Memories And Secrets

Chapter 2

I was 15 when my parents got divorced. Everyone found it weird that I was not that much affected by it. Actually I got used to my parents being always separated, I found it super bizarre if ever my parents got along or were hugging or others stuffs like that. I lived with both parents after the divorce as my father lived on the ground floor and my mum on the first one. Before the whole divorce process, they sort out that great idea of dividing the house into two as they could not tear us from one of them (i.e. my sister, my brother and I). It was like I still had my family all together but it some ways it was broken. Both my mum and dad had their own rooms, kitchen, bathroom, TV rooms, etc on their floors and as there are two staircases, they merely meet each other. As Nancy usually tells me: "You have the weirdest and coolest family I ever seen in my entire life"

Now I'm 17 and used to every little flaw that makes up my family. Each morning, Zoe's dad pick me up and drop Zoe and me at school at 8:00 (when school begins at 8:30) but it gives us plenty of time to gossip. Zoe was my first ever best-friend, even before we got friends with Nancy. She has always been in love with her neighbor, Samuel. Samuel was the brother of Byron, the boyfriend of Aubrey. I prefer not to talk about my love life; all the guys I've ever had a crush on, never did return my feeling. I was rejected, always... Why? I am fabulous!

8:00 exactly when we arrived. As usual we directed our path to Zoe's classed at that time there were only teachers and a few girls at school. "Beeeeeeeeeep! Beeeeeeeeep!" I forgot to put my phone on vibrate. I took my bag off my shoulders and began to search for it as this morning I just had time to drop my mobile in my bag.

"In your bag, seriously Had?" Zoe said as I interrupted her intense speech about the sparkling eyes of Samuel, with the search of my mobile. Sorry for that.

"I didn't have time, I woke up late this morning" I said still searching for that thing. Where art thou treacherous object?

But just as I found it, "Watch out!" Zoe said. Unfortunately I did not see what was in front of me and hit fully with a guy. My bag fell and before I could take it from the ground; he picked it up for me and handed it over. Thanks God my bag did not threw up its contents!

"Excuse me Miss, my fault" He said as I zipped back my bag and put it back on my shoulders. I raised my eyes to him and BAM! My eyes nearly exploded by such beauty.

"No, hum, I'm sorry I wasn't watching my steps, sorry." I said confusingly

"It's Ok. Can you please indicate me where the principal's office is, please?"

"Yeah, just on the left, the huge grey door" Zoe interrupted smiling.

He chuckled then said: "Thank you very much", he smiled then left for the office.

The principal's office has switched place this year, it was still on renovation process. The office took from middle left to far right, where our huge projection room was.

I was dazzled. Zoe gave me a light punch and woke me up.

"Hey lovelorn, he's cute huh?"

"What? Oh, him, yeah kind of" I said trying to pick back my memory.

"Stop watching" Zoe said as I stared to the office door which has just been closed.

"Yeah and why?" I said in defiance.

"Because he's the new Math teacher"

"What? He seems so young and how do you know that? Ewe MATH?" Kind information I hate Math.

"Remember I had to come to school during the holidays for those exam paper works?"

"Yeah"

"I saw the hottie and heard the other teachers saying that he's the new math teacher."

"Oh too bad! So much beauty wasted" *sigh*

"Why?" Zoe said not following my thoughts.

"He's a Math teacher"

And we both started to laugh like crazy and unfortunately we didn't notice that we were still laughing when we passed before Mr. Cain's (the principle) office. He burst out and said quite calmly "Keep quiet and go in your respective classes. Right now!"

"Sorry sir" we both said while looking at the ground so as to hold our laughs. I peeped in the office and saw the teacher sitting quietly with his nose in some papers.

We barged in the toilets and began to laugh like beasts. My mobile rang (I forgot about it completely), it was Nancy.

"Where the hell are you, I am here since 7.45. I sent you a message did you got it?"

"Sorry, sorry. We're coming!" I said

When we arrived in class, Zoe related the whole story to Nancy who became eager to see the new teacher.

Soon the others arrived and gossiping time began.
