Before I met You

Chapter three

Its been three weeks since Elaine joined the academy and she's coped up. Its not as bad as she thought it would be. She's made quite a number of friends. It has also helped her to forget her situation so all is well. Well actually everything except the Nathan guy who keeps on glaring at Elaine like she stole something from him. You know that look a person gives you that says I'll crush you into bones then grind ur remains and cremate them. That's the look she gets from Nathan. She still doesn't know why she gets it though. She decided to stay as far away from him as possible so that she doesn't risk being crushed. Right now it's the end of class and Elaine is heading to her room when the speakers turn on " Elaine  Stones please report to the director's office" the speaker went. Elaine internally groaned. She really wanted to have this time to herself. She turned backwards and headed for the director's office. When she reached, she knocked." Come in " a voice sounded from inside. She was met with Ms. Cavendish but that's not what startled her. It was Nathan who was seated across Ms. Cavendish that made her stand frozen in one spot. He hadn't looked up to see who had come in . He seemed to be typing something on his phone. Regardless Elaine started imagining all the possible things he could do to her just by being three feet a part. " You can have a seat Ms. Stones" Ms Cavendish said. Nathan lifted his gaze from his phone and looked at her. Elaine swallowed a lump in a throat and took careful steps to her seat as if her normal walking style will trigger him into harming her. She took a seat just opposite Nathan he's gaze never leaving her. She felt like he could see through her and all that she's hiding. To reduce on her attention she decided to do everything that will make her get out of that office as soon as possible. " So Ms. Cavendish Can I know why am here?" Elaine asked " Alright let's get this meeting started" Ms Cavendish said. Meeting??! Elaine felt like sinking into her chair. As far as she knew meetings take a long time if they are short then the decision is always bad because there is no discussion. But why in the world would she be in a  meeting with Nathan Walkers. ' Oh swallow me' Elaine thought. Nathan on the other hand noticed Elaine's discomfort in her chair. He lifted his eyebrow inquiries if she's okay. " Umm you okay" he asked. Elaine quickly sat up straight and mouthed no to him. " So its been observed that Mr. Walkers is not that social with the people around here yet socialisation is one of our major objectives as the academy" Ms Cavendish paused and inhaled. " Its also been observed that you, Ms. Stones is very social with pro around here and you have spent the least time here. So , we the administrators thought that it would be best if you teach Mr. Walkers how to socialize." WHAT? " Elaine and Nathan said at once. " No way" Nathan sighed " umm isn't there someone else's i mean... " Elaine was cut off by Ms. Cavendish." Nope, decision is final and this project earns you both extra points so meeting adjourned" Ms Cavendish sent the two of them out of her office. Elaine felt like screaming. See that was the problem with short meetings. You never like the outcome. Outside the office, Elaine held her face totally not knowing what to do. When she finally decided to look at her 'client'. He was leaning on a wall and looking at her. Not glaring but looking at her with an inquisitive look like he was looking for someone from her. Even though she was supposed to be relieved that he ain't glaring, Elaine wasn't. She felt like now he could see through her so to distract herself she opened her mouth to speak but he spoke first. " Look we both hate this so how about you one don't tell anyone about this and let no one see me with you" " So when am i going to teach you if i can't be seen with you" she asked " you'll have to find away" he said then walked away. " Wait what if...." she called out but it was pointless he had gone. Wow so from glaring freak to annoying geek. Oh Elaine felt like kicking him . Damnit Ms.Cavendish,you have ruined my whole life. Elaine said under her breath
