstairs for breakfast before leaving.

David offered to drop him off at school.

Half way to school, Alex said "Pull over."

"Why?" David asked confused.

"Just pull over."

And just like that, David pulled over to the side of the road; "Now what?"

"Let me drive."

"..."

"What? I want to drive let me." Alex laughed at his brother's stunned look.

"Okay...." David said removing his seat belt, "But if something happened to my car of us. The blame is on you." he opened the door and stepped out then proceeded to the other side of the passenger's seat.

Alex stepped on the accelerator when David stretched out his hand to open the passenger's door and stopped abruptly only a meter ahead.

He poked his head out the window and stared back at David, "Sorry. My leg slipped." he said with a playful smile.

"haha... Very funny." David walked to the car again but the same thing happened.

"So you're trying to do revenge on me huh?" David said in frustration.

"Noo..." Alex said innocently, "Well, yeah now we're even."

David finally got in to the passenger seat and Alex drove off.

But a short distance ahead, the car kept stopping abruptly then thrusting then stopping.

After the constant rocking David said, your gonna get us killed boy. "

" Relax, I got this."

Alex changed to reverse gear and the car thrusted backwards before stopping abruptly again.

"... "At this point, David looked at Alex with disdain and had already strapped on his seat belt.

Alex laughed inwardly at the way his brother was acting.

Finally, he shifted the gears again and drove slowly ahead.

" Good. Your finally getting the hang of it." David said in surprise.

But then the next thing Alex did shocked him.

Alex changed the gears again and pushed on the pedal hard making yjt engines roar to life.

The scale on the speedometer constantly rising per second.

David was thrust backwards by the sudden change in speed.

"Are you trying to kill me kid. What the hell do you think your doing. Your gonna get us killed." his heart raced.

But, as if Alex was deaf, he didn't stop. Feeling the adrenaline rush through his body, he felt as if he had never been alive.

David kept on complaining but it was like he was talking to himself since Alex heard no single word.

" Watch out your gonna get us in an accident!" David said when he saw the other cars swoosh past theirs.

"No... There's a car ahead of ours. Stop the car..."

But just then, the sound the engine made lowered before roaring in an even louder sound as Alex changed the gear again.

Turning the steering wheel to the left, he over took the Yello taxi ahead of them.

" Why did you let you drive!" David regretted his actions. But then, the car stopped thrusting his head forward due to the momentum before rocking back to the chair.

If not for the seatbealt strapped on, he would most like have an injury by now.

"Why are you complaining? I've reached my destination. You can have your car back now." Alex laughed as removed his seat belt.

At this point, David panted profusely as his chest were raised up.

He looked around just to make sure they had truly stopped.

In truth, David wasn't scared of the speed, but the fact that Alex had never driven before and was going to get them killed.

"Good bye." Alex said with a playful before opening the door.

"Yo bro." Alex greeted Calvin as he took his seat.

"Good morning."

Murmurs filled the ckass atmosphere as everybody chatted with themselves.

After 10 minutes, Madam Morgan entered the class and greeted.

"Good morning." she placed her hand bag on her desk, "Ahh.... I would just like to inform you that your exams results will be released today. This is time you will know the fruits of your work. If you worked hard enough, you know you will be promoted to the next class. If you didn't, then am sorry I have nothing I can do for you but to advise you to either repeat this class or try else where. "she shifted her gaze to Alex for a short moment when she said the words" Repeat this class".

"Why she looking at you like that?" Calvin leaned in close to Trevor.

"I don't know bro, leave me alone she's gonna put me in for dentesion if she sees me talking to you."

Unluckily for Alex, madam Morgan had already noticed him.

"Alex. Please keep what ever you want to say until after my class." she growled, "Any way....."

After a brief five minutes of lecturing, she proceeded with her lesson.

During the lesson she caught someone chatting with her desk mate.

"Stop talking while I am teaching!" She growled angrily at the girl.

"Stop teaching while I'm talking." someone said.

Followed by which the whole class burst into a loud laughter.

"Stop it." the teacher said but her voice wasn't audible enough due to the laughter.

The statement was funny, thar a student fell of his chair laughing hard.

"stop it!" Madam Morgan yelled.

This time everyone fell quiet. They tried their best to hold in the laughter but there where those who couldn't hold no longer.

Sweeping a glance at few who still laughed, they immediately kept quiet and looked away.

"Who said that?"

Everybody turned and looked at Alex who currently held his hand over his mouth in regret.

