Destiny's Game

Chapter 5: Time to Resume

Luckily,I don't have an advisory so whenever I don't have classes yet,I spend my time in my office for I was the School Publication Coordinator of our school,that's why I have my own office.

So inside my office,I usually spend my time on making lesson plans and drinking milk instead of coffee,that is what everyone in the school knows.But nobody knows that I am writing a book entitled 'The Long Wait'.It tells about the story of my life and it serves as my diary.I wish that someday,it will be published by a well-known company and will become popular—just the book,not me.

Sitting down on my chair,I glanced on my wrist watch realizing that it's already 10 minutes to go before my first class starts.So,I stood up,fixed my sleeves,and went out of my office taking a book and a pen clipped on my polo's chest pocket.I ambled my way to the first class of my day,but I froze on my tracks in the middle part of a classroom's aisle when I heard voices of students giving farewell.

"Goodbye Ms.Hickson!",the students said in sync with their intonations making it more synced.

Hickson...Hickson...Hickson...

I think I know someone with the name 'Hickson'.I mean 'knew',not know...

Hickson?

That's Jenie's surname,of course!

I slowly sneaked towards the entrance of the classroom and saw students standing up,some were about to sit,and some were already sitting down and were about to prepare for their next subject.And then my eyes' vision turned on the other side of the room which is the exit.There,I saw the back of a woman who's exiting the door.When the back disappeared on my vision,I moved my head outside when suddenly,the students inside the room greeted me to show respect thus making me abort my motion.

"Good morning Mr.Hamilton!",the students said.

"Is there anything we can do for you Sir?",a student who seemed to be their smartest asked.

"I just want to ask,what was the name of the teacher who just came out of your room?",I asked the smart girl.

"Ah..That was Ms.Jenie Melisse Hickson,our English teacher.She's the new teacher of our school.Do you have a transaction with her Sir?",she asked politely.

"Uhm..No..Nothing.Continue your work.",I responded.

All of them went back to their work as if I didn't happened.So,I did what I planned earlier expecting to finally see Jenie after 9 years.

But I wasn't able to.I wasn't able to catch up.

Eventhough I wasn't able to see her,at least I had a good news sticked inside my mind.

Jenie is back.

4:51 PM , my office

I'm still confused about it.Mr.Hickson told me that it will take years for them to come back,or maybe not anymore.But why are they back already?

Well,maybe I was just too patient.I've been waiting for her for 9 years and counting.

I was trying to linger in my thoughts when suddenly,someone drew me out of it by knocking on my door.

"Come in.",I permitted.

It was Bea.Wearing her knee-leveled white skirt,matched with her white fitting blouse that emphasized her body shape,and her red sun glasses.So fashionable.More like,a Taylor Swift outfit.And she was also wearing black doll shoes that obviously made her a very fluent color matcher.

"Hi!",she exclaimed cheerfully as she moved towards me with small steps and her lips' corners that almost reached her ears.

"Hey Bea! How you doin'?",I asked standing up and hugged her.
