Chapter 5

When I went to school the next day Mary hugged me so tight."So how do you feel now?"She asked. "Much better,gave you seen Christopher?"I asked. Mary stared at me and her lips curved into a smile."Wait for him he hasn't arrived and meet me at the cafeteria later we must celebrate your recovery all bills on me"She said happily. I waited for Christopher.

 Christopher walked in looking stressed. I had intentionally sat on his chair in an improper way. I wanted to start a stupid conversation. He told me to come down and when I refused he just sat down on my chair and even stood on my chair I got upset and told him to come down and he refused I pulled him but he didn't. I began to shake the chair and when he lost balance he pulled me along and fell on me the whole class stared at us I grasped hitting him and with a choking voice I said"Get off me now",he stood up and I felt embarrassed but this guy was stubborn and went back to stand on my chair."Now Chris would you get down from that chair?"I asked out of frustration. "Be more polite"he said. I just went to sit on his chair he began to jump on my chair."Fine Christopher please",I begged. "That doesn't sound polite"He said. I sighed and said. "Christopher I am sorry would you please get down". "Add more energy after all you started it"He said. I begged for a long time. He then came down. He went to his chair and began to scroll through his phone and my phone made a beep sound and I checked it was Christopher who messaged me I then stared at him but he continued typing asking why I didn't come to school. I told him I had fever and it was Mary who bought me medicine.

 He told me that he wanted us to know each other better I sent laughing emojis and typed that we already knew each other then I wrote this👇⬇️

He then wrote 'I think you still have fever besides could I get your address'He asked. 'No why do you need it?', I asked.'For security purposes'he wrote.'I am already safe'I wrote back.

 Our subject teacher came in "I assume all phones are switched off"He asked. A thunderous 'yes' went around the whole class resounding in the teachers ears and echoed from the class wall. The teacher used her phone to check the time. I quickly put off my phone and listened to the teacher devoting half of my mind to my imagination. I drove trains of thoughts through my imagination now no more paying the teacher no more attention. I absent mindedly stared at Ms. Rose she thought I was listening to every word she said. "Juliana, Juliana !!stand up how long does it take the earth to rotate around the sun"Ms. Rose asked. I kept quiet looking at her right in the eye not because I didn't know it but I usually mixed it up I didn't want to get mocked. The kind teacher stared at me wickedly. "Come and stand in front of the class and and answer my question"I boldly walked to the front of the class boldly '24 hours' I heard a whisper from behind slightly. Ms. Rose pulled my ears. I pushed her hands away 'Ma, my ears hurts' I lied. "For the last time how long does it take the earth to rotate around the sun"She asked. "24 hours"I said bluntly. She told me to go back to my seat keeping her eyes on me.

Later Chris mocked me for not able to answer a simple question we had been taught a lot of times."I did answer the question"I said grumpily."If I didn't whisper the answer to you Ms. Rose would have made roasted meat from you if you can't answer such a simple question God knows if you could spell your name properly"he said with a little chuckle I made an attempt to hit him he dodged it and twisted my arm I screamed and he let go.
