Tia and Ash were waiting for both Rebecca and Ian to appear in the class. Tia was saving seat for Ian beside her and Ash sitting in front of Tia was saving seat for  Rebecca. They had just finished wrestling about taking the back seat.

   Ash wanted to sit behind Tia and Ian because she never like Physics. Tia argued for them to sit in front  because Rebecca had to study. Ash finally let Tia take the back seat. Minutes pass the clock was close to struck 9 am. Ash was drumming her fingers on the desk and Tia was swinging her pen between her fingers her eyes fixed on the wall clock.

    "Where the hell are they ?!" Tia yelled in frustration.

  Ash looked up and simply shrugged her shoulders.

    "Thier bikes are here, so they are probably roaming here and  there. Getting into troubles." Ash said

    Tia sighed widely letting out a big gush of breath.

   " Call them please ..." She said dropping her head in her hands.

   Ash shrugged again, showing her cellphone to her.

   "No balance. You try !", She said.

   Tia dropped her head down again in her hands. Shoting up she stared at Ash in extreme anger.

    "You are completely useless, Ash !" Tia said helplessly.

    "Rude, take that back !" Ash snapped, clapping her both hands on the desk.

  Before Tia could say anything, the door creaked alittle opening widely. Tia and Ash raised up to see who came half praying thier teacher wouldn't had came..

   To thier relief they saw, Ian and Rebecca trotting inside the class. Ash stood up to signalled them about where they were seated. Looking at Ash waving, the two girls made thier ways towards them.

    "Morning !" Rebecca said taking her place beside Ash.
"How come you are in front ?"

   Ash made an ugly face, crossing her arms.

    "For you. So that madam Rebecca could study.", She said.

    "Oh come on. Im not a book worm.", Rebecca said taking out her books.

   Ian shifted backwards beside Tia. She sat down giving out a weak smile. Tia attempted to scold Ian for being late in the class but  when Ian came closer, she noticed her puffy red eyes, red nose and very stressed face.

    "What's wrong ? Have you been ok ?" Tia asked lowering her voice.

    "What ? Oh ! Emmm...yeah. I am good." Ian said searching for her book and copy.

   Tia made a face again. A face that she usually made when she wanted to hit someone.

     "Good morning Class !" The teacher entered at exactly 9 am.

     "Good morning Sir Adrian !" The chorus replied back.

     "Morning. Class take your books out. Turn to page 297. Read out the paras while I draw diagrams on the board." He said, taking his windbreaker out and turning to face the board.

   Tia waited for thier sir to have his back on them when she shifted towards Ian again.

     "Your eyes. They are puffy. You have been crying, haven't you ?" She asked in a whisper.

  Ian shook her head voilently that her glasses slipped down to the end of her nose.

    "Not quite. I don't cry, you know that." Ian said pushing them back.
