My Little Devil

Chapter Five: What are the odds

Walking in the hallway, I saw a different world. ‘So this is how it looks like when it has only few people’ I thought. The place where crowds of students talk and group themselves has now become a lover spot. Rarely did I notice their glances to me as I pass; they were so absorbed in their own little world.

After taking out my books in my locker I forge ahead to the second floor where my first class is. The hall was nearly empty that my heels’ sound prevalent the hall. I kept checking my watch as I walked as fast as I can. Taking a deep breath I opened the door.

“Well, so nice of you to join us Ms Campbell” Our math teacher said. His name is Steven by the way. He belongs to the SKATE teachers. These SKATE teachers are those who give low and rarely give high grades they make the student's life hell. It was formed by an anonymous student who made their first letter in their name the acronym.

The class’ eyes were fixed on me. But I just gave away a very apologetic look.

“I’m really sorry I’m late” I said as I went on to my sit and place everything ready. I opened my book to our current topic and started to follow with my eyes what our teacher was reading. The class was quiet, they didn’t want an F in behaviour and Steven is known to do so. Time flew in one blink and first period was over. Steven packed his things and rushed to the door but he paused and looked back at the class.

“Where is Ms Campbell… ah.. there she is” He said as he spotted my head. “Come with me for a second please.”

I nodded as I went outside “What is it Sir?” I asked.

“Well. You see I have a favour to ask you.----“

“What you failed in Math again? ”Girl number one said.

I chose to number them by reason of not being familiar with their names. I went to a closer view where a man is surrounded by hordes of girls fixing their hair, laughing at every jokes he gave, trying to be cute which made them look like an attention whore, an accurate world would best describe what they’re doing and it is flirting.

“Well he practically teaches us crap” Ryan said

“You could say that again” As the girl giggled

“Students who studies are chums haha---“he stopped as his eyes went to me. “Hey gorgeous want to join us?”as he exits his harem and advanced in front of me.

I give up, this is a joke why would I in the right mind agreed to this’ I thought as I turn my back. I can’t believe Steven would ask me a stupid task, sometimes I wish I was not myself then I would’ve rejected the offer.

“Ryan!! Come back here” a girl shouted.

“I’m sorry girls” he said as he ran to my side.”Hey wait up”

“Chums huh?” I finally spoke as I glared at him
