Loving The Unexpected

Chapter 2

The first subject we have for the day was science and as usual, Mrs. Ferguson would stroll into the class wearing heavy make-up and sit down and would get up again as if there was a sharp knife on the seat. So weird.

"Everyone stand on your feet." This was like a normal routine she did every Monday morning. She would then ask a question and whoever answered it correctly would sit down, but unfortunately Mrs. Ferguson hates me for no reason so I usually stand for the whole science period. (This actually reminds me of one of the teachers in my school.)

"What is the valency of sodium?" Mrs. Ferguson asked the class.

I quickly raise up my hand up. "Oh boy, no more leg aches after science class today." I said to myself with glee.

"Anyone?" She asked even though she clearly saw me raising my arm. I mean I am standing right in front of the middle row!!

Just then Layla raises her arm and Mrs. Ferguson called her.

"The valency of sodium is eleven." She said as she saw me frowning at her.

"Very good Layla, you may have your seat."

She quickly sits down and starts scribbling in her jotter.

Layla sits next to Jezebel (Damn I can feel my cheeks flushing like a volcano just erupted in my mouth.) I start day dreaming again, I imagine myself just going to her, holding her gently and kissing her passionately, and I would feel her soft hair, her amazing hair, her silky soft amazing her on my palm, ah heaven.

I quickly snap out of it when I hear my name.

"Ken! Since it looks like you are dying for a question, I will give you one. What is an Isotope?"

"An Isotope" I ask myself. "What the fuck is an Isotope?"

"I don't know, just say its an element with antelope origin."

"An isotope is an element which has antelope origin." I said unsure. Shit! I must know better than to listen to my subconscious.

"That is so wrong!! Anyone else?" Cara quickly raises her hands and answers the question

"That's better, you may take your seat."

"Now what is the electronic configuration of calcium?"

"2,8,8,2" I kept on saying in my head in vain as she called Mike to answer.

Shit! Has it ever occurred to you that it seems like they are giving the easiest questions to everyone else but then you get the hardest questions? It's so annoying!!

Mrs. Ferguson ends up calling everyone else to answer a question except me. I mean it's not my fault I got that question wrong, she hadn't taught us and like Cara is the smartest girl in class, I'm sure she read straight from the text book. Ughh!

So I end up standing for science class. Oh well, so what else is new.

Science is over and I go to my locker to get my mathematics books when I see Jezebel walking down the hall way.

"This is my chance to go up and talk to her." So I quickly pack my books and briskly make my way to her.

"Hi Jezebel" I said with a familiar sensation I feel on my cheeks.

"Oh hi Ken" she says back. "I felt sorry for you when I saw you standing up during science." She says with a gentle voice.

Oh my God! Are my eyes deceiving me? Am I day dreaming? Is she blushing? Yes! Yes she is! I felt so happy. But nothing lasts forever, I look round just to see the new kid Austin smiling and waving at her. It was like all my happiness was being sucked out of me. I felt like jumping into a black hole or disappearing of the face of the earth.( It seems like I'm overreacting but when you like a girl that much, the feeling is inevitable).

We both make our way to Math class.

School is over and I quickly say good bye to my friends, and make my way through the busy hall with my big sis.

We finally make it and see mum in the car waiting for us.
We reach home.

I do my homework and quickly drop on the bed hoping to continue my wrestling match with those two bears.
