Paulo was in the but wasn't focused on the class as he was still thinking about Catherine, while not paying attention in the class his class teacher then started yelling at him and then he made him stand outside of the classroom for a whole period. Paulo didn't much affected by that and just did what his class teacher asked him to do, he went out of the class and stand right beside of the door but still he not getting over from Catherine.

After the period teacher allowed him to go inside and he went to his respective seat after that he decided that he will meet her in the recess and try to make understand and tell her everything about what happend last night. As the time goes on the Paulo was waiting for the recess to happen, still wasn't that much attentive in his class and looking at the clock of the class and whenever he see the clock he was praying to god that the recess to happen as soon as possible, every second passes he becomes even more restless. The last period before the recess is in the place right now the class is going on like it always do, the teacher explaining everything regarding the subject but for Paulo it was nothing less than a prison for him.

He was feeling so much tense, checking the clock every minute then try to focus what his teacher explaining but Paulo trying hard to listen carefully what the teacher is telling however he couldn't even catch them up as he was still waiting for class to get over. When he was looking at the clock his teacher saw him that he was not paying attention in the class, so he decided to take some action against him.

"Paulo." His teacher called his name for first time but he never listened to him.

"PAULO !" This time he shouted his name out loud and then suddenly Paulo diverted his attention from the and asked his teacher why he called his name.

"Can you repeat what I had explained to the recently ?" His teacher wanted show to his classmates that he is not paying attention into the class at all, since Paulo couldn't tell anything as he was not that much into the class his teacher then taunts him for his mistake.

"Mr. Romani do you even know that your final are right around the corner hmm ?" His teacher asked and Paulo replied by saying "Yes Sir I know."

"So studied everything that you don't even need to listen what I am telling you, right you are so intelligent that you don't even need to pay attention in my class ?" His teacher said

"No.. No sir you are taking it wrong." Paulo replied.

"Ok then take me to the right direction Mr. Romani."The teacher asked him correct him but Paulo was standing still as he got no answer for it this time.

"Mr. Romani do you know that you already failed in this subject which I am teaching in your previous exams and you have to give again in this upcoming exams, am I right ?" His teacher and Paulo simply said yes to it.

"Then why are you even focused at all in my class and why are looking at the clock, is there is something more important than this that you have to get it done ?" His teacher never stops taunting him while Paulo replied by saying no to it.

"Then please Paulo, please pay attention what I am explaining right now at least you will get some marks that would allow you to graduate and get a degree from this college and you don't even need to waste your and most specially my time, OK ?" His teacher made a well insult of him and after listening those harsh words from his teacher he simply shrugged his head up and down telling him that he understood what he said.

After that Paulo sitting down on his seat feeling pretty much embarrassed but still he forget what his teacher said to him and was waiting to period get over.
