Chapter 24
Anika's POV:
"So let's talk about Romeo and Juliet. Can everyone think of one fact and tell me one at a time." Christian said, drawing a bubble map on the whiteboard. Not even one second later, nearly everyone's hands were up.
"Josh, could you tell me something?" Christian said, pulling the typical teacher move choosing him only because his hand isn't up. Josh is one of the very smart students, but he never speaks in class and works silently with his headphones in
"Ummmm the author who wrote it was William Shakespeare," Josh mumbled.
"You are correct well done," Christian said, writing what Josh said on the board.
Scarlett, you're up next," he announced which made Scarlett look at me for help but I just mouthed you got this.
"Uhhhh, William Shakespeare Wrote it between April 26, 1564 - April 23, 1616. Scarlett said correctly, which made me smile at her.
"I'm amazed you know the date even I struggle to remember that sometimes," Christian chuckled writing on the board.
"Miss Abide, you're up," Christian said, looking at her ready for her to give a stupid reply.
"Well sirrrr," she said, dragging her words along at an attempt to flirt, which made me softly giggle to myself.
"I heard that Juliet is actually Romeo's sister." She said proudly, which made the whole class erupt in laughter.
"Quieten down class. Unfortunately, that is the wrong answer, Zoe. Romeo and Juliet are not siblings they are from it. Christian said which made Zoe scoff.
"Anika, you're up next," Christian said, looking at me, which made Sam nudge me and smirk.
"Romeo and Juliet were in a forbidden relationship," I said, which is ironic considering Christian and I are in one too.
Ok, this was the answer I was looking for. Well done, Anika." He said writing it on the board.

(Skip an hour)
After we finished pointing facts out, Christian played Romeo and Juliet on the projector, so now I'm just watching it and writing notes down.
Beep beep beeeeeep said the school bell.
"Before everyone leaves for lunch, I'm setting you guys homework," Christian said which made the class complain.
"I know, I know. All you have to do is pick a topic related to Romeo and Juliet and write about it. It's that simple. It's due tomorrow. Now get lost, you wild kids." Christian said, opening the door to let everyone out.
"Miss Ahmed, could you stay back for a second, please?" Christian said in his teacher tone.
"Sure Sir, guys you go ahead I'll catch up with you," I said to Sam and Scarlett. Christian waited for the last student, then closed the door behind him and came over to me. Anticipation starts to build as I finally get to talk to him alone without everyone else around.
