Lyn POV
I immediately remove my note book ready for the first listen of my last year in highschool before I probably head to college far away from all those that make my life a living hell.
Class is my favorite spot in the whole of the school with my favorite teacher ,Mr Simpson.
“ I welcome you all from your holiday break" he asks us in his ever jolly voice.
Different students begin to give the encounter of how they spent their holidays. Some saying how they spent it with their boyfriends and girlfriends. Some saying they spent it with her parents and siblings and do on..I look on not knowing what to say. Mine was the usual one. Actually my mother had planned to take me off for a trip but her work would not let her do it
You know she is Doctor and anytime emergency would call. She would not fail to go since we need the money and she is the only one that I have. So I don't blame anything that she does. It is always for the good of the two of us.
“Miss Wills ..." I hear my name removing me from my bunch of thoughts . I stare up in open air totally confused and not knowing what the hell the teacher was talking about for sure.
Almost all my classmates face in my direction all amused by my sudden confused facial expression. I look in not knowing what exactly to do or say. I a m too shy and I always hate when I am the centre of attention to so many people during any gathering.
“ Miss Wills, it is your turn to narrate for us about how you spent your Holiday " Mr Simpson repeats when he finds out that I have not understood what he said to me.
“ Oh! I say all panicking bit stand up for sure making my self act like a complete i***t. Why did Jean have to study chemistry and not Literature. She would be Right at my safe squeezing my hand so as to comfort me for what I am about to do.
“ Mine was ...I mean I just stayed home reading all kinds of novels as just like the usual days -" Before I am able to finish , the door of the classroom slams open revealing Nolan and Jed. Damn it ! Where were they. Did they have to come at the exact moment when am trying so give a encounter of how I spent my last holiday.
Mr Simpson turns his attention away from me to the two boys who have just entered the class.
“ Why do you have to always get to my class so late when almost everyone else is already here?" Mr Simpson questions them but still remaining as calm as he can be each day . He is such a composed person which makes me admire him so much and I consider him my favorite teacher.
“'we had More important stuff to do ." Nolan answer's . Oh my God! Does this boy have any piece of brain left in him. Is that a way to speak to your teacher.
“ We are so sorry , Mr Simpson. We had so kind of work that we were completing in the principal's office. ," Jed Answers. I wonder how the two ended up being friends . I mean they are completely different . I mean Jed's character is completely different from that of Nolan who things this whole life depends on it.
“ Okay , you can take your seats. " Mr Simpson says to them.
“ Okay , let us now turn to what we are supposed to study. We don't have any time to waste. Since this year is last in Your High school, we are going to be abit busy in preparations for College." He says.
Mr Simpson introduces Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice to us. After that he tells us to move groups of three to make discussions and present our written work next Monday.
“ I am not letting any one to form their own groups . I am going to form groups for you which am sure will be very useful for you. " He says .
Every one looks eagerly waiting for their groups. Mr Simpson begins to serve the grouos. I wait eagerly until when he gets to my group.
“ Lyn Wills, Jed Richards and..."
He keeps quiet for some time. I wait . Any way so far so good Jed is an agreeable person that some one can work with not getting worried unless his friend -
“ And Nolan Johnson" he says. I almost faint when I hear that. What happened. . Why did have to add him to my group. I look round only to be met with numerous jealous eyes from different girls . If looks would kill , I am sure I would not last long. This life is such a complicated thing, just imagine many of them are wishing they were put in the same group with him and yet and here wishing I didn't have nothing to do with that heartless human being of a boy.
“ Make sure none of you makes a change of grouo or else you risk losing a lot of marks" Mr Simpson emphasizes to us
***
I am physically present the rest of the remaining time of the lesson and yet mentally absent. My mind has now shifted to what the discussion with Nolan will be like. For sure why does my life have to be complicated all the time. For sure I don't even realize when Mr Simpson leaves the class.
However I realize it when the students begin to get up some going out.
“ Hello, group member " I suddenly hear his voice behind me starling me a little. I don't turn back since I already know who is There. When sees that I have not reacted to any of his words, he turns around and comes next to where I am taking the empty seat that is next to mine
I pretend to be reading from my book but I can feel his eyes on me and indeed when I look up he is staring at me with a smile on his face.Damn it ! I just feel so uncomfortable with him staring at me that . Even with all that he does to me ,I still can see how good looking he is .
However even though he is good looking, his bad habits still remain evident . What worries me more is the fact that we are supposed to have this discussion outside school. It means the discussion is supposed to be at the home of one of us. What the hell! Just when I think that things are getting a bit better, it turns out that that is actually not the case.
For sure this year is going to be more tough than what I initially thought it would be. I should therefore be prepared for what is coming my way any time.
