Searching for Love, Found Wealth

I thought I knew physics but no, I don’t. Math and English is very important for those sciences.

I’m supposed to be doing arts but then, at the dying minute, I grew love for Nursing. Sending me spiraling back to the sciences.

Physics, along with its buddy chemistry, was sure going to be my problem.

Charles went home after extra three hours of coaching, and mocking, me.

I had no idea how I slept off and found myself on my bed. Mum must have been working out.

It was Tuesday. Dreadful Tuesday as mom would call it. We had to start our classes with our mean English teacher. We just had to.

She dumped our assignment in front of us while Jennifer only carried her manuals. The teacher had a stern face so I could bet we were in for some yelling.

“Chris, who wrote down your assignment for you?” she looked straight into Chris’ eyes. We all turned behind to face Chris who was just fondling with his hair.

“Was it that bad? It was my sister, Blue. Why?” he patted his head down and gave the teacher a smug smile.

“But Blue is…” Jennifer trailed off as the teacher glared at her.

“How can you let your sister do your assignments for you? Older or younger sister?” she asked again.

“Baby sister, ma. Blue is just eight. What’s with you?” Jasper looked disgusted. Chris gave him a deadly stare and Jasper returned it.

The teacher threatened to submit Chris’ assignment to the principal but he gave no response and kept up with his deadly stare on Jasper.

I could tell they were not friendly. Jacob was playing with Jasper’s hands and if I understood twin’s telepathy well, which I did, Jacob was telling Jasper to calm down.

So who was this Blue?

Jennifer came round and shared the assignments back to us. The teacher left to fulfill her threat.

A chemistry happened as Jennifer gave Jacob his book.

I thought I just overthought it but Sheena nudged me to look at them confirming my eyes, for once, weren’t lying.

Jacob said something to her that made her blush and she then whispered something to him that made him smile.

So I was watching a rom-com.

She got to Jasper. He folded a piece of paper to her and said something. Only it didn’t make Jennifer laugh but annoyed. She rolled her eyes and went away from his table.

She cornered to Chris’ table even though she wasn’t with his book and kept Jasper’s folded paper on his desk.

“Be the loser you wanna be. Just don’t involve Blue” Chris read. I had lip-read that as Chris wasn’t audible.

Who just was this Blue to Jasper that’ll make him call Chris a loser for messing with her?

“It would be kinda weird if Jacob and Jennifer dates cos Jacob has a bad profile and it would totally destroy her plan of being Nicest Student” Sheena murmured.

She seemed so interested in her sister than her sister was on her.

“Who cares? Jennifer doesn’t deserve Nicest Student anyway. If anyone does, you do. You won’t even kill a cockroach that bites you” Chloe said dismissively.

“I would. Would eat it even. Some cultures eat cockroach you know” Sheena joked. Chloe made a vomiting gesture which made us laugh.

I was still monitoring Chris. I expected him to react to Jasper’s letter. I later saw the letter in shreds on the ground and realized that he must have ignored it.

Not what I expected. Guess a fight wasn’t coming today.

Cara came into the class at that point, along with two of her friends who had been sent to the other class. She marched to two small students sitting quietly by the wall.

“Pack your things and move to the next class. Immediately” she roared. The two small students quickly began packing their things.

I expected someone to say something but Reuben along with his cousins just bowed their head.

Jennifer walked up to her and I thought she’d give her a responding slap but she just slapped her book on her chest.

Nice but not enough.

Cara gave an evil smirk. She turned her neck to me and gave me a flirty or wicked, I don’t know kind of wink.

“I’m straight” I blurted before I knew it.

Sheena giggled and I bit my lips. I mean, if that was a flirtatious wink then I had to tell her I’m not into girls. If I was, never would I be into her.

She huffed and walked to her seat.

I felt bad as her two minions chicken walked to the seats of those small students. Can’t this be told to a teacher? Theses minions didn’t have their names on our class registry. Cara was just back to her nastiness.

The teacher walked in. She looked around the class.

“Where’s Nancy?” she enquired.

Nancy was one of the girls that had been chased away. Even as a teacher’s daughter, Cara still had the guts to mess with her.

No one said answered the teacher. I wanted to but can’t anyone else?

The teacher looked at the girl at Nancy’s seat carefully, she then looked over at Cara. She exhaled and began talking about the day’s topic.

What? Like she totally ignored the fact that Chloe was switching students like she owned the place?

And then it occurred to me? Could she have owned the place? Maybe her dad’s school or family heritage?

Like everyone gave her way. Even those who cloud put her at her place. Was there some higher power over her? Something had to be sparking her madness.

I turned to Sheena who had been my source of information about this school since I came.

But Sheena looked disturbed as she didn’t do well in her classwork. I decided not to distract her for the class.

Cara wasn’t even writing while the teacher spoke. She would walk out of the class and walk in anytime she liked. Slamming the door hard and reopening it anyhow.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

I didn’t know the English teacher had this much patience well mine was running out.
