I don't understand who would do this? destiny asked with tears rushing down from her eyes, her eyes, those beautiful eyes were red now, and the only question I could think about was who would be sick enough to even think of doing something like this?.
Hey, it's gonna be okay, I said with her face in my palms, she was breathing heavily, like she had just ran a marathon, she buried her head on my chest,
I stared at the image laying on my bed infront of me, even I couldn't understand what it was, but I knew the content couldn't be trusted…
*******
I gazed out the window, classes has become a blur these past few days, even when I try to concentrate I'm dragged back into the never ending abyss of self hatred and unfulfilment,
I haven't been able to keep my grades up, I got a B minus on the last simulation test I took, I haven't been able to up my game ever since, this whole Kyle drama was really distracting m…
Destiny, earth to destiny, Mr Brent called, he was the Ap Biology teacher,
I quickly blinked all my thoughts away,
"Sorry" I was just so engrossed on how cellular respiration occurs it's quite fascinating. I lied.
Really?,well if it's quite fascinating you wouldn't mind to tell us a thing or two about it would you? He asked.
I felt air leave my lungs, "fuck" what was I going to do now?
Sure thing, I said as I maintained a smile standing up, what was I going to say?.
"I couldnt help but dwell on the fact that cellular respiration is very crucial for maintaining life, need I say
Cellular respiration is interconnected with other metabolic pathways , demonstrating it's essential role in energy balance and homeostasis. I said."
The class was silence, this usually happens when someone was called upon to speak, I could feel their eyes staring right at me, I stared straight ahead.
Mr Brent looked at me for awhile, I knew he could see my heart beating as fast as a drum
Sit down , he ordered.
Phew, I breathe out a sigh of relief.. that was scary I thought.
Mr Brent hated distractions he could sense if a student was following or not by merely just glancing their way,
he was nerdy but the sexy kind, you know like Henry cavil, when he first started here as a student teacher half the girls dropped other classes just to take his, Stupid if you'd ask me, he had a little British accent, which I personally think he totally fakes but it makes the girls go Gaga everytime he opens his mouth so what do I know?.
He gets apples, I mean it's the 21st century who still gives their favorite teacher an apple?. I wasn't thinking about him sexually or anything like that I just think he's not bad to look at besides I never understood the concept of crushing on your teacher especially the one whom's ridiculously hard on you for no reason.
We often have little talks after class you know grade checks, spontaneous questions, but that was about it, our relationship inside and outside of school was strictly educational, a relationship that I dread, I would hate to be asked a question in class and not know the answer that would taint my reputation, that's why I'm always prepared, atleast I try to be.
Okay class, that would be all for today, don't forget to read chapter 12 and write a little notes on it, by our next class everyone should have something to share, you're dismissed .
Everyone stood up to leave, I had already packed my bag and was easy to waltz out..
Destiny, I would like to see you, everyone can leave, you stay. He said.
My heart literally stopped beating.
Ouuuuuuuuu the class mumbled,
It took awhile for my legs to moved, what have I done this time? I was sure I said the right thing. I panicked
You asked to see me sir?, I asked standing besides him.
He glares at me,
Cute boots..
Well that was off putting , where did that come from? Was that why he called me here? I thought.
Thank you? I answered puzzled cause I genuinely was.
You seam a little distracted, what seem to be the problem ? you're not known to be one who wanders away in thoughts. He asked me.
I sighed louder than I should.
You see that tells me something is wrong you could tell me, if that's okay with you.
He added
I have just been really stressed out with work, school and everything, I think it's too much for my little head to handle, but who am I gonna talk to? I don't have any friends here, the only person who gets me is half way around the world, and the one I'm stuck with is the major Reason I even have half of these problems in the first place.
I was out of breath now, the words just came pouring out .
Hey, hey calm down, I get that it could be really hard sometimes, I mean I stood here teaching for over 25 minutes and you weren't following the entire time, but you still somehow manage to give me the correct answer to the question I asked so yeah, I think you'll be just fine. He asssured.
Was that pep talk?
I honestly didn't need that right now. He saw the expression on my face and motioned for me to come closer,
I moved an inch closer.
He frowned, I don't bite now do I ? Come closer.
I leaned closer to him and he whispered something in my ear.
my face turned red and I smiled, Thank you Mr Brent I said smiling from ear to ear.
You may go. He added
He just made my day with those little words.
I walked down the hallway, Kyle was probably waiting for me, I couldn't miss the ride home, I am gonna do exactly what he told me to do, it's gonna be fine.
