Walls

Chapter 18 part1

This chapter is a flashback *****

I walked towards the small wooden fence. On the other side of the fence is our church's garden. I pass here everyday because it is the easiest and fastest way to our school. Besides, the beautiful flowers makes my day wonderful.

"Psst!" I turned from the source of the sound, and there I saw Jayson up in the tree. He was not wearing his polo uniform and was lying on the big branch with cigarette in his left hand.

"Jays? Aren't you going to school?" I asked. "And how many times do I have to tell you that smoking is bad for your health?" I said putting my hands on my waist.

He just chuckled and sat up.

"I'm not going." He said.

"Why? We have quiz today." I said.

He just shrugged his shoulder.

I don't want to ruin my mood, especially this early, so I stopped arguing with him and I shrugged also.

"Fine. Just stop the smoking please. You're poisoning the plants around you." I said. "If you're not going, well I'm going. So, bye." I turned my heels and walked away.

Our school is only less than 10minute walk away from our grand parents' house especially when I take the shortcut in the church garden but I still leave the house at least 45minutes before bell. So when I reached our school, there were still very few students.

I went to our room and saw my friend, who is also an early bird like me, Sky. Sky is a very close friend of mine and I love him. He is, just like me, very active in academics.

"Goodmorning Yel!" He cheerfully greeted me. I smiled on his very high energy in the morning.

"Goodmorning too Sky." I replied as I gave him a hug. I am pretty comfortable with Sky since he is gay.

We did a little chitchat then soon most of our classmates are already in the room. Later, the bell rang signaling the start of our class.

We all went back to our proper seats as our adviser/ teacher went inside our room. I was seated at the back and was the only one without a seatmate. Well, I was the one who made the seat plan so I made sure I don't have a seatmate so that I could concentrate in class. Okay, the real reason is to have a bigger space.

"Goodmorning class." Greeted by Mr. DeJesus.

We all greeted him back and went back to our seats. I was pulling my Algebra book from my bag when someone walks in the door.

I turned to see who that was and was surprised to see Jayson walking and passing by our adviser.

Mr. DeJesus was also surprised. He looked obviously pissed by Jayson's action but still tried to calm down.

Jayson on the other hand, instead of sitting on his proper seat, went directly towards me and seated on the vacant seat on my left.

"Mr. Guevarra, you are late." Mr DeJesus said.

Jays just lazily seated and slouched back not minding our adviser who was talking to him.

I nudged him using my elbow, hinting him to acknowledge Mr. DeJesus. This is not the first time he ignores our teacher so I'm sure Mr. DeJesus is just a thread away from bursting.

Jays just looked at me with a "What?" face. I gave him a "Our teacher is talking to you" face in return. He just shrugged and closed his eyes.

Everyone is looking at us. They know how hard headed Jayson is and they are also waiting for Mr. DeJesus burst.