"ALEX! COME HERE NOW!" growled Morgan.

"What have I gotten myself into now.." Alex regretted inwardly as he stood up hesitantly.

Everyone looked at him with pity as he made his way to the front of the class.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing...." Alex said with embarrassment as he looked at the floor not daring to look into madam Morgan's eyes.

"Your just a lot. Your too much. I think it's just your age disturbing you." Morgan said in frustration, "I even bet you failed the promotional exam."

"Job." Morgan called out shifting her gaze to a front bencher.

"Go and check if the results have been pinned on the notice board."

"Alright." Job said quickly getting up and exiting the classroom.

A minute later, he returned from the school's hall.

"Good now go check for his position."Morgan said as she took her seat with an evil smile.

Leaving Alex to stand at the front of the class alone.

With all those eyes looking at him and only him.

" Don't be surprised if he is even the last. "

A minute later, Jon returned;" Madam Morgan. I don't see him on the list."

Madam Morgan seemed rather delighted;"Hmmm.... Could you have failed so miserably that the school didn't want to a shame you." she mocked.

"Go and sit down." she instructed to Job to take his seat.

"But just to make sure. I'll have another person check for you okay,..."she shifted her gaze from Alex to Julie," Julie, can you please go check for Alex's name. "

And with that, Julie left the classroom.

" Your evil. "Alex cursed at the treatment he got from Madam Morgan.

If he did fail this examination, he would be in for a lot of trouble at home.

He couldn't help but put into consideration Madam Morgan having something to do with his results.

The class teachers of a certain class were not allowed to mark the student's exams of that particular class.

What if she broke the rules.

A minute later, Julie came back to the class.

"Did find it?"

"Yes ma'am."

"What was his position?"

Julie revealed a satisfies smile, "He was the 1st."

Having heard this, madam Morgan stood up abruptly.

"Are you sure you saw correctly?"

At this moment, Madam Morgan wasn't the only one shocked by this revelation.

Every other person in the class had their Jaws hanging.

Even Julie had to recheck the list twice to make sure she saw well.

"Yes, he got 99 in all subjects."

"Crap you must be kidding. I'll have to check the list myself " Madam Morgan hurriedly left the class.

She hurriedly found the notice board and went to her stream result form.

And it was true, Alex was really the fast.

She then followed by checking the entire class's results with all streams combined and he still ranked the first.

Maybe the reason why Jon couldn't locate his name was because he searched for it at the bottom of the list.

Everyone in class knew that for a fact Alex would always be among those at the bottom of the list. Why would anyone check the top?

She spent some time trying to collect thoughts. "Something's fishy. That's not right."

As Morgan browsed through the list, no one in class moved or did anything as they were still in shock.

"Thst can't be right... Maybe Julie is just covering up for him."

"She must have lied!"

"I don't believe this."

Everyone thought to themselves what just happened.

Meanwhile, Alex stood there with a smirk on his face.

"I sure have made Madam Morgan go crazy this time." Alex thought to himself, "If I were to see her drinking or doing drugs I won't be surprised. I am just a demon. God help me."

*The school bell rang* indicating the end of the end of the lesson.

And until now, Madam Morgan hadn't come back to class yet.

Alex simply walked out of class and headed to the cafeteria for a snack.

The cafeteria was rather empty this time, most students were checking for their results on the notice board.

As for Alex's class mates, the first thing they did was to check if the claim were true.

"Oh My God. It's true!"

"Crap! How did that happen."

"Straight A's!"

Calvin approached Alex dumbfounded; "BRO. Which voodo did you use?"

Alex simply chuckled at his question.

But soon after, joined in asking the same question.

Then Julie, then Thomas.

"It's nothing. I just so happened to read hard. That's it."

"If you tell us nothing is up, we won't believe you at all. What did you do?"

Sighing, Alex looked for explanation in his head; "Fine. I picked stambled upon the examination paper before the exam."

"No that's not true. If it were, you can't tell me you stambled upon all the subjects." Abigail reasoned.

"Then what should I say. When I say the truth, you don't want to believe. When I lie to you, you still don't want to believe me." he sipped on a soda, "I already told you. I read hard before the examination. I've always relaxed in class but since it was the promotional exam, I had to pull my socks up."

"I don't believe it but okay..." Julie denied.

"So which club have you joined so far?"Calvin asked.

" Hmmm... Na. None. "

" Why?"

"I don't know."

"..."

After a little convincing by Abigail and Julie, Alex now joined the Programming and inventions club.
