Started with me and ended with us

chapter 2

A/n what was your worst embarrassment in school 😂

I walked around straight in the hallway where people were rushing, I took out my timetable from my bag and discovered the first class I had was English in room 14 followed by mathematics as my second class in room 12. I shouted "Shit" unconsciously. I was lost in my world, unaware that some groups of friends had stopped and were staring at me.

"Hii, guess you are lost," one of the friends said.

"No, I think she is scared of the class she is having this morning," another of the friends said.

They were two friends, both boys. One looked tiny. He had bright blond hair and a toothy smile that brought out the dimple on both of his cheeks. His emerald eyes sparkled with vivacity. Despite his tiny look, he wore an oversized sweater that dropped down his shoulder and revealed his pale silky skin and his prominent collarbone. While the other friend looks smart and orders the glasses framing his eyes, his black shirt stock into his pants neatly.

"Hii," I said when I discovered that both friends were still trying to figure out why I was staring at my timetable and shouting. "I am Michelle Desmond ''.

"I'm Steven," the tiny guy said stretching his hands to me that were covered with his oversized sweater,  "and this is Joel," he said I nodded with a smile taking his hands and shaking it.

" We are already late for class, what class are you having?" Joel asked.

"English, I don't know my way around but the timetable shows the class is in Room 14."

" We are both in the same class, let's go. We will show you around when the class is over."

"Ok, " I said, as we got to the class.

The two boys rushed to their seats I was standing still staring at the teacher, and the first thing I noticed was his shiny scalp it looked as if he waxed it every morning everything about him looked order from his head to his feet his pair of blue shirt stock neatly into his black pants, his black shiny shoe and his tie perfectly knot around his neck.

"Good morning, I am Michelle Desmond," I muttered, breaking the silence because everyone was staring at me like an alien who fell and missed her address.

" You are late Mrs. Desmond," he said, staring deep into my eyes which looked scary and creepy.

" Sorry sir, I am new here. I was trying to find my way around," I replied.

" Fix yourself,  we need to start now," he said, turning to look at his computer. I looked around and found an empty seat close to a student who looked as if she was forced to be in school that morning. I walked there staring at the ground and sat down at the seat.

" Good morning, is this seat taken already? '' There was no reply, she didn't even stare at me, I just sat down trying to forget about the whole scenario that has befall me since morning, not until I heard my name mentioned by the teacher.

" Mrs Desmond, if you're going to be in my class you have to use your textbook and also take down notes and stop looking at your feet like a lost sheep in my class." I could hear the sound of people laughing from every corner, worst embarrassment of the day I could even hear someone saying "Her shoes don't even look expensive dose it," I put my hands into my bag and broke my pen because I was so annoyed and frustrated, brought out my book and textbook before remembering I broke my pen. I kept on looking into my bag Even though I knew I had only one pen.

"Use this try not to break your pen whenever you're frustrated" She dropped her pen on the desk laying her head on her table.

" Thank you," I muttered under my breath. I took notes Even though I knew I didn't understand anything the man was saying because I was very bad at English. I wasn't as good as Micheal, my elder brother, who was good at every subject.

As soon as the class was over there were a lot of students trooping over to my desk asking different questions, "Where are you expelled, which sport are you good at, where are you part of the cheerleader club?" and a lot more questions.

"I was not expelled" I replied but another student asked, "If you were not expelled why are you here then?"

"Nosy, y'all go find something to do" I took my head up and saw Steven, he was trying to save me from the interrogation section of the students. " Michelle let's go"

"Ok," I replied hurriedly, packing up all my stuff and following him.

" Michelle, don't worry, they will soon get used to you and stop asking all those questions."

" It's fine, they 're just curious I guess." I replied and kept quiet still thinking about my seatmate who gave me her pen and slept off while the teacher didn't say anything to her but when I was a little bit lost I was scolded and she wasn't scolded, "Is she special than other, she doesn't have two head?" I let out a loud sigh that caught Steven and Joel's attention. They paused and turned to look toward me.

"What's wrong  Michelle?" Steven looked towards me with a concerned expression.

"Nothing really, just that my seatmate doesn't seem interested in studying. She gave me her pen today and slept throughout the class. The teacher didn't say anything but when I was a little bit lost I was scolded."

"Oh that, she is mostly referred to as the Lord of books, there is no subject she is not good at so teachers don't bother about her and her parents are wealthy and no staff wants to implicate him or herself," Joel replied.

" You mean like Lord of the Rings?" I replied laughing. I never heard of Lord of the Books the first time I heard this and about her parents being wealthy like who cares about them. I thought everyone is supposed to be equal here."

"Just ignore her ok if you don't want to be embarrassed Steven said laughing she barely makes friends and always refuses to tutor anyone, but I can tutor you if you have any problem," he said, staring at Joel and smiling.

"Am sure you don't want to fail Michelle, this boy over here is a great teacher if you have plans of failing right Steven."

" Lol, you both are in a funny hurry to class," I said, staring at both of them laughing. Steven was trying to hit Joel on the head and was jumping like a frog while Joel kept on raising his feet. They look cute together.
