I went to school and Antonio showed me around the school.
It was a really big and nice school it had a gym, chemistry, biology and physics laboratories, music class, computer room, basketball court, football court,
Tennis, and other fun things. The classroom were filled with well equipped Air conditioner, fans, chairs and desks and also projectors.My stepmother must have thought that she was doing something bad for me but she was helping me.
"This is the cafeteria, it's where we eat lunch" Antonio said.
"It's really nice and big and the colors are unique"
"Yes it is, we will continue with the remaining surveys later but we have to attend class now"
"Sure"
He led the way to the class and as we entered the class a student rushed to him.
"Where have you been prince and who's the girl? Why did the boy call him prince maybe they classified him as a prince because he was so handsome and cute.
"This is Tana she fainted in the hall so i took her to my mum hospital. Tana this is my best friend Michael" he said introducing us to each other.
"Nice to meet you Michael"i said.
"Nice to meet you too"
Then a teacher came in saying "Good Morning Students"
"Good Morning Ma" We all took sits.
"Well since we have new students in the class, I will introduce myself to you all. My name is Mrs.Jefferson and i am your class teacher. I will like to know all of you well so I will like you to come one by one and introduce yourself. Lets start with you over there" The teacher spoke.
Then she called a girl with an oval shaped face, long and bright hair, tall and pretty.
By this time my whole body was feeling like melting and breaking down because I was the timid person. Just then the girl was done with talking about herself as she beamed with smiles.
"Wow that's really nice Maddie, now let me call on..... you over there in the back with a black hair rolled in doughnut shape and with a white t-shirt".
I noticed the teacher was describing me so I pretended not to hear her. Then she walked towards me and said "Young lady I am talking to you please stand up and say a little about yourself"
By this time everyone started staring at me, i could hear my heart beat go faster than usual, I felt so embrassed so i faced my head down and then the teacher said with a stern voice: "Young lady you have a minute to stand up and go in front of the class and say a little about yourself or you get detention" She was so strict, I already don't like her
I felt like fainting but i also didn't want detention so i summoned courage and stood up as I walked to the front of the class everyone laughed at me. As i stood in front of the class i felt like i was embrasssing myself, But all that stopped when Antonio stood up for me.
"Everyone stop that, we might make her hate us or even the school, If it was any of us in this position we might even be worst than her she has courage to stand up in front of class and that deserves a standing ovation".
People still kept on laughing, making me feel stupid.
I couldn't still hold the embrassment so i started crying and then i ran away to nowhere.As i was running i could a voice calling me Tana!!!! Tana!!!!, as i looked back i saw Antonio, i immediately wipped up my tears.
"Sorry about that" he spoke.
"You are not a friend you are just a traitor everyone was laughing at me and all you could was to join them to make fun of me" i said.
"Look I'm really sorry for my classmates attitude. I didn't laugh only smiled because you looked cute as you were shy. But I still stood up for you cause you didn't deserve their mockery"
"I will never come back to this school, I hate this school" i said as the tears came.
Just as i turned and was about to walk away, Antonio grabbed my hand and pulled me close to him and held my waist with his right arm.
We started at each other eyes for like half a minute and then he pulled me more closer to him and closed the gap with a kiss.
It was slow, passionate, lovely and tasted sweet I took my hands to his hair as I touched slowly, while his hand went to my head pushing it closer to him. I removed my lips from his and stared at him with a *What was that for* look
"I'm really sorry i didn't mean to......"
"No is my fault........, i should go now" i stammered, My first kiss!!that was extremely unexpected.
"Wait, I'm really sorry for what happened to you in class but do you mind if I ask you something"
"What's that?"
"Why did you run out of the class, did you fell embrassed? I think you were having a panic attack are you okay?"he asked.
"I have stage fright, it's a normal thing for me, I have several panic attacks when am worried or scared but am alright"
"Sorry, You dont need to be afraid i'm going to help" he said.
"How will you help me?"
"Don't worry you"ll see" he said as he grabbed my hand and took me back to class.
"Everyone this is Tana, And as the oldest in this class i don't want anyone to laugh at her, she has stage fright and most of us had it when we were little so we shouldn't make fun of her or anyone" He turned to look at me.
"Tell everyone about yourself"
I nodded slightly as I sighed "Goo..Go..."
I couldn't get the words and then Immediately Antonio held my hand really tight and i was bold a little bit.
"Good morning Everyone, my name is Tana" I told everyone a little about myself then I walked back with Antonio to my sit.
***
After a while class was over and then it was lunch. I didn't know anywhere so I just sat back in my chair and rested my head on the table.I heard the sound of a chair move closer to me, so i raised my head and i saw it was Antonio.
Immediately I saw him memories of the kiss flewed back, he was really a good kisser I can admit. Then I blushed a little.
"Why aren't you eating Lunch, you know it's break"
"Yes i do, but I don't feel like eating, what about you?"
"Well i couldn't go without you" he said obviously teasing me.
"Seriously?😏" I asked my eyes widened with surprise.
"Yes, hotty Do you want to be my partner to lunch" '
'Hotty?'I repeated the word in my head I liked the sound of it.
"What do you mean by hotty?"
"It means you are really hot and attractive" he said with a wink.
"Thank you" I said with a smile but tried to hide it. "Lets go for lunch then"
We both went for lunch which got attention of lots of people and after that we went for other classes.
