Mhmmm, the nice smell of summer breeze and finally no school hahaha.Now isn't that just wonderful? So let's start from the beginning.
"THE BEGINNING"
"Jake wake up do you want to be late for school?"said jakes mom."Good morning mom how was your night." Jake said."my night was fine my dear how was yours,"she replied."Mine was fine too"said Jake.
Jake was the only child in a family of three but he always wanted a brother or a sister so badly because he was always lonely but most times being the only child is kind of fun because you get everything,you don't have to share anything but Jake always wanted a sibling to talk to.Jake's mom was going to drop Jake in school before heading to work since today was jakes first day at school his mother gave him many of food and snacks for his first day at school.
Jake was an African American because his mom was from Africa and his dad was from America but moved to Nigeria because his father was an expatriate.So when they got to school Jake was thinking and happy about his first day but unknowingly to him The school was filled with bullies they weren't actually bullies but they always criticised him and from another country.
During recess a boy named alex met Jake crying in the play ground and walked up to him and hugged him saying don't cry please they will soon forget about you but no offence though.Non taken said Jake.Jake was so happy to finally make on friend that can look after him. From that day onward, they became friends and Jake finally got the brother he always wanted. Jake invited alex to have a sleep over during the weekend at his place but alex mum didn't agree for security reasons.Jake didn't understand because in America they always had sleep overs but Jake didn't mind so he agreed and let it go. Three days later, which was on a Monday,Mr.Bola who was their school principal asked everyone to come to the assembly to address the bullies who bullied Jake. Jake didn't want to tell on them because he knew they will deal with him but alex told him if he doesn't call them out it will get worse.
So, while the principal Mr.Bola was waiting for Jake to call them up,one of the bullies, Ade gave him a death stare which got Jake so scared.
"just call them out, they won't dare hurt you and if they do, you know my Grandma is the owner of this school so own up." Alex said
Jake finally got the courage to speak but he only called out one bully which was ade.He called Ade out to teach him a lesson. Then alex said you should have called all of them."Alex don't worry about it Ade knows what he did"said Jake.Alex went with the flow and said OK I trust you.
It was already close to mid term when they decided to go on a field trip or a road trip.Jake didnt want to go because he knew that it will be easy for ade to bully him. He wanted to have the experience of an excursion in Nigeria.So he decided to go.when they were about leaving ade told alex he shouldn't get in his way of dealing with Jake.As they were going the buss had some issues then it broke down in the middle of nowhere, While the buss driver was calling a mechanic the students got down to feel some fresh air, Alex was scared of staying far from home so he got road sick.He then decided to stay in the bus and not get doen.Jake checked on him before getting down the buss.
Ade was waiting for the perfect time to deal with Jake so then he found his perfect time to strike when Jake was urinating in the bush. Ade snuck up on him and that made Jake very scared.Jake tried to scream for help but no one was around,so ade was about to beat jake then alex separated the both of them before ade beat Jake.Jake was surprised on how ade didn't beat alex while trying to separate them,So alex revealed that ade is actually his brother but alex was adopted. That's why ade is always angry because ade's parents always pay more attention to alex so that gets him very angry so he started bulling every body and was annoyed by everything.
After Jake heard this news he was so sad so he went to meet ade in the class to try to talk to him,Luckily for Jake,Ade was very easy to talk to and relatable. Jake was shocked that ade didn't send him out or abuse him they got into talking and they became friends. Ade and alex then became friends all thanks to jake.Ade and alex parents the Okikis were so happy that the two of them are finally getting along.
They would do chores together without fighting or arguing and they would share things with each other.But deep down ade knew It wasn't going to last.The both of them then decided to watch a movie together but they didn't agree on each other movie. Ade wanted to watch Transformers alex wanted to watch dead pool and wolverine.So then they got into an argument. Ade didn't want to fight so he just left quietly.
After the break While alex was on his way to school he saw a car drop off a new student. Alex didnt really pay so much attention to him,until when alex was about entering the school then the new student tobi asked alex to show him the way to his class.So they both got into talking and just like that they became friends.Coincidentally they were both in the same class.so,
Alex started spending more time with tobi than with his two best friends.Later on ade told alex that something was wrong with tobi because he seemed like a betrayal and he looked off stay away from him,Then alex got angry at ade for saying such a thing alex felt that ade was jealous and wanted him to have no other friends. Ade tried to explain why he said so but alex just said he should leave him and get out.Ade didn't want to argue so Ade just left.
Ade was so devastated.He decided to go to the play ground,few minutes later Jake saw ade."What's wrong why are you so sad"said jake."Alex doesn't take us as his friends again"Ade replied.
