For some reason i felt guilty, i had a chance to prove to her i am a better person than what the rumors said and, i threw it all away right on her face.
This is more frustrating than i thought, i used to have one friend who did everything together with me, we even had our timetable changed so we could be spend the whole school hours with each other until last summer It ended when her dad got a better job offer and she had to transfer to another school leaving me behind to deal with the memories.
I miss her so much it still hurts doing everything without her here to question and tease me about it, she was the best thing that has ever happened to me in the whole of the five years have spent learning in this school.
Finally, i made it to class five minutes earlier than the rest and headed all the way to the back. Its the perfect place to isolate myself from human judgment. The last time i sat upfront, Isabella wouldn't stop laughing at my messy bun, she even went as far as comparing it to a cow dump which wasn't even funny, but of course the class thinks otherwise. It took The issuance of detention notes from the teacher to get them to calm down from laughing.
At first it didn't mean anything until the rest of the basketball team guys joined in nicknaming me the cow dump girl, i felt conscious of myself since then and i couldn't figure a way to erase that episode.
The tortuous moment became worse when in the next class a teacher called me to solve a math problem on the board which ended with him pointing to my white joggers, my eyes went wide and my inside died at the bright red color glaring at me.
The class erupted into laughter with the girls giggling and the guys drumming their hands and pencils on the table at my embarrassing moment, i spent the rest of the day hiding in the toilet.
I learnt from my mistakes and never sat in front again and i always check my butt too, but that is always before i get up before the class to solve or answer a question, regardless of my new seat.
My eyes darted straight to the door, i wasn't expecting anyone but it has become an habit over time. And the first person who walked in was Catalina, accompanied by her boyfriend Steven with his gangs.
Its true when they said two like poles attracts, am glad they found each other. I will feel sorry if this two people met someone innocent and human like me.
I felt an excruciating pain on my lap, it felt like I had been stung by a small ant, i looked down to pinch it off only to see the pain was nothing more than me pinching myself in fear of having to face been bullied by his group.
Catalina seem so engrossed in her conversation that she went straight to her seat and settled herself on Stevens lap.
I loosened the grip and released a sigh, bringing out my books and pen placing them neatly on the table. I took out my head pod and sticked them into my ears listening to Adele.
I do this every time to block my ears out, i hate it when they succeed in making me cry.
Reflecting on how fast Cain ran past me in the hallway brushing me slightly by the shoulders made me happy. If i wasn't always in my bootie and hoodie, will i stand a chance with him.
Come to think of it, he has never bullied me before although, he has never spoken to me either except for today when he apologized for brushing past me.
I guess life is finally in agreement with me.
The school Bell went off...and everyone was seated waiting quietly for class to begin, that's weird because our class is never this quiet without a teachers presence.
Morning everyone. Mrs Thompson the oldest teacher in the school said to us all, walking in with a belt in her left hand and a small jar of nuts under her right armpit.
Good morning Mrs Thompson.
She cleared her throat, i have an announcement to make.
We straighted our body on hearing that. I prayed silently for it to be a good news because my body can no longer handle any sad news.
We have new students joining us for the finals she said smiling.
What?
What?
What?
New students.
Not one but two or more.
Just like that the class transformed into a market place with noise rising from every four corners..
I guess am not the only one surprised at that, murmurs were going on about the fact she pluralized the word student into students. To be candid i don't even know why we find it surprising, it's school after all and everyone is entitled to education.
Come in boys she gestured to the door, gasp were heard at the appearance of the three guys walking into the class, more like bounced into the class.
Immediately, the class became eerily quite, the girls were awed at the perfection of their faces while the look of some of the guys held fear and jealousy.
I for one had my eyes fixed on the guy with the black hair, i couldn't take my eyes off until he caught me staring.
I tilted my face to the other side quickly, pretending to be staring out the window, you could visibly see the rise and fall of my chest, the tension building within me.
"Oh my God! Oh my God! I hope he didn't notice me gawking at him like the rest of the girls.
"Keddy! Mrs Thompson called, i stood up at once, it was so fast you will think someone tapped me to, before she called my name. I was freaking out on the inside but on the outside, i looked calm.
I had no idea if i was going to be rebuked, rather than wait patiently to find out why, i went straight out to apologizing to her for my behavior, wiping my sweaty palms on my dress skirt.
If any one of you have difficulties catching up with your studies, meet with her for extra tutorial Mrs Thompson said sweetly to the boys.
The guys nodded except for him.
Its courtesy to ask before you take but unfortunately for me, Mrs Thompson didn't care to know if i was interested in doing the boys a favor..
I wasn't that bothered either, the only thing clouding my mind at the moment was the look in his eyes.
