Rebirth Of An Abused Girl

Chapter 8 : Deal With Politeness

Later in the class, Rosalyn went to talk with Mrs. Walker, her mathematics teacher. Her teacher told her, "You can come anytime you want if you face any issues regarding your study, Ms.Evans. I will do everything to help you in mathematics and also solving college entrance examination papers if you want to learn things in advance. It will take time for you to get your study books from the library, but I have written some reference mathematics books' names on that paper. You can get those from the library. And try not to miss classes from now onward." Mrs. Walker handed Rosalyn a paper and smiled kindly at her. She decided she should help Rosalyn instead of pushing her away as she was a bully and a troublemaker.

Rosalyn smiled and thankfully said, "Thank you so much, ma'am. I promise I am going to attend every class tomorrow." Her teacher nodded and asked, "Did you have decided what you are going to take except Mathematics?" Nodding, Felicity thought for a moment. She knew it would be better for her if she learns computer science. She doesn't know much about technology, but she could defiantly learn from her computer teacher and classmates who are very devoted to developing websites and android applications, and so on. There has a lot to learn in computer science. She thought. If Felicity behaves like Rosalyn, she will get nothing in the end. Felicity could not be herself as that would make everyone suspicious of her.

Rosalyn said, "Yes, I am taking Chemistry and Physics beside mathematics." Mrs. Walker said, "Are you taking Biology as an additional subject." Shaking her head in denial, Rosalyn said, "I think I am going for Computer Science. It will be difficult for me to keep on with Bioscience. Besides, I don't think I am going to take biology for my higher studies." Mrs. Walker thought for a moment while her gaze fixed on Rosalyn all the time. She found a determination in Rosalyn's eyes which is quite rare to be seen. Nodding, she encouraged her, saying, "Nice choice, Ms. Evans. Your Computer Science Laboratory teacher is strict, but he can be patient when it comes to the students who want to learn his subject in depth." Rosalyn nodded. Felicity tried to remember if Rosalyn had troubled their computer teacher in the past or not. Unfortunately, she did. Felicity groaned internally. She has to deal with her teacher again. Well, he is a strict teacher.

In the next class, Rosalyn went to attend Computer science after one hour. Within one hour, she went to their director's room and submitted her form after filling up her subjects. Director smiled and said that she could come to him anytime if she needed help with her studies and also about choosing colleges as per her subject interests. Even though the director has a feeling she is going to attend business school after two years as she is the only heir of Evans Multinational Industries, he still wanted to know Rosalyn's interest as there has a high chance she is going to change her paths as she does whatever she likes. Her parents could never stop her from doing anything. The director internally thought, such a troubled child.

Rosalyn went to the library and roam around to find books that were referred by her teachers after talking with her Chemistry and Physics teachers. After fetching and issues four books, she packed her bag and left the library to attend her next class, computer science. As she entered that class, she noticed most of the students in that class were boys. There was hardly fifteen girls among seventy students. Luckily not every one of them looked scared to see her in that class. She internally sighed in relief, but her face showed nothing. She went to take a seat in the front row and her eyes fell on the boy who sat beside her in the previous class. He looked at Rosalyn and then tore his gaze away from her. She did not expect him to say anything anyway. She sat beside him, and took out a copy from her bag, and kept it on her desk.

Soon their teacher, Mr. West, entered and the whole class turned silent. As he kept his laptop and books on the table, he said to his class, "Good afternoon, class. I hope our journey with computer technology goes well in the next two years. Are you excited to lose yourself in modern technologies and codes, students?" The whole class screamed out, "Yes, sir," Nodding, he said, "Good to know that. So, let's begin with our today's lecture- oh, look whom we have got in our class." Mr. West said as his eyes landed on Rosalyn. Felicity gulped internally while thinking about how her teacher went to react when he was giving a sharp look toward Rosalyn. Felicity followed Rosalyn's gesture and stayed unfazed.

Mr. West's became frustrated to see Rosalyn in his class. He heard Rosalyn was going to join their school that day. But never did he ever imagined Rosalyn would attend his class on that day. Rosalyn troubled him a lot in the past three years. Mr. West was a strict teacher. He Caught Rosalyn playing on her phone instead of concentrating on his lectures. When he scolded her, she smirked at him, saying, "You will regret scolding me, sir. I have no interest to attend this class, anyway, as your teaching style is too boring. I prefer to play on my android phone, rather than listen to your boring lectures." Listening to Rosalyn's words, her friends began to laugh at Mr. West and left his classroom without taking his permission.

Remembering past events, Mr. West became furious at Rosalyn after seeing her in his class. Keeping his clam, he mocked Rosalyn, saying, "Ms. Evans, we did not know you have an interest in technology other than doing shopping and playing games on your gadgets. So, what brings you here to my Computer Science lab? Let me remind you, I don't give lessons to my students about how to play a game in my laboratory. This is not a playground." He became pleased when his class began to laugh at Rosalyn and talk at her back. Rosalyn didn't show an ashamed expression to Mr. West which killed his mocking smile brutally. Felicity knew she has to be herself. She used her calmness and Rosalyn's intelligence. 

Standing up from her seat, she smiled politely at her computer teacher and said, "Good afternoon, sir. Well, the computer science laboratory is defiantly a playground. Indeed, you don't teach your students how to play a game, but you definitely help them to fix their codes so that could easily run their gaming application on desktop and android devices. Is not that true, sir? And about me doing shopping on my gadgets, everybody does that to save their time from going and roaming around shopping malls. Now, don't make me talk about playing games on our devices, as you know very well boys are more obsessed with playing games, like FIFA, COC, and whatnot. And on google application store, there have a lot of learning applications other than gaming and shopping applications, is not it, sir?" 

Mr. West was shocked after hearing her. The whole class was dumbfounded. None of them thought she would bring things in a specific way that their views on Rosalyn would change drastically. Half of them expected either she would humiliate their lecturer, or just leave their classroom. They never saw Rosalyn's smile and politeness before except smirk and arrogance. They heard Rosalyn said, "I don't have much knowledge of technology, but I am interested to learn about it. I hope you don't mind me taking this subject as my optional subject, sir." She smiled at Mr. West who did not know how to react. But he is determined to test Rosalyn in every possible way in the next two years. If she decided to change, then we all should cooperate with her. Thinking that Mr. West nodded stiffly and said, "You can take your seat, Ms. Evans."  Smiling, Rosalyn said, "Thank you, sir." She sat down. As she turned toward the boy who sat beside her, she found that was giving her a strange look. Then he tore his gaze away from her.
