Episode 4

Noah's Pov;

it's been over three days now since my encounter with Master khaid, and I was still yet to come up with something

dad has become so suspicious of my behaviour - I knew this through his constant questions, glances and checking up on me in my room

even when he doesn't come home on time; he still would find time to come before going to his room to freshen up

I think the work In the company is much because he always come back late and leaves early, and most of the time he's on phone calls

I didn't want to bother him with mine. I thought of ways to handle the situation.

I thought of what to do. the past three days has been hell for me - I always watch my back

there was no one I could talk to. no one I could trust

"hey handsome" a voice said behind me and I turned to see....

what's her name again?

yeah! bianca. she was standing behind me smiling seductively at me

I shot her a stare and turned to my book. the teacher was yet to come and I wondered what was delaying him

this class was suffocating the life out of me, and I needed to get away from here as fast t as I can

despite ignoring her, the mini witch refused to leave

she continue pestering me

" come on, Noah! aren't you gonna talk to me or offer me a seat at least" she pressed on

I frowned my face to show my displeasure but she wouldn't go away

" what do you want?" I grumbled

her face lit up immediately

" woah! this is the first time am hearing your voice at a close range; and it's so so cute - it's always when you want to answer a question in class that I do hear you talk" she shrieked, making me wonder what was so special about my voice

well; I guess y'all might be wondering why I know her name despite not talking to her

well... Bianca is like the female version of me in school

she's popular, beautiful and also smart, but super proud and full of herself and I detaste such girls

" can I sit with you?" she asked again

oh, God! where the hell is this teacher?

I don't know how to get rid of this witch. the students in class already had their gaze on us. some whispered something's to themselves, while some that were just coming to class threw glances at us

how do I get rid of her for goodness sake?

she didn't wait for my reply before she forced her self on my seat, sitting very close

" woahhhh!!!" she exclaimed after glancing at my journal.

" that's so beautiful" she said referring to the drawing of a young girl I was yet to complete

I closed it immediately and kept it in my bag

" can I see please?" she clasped her palm together, pouting her lips

what the...? does she really think that's gonna work on me

I have alot of things to deal with already and I don't want this girl right beside me to be one of them

" I've been to your gallery so many times and I've always admired your drawing" she said and made to touch me but I quickly shifted my arm and glared at her

she gulped, and took her eyes to the floor

" just stay away from me" I told her a little harshly

" but....I can't" she said

" I..."

"I'm late guys. so sorry about that" Mrs Philo our maths teacher said walking Into the classroom

she placed her notebooks and textbooks on her desk and went to the board immediately

Bianca glanced up at me before getting up to go to her seat

I heaved deeply as soon as she left

dont know what her problem is.

the maths class was interesting and fun as always

mrs philo was my best teacher. her teaching skills were incredible. even students that hated mathematics always looked forward to her class

I was sad when the class suddenly came to an end.i wish she could teach forever

the next class, was history and it was being taught by Mr Williams - a very tall and slim man

most people hated his class. it was always boring and lots of students sees this as time to sleep and relax before the next teacher comes in; and as usual, he walked in immediately Mrs Philo exited the class

I could hear murmuring from the students

" good morning class" he greeted turning to the board

I brought out my note immediately

not that I liked the subjects anyways - but I've never slept in his class - whenever I decide to attend it

he started teaching immediately and just like I said most students heads were down on their desks

he didn't even make any attempt to wake them up

I thought history class was supposed to be one of the most interesting and fun class ever - but in this case, it was vice versa

I could see the happy smiles on my classmates faces when the bell rang

" finally" some mumbled

we'll have two more class before break and I wasnt gonna stay for them; so I picked up my items, placed them in my bag and walked out of the class

bianca's pov;

I watched him as he walked out of class - as usual

Sally and Nora, my two friends came to sit by my side

" what happened girlfriend? did you get to talk to him?" Sally asked

I sighed sadly and chewed on my pen

" talk to us friend!" Nora whined

my silence was killing them

" he's same as always" I muttered earning an ' oh' from the both of them

" well..we told you it's not gonna be easy. that guy is a complete weirdo" Nora said

" yeah. he's been in this school for two terms now and he hasn't spoken to anyone. he doesn't even have a friend" Sally said gesticulating

" I wonder what kind of a guy he is. some guys that aren't even as handsome as he is are using theirs to get different gi torls on their bed" Nora added and I huffed

" that's the more reason i must get him. he's not just any guy - he's different" I said smirking

" and how do you plan on achieving that?" Sally asked staring at me curiously

" just wait and see. watch how I perform magic" I boasted smiling

they stared at themselves and smiled also

Noah! you think you can run away from me; but guess what - you cant

I thought inwardly.

the school environment was usually very quiet at this time of this day

I walked to the tree to relax; plus, I had to finish up the drawing before that weekend

I've delayed it long enough. it's supposed to have been in the gallery

I sat on my usual spot and was about to bring out my journal when my phone started ringing

I checked the caller to see it was dad

hold on! why's he calling?

thought he was at work. how come he had the time to call me?

I picked it up and placed it on loud speaker dropping it on the floor as I continued with my drawing

" hey dad" I cooed

" Noah. what the hell have you gotten yourself into again?" he fired at me. I was taken aback by his outburst

" what...what are you talking about?" I asked, keeping the pen and journal aside

" get your ass down to my office right now" he roared and ended the call

oh no! what happened?

I wonder why dad is so furious with me

wait a minute; is it possible he already knows?

no, no, no.he can't possibly be aware of that

who's gonna tell him about it? master khaid would never do that

or is it Brian?

many thoughts ran through my mind as I hurried to my car

I almost got into an accident on my way to dad's company

I arrived there in time, all thanks to the speed I had used to drive there

I walked briskly into the company, avoiding as many eye contacts as possible

I didn't even bother to go to the receptionist desk as I hurried to dad's office

there, I found him seated on his chair with a file in his hand,which he dropped as soon as he saw me come in

he kept it on the desk and stood up, then started taking heavy steps to where I was Standing

he got to where I was and did the unthinkable

A sharp and painful slap came landing on my left cheek - and that left me astonished as my eyes bulged out in shock. my mouth agasped

" dad" I managed to whisper,trying hard to hold back my tears

he didn't respond to me as he walked back to his table, picked up the file he was holding before I came in

he walked back to me and threw it to my feet

with my hand to my left cheek, I bent slowly - picking it up
