Brit'sPov
I woke up early in the morning feeling like the world was on my shoulders but I had no choice so I wore my big girl pants on and did my morning routine before heading to school . It's been two days since I actually talked to my mother about anything . Everytime I try to talk to her it would end up in one huge argument making me cry and by the time I got to school I would head straight to the tap to drink water because I did not want anyone to see me in tears . My relationship with my mother is not the "mother daughter " relationship that every girl has .
My first lesson for the day was English,its my favourite subject probably because Mr Henson is very nice towards us and he's also the coolest teacher in the entire school. He's not the type that would crack jokes but he'd simply just let us talk and sometimes if he was tired of teaching we would watch movies which was pretty cool to us besides no one ever failed his class .
History lessons are also great but Mr Watcher creeps me out . He always assigns me to read out to the class or write notes for everyone on the chalkboard which is something I never really like doing . While I was busy reading out the notes to the entire class the alarm went off causing everyone to get up but Mr Watcher said " Nobody is going anywhere untill you all summarise what Miss Smith said and I will start with you,Liam." Looking at my watch I realised that I had to meet up with Melanie in the school park in less than 10minutes but Mr Watcher did not really care and that's when he got a call and told us to go have our lunch.
In less than a minute I managed to run to the park since Melanie had some juicy details to tell me and finally I sat on the bench with her and waited for her to say something but I realise that she's blushing so I instantly guessed that it must be someone making her blush.
Brit: I did not run here for you to blush at me so come out with it I'm listening .
Melanie: so there is this guy that I like and we are in the same Chemistry class together,I've seen you talk to him before and I would really appreciate it if you told him I said hi.
I immediately looked at her and started laughing then I stopped and I said "who is he ?"
Melanie: okay just don't laugh again. He's John .
John is the bad boy mostly because he somehow looks and acts like a gangster
Immediately my eyes left my socket and we both burst in laughter and I said "are you sure or your really trying to make me laugh?"
Then Melanie said" yes I'm very serious and I actually thought I could control myself around him ....."then I said cutting her short . oh so that shity excuse that you made about going to the bathroom was all a lie ? " my eyes furrow at her and she says "Yes ,I know its weired but please could you atleast do this for me" and she gave me those puppy eyes that I could resist and I said NO then she said again"Brit please just these once and if you agree I'll do anything that you want " then I said " Okay but I don't promise anything and if it goes well please get me some wings and fries " and I smiled.
Lunch was over and I had only one lesson to attend before heading home, Maths and during the entire lesson I was looking at the clock which seemed to be moving at a very slow pace and I ended up day dreaming about my future and how I did not want any kids but to adopt a child and how I want everything go on but while on that some dude that I've seen once entered our classroom and went straight to Miss Mary then after their mini chat he walked straight up to me drawing attention towards me and after that we both went out and neither one us said a word to each other which I thought was weired but I realised that he kept on looking at me which made me uncomfortable.
When we got to the computer room I saw Mr Watcher and some ladies along with a man facing away from the door and the guy I was with said " Mr Watcher, Brit is here "and as he was about to walk out Mr Watcher called him back . I was shocked that this guy knew my name and Mr Watcher said " I wanted to address you both that I won't be here for any of our lessons next week so Miss Smith everday before my history lesson I expect you to discuss with him" pointing at the guy "some of the notes I'll be leaving under your care and also write a few notes so that when I return I'll explain everything to all of you " then we both nodded and left .
While on my way to class I gained some confidence and told the guy that we should meet up after after school in the park and he agreed .Even though I still did not know his name he seemed pretty cool to talk to .
Immediately after school I went to John to discuss Melanie but before I could say anything Melanie came straight towards us and I left John there. "Please don't tell him it was me , I don't want him to know yet but do ask him if he's open to us being friends "Melanie said . Then I looked at her and said "ok." By then John had disappeared and I looked at my watch seeing I was supposed to be in the park 5 minutes ago I then quickly rushed to the park thinking of what to say to the poor guy. I found him sitting on a bench surrounded by a group of boys ,I think he's part of the squad . Before I could say anything to anyone they all looked at me and I confidently greeted them .
The group went and we started to discuss "the cold war." An hour had past and Melanie sent me a text . She wanted to know if she could leave me behind but I immediately told her to come pick me up in the park .
"Are we going home or should I wait?" Melanie asked while ignoring my "tutor"as I would now like to call him that since I don't know his name and I actually think it would be improper if I asked.
