THE SWEETEST SIN(BxB)

5: The Equation.

GAVIN.

The calculus lecture didn't seem to end and it felt like I was sitting in hell. What's worse is that, I couldn't comprehend a thing he was saying. It's like he was speaking gibberish.

Honestly, I don't understand how someone finds calculus amazing. This subject is torture. I'd rather watch Moana than sit through another second of a calculus lecture. Normally, I loathe Disney with all the crappy animations but it seems like a much better option at the moment.

I mean, who even invented Calculus in the first place? What was he thinking? My guess, he was a lonely miserable loser who didn't have anything better to do. Fuck him!

A loud yawn suddenly exited my mouth, thus drawing most people's attention. Their eyes were on me. Including the teacher's.

Who the fuck are you looking at? Mind your damn business, losers.

"Gavin, do you find this lesson boring?" The calculus teacher inquired.

"Ofcourse, it's the most boring lecture. I don't understand how you don't get bored, teaching this fucking subject. I'm literally feeling sleepy, just listening to you. "Was the reply that left my mouth. Murmurs and laughs could be heard in the class.

"Gavin, get out of my class." Seemingly pissed, the teacher stated.

"Thank you sir. I thought you'd never ask." I sighed in relief and got up from my seat.

"Also, you have detention today. So you can kiss basket ball practice, goodbye." His decree caused me to halt in my tracks. Basketball was my life and without it, I was nothing. A nobody.

"Sir...you can't do that. You know that I have a big game next week..I can't miss practice." I tried to reason with him but the fucker just continued writing something on the white board, ignoring my pleas.

"You should have thought of that before making rude comments in my class." He replied.

"Sir, I'm sorry for the comments. I will do anything but please don't make me miss practice." I felt pathetic, begging this loser but it was the only option at that moment.

"Okay. Then, why don't you solve this equation on the board?If you get it right, I will lift the detention but if you fail, you'll get a week's detention. Which means, no practice for a week." A Victorious smile danced on his lips after he had made the declaration.

Fuck! He knows that I don't know shit about Calculus. He knows that I won't get it right. What the fuck do I do now?

"Sure. I will solve the equation." A nervous smile coated my facial features as I took the marker pen from him. I could hear a few giggles in the classroom. They were obviously finding my situation, hilarious. I'd laugh at myself too.

My heart was doing all kinds of somersaults as I stared at the writings on the white board. I had no fucking clue what I was staring at. All I could make out was letter f and x and a bunch of numbers.

"Make sure to explain to the rest of the class how to solve the equation." The teacher added, causing my heart to drop to the floor.

How the fuck does he expect me to explain something that I can't even solve?

"Umm...to find the value of f at x, you...umm..." The words slipped out of my dessicated lips as I tried to solve the problem. My hand was trembling as I tried to scribble something on the board. I was fucking clueless and no amount of scribbling could save the situation.

Suddenly, the teacher's phone commenced ringing. He excused himself by exiting the classroom. A folded piece of paper suddenly, landed on the floor next to my feet. I crouched and picked the folded paper then clandestinely, unfolded it.
