You aren't paying attention in class. Haven't you?" She questioned sarcastically.
"No, Mrs Oliver" I shook my head. "I always pay attention in your class. Always".
"That's good to hear" she grinned.
No way! That smile looks evil. she's up to something bad. Very bad. I could feel my scalp go numb."So explain to everyone what I have been teaching during this lesson".
'Shit!' How am I to know?
Damn this woman!
Do you have to make life difficult for me?
I have been a good girl. A really good girl, Infact I never did anything bad. Well apart from taking the chocolate's and cookie's mum hid in the cabinet without permission- which are extremely tasty. Those doesn't count, right. The main point is that I am extremely adorable - literally - but this woman is immune to my cuteness. She's evil I tell you. EVIL!!!
Why did my mind suddenly go blank? Why now of all times. I have to think of something to save me from this evil woman. MIND REACTIVATE (one of my superpower. Shh, don't tell anyone).
"Umm.... You taught us how to add and subtract." I uttered the first thing that popped in my head. I'm such a genius.
"ADD? SUBTRACT?" Mrs Oliver banged the table top with a big book that looked way bigger than an encyclopedia. She had a confused expression. Wait a minute....
How did she carry it?
I could see her eyebrows twitching. I swallowed hard. "Does this look like a mathematics class? Miss Miller did you even pay attention?" She eyed me.
I nodded.
She shook her head helplessly.
"I don't think so. What class is this?" She asked.
I looked at her confused.
"English class?"
"What is addition and subtraction looking for in an English subtopic?"
I still had a confused expression. Isn't it all the same.
She glared at me. "There is no longer room for discussion, you are going to attend extra lessons".
What?! I gasped. It felt like I had aged 100 years more - I still look gorgeous though.
This isn't fair. As if one class wasn't enough, she's had to add other one. How does she want me survive? She's really out to get me. I tried to cry but the tears wouldn't come out. This will kill me - I mean it (I'm a goner).
We've already discussed this and she agreed then why is she going back on her word (she's not truthful). How am I supposed get out of this now? I did my best puppy eyes one that could melt someone heart in an instant, but guess what? She ignored me. She really ignored me, I'm going to say this again and again THIS WOMAN IS EVIL!!!
"Sit down" she turned back to the board.
I sat down with an expressionless face but deep down i was freaking out. I felt like pulling my hair that's how much I don't like to study.
I looked heaven ward.
Dear God, how are you doing today? It's been such a long time. I know you are doing well. Hope you aren't mad at me for not talking to you sooner, truth is I've been a naughty girl and haven't given to the poor or paid my dues. I promise I have been saving it to give to those in need in future - I really mean it (i cross my heart). Can you forgive me this once I promise to do my best next time. Ahm.... The main reason why I'm talking to you is that I have a tiny request - very very small. Can you save from the evil clutches of Mrs Oliver. Defeat her evilness with your mighty power. Brainwash her till the point that she doesn't know who I am and doesn't give me anything called school work. Thank you for answering me.
"NATASHA OWEN" Mrs Oliver called.
"Yes ma'am" a soft silvery voice answered.
A girl stood up with an indifferent look on her face, like a cold beauty. Her posture, hair, height, academics everything about her was perfect. She's the kind of girl parents would want their children to befriend. She may look aloof and distant but she isn't a bad person, that I can bet the money in my piggy bank. She's is the english class representative.
Sometimes it makes me wonder, how she survives with Mrs Oliver. If it were me, I would have lost all my precious hair. Well, thumbs up to her for doing something I couldn't.
"Pass the box around" Mrs Oliver gave her a transparent box containing pieces of papers. "You are all meant to pick one piece of paper which will contain the topic of your school project. It is going to be half of general score.
Really?
I really want to kill this woman. I can't believe it, she's mean. I felt like banging my head on the table. Gosh! I almost lost it. Deep breaths, deep breaths.
Everyone was mumbling.
"Just half?" Ashley grumbled unhappily as she frowned.
"Isn't it good enough, hmm... Coming from Mrs Oliver" I replied flatly as i massage between my eyebrows. Would this woman ever give scores for free. NEVER!!
"Not at all. Is it going to cost her anything to make it the total general score. Instead of all those godforsaken test she make us take" her voice cold with anger. I could feel her radiating a murderous aura. She looks so cute when she's like this.
I smiled.
"You know she won't give more than that" I said in a matter-of-fact.
"She's a score mincer, can't she let go of one score. Deep down I wonder why she isn't a maths teacher, she really knows how to calculate everything" Ashley huffed puffing her cheeks. I pinched her cheeks as well, she eyed me with those sparkling eyes.
"Are you even listening?" She asked while blinking at me.
I nodded as I smiled. "You look so cute when angry" I teased her.
She blushed. I had to suppress my giggling before that woman turn back to me.
"It's your turn Alex" A sweet voice said.
I picked a piece of paper from the box, Ashley did same.
"Good luck guys" Natasha said with a genuine dimpled smile.
"Thanks. We really need it" I smiled back.
"More than ever" Ashley said with a puffy face.
"Tell me about it" I added.
"Let's meet up after class" Natasha said as she walked away. Like a gentle breeze.
"I wish I could burn this paper with my eyes" Ashley bared her teeth as she looked at the piece of paper on the table.
I shook my head helplessly. "Easy girl. You going to scare everyone with this aura of yours".
"Like I care"
I gasped. "So, you don't care about me" wiping my fake tears.
Ashley rolled her eyes. "You should really think about being an actress. It's in your blood"
"Really?" I gave a dimpled grin. "I know, you don't have to tell me. I'm perfect for acting" I said as I raised my eyebrows.
"You are such a narcissist" Ashley scoffed.
"You love me either way" I pinched her cheeks.
"Sadly" she grumbled.
The bell rang (save by the bell).
"Before you all leave make sure you all look at your paper and register your topic with the subject representative. Start working on it, it's due till the end of the term" Mrs Oliver said as she looked at us.
Creepy.
Everyone grumbled.
Doesn't this woman take a break. Work. Work. Work that's all she knows how to do. Maybe she wants to turns into a lifeless robot. I knew it.
"Ashley and Alexia see me in the office" Mrs Oliver added before she left the classroom.
Ugh!!!! Why? Why? What have I done wrong.
Ashley rolled her eyes.
"I don't like this woman" I said mumbling indifferently. My moist eyes gave me away.
"You don't like her as much I as do" Ashley replied. "I get it now" she said as placed her finger on her chin.
"What did you get?" I asked confused.
"I finally understand why she treats us this way" she stared at me as though she just solved the biggest mystery of all time.
"Why?" I still didn't understand.
"She's...... Nevermind"
