High school Fever:Wallflower

Chapter 5

I turned to my side to look at Oliver who was staring at a stock photo a male fashionista online.
  " That's a very nice jacket" I leaned in to say. He snapped his head at me in surprise. He didn't expect me to get so close.
  " Sorry" I giggled and he sighed keeping his phone under the locker.
  " Yea" He replied and shrugged. Somehow I felt he wasn't really into the jacket. He wasn't staring at the jacket. I guess he was doing something else.

Soon a teacher came in and she introduced herself as Miss Mercy. The math teacher. She was a brunette just like me and she had that auntie vibes all over as she pleaded with some perambulating students to settle down.  After they all settled down, she walked into her seat to keep her lesson notes before shooting her head up and her brown eyes met mine. I squeezed into my chair.
" Hi... haven't seen you before. Must be a new student" she said walking up to where I was grinning. I smiled back nervously thinking that was all but then she started.
  " Would you like to introduce yourself to the class or -"
  " No" I blurted before realizing I sounded rude. I didn't even let her finish her sentence.
"I'm sorry" I said quietly.
" awnn.. no need to apologize honey. It's okay if you don't want to. You can sit down" She said and I did.
Later,we were given an exercise which I failed woefully.
Told you I was a dullard in math😒
 
" I would like to see you in my office today Miss Sheeran" Miss Mercy said as she handed my papers back to me.
My face was burning scarlet with embarrassment as I took it from her.  I just hope she didn't think I was a dumb ass cuz I wasn't. I only loath math.  I joined Oliver as we left the class together.
" Miss mercy's nice. She won't hurt you " He said.
"Hurt me??? Of course she won't. I just hate that I gave her the impression of me being a dumb ass" I spewed and he laughed softly then bit his lower lip thoughtfully ( a cute habit I'd come to observe he had)
" No one's born dull"
  " Yea, right. Supposedly cuz you're clever" I said folding my arms across my chest. I could bet I saw him blush! But he was quick to ward it off.
" I'm an average student Amberlie. Don't let the glasses deceive you" He said as he adjusted the glasses briefly.
"Oh.." I mused "well we could study together... I really have to be good in math" I said. He went quiet for what seem to last up to 15 seconds.
" Well, I know of a math God who could help you with that" He finally told me. My eyes lit.
" I'd like to meet her" I said and he huffed.
"It's a 'he' not a 'her' " He stated and I shrugged fairly.
" All the same. So tell me. Who is he?" I asked curiously.
" Bobby"
My eyes sulked in at the mention of that name.
That horrible jerk. No way!
Oliver began to laugh seeing the look on my face.
" Comeon... Look at your face!" He laughed " I was joking" He announced and I sighed in relief.
  Phew!
" Well he's in my class and his name's Louis. Louis Logan. I'm sure he'll be able to teach you. He won't say no to a pretty girl" Oliver said and I blushed. 
Sounds quite familiar but I'm not sure how.  
"He'll be in school tomorrow. He got suspended with the others" Oliver said.
Suspended hm?... He must be a bad guy. At the thought of a bad guy, Justin struck my mind.
" You know Justin Porter?" I asked.
Oliver paused. His eyes seem to narrow not in a frown but more like... suspicion??
  What was that look???
  He smirked and rolled his eyes.
" Yea, I know him. Why?" He threw.
" Oh, nothing. Justin's a childhood friend" I replied trying really hard to read his  chameleon expression. His face went totally blank and the only thing h did was lifting up his left full eyebrow.
Are they allies? I wondered.
" He also got suspended with the others. Don't worry you'll meet them tomorrow if they show up" Oliver said giving me a light squeeze on the shoulder.  I froze with his hands on me.
I wasn't expecting him to touch me ☺️
" I'll see you tomorrow Amberlie" He said releasing my shoulders and walked past me.
My brains kept rebooting.  I smiled coyly bitting the tips of my finger as I turned staring until he diverted into a corner.
I turned too and exited that area
