"Stop the chatter".The teacher said
"Today we have an experiment to carry out but first I will like you to grab the petri dish and examine what it contains".He explained
"A dot?".A girl who was among the maximus staring group guessed and what followed was laughter
"Why are they laughing ". Maximus muttered but Phil caught it
"she's the head of the other faction".Phil said, keeping his gaze on her
"Faction??". Maximus was confused
"oh you don't know,The class is basically --".Phil immediately closed his mouth as the teacher shot him a glare
"Phil".The teacher started
"could you enlighten the class on what your observation is ".He continued
"A drop of blood".He said absentmindedly
"Wrong".The teacher said glaring at Phil before cleverly directing his attention elsewhere
"what was that about?".Maximus asked as they waited for the remaining groups to finish their tasks
"He was correct but not specifically.Of course he could have said the specific answer but he decided not to ".Stuart explained spinning his pencil
"oh". Maximus simply responded .He glanced at Leyla,she was writing something on her notebook.It made him remember earlier this morning,her handwriting was beautiful and the fact she wanted to be the school prefect was admirable
"Okay time's up ".The teacher said
and at the same time the bell went off
"We'll continue this in our next class".The teacher said, bidding us goodbye
Maximus headed off to class, through out the class he just focused on Leyla.The streaks of hair coming down her face,her habit of playing with her thumbs . Everything about her was just fascinating
"Hey,aren't you coming".Stuart poked his head
"To where exactly?"
"It's P.E".Stuart said
"oh no,thank you ".He said,masking the disappointment in his tone
"ok,suit yourself".He wanted to go but the old man said no.His tattoos that was the reason,he would've to change and in the process they would all see his tattoos.He could just change somewhere else but the old man insisted
"paranoid old man".He sighed
"Is there something wrong".He heard a voice behind him,an angelic voice
Leyla
"Nothing".He said
"Oh ,you skipping gym?".she asked walking briskly to her desk
"Yes".He answered curtly
Leyla couldn't help feel a tinge of disappointment not cos of him not going to gym but the formal way he answered.It made him seem like they were punished
"Are you?".He asked.
"What?".She said gathering her thoughts
"Are you going for gym class"
"Yes and no".she said with a light chuckle curving her lips
"which is it.Yes or no".He smirked.That smirk was damn sexy,she could've sworn her heart skipped a beat
To him,it was an ordinary smirk but to her it was a spell to make her insides turn to jelly
"I just watch".she said, bottling up her emotions
"Oh.Any reasons?". Maximus asked, clearly interested
"Well".she started off with a sigh
"I'm not the best when it comes to sports".she said, dropping her notebook on her desk