Jake was so confused and didn't know what to say.So Jake went to confront alex.When Jake got there he found Alex talking to tobi and went there immediately Jake got there alex left and dragged tobi with him this action got jake very angry."Why are you such a backstabber what does this tobi have
that I and ade doesn't have"Jake said
Alex and tobi got so angry with what Jake said.So alex tried to defend tobi but Jake shut him up. Then alex gave Jake a slap.Then a huge fight broke down tobi tried to separate it by beating Jake.Ade heard sounds so he quickly ran there he saw tobi beating Jake so he ran to beat tobi. Then a huge fight between the four off them broke down no one interfered until a student went to call the principal while the principal was on his way Alex gave Jake a punch then Jake fell down,hit his head and went into a comma unfortunately for Jake the principal was to late.
When the principal got there he found Jake on the floor He couldn't even ask any question so he just quickly carried Jake up put him in his car and took him to the hospital.Ade was so angry at both Alex and tobi.Ade really wanted to follow the principal but he had already gone.Ade was praying and praying for Jake not to die.When the principal came back Ade was expecting Jake but didn't see him Mr.Bola told Ade that he is in a comma and he doesn't know when he will wake up.Ade started crying and pleading to go and see him but Mr.Bola said only family members can go and see him. Alex was so sad but he didn't want to prove it.Ever since then alex tried as much as possible to stay away from tobi . After the fight they were all suspended until further notice .when they got home their parents were so angry at them but tobis parent just took him away from the school to a military school.
Jakes mom was outside the school waiting for Jake."where is this boy they closed since 3 o'clock it's already 3:30"said jakes mom.She then decided to go inside the school. She met with the principal and asked him were is Jake.Mr.bola wasn't able to answer.Few minutes He gathered up the courage to tell her that Jake is in a comma in the hospital.
She wad so scared and forced the principal to take her there.When they got there Jake was Awake and eating on the bed. Immediately Jake saw his mom he started crying."Mom please I want to go back to america"jake said.
His mom said in a low tone "don't worry it's just a matter of time."
"When is dad going to be true with his business"jake said.i don't know my dear jakes mum replied.
"Just relax my son don't stress yourself"jakes mum said."ok mom" jake replied."where is dad" Jake asked. "He should be on his way right know" jakes mum replied.When jakes dad got to the hospital he was so relieved to see Jake alive and well. He was so worried because he thought the comma was for a long time.The doctor told him that would need to observe Jake to be sure every thing was okay before letting him go.Jake stayed in hospital for over a week and each day his parent's would come to check up on him.Non of his friends came to visit because they didn't know he had woken up. When Jake was finally dismissed,he went home to prepare for school on Monday.
After the incident, Ade was so happy That Jake had woken up.When Ade saw Jake he quickly ran to see him. Jake was so excited to see ade,But alex never came to visit.
After tobi left the school he was so angry at himself and was feeling guilty for making Jake go into comma.He then decided to write an apology letter to Jake, saying his so sorry for everything and he didn't mean to steal his best friends he is so sorry.It took Jake a long time to see the letter. When Jake finally saw the letter Jake was angry and sad at the same time.
When Jake was finally able to go to school,When he got there everyone started cheering him.Jake was confused for what was going on.When Jake got to class he saw a big banner saying "WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL AND PLEASE FORGIVE ME" Jake already knew it was alex.
Alex then came out and went on his knee for Jake to forgive him Jake has a soft heart so it was easy for them to reconcile.
After a while things went back to normal it was just the three boys.Which were Ade,Alex and jake.
Few weeks later, The principal announced that they will be having their Carol on the 16th of December 2023
They were all excited to attend the party.when Jake got home his parents didn't give the consent to attend the party because they feared his saftey due to his past experience with tobi.Jake was so upset so he went into his room and slammed the door in anger he stayed in bed all day he refuse to eat or leave his room.As he laid on his bed he began to think of what he can do,Then an Idea came to him then he decide to implement the idea.
Since Mr.micheal his driver has been friendly to him he decided to talk to him.Jake begged him to drive him to school because this is his first time attending a Nigerian carol.Mr.micheal agreed and took jake to school while his parents were at a meeting.When they got to school they pulled up in the parking lot but all of a sudden the driver started going back Jake thought maybe he wanted to repark but they the driver went far away from school then he told jake to have the experience of walking to school. Jake told him not to play games with him that they should just be going.The driver took Jake out of the car and zoomed of Jake was so scared because he didn't know his way.While Jake was walking two huge men covered his face with a sack jake tried to escape but he didnt stand a chance against the two of them,Jake was taken away and kidnapped.When jakes parent got home they didn't see Jake anywhere.They checked his room and outside but he was no where to be found."Ahhhhh!!where is my son"said jakes mum.
She then began to shout asking all the staff were he was she was so scared she tried calling him but he left his phone at home.shy was crying and sweating,"Calm down woman"said jakes dad
How can you tell me to calm down in this type of situation."I was telling you not to come to Nigeria because it is a country filled with insecurity."said jakes mom.
