Tame That Girl

Love Triangle?- part 2

I raise an eyebrow at Kevin yet did not try and regain contact with Max. Max was smirking and Kevin was seizing Max up. I walk to my class which I also had with Max. Apparently so did Kevin because we all walked inside the class together.

This teacher is more controlling than Mr. Croft. Mrs. Harold was from Australia and did not let anyone forget that she studied American culture and is out to fox the American society. Unfortunately she has favorites in her class. The people who by her definition are not corrupt from the American society. Lucky for me, as long as I speak to her in Spanish -basically all I have to say is “hola”- then she will love me for the rest of the day.

Max however is not on her favorites list so he always stick to me so that he is not picked on. I risk getting on her nerves when I hang around Max but I would never abandon him so I am stuck with sitting next to him and trying my best to keep things negotiable when things tend to get out of hand.

I wonder how Mrs. Harold will handle Kevin.

“Um excuse me young man but you are not welcomed here”, Mrs. Harold looks directly at Kevin. Wow... Harsh.

“I may not be welcomed but this is the class I am suppose to report to. Plus I have every class that this girl has”, Kevin replies shocking me.

“Every class”, I question in wonder.

“Fortunately”, Kevin mocks me causing me to frown at him.

Suddenly I realized something. I did not talk to Mrs. Harold in Spanish yet.

“Lo siento señora pero este joven es un asediador (I’m sorry ma’am but this teenager is a stalker)”, I quickly fill her in on my situation. Mrs. Harold widens her eyes in surprise. I smirk at Kevin and knows that he will not be able to bother me in this class.

“Ma’am I can assure you that I am not stalking her. We have an arranged marriage so my parents thought that it was best that we have the same classes so that we may get to know each other better”, Kevin tries to reassure Mrs. Harold causing me to almost faint from shock. I shake my head.

“No that is a lie”, I try to convince myself.

“She is already my fiance how can that make perfect sense”, Max states. I shake my head at him.

“Max we are not engaged”, I inform him.

“Do you three need to settle this in the hallway”, Mrs. Harold questions.

“No”, I reply firmly and take my seat in class with Kevin and Max flanking beside me. Mrs. Harold takes a deep breath before beginning with the lesson. I just can’t focus on the lesson wondering if what Kevin said was the truth or not. However Mrs. Harold was over my dilemma and was teaching the class and now demanded an answer to the question direct4ed at me.

“Mrs. Harold can Kevin answer that question for me”, I ask with a shy smile that only 3 people besides myself can detect as fake.

“Sure. Kevin”, Mrs. Harold acquiesces to my request.

“Why not Max answer it since he seems eager to give you the proper answer”, Kevin smoothly suggests taking up my way of avoiding answering questions.

“He seems to be but is he really eager”, Mrs. Harold inquires.

“Well Mrs. Harold if I answer that question then I would have answered you key question and I do not want to ruin Max chance to say the correct most appropriate answer”, Kevin counters.

It is safe to say that is how the whole class went. Different students trying to get away from answering the question and Kevin always trying to put Max in a bad light although I whispered to Kevin that his plan was back-firing on him. Max appeared to be quite amused by Kevin’s show but I knew better. If Kevin had gym with Max then Kevin should avoid him.

So class ended and it was time for break. I needed some answers from Kevin. The main objective is finding out if we really are in an arranged marriage. If not then why is Kevin here? Looks like Kevin is not the guy that I fell in love with. I wonder where my childhood friend wandered off to.

Author- Sorry if it is boring. I know it is not the greatest chapter that I've written.
