RIGHT AFTER HIGH SCHOOL BY LYDIA OGUNLOLA chapter 3
" .....Read through last three chapters and answer the questions on the last page" Mr. Bob, a very funny English teacher said as he called it a day.
It's a couple of days before the examination and that means two classes per day..... English class was interesting at least i didn't sleep....I turned to speak to Dolly who was busy chatting on her phone when I spotted him,the mysterious newbie from yesterday, across the classroom busy with God knows what.... Before I could figure out what he was doing I saw someone else.... Immediately my eyes lit up
June!!! I exclaimed
June was my friend from primary school...It's been a whole year I lost her contact
Her head snapped to my direction before she let out a face-breaking grin
"Hey! Lily" she said walking towards my direction.
Then I heard his voice again "shit!"
"He's such a sadist" I thought
I returned my attention to June...We started talking right away...I missed her!
I looked up to see the class talkative who happened to be the tutorial janitor coming towards us
"Your friend is coming" Dolly said with a chuckle
" Thanks for stating the obvious" I said and rolled my eyes for the hundredth time today..... Everything seems to annoy me in this tutorial except my friends and chocolates of course
Dolly laughed a little and snapped her finger "go"
Before I could understand
"Hello! pretties " Ben said in the most annoying voice
"Hey! " we said in unison
"What's up? I heard one of you guys shares chocolates
My friends were holding back their laughter with the look on my face but I had another thing in mind
"Yeah, actually it's me...Want some? I stepped forward
"Sure" his face lit up
"On one condition" I said with smirking
Dolly and June were looking at me like I grew another head
"What's that?" He said impatiently
"The newbie over there...I nod in his direction... What's his name? " I asked feeling like a stalker
Ben,Dolly and June burst into laughter
Gosh! I'm so embarrassed right now
Hey! U guys should stop!
" Okay okay... I will tell you" Ben said after gaining his composure
"His name is June" He added
"What?" Dolly and I said in unison except June of course who didn't seem surprised
We both turned to her...."You knew?
"Yep,we met at the cafe and exchanged numbers...He won't stop calling me... Annoying" she answered
" Huh....okay"
"M still here... Chocolates " Ben chipped in
"Here you go" I handed him two sachets
Before any of us could utter another word,Mr. Alfred decided to make his grand entrance...I rolled my eyes before waving at Dolly who's already leaving for her next class and I took my seat next to June.
The class is about to end with Mr.Alfred glaring at me at every opportunity
"He really hates me" I told June
"You can be annoying.. You know... you and Dolly" she answered with a smile
"But he doesn't need to make it so obvious" I said and earned a chuckle from June
"Both of you!! Up!" Mr.Alfred said suddenly
Heck! I thought he was out of class
We both stood up at once. Mr.Alfred came to closer with his monitoring hawk eyes...You know the type that tells u... I can see ur soul
He smiled at June and then looked at me
I was shifting on both legs, looking down
"What's your name?" He asked
"Huh.. Me?" I looked up to see his face blazing with anger....I can even imagine smokes coming out of his ears
"Good Lily... Right time to joke around" my inner voice said
I felt the urge to snap at her but....
"Answer me!!!" Mr. Alfred cuts in again
"Ummm....Lily" I answered
"Hmmm...Why waste your time and money to come to this tutorial when it's obvious you're going to fail....The exam is a couple of days away and your level of seriousness is nothing to write home about.....Why can't you emulate your friend June.. She's very calm and serious... Listen carefully, next time you disturb my class...I'm sending you out! Copied? " He finished with another glare
I was too hurt to answer him,I
Felt like a sword has just been stuck inside my heart
"Lily....." June tried to say but I cut her off with a wave of my fingers
I left the classroom,All eyes on me.
While walking down the corridor without looking up, someone bumped into me and I almost fell. That boy didn't bother to say sorry or something.He just stared at me and continued his walk
"Those eyes....I thought
Someone has to teach him some manners
"Yah!" I shouted at him and everyone around me gasped... Even Dolly who is now coming out of her class
The boy turned around and looked at me
"Don't you have some manners?"
You should say sorry when u bump into someone! I yelled angrily
"Sorry? I think you should watch where you're going next time? He spat back
Dolly was now close and poking my arm...She knows what I can do when I'm angry
Ignoring Dolly's action I said to the boy
"Hey Junieboy or whatever name were you given: Stay away from me!!! " I said in my most intimidating voice
I left without anyone uttering a single word
" Cool girl!" My inner voice fist bumped
I heard Dolly's voice calling out to me but I ignored
I decided to walk home.
