WAKE UP SLEEPY HEAD

Jane Honda woke up a bit flustered, she could hear her mom singing the song, the particular annoying one titled it's raining men by the weather girls, old classics.

Jane Honda covers her ears and turned around to get a brief sleep her eyes hover around her dad's small framed picture kept by the small stool at her bedside, she stretched her hands and concealed it by turning it over. Her dad had died a few days ago he died of leukemia she felt her world was crashing that day.

Her mother Felicia Honda had carried on, she is a strong woman, and the death of her husband didn't stop her from striving harder to feed her and her daughters.

Jane Honda and her younger sister Kylie Honda both gained admission at the same time to Zeta high university. This makes bills paid around the house more tedious.

Kylie Honda plays the classical with jazz that's what she wants to be a well-recognized artiste, she takes are music lessons more seriously and loves to hang out with friends more often.

While Jane Honda sees herself as the one to foot the house bill with her mom.

she got a job at Buckers Cafe, she does it because she wants to be independent, they can no longer afford much food and luxuries since the death of Jonathan Riley her late father.

Jane Honda since she took up the job at Buckers Cafe her life took another turn.

The owner of the buckers cafe Robert Anderson loved Jane Honda's dedication to working she had won the employee of the month three consecutive times and is still the current holder.

Jane Honda loves serving customers at the cafe sometimes the customers are a little more demanding which jane takes up as a challenge she would work till it's late in the night and Mr. Anderson would have to drop her off.

Curfew had been placed, with three people missing and never found it's been announced by the local news there are serial killers on loose since the victim was three teenage girls so far aged between seventeen.

jane Honda wasn't fazed by the news, her mother wanted her to quit the job but jane would hear none of it.

Another major reason why Jane took up the job is that she keeps hearing voices in her head which at most times is scary, to be alone knowing you can't have a moment of silence.

she's highly psychic and people see it as a psychological problem.

Jane Honda at most times can hear voices inaudible to normal hearing, especially as a warning when something it's about to go wrong, and worse she read the minds of people who at the moment possess a great threat or danger.

Her pervert neighbor Mr. Perkins would stare at her bum all day long when she is spreading her clothes on the rope, whatever goes on in his sick pervert mind would not go unnoticed and if he tries to take a step further toward her pretending to be sweet and nice talking, Jane ends up avoiding him at all cost.

Mr. Perkins calls her the weird one while she calls him the old fart.

Jane Honda works to avoid baring into someone's idle thoughts she wears a beret to cover her long protruding ears almost as long and pointy as an elf's, she had born enough of cruel jokes.

When she is not in a beret at most times she had her ear muffins on at most times to avoid hearing people's thoughts.

Mr. Perkins is not the only one calling her a freak, some of the students of zeta high hostile to her calls her the freak to annoy her or call her psycho babe.
Her friends in the close circle of study group call her Jay, the only friend she had is Katherine Wilson also gifted in magic, most people are hostile to her, they nicknamed her the witch, and that exactly is what she is.

PULL UP IN A HEARSE



Jane!

mom!

Could you come down in here for a minute, please Felicia called out still reading the content of the front page newspaper

one minute mom, Jane answered still making a feeble attempt to get up but couldn't.

She muttered oh God I don't wanna be late for lectures, once am done with the early morning quiz I have to cover a double shift at work today she groaned as the door to her room opened.

oh, there you are, Felicia, beamed with a smile seems you don't feel like getting up sunshine pats her daughter's hair.

Cut it out mom what's up, why are you up in my room, well jane that's a good question I didn't know good old Tommy John Dee is coming to play at buckers cafe I do like to come and cheer for a little country music I could use some cheering this weekend.

Mom what are you now sixteen?, well am not a teenager but old Tommy was my schoolmate back in the days, and my crush until he went off uptown in New York to play a bit for the Yonkers and then switched to music.

Mom cut it out you are still drooling over old Tommy or whatever his name is.
Well, Felicia Honda flushed is not just that I would love to see him play.

Well mom keep it down with your hormones will you, jane teased her, now am fully awake I would love to hit the showers, what about Kylie mom? , well she left not long ago while you were still in la-la land.

Mom, you look energetic this morning, I like it.

Hey, jane be quick and off to school call me if you need anything, I have to go to work.

Jane's mom paused ruminative at the moment

( am I forgetting something Pete is supposed to take me out, oh yes hunky sweet dude)

Mom? jane intruded into her mom's thoughts at the moment.

yes, jane?

whose Pete?

Did you just read my mind, jane?

No, I thought I heard you whisper?

Stop doing that Jane, Pete is taking me out after work.

who is he? , jane asked smiling

None of your business he is just a colleague at work who sees you at the cafe this evening.

see you later mom bye.

Jane springs out of the bed like a ferret and rushes to the toilet to clean up.


