She's weird and unique at least that's what she thinks because her
mother always said "be you and never, I mean never change for someone else".
"First day of school and I'm already late. Goodness, now what will the teachers think of me" said salima as she was hurrying to her first lesson when she suddenly tripped and fell, "great" she murmured.
Apparently she didn't know where she was headed so she stopped a student, a boy her age to ask for directions. "Excuse me" she said and the boy turned to look at her with his brown eyes. His eyes were those eyes that when you look at them they take your breath away from you and you still won't notice it.
"What" the boy replied. "Can you please tell me where classroom of Mr Baines is, I have English now and I'm running late?" "Sure I'm headed that way, I could show you "the boy replied with a smile that could light up the whole world.
She followed the boy thinking he's okay and that maybe, just maybe this new school wouldn't be so bad after all.
When she turned to leave he caught her hand and asked "what's your name " she replied that she doesn't give strangers her name and with that she left and her lesson started.
She thought she won't see him again or at least not in class with her. What are the chances she has all of her classes with him except English. On top of it all she has to sit with him in all the lessons for the rest of year.
"Are you kidding me" she thought, like how that even possible. Did the teachers plan this or something cause it sure as hell looks like a conspiracy.
Last lesson of the day was maths. She liked maths, at least she did before it got complicated and all.
The class started and the teacher started to take attendance. Her name was up first then her desk mate was up "Axel" the teacher asked. He replied with a simple yes and turn to look at her with a smile. She looked away quickly before he could interact with her. The lesson went pretty well, the teacher did some explaining on the whiteboard and then he told us to work with the book. The book that had the equations and all the answers at the back. So that when you are done with the questions you could check the answers and correct them yourself and when you didn't understand anything you just answer the teacher and he explains.
She did all her questions corrected them and some she got wrong and she understood why. Here and there she helped axel when he asked for her help. She wasn't a cruel person to refuse anyone help. He sometimes said things that made her smile even if she didn't want to. He was funny, that she had to admit even though she never told him.
When the class was about to end the teacher said "it's time to end the lesson so put your things together and" he was about to continue when salima sneezed and said "Alhamdullilah". Then everybody looked at her since the class was quiet and you could hear a pin drop. "Well that's awkward". She thought out loud and some of the students giggled. She started to pack her things and that's when he suddenly said "you are cute when you do that you know". And her mind went................................................???
Next on : Will she be swayed or a will she rise above? Will he be more than she expected?
