Behind The Reason

3. Embarassed

We had taken some time to find our classroom and when it was done we were both surprised at what we saw, rather, who we saw in the back of the room.

"Nooo !!! " I said " you're not serious? "

" Why not ? You missed me admit it! »

" How did you do that ?" Exclaimed Alejandro.

"Well, I can say that the director could not resist my charm and here I am"

"Ew gross. But anyway it was barely two seconds"

"It is not me who is long as a turtle to find a simple room. Take a seat while there is still time "

The students began to take a seat one by one, being observant as I am, I had already ranked them according to my calculations. Geeks, nerds, top models, the idiots who think they are funny and attractive but are only brainless I bet they're one of those basketball player or whatever other sport they practice and finally the simple students. Without realizing it I said it a little bit louder than I expected helping Kathy and Alejandro to follow with their eyes what I said.

"Well, well, I'll class you among the nerds, you've found that without being told who's who" said Kathy with clapping her hand.

"And he... is the handsome kid that everyone is crazy about and who feels fresh with every step he makes I bet there is one of his whores in this room" I said, cutting off his monologue when this guy was heading towards our direction, "I'm sure he's mane is Mickaël or Josh." *Oops warning! He took a seat next to Alejandro*

"I can see that the new girl in class already knows my name, hi Kate" when he and Alejandro do their handshake.

"What?" I asked surprised. Kathy was laughing as she does so well

"You said my name." I looked shocked than I was before and he continued his sentence, "Josh, did you say Josh or I'm wrong?" "

" Oh that !" I said embarrassed and suddenly I felt weird, I had that feeling when I was younger when my dad caught me in the middle of the night eating Nutella with spoon or another things that I shouldn't do. "It was just the name of one of the guys from my favorite band where I came from and who ..."

" Hello everybody !" Exclaimed the professor. Whew ! Thank God, what happen to me to made me go say that again

"Hey, the new-girl! You'll tell me after class eh »

"Huh ?! What? "

" The group ? Josh? Forget already? "

"Ah yes, that! Yes of course, don't worry". Kathy nudged and winked at me. "What? Don't you think that I'm in a big crap now? Number one he must take me for a psycho and two there's not even a group" I murmured. 

"It's not me who invented that, now assume." 

"Okay, we gotta study or nah!" I spoke even  louder than I needed to, much louder than the teacher could even hear. 

"Yes miss we'll do it soon but before, I want everyone to introduce themselves, starting with you. " 

"Isn't that supposed to be put in a sheet?" I murmured. And still, no luck, everyone was silent then my voice was heard clearly. 

"Yes" said the teacher, "but I don't have the time to analyze 27 sheets per class and to distinguish who is who so we are going to start with you and if you want to add something start with 'my name is', thank you. " 

Wow... "Well, my name is Alison,  Alison Pierce Nguyen, I was born in Southampton but I lived in Birmingham a two-hour drive north west of London and we just moved to your city three months ago . I think that's all " 

" Age ? Single? Social life ?" Shouted one of the guys that I'd definitely rated in the idiots categories. 

"Leave her alone" Josh said. 

"Boys this is not time for that! Thank you Alison, you can sit down now and try not to make too much noise in the future. " 

" Yes sir. "  

The classes were great and teachers were all pretty cool I would say, it was successful for a first day but still waiting to see what's happen next. Josh had forgotten the band's story and luckily for me too.
I had learned a lot about the school, the students and especially those in my class. Yes I judged them too soon but they were all nice, after my little presentation and drama I had become the focus of everyone, something that I really hate.
They had asked me a lot of questions about my hometown, the people there, the way we live that is certainly not so different from here but it was like I was doing some kind of speech, they were asking me question about everything I said and it got really boring.
When it was time to go home, I came home alone because as Lucy had said, I had to go to the shop before returning home, fortunately it is only two blocks from our house and it don't take me too long to go there. I could go by car with Al 'and Kathy but I wanted to walk to enjoy this good day, yes a weird way to savor his day huh, I know but it's all I want right now just because I want to be alone or that I'm in a good mood or something else, I can say that it's normal if the students of my old high school told me that I was weird.
Arrived at the shop I had just helped Lucy with the flowers and luckily for her the market is also going well since. There are so many people who come to visit us, from young to old, there is a multitude of buyers for different occasions too.
Arriving here we prayed that what Lucy would do would benefit us and help us and seeing these three months since our move, I can say that it works as perfect as we wished as long as it continues.
The shop closed at 07:30p.m and after that we came back, by the way I'm really starving I think I could perfectly eat an elephant right now.

Tell me what you think about this chapter... What would come up next ?