The only thing jane hates about school is the fact, that the school has loads of cliques divided into fragments and tagged names.


The rats are the smart ones, not sociable to hang out with, they keep to themselves because they are more introverts when it comes to school hangouts

The socials are the ones who play instruments and belonged to the music department, they are more silent except during the night shows and performances.
Her sister Kylie belongs to this social strata

The ballers consist of sports guys, frat boys, cheerleaders, cool kids from rich homes, and alpha dominant, and strong males.

While the queens are the girls hanging out with sports kids and rich boys, the ruler of this group is known or referred to as the queen bee her name must not be spoken.

Last but not least is the gang she belonged in known as the freaks, she and her best friend Katherine runs the affairs of the group, she is psychic and Katherine is a witch but nobody but jane knows that for a fact.
The other two boys Marion and Figo are geeks who loved mysticism and fantasize about becoming vampires, they dress gothic and earned the name the Freaks.

Jane was done getting ready for school, as she was about to step out, her phone rang.

hey Kathy,

hey, sleepy head are you still in the house yet?

yeah, are you coming over?

Step out babe we are just at your doorstep

wait, you and who? , the boys silly Marion and Figo got this cool car from God to know where...jane hung up and opened the door.

She sees a black hearse pulled up in her front yard.

Hey, what's this? , are we attending a funeral with this? jane asked wide-eyed.

Marion laughed no jane we are picking up Tommy dee with this.

We are picking up a vampire Figo bowed mockingly. Katherine shoved him a little stop already with the vampire thing get in jane and stop staring like a dove.

Jane hopped in and rolled her eyes at her gang, oh we are so in for a grand entrance in school.





*************************************************
THE VENDETTA



The black hearse pulled up in the school parking lot, the students standing close to the packing lot turned in their direction, and the queen bees were standing close to the ballers.

they formed a semi-circle the girls in pairs holding hands with the boys each and laughing at remotely their lame jokes until jane Honda and her gang pulled up to become the subject of their fresh jokes.

The leader of the queen bee gang was Sophia brown been the principal's daughter had earned her the spot of the supreme queen, her father made sure no female students came close to this, it meant a lot to her, she was holding the hands of Tim Westwood the captain of Zeta high football team, both standing in the middle of the whole gang like alphas other members formed a semi-circle protecting them.

To the right-hand side was Ava Harris's richest and most popular student, her father Christopher Harris is the mayor of the town, she was holding hands with Franklin De Boa a foreign student newly transferred to Zeta high he is also on the football team, and from a reputable home.

While Chloe Johnson was standing on the left flank with her newfound boyfriend Brandon Marshall who is the school bully, he considers himself the toughest thug the school ever had even the school teachers are scared of him he's lawless, his father served in the military and retired as a major rumor has it he is armed with a beretta but nobody had seen him shoot it. He uses it to scare people into thinking he is a tough lad. Chloe Johnson's father Martins Johnson is a chief security officer in charge of the district.

As soon as Jane Honda steps out of the hearse with her gang of friends, the molestation began.

Look at what we have here if it isn't the freaks on heat, I wonder what's inside that hearse of theirs she sneered

Sophia brown has a way of intimidating people, her gang laughed.

Jane tried to step away but Ava Harris stepped in and blocked their path, lovely car you lots got what's inside it, a coffin? , the crowd jeered at the smell of booze.

Jane Honda gently tried to take the other side with her friends clustered behind her for protection but Brandon Marshall barricaded their path.

I may not like you freaks but I certainly would love to check your bags and pockets after that I might consider letting you go Brandon's voice sounded chill as ice.
Baby, maybe robbing these freaks won't be worth a nickel, they all look pathetic Chloe blurted.

Jane Honda smiled, am not letting you rob us, Brandon, we didn't do anything.

Wow, the freak has guts Tim Westwood exclaimed I like her already Sophia brown gave him a dirty look.

Sorry babe I ain't into freaks, Tim apologized.

Brandon took a menacing step you two empty your pockets now, Martins and Figo emptied their pockets in fright.

I ain't got nothing sir Martin said visibly shaken

What about you freak I have got only this, Figo brought out a sandwich pack.

Brandon knocked off the bag from Figo and the whole crowd roared out laughing

An ancient necklace with a gold pendant with strange runes written on it flashed and he dived for it before Figo and picked it up.

What is this relic object doing in your possession Harry Potter, he quickly nicknamed Figo and they all started laughing.

Hey give it back to him Katherine spoke up to everyone's surprise.

Who spoke? brandon's chill voice sounded irritated, he shoved Katherine and she fell.

Marion and Figo rushed and squatted to help Katherine up.

The gangs laughed and turned to take their leave

Maybe if you care not to be a douchebag for one second the world will be a better place, Jane Honda spoke, the whole gang halted and turned all at once.

