《Alexander Creed: Re-Life》Chapter 52: Summer Plans
Advertisement
Summer break and school's last day and last hour eventually did come.
Miss Hansen dismissed her class with heartfelt tears and when the school bell finally rang, cheers could be heard across the entire school.
Almost everyone stampeded towards the exit and was ready to say good riddance to tedious lessons and troublesome assignments.
Alexander already overlooked many of the details during his this retaking of first grade.
As for the matters of school, it was the same as always. Having to learn something you learned in the past be taught to you again was not pleasant. Especially, when the teacher lumps you in their methods which deem you as ignorant.
He was still intrigued by some of the biggest event that he had never thought was possible before though.
It had something to do with the 'Ee' trio finally not being able to contain their childish ambitions.
At one fateful day and one fateful lunchtime at the cafeteria, Barty and Clarky showcased their abilities.
Barty's 'Ee' gang that was formed from his rich kid identity while Clarky's 'Ee' group that was scrambled due to his new rich kid identity.
To the surprise of everyone enjoying their lunch, they faced each other intending to take down the opposite group.
Apparently, Barty's Dad and Clarky's Dad were now extreme enemies with Clarky's Dad making it rich due to cashing in on company strategies.
The kids want to continue their parent's feud and felt that the fateful lunchtime was the perfect time to do it.
Olly, the most ingenious of the 'Ee' trio, seems to have no intention of joining along until 'Ee' girls rose up from their seats and made everything into a three-way confrontation.
Unlike the other two who used their rich kid identities, Olly was at a disadvantage but that didn't stop him from using the loopholes of recruiting girls. Thus, he had a fighting chance and wanted to take the throne of the 'Ee' kingdom for himself.

Vengeful Barty, Unleashed Clarky, and Ambitious but Somehow a Feminist Olly stared down with their 'Ee' lackies behind them.
Trouble ensued as their groups finally could not contain themselves and started roughhousing.
The older students seem to not want to be left off as they joined the 'Ee' conflict and inadvertently developed the cafeteria into a zone for a fight, a food fight to be exact.
The entire place became a mess as cafeteria ladies and teachers struggle to contain the ruckus and pandemonium.
As chaotic as it was, it eventually died down with the responsible being punished.
To think that it had all started because three best friends turned against each other.
The trio became mellow ever since as they still weren't able to see eye to eye but were forced to do detentions together.
Miss Hansen, who got the most trouble from their troubles, made sure to make them the bestest of friends as her payback.
Everything went smoothly calm after all those things.
As much as how unexpected and stupid it was, that unlikely event became the most memorable moment for a lot of grade-schoolers and teachers.
It was the epitome of the year that they went through together.
Perhaps a lot of people joining the summer stampede are also reminiscing about that event as they rush through the halls.
Alexander wisely awaited the flock just as how he wisely left the cafeteria during the 'Ee' revolution.
He took the school bus to head home and bid farewell to his new first-grade memories as well.
Re-taking of second grade was coming next but he still had a lot of important summer break responsibilities to do before.
The school was given a bid farewell to and had to wait in line before it becomes relevant once again.

Back at home in a deceptively suburban San Fernando Valley neighborhood.

Alexander was starting his summer break with his grandfather.
During these times with his grandfather when he wasn't caught up with comic booking, they mostly spent it on discussing pertinent events.
Alexander was determined to take this time to learn more about business and know the strategies that his grandfather had employed in that field.
Even though he had read the collected business books that his grandfather has left behind before, they were all theoretical compared to someone who was employing them at the moment.
His grandfather was spoiling enough to indulge and the gratified look in his wrinkled face was enough to tell Alexander that the old man was proud of his recent achievements and his curiosities towards the business fields.
How could he not when Alexander's supposedly little pet projects were making waves on the comic book society as they stay seated.
Having your only relative gain an appreciation and interest in your specialty was a triumph that must be cherished.
In old Sullivan's eyes, young Alex was absorbing the knowledge much more efficiently than the metaphorical sponge.
Giving Creed Comics as a training wheel for the boy has worked out perfectly as Sullivan planned it to be.
If he could impart more of his business knowledge on the boy, then there was no doubt that the comic book company could go even further.
-----
Alexander took these moments to learn more about his grandfather's exploits in the European clothing market with his designer grandmother. It was inspiring and heartbreaking to be retold for the old man.
Knowing about the old man's strategies in earning low-wage American jobs was haunting.
Emulating from his time in controlling budgets and film undertakings as an assistant director could be quite imaginative.
It was all different from the computer codings that Alexander was used to but it was still an exciting field to tackle.
This was evident of his enjoyment with the status of being the little boss of Creed Comics.
His one-track mind unto the peak of computers had long been divergent and open to new paths ever since this re-life began.
For someone who had been incredibly persistent, unswervingly devoted to programming, and achieved the level of luckily finding out a flaw in the so-called 'great system', Alexander Creed was a force to be reckoned with.
To enrich the Creed legacy, meticulousness, efficiency, and lack of procrastination were of utmost necessity.
The efficient Creed of Silicon Valley has long branched out to reach farther than ever before. Playing his strengths right and having back-ups is one of Alexander's programming creeds.
Hopefully, this creed would be applicable in taking on the business dynamics of the world.
The comic book industry may just be the easiest level of them all yet it still had other dimensions to be explored.
For Alexander, this summer break and collection of Sullivan business exploits was the perfect time to expand his new business outlook from the comic book industry.
As for what it is, he has already gotten a concrete idea in mind. Summer plans were being formed and it just needed to be implemented.
