The Under-dog Billionaire

Chapter ten

Jeff moved in with his friends they did as if they didn't see Ashley and her companions.

They moved to a particular area of the hall and started admiring the decorations "look at that side dude" mike said, looking at where the decorated names of all the graduating students.

This looks nice legs go and find out what is there, they reached out to the point where they were looking at and started to check out their names, "see me, bro" Phil added

Mike and joe all saw their names but couldn't see jeffs name "are you not graduating " mike said trying to mock Jeff, but Jeff kept his eyes on the board trying to make some sense out of the list.

Both of his friends are shocked because his name was supposed to exist at the top of the list, how comes he out?

They tried to check one more time and saw his name written with red ink at the top of the list, not even where other students' names were.

In the end, joe tried to make some by telling them to go back and start something else that will help them.

Making their way out of the hall Jeff still can't believe why his name is written that way, he keeps on thinking while they are passing by with his friend.

********

They stopped by to buy some groceries for themselves the lady selling looks very funny and she was nice to chat with around the school compound, you will always hear a good review about her.

While they are busy buying what they needed Jeff quickly suggested that he needs to go and get some things in town and will also go to check on his mother, they shouldn't bother he will be okay and back soon.

But Mike insisted that if that is the case then they should go together since he also wanted to meet and greet Jeff's mom.

Jeff tried to say no, but mike insisted and his friends also supported him, Jeff don't have any other choice than to accept going out with his friend.

If that is the case come let's go "Jeff said and started moving"

Mike followed him as they all zoomed off

*******

At the town, Jeff tried as much as feasible to hide everything his going through from mike, but that didn't last long because he needed to withdraw some cash and also buy some stuff before heading to his mom's area.

While they are in the cab mike tried to hide their nervous system of his and stay calm without being offensive to anyone.

They stopped by an ATM and printed some cash, but mike was terrified by the amount of money Jeff withdrew.

"That's much bro, where did you get them from?" Mike asked jeff, but he didn't answer and did as if he was not speaking to him.

He calmly folded the thousands of dollars he just withdraws and put them into his pocket creating a bulky sign of money around his trousers lane.

"let's go," Jeff said to mike, trying not to see mike's face and claiming nothing to be surprised of.

Mike couldn't believe his eyes and was shocked generally but he keep on following Jeff trying to see if there is any part of the story that he will understand.

They reached the bus stop and waited for a few minutes before the bus showed up they started a new short trip that mike didn't even know about.

They traveled for so many hours without stopping and mike is already afraid because of the journey and the sudden money he see Jeff withdraw from the bank.

"bro please is there anything need to know?" mike asked Jeff

" I don't understand you mike"

Mike "everything is not normal, you don't seem normal, and about the Atm stuff and everything please explain something to me"

Jeff emailed and said "everything is okay bro, your just hungry and we will get you something to eat very soon"

They reached their destination and moved out of the boss paying the conductors their fees a young lady was also on the same bus and she have been glancing at Jeff he have it in mind to pay for her fees too he paid and started to move around and breath the new fresh air from his birthplace

Some children were playing around the roadside and they rushed to hug and welcome him, he also smiled at them and offered them some little pennies that he have been saving when life was hard.

He walked past some trees and they started to see the farmer's houses he just can't believe that he will some days take his mom out of that place and the days are fast approaching.

You can see how hard people leave around there, the majority of people here are widows, women whose husbands have lost their vitalities.

They struggle, farm, and work hard to see their children go to school, they all believe in education and can do the unimaginable for school.

They always celebrate whenever any of their children graduate from high school.

Mike was so impressed by the kind of people his catching a glimpse of "These people live pure cultural life" mike said to himself.

When Jeff's mom saw him she could not believe her eyes, she rushed and hug him trying as much as possible not to cry.

Jeff was the one that started to cry this time believing that everything is okay, his mother was shocked to see her son cry this time she asked if something was wrong, which was when she realized that mike was also there

"Good afternoon ma" mike greeted

"How are you, my son?" " Please you guys should come In.

She leads them to her apartment and went to get them something to drink because they have been on a short trip.

Mike was so shocked by how he saw Jeff's real family and background, he can't believe that such a brilliant person will come out of that slump.