"Please calm down let me think."said jakes dad."Wait we haven't asked the driver"said jakes mom.
They both ran outside but the driver was nowhere to be found.
When Jake woke up the sack had been taken off his face, he looked around and realised he was in an unfamiliar enviroment, an uncompleted building which was quite and scary but he could hear voices whispering but it seems they were having fun ,he could persive the smell of cigarettes "they must be drinking to " he thought to himself . He started shouting,where am I is anyone there.
I want to go home let go of me where is my mom I need to speak to my mom I need to see my dad please let me go I want to go home."Shut up do you know were you are" the kid napper said in a harsh tone.
One of the kidnappers walked into the room and Jake immediately noticed the gun in his hand and cigarette in his other hand.Then Jake began to shiver."If you make any funny noise I will shoot you"said the kidnapper.jake broke down and began to cry "please let me go or allow me speak to my dad." He also begged him to untie his hand and his leg because they were hurting really bad so they untied him.
Two weeks later they decided to inform jakes Grandma.When she was told she came as fast as possible."Omo mi da kilose omo mi Where is my child. Grandma what are you saying.jakes dad said.He then turned to his wife and asked what she is saying.
They decided to go to his school to see if they would get any information that would give them a clue to jakes sudden dissappearance .When they got there ade saw them and quickly ran to ask jakes mum why Jake hasn't been coming to school.Jakes mum started asking ade when last he saw Jake.Ade said he sighted the driver pull up in the schools parking lot with Jake in it.Ade said he was expecting Jake to come in few minutes later but he didn't see him.So he went to ask his class mate but they all said they haven't seen him.After a while he then decided to go ask the security officials in the school,But they said they haven't seen him. Ade thought maybe he forgot something at home so they had to go back.
That gave jakes parent a huge clue on how to find Jake.So they went home to look for the driver then they saw him on a phone call so they eavesdropped on his call they found out he was talking to someone and he kept yelling at the person not to hurt the boy.When the police and jakes parents entered the compound he was scared but had to stay cool.When they asked the driver where jake was he tried to act normall and said he didn't know.Then jakes mom threatened him that he will lose his job and will be sent to prison if he doesn't talk.The driver had no choice but to speak and told them that Jake had been kidnapped and had been taken to an uncompleted building.Jakes mom instantly commanded the driver to take them to were Jake was. While Jake was trying to find a way to get out he noticed that the kidnappers were having trouble doing something on the computer but Jake couldn't really get a good view on it.When the kidnappers decided to go into the other room to rest for a while,Jake stood up since he was untied he decided to check the computers,It wasn't long before he found out they were trying to crack a code but Jake didn't know what the code was for.Since Jake knows alot about computers and he always uses them at home he decided to help but he didn't know what the code was for.Immediately Jake cracked the code the two kidnappers came outside.When they saw Jake with the computer they Instructed him to leave the place,Jake calmly left the place so he could avoid trouble The kidnappers found out that Jake had cracked the code.They both tured to Jake and told him he has done a great job,Jake didn't understand what he had done but he had to go with the flow. The two kidnappers were so happy so they decided to call their boss which was the driver.When they called him the police took the phone and answered it.Everyone was silent as they heard the kidnappers tell the driver that Jake helped them to crack the code and jake didn't even know one of the police told the kidnappers that you all are going to be arrested.Then jakes mom said I am coming for you Jake,When Jake heard the voice of his mother he was so emotional then he said crying "Mom please come get me".The the kidnappers immediately hung up.Then few minutes later they heard the police siren this got the kidnapper so scared the they were about leaving when two police men bursted into the room.The kidnappers didn't even try to escape because they saw that the driver was already arrested so the police men called for the squat car to take them away because they all came in jakes dads car.Jake was finally free and he was so happy.Then he apologised to his parents although they were not happy he snuck out but they were happy they have found him. Jake personally went to meet the driver and asked him why he arranged the kidnapp,The driver told him the reason why he did that was because he knew Jake would help them crack the code since he was really good with computers.Jake was sad and at the same time proud of himself because he got to show his talent,It took a while before the squat car came. When it arrived the kidnappers and the drivers were sent to jail.
The next week Jake was finally back to school When he got to class everyone was so excited to see him. Ade was the first to go and greet him,Alex was just wondering What was going on then when alek spotted Jake he ran to hug him and welcomed him back.The next day ade and alex got jake a welcome back to school gift.Jake accepted it,During recess Jake told alex and ade that he would be going back to america next week because his dad had finished the business he came to do in Nigeria.They weren't all happy but they promised each other always to Video chat and still be friends.It was time for Jake to travel when everyone came to say goodbye his grandma came to say goodbye and even tobi came to say good bye, They all stayed in the lobby as they watched the plane take off.
