Aurel-: Until when are you planning to follow me, go to your class.
Irene-: I hate to say this but we are in the same class. Why that bloody old hag gave me admission in such a shitty school and above all that with this dumbhead in the same class.
Aurel-: You're in the same class as me (shocking expression).
Ah really, why that butt…. Aish…I'm doomed for ever.
The classroom door opens and the head teacher looks at them with fury eyes. Attention of the whole classroom was now towards both of them, she gave off a cruel teacher's vibe.
Aurel stood firmly in front of the teacher and with trembling voice said G..G….Goo.
Teacher-: Don't you know how to speak.
Then with one full breathe he said Good Morning, mam. His voice was so loud that it was audible to the whole classroom and even the neighboring ones. Everyone was startled and was accompanied by laughter but the teacher was standing firm ready to bite off both of them at any moment.
Irene-: Hello, ..no I … I… mean G… Goo…Good Morning mam.
Teacher-: Are you both in a relationship?
Both-: Noooo mam.
Teacher -: Then why are you both coming together so late after the 1st period is over and who are you, I have never seen you before.
Aurel-: No mam, I don't even know her.
Teacher-: Shut up, I'm not talking to you.
(Aurel swallowed a lump with that voice of the teacher)
Hmm tell me who are you?
Irene-: I'm a transfer student. I got lost since this is my first day at this school.
Teacher-: Hmm, what is your name?
Irene-: My name is Irene fox.
Teacher-: Go sit at the last bench of the third row.
Irene and Aurel started walking when the teacher banged his stick on Aurel's butt. He shrieked out of pain.(Ah,…Ah...…Ahhhhh….Ah).
Where do you think you're going, I only asked her to go to her seat and as for you, you have been neglecting your studies way too much so now kneel down here until the next period.
Irene entered the classroom and everyone was mesmerized by this blonde beauty. Her flawless skin made even the girls hearts flutter. Her wasp like waist, slender eyebrows, shining complexion, heart shaped lips, skinny yet marvellous dandy figure with golden locks covering half of her face gave off a vibrant yet chic girl's look.
Rob was the first student to greet Irene but it was not welcomed warmly by Irene, while she greeted all her female classmates warmly, it was not received well by the so called previous class beauties. She was the most beautiful girl now in Oak High School.
This was all disrupted by the arrival of the mathematics teacher. Everyone's mind was back at their classroom.
Recess break,
Aurel was sleeping on his bench while Irene was busy on something. Once again Rob came towards Irene. Looking at Aurel sleeping he made his first move by offering to treat Irene to canteen, but was refused swiftly.
Rob-: Oh come on, we are friends and friends can treat each other.
Irene-: Of course, friends can treat each other but only when they are interested and right now I'm sorry I'm not interested. So next time.
Aurel( with eyes closed)-: You should accept the offer.
Hearing Aurel's voice Rob ran off with top speed. Irene was confused with his behaviour.
Irene-: It's none of your business. Only I have the right to decide whose offer I have to accept, so please shut your mouth.
Aurel-: Eh, keep quiet, can't you see I'm trying to get a good sleep.
Irene-: Ah, these perverted boys.
Aurel-: What are you busy with? It seems quite important.
Irene-: I told you not to meddle in my business.
(After a momentary silence), Can you,…. Mmm by any chance teach me how to do telepathy. I'm trying but I still can't.
Aurel-: You told me not to meddle in your business.
Irene gritting her teeth, Can you teach me.
Aurel-: I can't hear you, say it loudly.
Irene (letting out a deep sigh)-: Master Aurel can you please teach me.
Aurel stood up from his seat and held Irene's cheeks. He came too close to Irene, so close that it was difficult for Irene to move even an inch.
Irene-: Wh… Wh… Wh.. What are you doing?
Aurel-: concentrate on just one thing. I'm sure you must also have undergone that operation otherwise you shouldn't have tried this ability.
How much ability did you get from the operation?
Irene-: 5% only.
Aurel-: You can do it, now just concentrate on your mind. Don't think of anything and try to connect with me. Forget about your surroundings and close your eyes.
Irene did as he said, she closed her eyes and only thought of Aurel. After a few tries she was able to hear his voice and as soon as she heard it she asked him, Did you speak?
Aurel hit her head and said, You dumb head, can't you really understand that you succeeded. But as soon as you succeeded you broke the connection.
Irene( soothing her head) -: Did you really have to hit me that hard. It hurts.(starts crying).
Aurel-: Ah, I'm sorry. Let's try it again.
He again held her face and she started to concentrate. She succeeded in her first try but it was only for a short moment, once again and this time she was able to speak with him for nearly 2 mins.
Classmate(enters)-: Ehhhh, are you both kissing?
Irene pushed him as hard as he could and with a thud Aurel fell on his chair and sat down. The classmate's lollipop fell down from her mouth as she looked at both of them with her eyeballs wide open seeming like they could fall down anytime.
Irene( hiding her face )-: No, no this is not what you saw. The thing is…. Mmm,…. Something fell inside my eyes, so he was just trying to clean it. Nothing else.(Fake smile)
Classmate-: Is it true, Aurel?
Aurel-: Then what else. Did you really think I will kiss this girl. Hehhe, not a chance.
Irene-: Don't you worry, if you're the only person left in this whole world I still will not kiss you.
Her furious expression startled both Aurel and the classmate that they looked at her with a surprised expression. Realising that this was too much on her first day, she went to the door to greet her classmate.
Irene-: Hello, I'm Irene. (shaking her hands)
Classmate-: Hell… Hello, I'm Naomi.
Irene-: Can we be friends?
Naomi-: Sure, why not.
Irene-:(smiling ), thanks.
Bell rings, (tring...tring...…tring).