Sophia's brown eyes met with jane, she walked up silently and smacked her across the check and she struck back.

Tim Westwood jumped in and shoved jane Honda back hey watch it that's my girl you freak, you lucky I don't hit females.

Sophia brown started to cry, this freak touched me, hit her for me, my love

I don't hit females Tim Westwood's tone conveyed a finality.

So you will let her get away with this?

Ava and Chloe rushed to jane Honda and started to hit her with slaps Katherine joined the fight and the girls were pulled each other, the boys separated the girls

Marion and Figo held Katherine and Jane back while Tim and Franklin held ava and Chloe back.

The school chief security Mr. Keane stepped and roared all of you stop this he waved his baton at them, that's it is taking you all to the principal.

Brandon took a quick step and snatched the baton off him, back off sir I would hurt you.

How dare you Brandon Marshall hand over that baton or you go in for it.

No sir, not without hitting the leader of the freak pack first, he ran close to jane Honda raised it to hit her, Katherine standing behind jane waved her hand whispering some arcane words, an invisible force hit Brandon and sent him sailing at least four feet and dropping him to the floor.

Everyone looked shocked it appeared like Jane Honda had some sort of invisible protective shield and it looked to everyone like a protagonist was standing in front of Jane, everyone body took to their heels except jane and her friends.

The chief school security gave her a scared and puzzled look, if you all will please follow me to the principal's office I would be pleased.

Please ma'am he took a step back, I don't want you lot mixing up with things one cannot explain.

Jane Honda looked at her friends, it's ok you all can go I started this in the first place I will see you all during recess.

you can't go alone in there I am going with your jane, Katherine assured her.

The boys walked away quickly, while Katherine escorted Jane to the principal's office, the chief security picked up the relic object.

I believe one of you left this behind, he yelled.

It's for Figo I will give it back to him, jane took the object and joined her friend.

I heard you speak in strange tongues jane whispered to Katherine.

Shut up I will explain later Katherine replied.

you better do, because everyone would certainly start labeling me a witch soon jane nudged her friend.

Are you a...witch jane sputtered

A witch? Katherine inferred her friend's statement.

Yes, of course, am a witch, but it's a secret ok? Katherine murmured to jane.

your secret is safe with me and you are so cool, jane whispered

The girls glanced back at the security to be sure he wasn't eavesdropping on their conversation.

He lingered a few yards behind them with his eyes fixated on the girls, occasionally the girls would glance back and meet his eyes and they giggle poor man seem scared to his wits

They both held hands stepping into the principal's office.

The principal's office was at the far end of the administrative block, different from the building where students held their lectures. the blocks is been divided, the administrative block is where the principal's main office was, the school cafeteria was built close to the school hostel

while the lecture halls and games hall was built separate, and in the middle was the assembly ground, a huge podium was mounted where the teachers, staff, and principal must mount to address the students.

As jane and Katherine were about to knock at the door the buzzer went off signifying the principal had watched them through the CCTV

the girls opened the door and went in, Sophia was standing behind her father's desk while others were seated except for Brandon who was absent.

But the school nurse was inside the office staring at the girls like they are something that came out of a horror flick.

Which one of you hurt Brandon Marshall? the principal growled.

Jane stared at the name tag Sir Beckford Brown this was her first time visiting the school administrative block.

Nobody hurt him, Jane answered

liar! Sophia brown yelled

Then who did, the principal's voice sounded like he was about to lose his cool

Katherine raised her hands, sir he slipped and fell.

This witch hurt my boyfriend Chloe waved her hand menacingly at Jane.

Be careful with your choice of words young lady, the principal warned this is a school.

Sophia scoffs, dad maybe you should expel her and send her to Hogwarts.

Maybe I should give all of you detention, the principal sounded angry, the major had just called me not a few minutes ago and you girls are here to tell me Brandon fell, tell me what happened to you, he pointed at Tim Westwood.

Sir, the girls had a misunderstanding, along the line the freaks tried to get violent.

the Principal raised his brow at him

Sorry, sir, they attacked us.

you mean to tell me these two girls attacked you all, and according to the nurse here, medical report and X-rays showed Brandon broke a rib, with what exactly? , amuse me the principal spoke.

well, they had a baton they stole it from the chief security! sir Franklin spoke

he is lying the jane screamed I can never use that on a fellow student

Is that right? the principal sneered

I wonder what the chief security has to say about all this, where you disarmed by these two girls? everybody turned to the chief security who just stepped into the office.

No sir, Brandon was the culprit and the bully, he snatched it from me, tried to run with it, guess he's out of his mind only he fell.

Very Well, I would explain this to his father meanwhile you may all leave.

But dad, can you at least give them detention, please.

Well, except it includes you and everybody making trouble at the parking lot otherwise I see no point in this.

Sophia brown stared at jane with much hate and walked out of the office.