"I think we should continue again tomorrow if you don't mind "he said as he was getting up to leave .
Melanie and I left, we both lived far from each other's houses. She lived in the East and I lived in the west but still walked together after school .
Melanie:so who is the guy you discussing with I haven't seen him here before or anywhere
Brit:I really don't know, I was scared to ask him his name but he seems nice but shy .
Melanie:maybe he fell out of space and landed in our school.
Brit: like you said "maybe" and I think he's a senior by the way he's built . He also looks like a genius .
Melanie:I agree with you but how do geniuses look ?
Brit:like him .....you should be there tomorrow during our session and you'll be overwhelmed.
Melanie:baby girl tomorrow is Friday so by the time your being overwhelmed by a genius I'll be doing other things like watching Basketball .
I sometimes forget how much Melanie loves Basketball. She's always there for every game and I just tag along .
When I got home I went straight to my room and charged my phone. Then I start writing my maths homework and after 40minutes which actually felt like hours I start chatting with people random people on the internet and that's when my mother came in . "Why aren't you reading your books", she says . But I decide not to answer her because it will end up in one huge argument and she asked again and I put my phone down on the studying table and took a physical science notebook and she said " you should be reading instead of wasting your time on the internet " and left. I look at my phone and put it on airplane mode and I started reading.
I did not have dinner because I didn't feel like food so I just drank water and went to bed .
I woke up at 3AM and started to read. I'm not an A student but I refuse to be labelled a failure by my own mother so waking up at this time was like a routine to me and nobody knew about this and I was okay with . By the time it was 5 AM I was still up and I uploaded my status on WhatsApp and went back to sleep .
When I got to school I started walking with Rowland to class and MRS Harman greeted us or let me say she greeted Rowland because she would never greet me if I were alone. I hated her with every fibre I had. I'm really good at picking up energy and I knew she felt the same way about me . I also realised that she had bought a new car so today's topic would be about her since Melanie did not like her too . I'm also very glad that she was no longer my teacher because last year at the student parent meeting she told my mother that I'm always talking in her class with some girl that I never talk to no matter how bored I was.
Melanie and I always talked even at the assembly in the morning.
Friday is always the best day of the week and it always meant that Melanie and I would go window shopping after school but today Melanie had a basketball game to attend and I was supposed to meet my "tutor "in the park and there he was surrounded by the same group of boys. I always feel nervous when I come across a group of boys but just don't show it. We proceeded like normal and I still did not know his name. "You have a very beautiful smile "he said. I smiled and said "Thank you" then we started talking about life forgetting about history.
We talked as if we had met before and we connected with each other on a deeper level . We had similar likes and dislikes so I thought.
It was getting late and I realised that it was about to rain so I excused myself and called Melanie but she was was not picking up. I called her 5 times and still no answer then I turned to my "tutor" who was busy going through his phone .
I said,"I better go to the courts and look for Melanie so I guess I'll see you on Monday after school. "
" Is she the same girl who came to fetch you yesterday "he asked while looking at me and I said yes .
"Ok but do you mind if I came with you I could help you find her, I'm very good at remembering faces"he asked and I agreed.
We searched for Melanie through the entire basketball courts and all we found was her bag and that's when it started raining and it poured hard . Before I knew it my head was on his chest and he hugged me tight. I felt butterflies which I thought I would never feel infact I thought all the butterflies I felt for Vincent(my ex boyfriend)three years ago were all dead but it seems some of them are still alive.
After that "exclusive Bollywood movie" scene we found Melanie and I did not talk to her about what just happened on our way home with Melanie not because I did not trust her but I was trying to digest it.
"Did you notice that John was not at school today"she asked and I said"yeah I think you scared him off yesterday "and we both laughed.
Melanie and I always loved the smell of the earth after it rained.
I got home very happy and went straight to my room then fell flat on my bed looking at the ceiling while everything just played out right in front of my eyes. My mother then came in and interrupted my dreaming . "Look her young lady I expect to be with everyone else. This is my house and in my house and you'll be with every one else whether you like it or not"she said
While I got out of bed and started to walk to the lounge to be with everyone else.
While we were watching TV as a family all I could think of was what happened at school ,I could even smell his scent.
Before going to bed I decided to take a shower thinking it would wash away my thoughts . I knew this would be a long weekend.
I certainly hope it's not what I think it is
