~Chapter 15~

As soon as the bell went to indicate the end of the lesson, I jumped out of my seat and started to pack my books away very fast.

Once this was done, I looked around to see everyone still sat down but now with their eyes on me.

‘Oops, maybe I packed away a little bit too fast’

My eyes glanced over at the teacher, Mr Humphrey who had his hands rested on his hips. He had a disapproving look on his face and started to shake his head side to side.

“I didn’t think my lessons were that boring, Mr Jefford,” he exclaimed in his loud booming voice.

“Err, sorry sir.” I mumbled, sitting back down and trying to stop from embarrassing myself any further.

Once I had taken my seat and looked up at the board, Mr Humphrey’s resumed his lesson. The only thing I could hear was his loud voice explaining something about chromosomes and genes to make a child. His voice was not the only one that could be heard in the room as I heard someone snigger from my left hand side. Turning my body to a 90 degree angle, I realised that this was none other than Belle.  She had her both feet crossed over on top of the table-her usual position and was teasing me for the embarrassment that I had just received.

After a few minutes, everyone did start to pack away their own books and equipment. I just sat there watching them do this as Mr Humphreys had a rule. If you are late to his lesson, you are the last to leave. If you cause disruption to his lesson, you are last to leave.

So who would be last to leave today?

Me, of course.

Leaning into my chair, I sighed heavily. I really wanted to get out of here and check out that job. Who knows, it just might be what we need. Not to mention that it would help Belle out so much.

Mr Humphrey’s just sat there looking at me. I’d be lying if I didn’t feel very awkward and intimidated at that point. He is a big man, after all! A very big man...

I looked at all four walls, knowing that Belle would be annoyed by now. I laughed in my head- she might even attempt to kick the door in her frustration.

So, I waited. I waited to see if she actually did do what I predicted.

Mr Humphrey’s started to speak from his computer screen, “Mr Jefford, please remain to keep your enthusiasm at bay in my lessons. If you fail to do so, I may have to remove you from my class and that would be a shame as you are an asset to teach,”

I couldn’t reply though for I heard a loud bang come from the direction of the door.

“Just let him out already!” I heard a loud female voice shout from the other side.

I burst out laughing, I knew it! I knew she’d do it.

After calming down my laughter, I turned to Mr Humphrey’s who had a slight crease in his forehead, “I’m sorry, sir. It won’t happen again.”

He nodded before replying, “You’re free to go Mr Jefford. Please don’t be too excited to leave my lesson next time.”

“Of course sir,” I murmured before starting to walk out of the door. Before I walked pas the threshold I heard him exclaim,
