Together forever

Chapter-8

Althea.

November 2011

"Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms." Our science teacher started.

"Ali... please say yes babe," Its Ray now.

"They are divided into two domains," that's Mr. Rogers again.

"It happens once in two years Ali," Ray said.

"Archea..."

"Biggest ferry wheel..."

"Bacteria..."

"Icecream..."

Their words kept competing with each other making it impossible to concentrate on either. However, both were equally persistent in irritating the hell out of me.

"Is there a problem Ray?" Mr. Brown asked making me flush red in embarrassment at being caught.

"This girl here doesn't want to come to annual fair sir. I am trying to put some sense into her head," Ray said nonchalantly, pointing me with tilt of his head making me glare at him.

"Oh the annual fair. Trust me Althea, you don't want to miss it. It's the best I have seen in my lifetime. It's the best our little town can offer. Give it a try," Mr.Brown said with a big smile making most girls, including me swoon.

Mr. Brown is one of the youngest teachers of our school. At age of 32 with a body which belongs to a model, and his geeky spects made him perfect material for girls to go crazy for him. I would be lying if I say I didn't have a thing for him. His passion for science and his oh so sweet smiles made him even more desirable.

With him saying it so nicely, I think I won't be able to say no, even if I try. So I simply nodded with a shy smile dropping my head. I can carryout a debate with him about the Darwin's theory but when he is all sweet, I can't help but turn into a blushing mess.

"Now that it's solved, will you stop disturbing my class Ray?" he asked.

"Yes. Thanks for the help," Ray answered.

When I turned towards Ray again, he was glaring at me.

"What?" I mouthed.

"I was asking you for a fucking hour Ali," he grumbled with a cute pout. I simply shrugged my shoulder and turned back to Mr. Brown's class with a smile

........

"Don't say you are still mad at me for morning Ray. I know you are a child. But still, this is a bit too much even for you. Don't you think?" I said during lunch when Ray dint take his usual seat beside me.

"Wait. What happened in the morning? What did I miss?" Joe, the drama lover, asked.

Aaron nudged my shoulder and raised his eyebrow. I shrugged my shoulder knowing quite well that Ray would be narrating the whole incident in no time.

"I was asking her to come to annual fair for whole second period. All the time she gave me no. That science guy said once, and she fucking accepted. Just like that," he said making me roll my eyes again, and the guys laughed at his theatrics.

"He is our teacher Ray. Of course I wouldn't argue with him," I said.

"Oh shut up girl. You were all blushes and shy smiles. Don't give such lame ass excuses," he countered.

"Stop being an ass. It's not my fault that he is so cute," I said defensively making them groan.

Being with boys all the time has its own disadvantages. I don't get to talk about my little crushes like I did with my girlfriends anymore.
