"Take this off"

I was nearly heading out of the classroom when my teacher stopped me by uttering such words.

I turned to him, his hand still holding the marker, scribbling down on the board.

"Does the rulebook not mention that garments other than school uniforms are not permissible here? " He asked,l while putting a full stop, placing the pen back in its prior place, and shifting his attention to me, most probably on the black jacket I wore.

First, he kicked me out of his class since he caught me yawning during the lecture. This was also one of the reasons I was not able to get good marks in his subject because half of the time I stood outside the classroom and I space out or fall asleep hence I never get the chance to learn.

And when I was going out to take my punishment he stopped me and demanded me to undo my clothes. He had some personal issues with me I guess.

crossing his arms over his chest he repeated his words "Take it off Miss Hernandez" his brows furrowed.

And I listened to him, inhaling a long breath, I unzipped the jacket. Discarding it from my body, I sense all the twenty pairs of eyes turn to me and sneakers spread across the room.

My face reddened, and I grimaced when the pang of discomfort I felt crawled up to my entire self.

The sound echoes in the back of the class as some boys oohing at me my eyes shut immediately and my fist clenched tight. capturing so much attention was not something I desired. I dislike people looking at me or talking to me and whatever happening right now here's beyond my imagination.

They acted like I pulled some kind of strip show in front of them. They found a reason to ridicule me just like always.

I put the jacket on my teacher's desk and exited the classroom without sparing a glance at anyone.

Bad things come in series if your day initiatives with any bad incident.

For Instance today I woke up late like always, I was not able to find my uniform, which I looked everywhere for, but it was nowhere. I searched for it in every corner of my house then I had to put on my old uniform instead.

Last night Albert apprised me that he purchased me a blazer which my mother purposely forgot to buy for me. It's his greatness that he always brings me whatever I want before I ask for it. he could not see me unhappy even for a little thing.

And here I have been scatterbrained for so many years...whose mind not relish to function in the morning. it took me more than an hour sometimes to be operative which caused me trouble so many times. I had long forgotten that I had a blazer now, therefore I wore the black jacket but the jacket wasn't the only reason. A major reason for all this humiliation was my uniform. am I still unable to remember in which corner of my house I shoved it, it was missing from its place.
