Chapter 10

“Well Mr. Alex”, Henry said after a long time, “I think we have a deal as long as everything goes well, because even I can’t afford to lose a good student like her”, he said and immediately Florencia let out a sigh of relief she had been holding in, “thanks for your cooperation”, Alex said shaking hands with Henry.

“no problem….., but Mr. Alex”, Henry said,

“yes”, he answered,

“I do wonder one thing”, Henry said,

“what??”, He asked,

“why didn’t you become a business negotiator, no offense but with this skills you could have made it far”, Henry said,

“(smiles) sir please don’t flatter me, it was nothing but the brain at work,

even if I did have such skills, I would have to do something to chase away all those old men who would want to hook me up with their daughters because my wife would kill would end up killing someone’s child”, Alex said and wink at his wife who immediately hid her cherry red tomato face,

“wow Mr. Alex you’re not just good in negotiation,

you’ve also got a great sense of humor but am still shocked that even at this age you still now how to pick up girls”, Henry commented,

“well sir what can I say other than it runs in the family, besides I ain’t old am still in my thirties,

are you wishing me dead (puts one hand his chest and the other on his forehead) oh my poor heart”, he said and they all shared a laugh at his reaction before bidding each other goodbye.

(In the hall)

“wow!! Isn’t that Xio??”, a girl said,

“OMG!!”, so the rumors are true, she is pregnant”, another girl said,

“as if getting pregnant is not shameful enough, she even went ahead to flaunt that dirty thing, like as if she is a superstar or something”, said another,

“yeah!! I haven’t seen someone as shameless this shameless”, another girl said,

“she is officially the Queen of shamelessness”, another said but they weren’t the only ones speaking in low tones as the whole school was talking the moment Xio stepped in, insult were coming from left, right, front, back and center but she couldn’t care less, the only thing on her mind was how to take care of herself and the baby even though she didn’t know the father, she was determined to give the baby a good life.

“good morning students”, said Mr. Anthony their science teacher,

“good morning sir”, they chorused,

“today we are going to be treating the topic fertilization, ovulation, and fetus formation and am sure you have been taught this before, so I expect to mature minded people in my class??”, he asked,

“yes sir”, they chorused,

“we even have and expert in our mist”, said a girl,

“Tiffany”, he called,

“yes sir”, she answered with a little fear in her,

“sir, please do calm down, she’s not wrong”, Xio said and everyone looked at her in shock,

“I mean she is the class mouth piece, so for her to say it mean that not just her but the whole class has finally acknowledge the fact that I am the expert in the mist of dullards and the wise amongst fools, and as an expert,

I am miles away from everyone, so in other words she is admitting to her stupidity and confessing that she and the class can’t catch up with me,

so don’t be annoyed as I said before she’s only but a month piece for the class”, Xio said calmly and Tiffany’s cheeks turned red with anger and embarrassment but she quickly composed herself and counter attack,

“for the first time we both agree on something, so scholar Xio hope you won’t mind teaching us today, I mean since you are more knowledgeable than us it’s only fair that you teach us,

after all we are all from the same generation so we’ll be understand better or what do you think”, she said and the whole class agreed with that but on the other hand Xio kept quiet and was staring into space.

“what happened guru??”, She asked coquettishly,

“I was just looking at how to break it down for you to understand”, xio said before standing shocking everyone,

“so do I have permission to take over sir??”, she asked,

“in this condition, no way, I would rather have you sit”, he said,

“as long as I have your permission, it’s fine, after all I’m just pregnant not cripple, I’ll be fine”, she said, “alright then, you can go ahead”, he said before sitting on her sit.

“Good morning class”, she began but no one responded,

“good morning class”, she said again but no one responded,

“(sighs) sir hope you won’t mind if I borrowed your apple, am really hungry”, she said,

“no problem, feel free, after all you are the teacher”, he said and she smiled before picking the apple cleaning and murmuring something after which she threw it to the air,

standing on her left toes she spun her right leg and kicked the apple,

those who had fast reflex’s dodges on time,

as they sighed in relief, someone screamed in pain and immediately those in front sighed in pity as in order to save themselves they harmed another,

as they turned to see who the unfortunate person was,

all the pity they had at first vanished and was replaced with fear as they saw who it was, while those who not on the row the apple flew over thanked their stars and pitied those on that row.

“you”, Tiffany screamed,

“what, I ain’t the one who told you not to dodge, your bodyguards can’t follow you everywhere you know”, Xio said nonchalantly as she went to pick the apple,

after picking it she went to her locker of the girl that is always bullied by her (Tiffany) and after forcing the girl to open it, she took her bottle, opened it and started to wash the apple, the class gasped in horror as were she was washing the apple was on top of Tiffany’s head.

“you bitch!!!”, she screamed,

“ya (Hey) lower your voice”, Xio said as she opened her bottle and began to wash again,

“how dare you disgusting thing pour that filthy water on me!!”, she screamed,
