- ...A new light."Follow me!" He groaned out. Surprised Flora, intimidated by his scary but cute face. How could God's creature look so mean but angelic get at the same time.
"Does your illiteracy affect your hearing, don't make repeat myself once again" he warned.
She cleaned her mouth and stoop up with her head downwards.
"Next time I am talking to you, you should look at me straight in the eye, only you have permission to do that"'Hah!'
'Woah, lucky her' could be hears from students. She raised her fad and starred right at his Hazel eyes as he red long hair covered her face. She was scared to raise her hand and adjust it.
Khalid on the other hand, his hands itched to tuck her hair strands behind her ear so that he could see those dark eyes of hers.
'Can she get more beautiful?' He often thought.
He took her to the library and they sat down at the farthest end of the library. Flora concentrated on following him, ready to jump in fright if he shouted at her. Khalid couldn't steady himself as his body as tensed in the things he could do to her even in the library.
'Ugh! Dirty mind I've got' he lazily thought.
"Take!" He handed her a big thick note able to contain Notes from a meeting by a secretary.
"I'll be tutoring you on how to be able to speak correctly and spell correctly". She nodded slowly as a hint of happiness surged through her fave like waves but she was quick to hide it, but Khalid didn't miss it.
" is that understood?" He asked. She nodded pouting her lips and slightly using her right hand to remove the hair blocking her eyes.
'Can't she stop being cute?'
"Next time I question you, you reply with your mouth, not your head. You ain't a red headed lizard, do you hear me?" He asked yet again.
Flora didn't let the insult get through her. She was already grateful to God and him for having another person in the school or outside her family and Vetra talk to her and even offer to teach her. Luck sure smiled at her.
"Yes sir" she meekly said, flapping her lashes out of nervousness. Little did she know her little acts of nervousness will surely bring out his demons. Khalid gritted his teeth as his body keeps getting tensed at just her little gestures.
"Don't call me sir nor senior, Am Khalid for you, only for you" he said, this time sending weird feelings of possession to Flora, who thought Khalid was making her in charge of him .
"Yes Khalid" she said looking downwards.
"Don't let it get into your head, you're not special, not like there's anything in you" he said looking at her with disgust, meanwhile his brain was already fantasizing engulfing such a sweet, cute redhead in a bone crushing hug.
Flora hung her head low as tears stung her eyes. That's a bitter truth she always absorbed in her mind. She was pained as she recalled his words, "...you're not special, not like there's anything in you" she will never forget these cruel words.
"What did I say about your facial position while talking to me?" He barked.
"Sorry sir...senior...am really sorry Khalid" she raised her face starring right into his eyes with tears streaming down her face. Khalid felt a Shari pain at his left side in his chest as her tears stabbed him.
He's such a cruel meanie.
"Get lost, tomorrow we will continue with the lessons. 10:00am here same place. Come on time, I repeat come on time. Now smell out!" He snarled.
"Huh...! What does you meant?" She really didn't understand what he meant by 'smell out'. she wanted to get lost, meaning go away, away from him until he said 'smell out' so she crooked out with her bad English as always.
"Oh! I forgot your dumb..." He let a forced chuckle due to the frustrations of how he was the main course of her tears.
"Get out!"
* * * * * *
After school, Ariel rushes into her sister's class and as usual got bullied and shouted at. Flora starred as usual too, not doing anything. Still her thoughts, she still couldn't place how someone could be mean and still be kind. She never knew two species could be in one. It's either your good or bad. She always believed.
"Sister, let's go". Ariel choked on her tears and helped her sister pack her books into her torn and worn out back. Ariel already used to her sister's snubs didn't complain nor get angry. She vowed to help her sister and see her bag if she borrows thread from Nicole's friend Chloe, who lives in their neighbourhood at the slum.
As Flora, who was done packing stood up and held out a hand to hold her sister, who always comforted herself with her sister's gesture everyday after school, she would never miss it for anything in the world to call her sister after school.
"Don't forget what I told you, red head" his voice blared out. Flora turned and nodded. Seeing the fierce face. She straightened her face and looked at him, eye ball to eye ball biting her lower lips and battling her lashes looking like seduction to him, "yes Khalid" she didn't forget, he smiled.
'Red head' Flora thought. It was netter then the monkey she was usually called in school and the red headed lizard he had earlier called her at the library.

"Where is Flora?" Mrs Aurora asked little Ariel who sat on a small stone while she cooked. She had just small beans gifted to her by Chloe's mum who peas poor like them. She cooked with a spoonful red oil and some seasonings she the remained last night while preparing dinner.
"She's in her room as usual" Ariel drawled out to her mum's hearing.
"How was school today?" Mrs Aurora asked. She meant Flora's day and Ariel knew.
"Normal, they bullied me as usual when I came to call her." She said and her eyes lit up as she remembered something.
"A cute guy talked to her after school and I saw him take her to her to the library. Rumour had it that he had offered to teach her but was still mean to her. I also heard her said she was the only person to look straight at his eyes and also call him by his name, his from a very wealthy family."
"Hmm!" Mrs Aurora sighed. Luck finally shinned on her daughter and she didn't want to pry further. So just closed it with simple questions.
"Really?"
"Yes mum"
"Thank God!" She said with all sincerity.
"Go and call your siblings and tell Nicole to set the dining, your dad will soon be back.
♦Flora tossed on her bed, this time crying tears of joy and pain. She didn't know which one to succumb to. She was crying joyfully that another person talks to her and is also willingly to teach her. But what pains her is the insults she had to bear. She has to talk to her friend, her diary.
