Ch18- New classmate

(On one particular fine day in class 5A, Lysette rushed to Alora with some juicy gossip.)

Lysette: Have you heard that they're letting someone else join our class?

Alora: But why in the middle of the semester?

Lysette: Heard because he's super strong or something!

Alora: Are you kidding me? Maybe his class got switched because it was a mistake?

Lysette: Come on! I heard that he is handsome! Also there's one more transfer student in our class ...

Alora: Spit it out, got a crush on him or something?

Lysette: Maybe, he's super handsome..

Alora: I am supporting you!! My ship has to sail!

Lysette: Alora! You're making me embarassed.

Alora: Am I? Well, if you be that shy, no guy's ever gonna notice you.

Lysette: Alora!

Alora: Alright, I'll stop so let's go!

(They took their seats in their class, the teacher entered with their new classmate by her side..)

Tarcie(the teacher): Well, I think all of you have heard about a new classmate who'll be joining you all, welcome, Caius. Caius, please introduce yourself.

Caius: Hello everyone, I am Caius Renard and I hope we'll be good friends.

(Gossip started like wildfire! This guy was so strong, handsome and so dreamy...Alora looked at Caius..Wait! Why's he here? He isn't supposed to be here...Caius looked at Alora's eyes directly, those old memories return to Alora's mind..but so many things have happened already and Caius wouldn't even recognise her now and Caius looked away just as Alora thought...things have changed..we aren't friends anymore, we are strangers now. But the thing is, at evening, Alora was called to the principal's office, you see she wasn't worried about it at all as she thought she'll be going to collect some award as usual but events do turn.)

Claudette: You might be wondering why I called you here?

Alora: No sweat, might be some award or a task, right?

Claudette: No, you see, this time, it's different.

Alora: What do you mean?

Claudette: Actually I've heard that my adopted son's your classmate, right?

Alora: You mean Caius?

Claudette: As expected, you know him.

Alora: Of course, he's my classmate who recently joined our class.

Claudette: I need a favour.

Alora: I'll do anything within my abilities to do that!

Claudette: I need you to tutor him.

Alora: What!?

(There was no way Alora saw that coming.)

Claudette: Yeah, he's actually very awful in both behaviour and history.

Alora: Okay, sure, I'll tutor him.

Claudette: Everyday please, starting from tomorrow.

Alora: Sure if that's what you want.

(Alora made her way to her dorm in a gloomy mood.)

Lysette: Someone looks like they're thunderstorm, what happened?

Alora: And someone looks like they're rainfall cause their crush was absent.

Lysette: Come on, we don't talk about that!

Alora: Today's been such a long day.

Lysette: Tell me about it.

(Alora narrated the whole situation in a simple manner and Lysette was in disbelief.)

Lysette: Is she setting you both up?

Alora: What nonsense are you talking about?

Lysette: Think about it!

Alora: But I heard that he's really bad in history plus she wouldn't lie to me.

Lysette: But why not just find him a history tutor?

Alora: Saving money of course.

Lysette: Cheapstake, anyway, don't you find him attractive?

Alora: No way, dude, I have to focus on my studies!

Lysette: Love isn't a distraction!

Alora: Never said it was, but it's stupid and I don't want it.

Lysette: Whatever you say and now, I've got a new ship to sail!

Alora: Lysette, I said no!

Lysette: What'd I do?

(It ends in giggles...)
