(I published this Christmas Eve in my time zone but y'all may read this at different times)

Happy reading!❤️

As soon as class was over for the time being, as they had another one later on today, Darius wanted to talk to Savannah alone about something. She had apparently been getting on his nerves since the start of the class so he had to correct her about it.

Darius had only gotten on Savannah's nerves once but Savannah had gotten on his quite a number of times.

Most of it was for minor things that she had gotten told off for in class, however there was one that needed an entire private discussion about it.

Reminisce had suggested waiting for her outside but Savannah didn't want her to do so because she wasn't sure how long this conversation was going to take.

Thankfully they had a one hour break after this class because if they had a class straight after this one then Savannah would have been late.

She didn't want to be late on her first day at all. That had said a lot about her character, even if it wasn't exactly her fault.

As soon as Reminisce had left, with Savannah and Darius kind of watching her, Darius had firmly told her to close the door.

After she had done that, Savannah had sighed to herself. She just wanted this conversation to be over with, whatever it was about in the first place.

"Why have you called me here?"

"What was with the way you spoke to me when I asked you to read that paragraph on how your summer holiday was?" He had demanded, folding his arms. "Don't deny it. You and I both know that you were rude to me."

Of course it was about that.

She should have known that but she didn't, with Savannah now slowly reminiscing about what had happened in class back then.

"You can't do that, sir, I didn't put my hand up."

"I can do what the hell I want to do." He had muttered through gritted teeth.

Savannah wasn't having it though. She was great at sticking up for herself - just not always at the right time sadly.

"Then what was the flipping point of you asking for volunteers?!"

Everyone was looking at her, bewildered. It would have been worse if she swore. Savannah never did.

"Who do you think you're talking to with that tone!" He had screamed back at her. "Read in front of the class now otherwise I will send you to the headteacher's office. You don't want to be in trouble on your first day, do you?!"

Savannah was about to shout back - that was until Reminisce had called her name and she shook her head.

It's not worth it, sis. Just do it.

Taking a deep breath, she had read it out loud for everyone to hear. She did it very angrily because she didn't volunteer. At the same time, she tried to hide her emotions, which had sort of backfired.

Savannah wasn't even nice to him. She was rude back then because he had volunteered for her to read out her paragraph even though she didn't want to do so.
