The Rare Ones

*5*

Quick announcement!!!!

I'm changing Majid's middle name from Khalil to Hammed.

I'll post his new aesthetic once it's ready.

Kk, into the chapter now😋.

BTW, I only just realised that 'Khalid' sang in the song for this chapter.

my mind of stone."

Khalid

I squinted at the board while trying to focus on what the teacher was saying.

S C I M O N O C E

Groaning slightly, I closed my eyes and opened them, trying again.

E C O N O M I C S

I heaved a sigh of relief.

My best friend, Veronica, nudged me.

"Use your recordings,Khalid," she said.

"I could read the subject after two tries," I said, proudly.

She smiled, braces showing and her chartreuse green eyes shining.

"Just two? That's awesome!"

The fact that I have dyslexia makes things like being able to read what's on the board a huge achievement.

To make things easier for me, my older brother makes recordings from his old notes for me to listen to.

I try and study the notes themselves, reading and re-reading till the words didn't jumble up in my head.

I also have a tutor, and Veronica helps any way she can.

The teacher walked out as the period ended and Break began.

I stood up.

"Where are you going?" Veronica asked.

"To meet my brother, he took his old Literature note and I want to use it," I said.

"Say hi to your fan club for me."

"Fan club?"

She raised an eyebrow at me.

"Yes, naw!" she said, pronouncing the slang well despite her slight accent.

Veronica might be bi-racial, but she's a full fledged Naija girl.

"All those SS3 girls that are dying for you. 'Oh, Majid's brother is soooo cute! Oh, what's his name? Oh my gosh, Khaliiiid! Cutie pie, sweetie!"

She imitated the girls, using a nasally, high-pitched voice and hand gestures.

"Okay, okay, I get it!" I said, stopping her before she could continue.
