Chapter Five

*So after bumping into Mr .Frowns earlier that day ,I hid myself in the school's library until the sirens notified me that I had my first class .It was geography and I thought about who starts a class on such a bad note .I actually disliked studying geography because it looked so complicated in my contest but not until he entered the class .

Our gazes met but I tried to cover up my face with my hair .He had worn new t-shirts and he made his way to sit beside me since there was one more empty space to be filled .

OMG ! What a bad day ,I said .How was I supposed to know that he was my classmate and on top of that he sat right beside me .What a twist of fate ?

Here I was thinking I had run away from his presence but everything has become cos 90 . Just then the facilitator enters the class and greets us *

"Good morning students ..!"She greeted as we responded with much excitement .But I wasn't excited since he was sitting beside me and he didn't seem to care .

Did he forget about what I did to his shirt earlier in the corridor or what ?

"I haven't forgotten how you ruined my T-shirt earlier ,four eyes !" He said, raising his brow .

Was he reading my mind ? I questioned myself, or probably, he could tell from my nervousness and uncomfortable state.I thought once again raising my brow too, to show him that I wasn't afraid of him while I adjusted my spectacles to perfection .

"You are the new students who have been admitted into the high school just some hours ago …!"The facilitator continues to speak…" So I hope you give out your best while in school .You should make the most of your time here in Brisard High School and allow the school to pass through you and not vice versa .

Alright then ,a word to the wise is enough .My name is Mrs . Daniela Jones and I will be taking you through geography .It would be better if I knew your names too ,to have an interactive class !"

*Everyone kept mentioning their names except for Mr.Frowns and I .We were sitting in front of the class while Mrs .Jones started her roll call from behind .*

"Sylvester Woods! !"He stood up and replied obediently .There was something funny about his name .His name would have been a pun in literature if we were to be having that right now .

Sylvester meant wood , at least , as per the books I have read and his surname was Woods which meant that he was called "Wood Woods " ,maybe that's why he lacks this smile on his face ,I thought and giggled forgetting that Mrs .Jones was asking for my name .

"Miss !.....miss !!"She called out loudly, getting the attention of everyone in the class .

"Rose Darlington !"I pronounced it as if I was tapped from my sleep and had a little shiver in my voice .

*The whole class began to laugh at my reaction towards my name .But I didn't care because dad told me that ,at times in life ,you will need to be a laughing stock in front of others to achieve success .

… ...

*Bridget ,these words still ring in my memories till now !

"Let me check on the food before it gets burnt ..!"Bridget says and heads to the kitchen .

"Some more minutes to get fully prepared …"She said as she kept the kitchen napkin on her shoulders and sat down.

"This means that I have some time to continue my story .."Rose said .

He was laughing too but I created my own atmosphere of laughter by recalling the analysis I made of his name which he had no idea of .*

.. ..

"From the basic school ,I know you have heard a lot about geography …!"Mrs .Jones continues to speak …"But over here it would be a bit different from what you learnt back then !"She added .

OMG ,another disaster !Everything about geography just drives me insane ,I thought while Mrs .Jones continued to speak .

*He raised his hands to answer every question that was asked which means that he was a "shark" in geography or better still ,he loved the subject unlike me who couldn't comprehend anything that the teacher was saying but I wasn't going to give him the benefit of the doubt to get something to use against me so I raised my hands to the next question of Mrs .Jones and guess what .....!*
