"Magdalene! what are you looking at?"
"Sir sir sir... I was jus..."
"Will you shut up your mouth my friend! I'm teaching and you are busy looking at David. Oh, you want him to marry you isn't it?"
"Ah, no o, me? Is not what you think sir. I was just staring through the window."
"Ahhahaha..." The entire class broke into serious laughter.
I was embarrassed base on what was happening on my account so I looked away and smiled.
"You want to distract David from his studies you this girl. I'm teaching and you are lusting after him. Tommorow you carry pregnancy, you will be blaming somebody. You people should better be cautious and pay absolute attention when teaching is going on. Have I made myself clear?"
"Yes Mr Johnson" The entire class responded.
Mr Johnson was our maths teacher. During his lesson, Magdalene was busy staring at me and trying to make eye contact until she got carried away.
I didn't know this was going on until my seat mate pulled my shirt and pointed to me.
When Mr Johnson turned and noticed what she was doing, he picked his cane and started heading to her seat.
it was until he stood by her and shouted her name that Magdalene regained consciousness.
"David and Magdalene!" He called as he dropped the marker.
"Yes sir!" We both answered staring at each other, knowing fully well that the issue wasn't over with him yet.
"Both of you should see me in the staff room immediately." He commanded and stormed out of the classroom.
I stood up sluggishly and tightened my belt neatly. Without a second look at Magdalene, I followed behind Mr Johnson and soon was standing before him.
"Where is Magdalene?" he asked
"She is on her way sir." I answered.
Soon she too arrived and both of us stood before Mr Johnson awaiting judgement.
"David! Magdalene! I want the both of you to answer my question sincerely without mimicking words. do you understand?"
"Yes sir!" We answered.
"Now you two should tell me, starting with you David. What is going on between the two of you?"
"Nothing sir! Absolutely nothing I can assure you."
"Hmmm, you Magdalene." he demanded
"Same sir" Magdalene said.
"What is same. Open your mouth and speak to me my friend!" Mr Johnson yelled.
"I mean there is nothing ongoing between the two of us except for academic purpose."Magdalene said.
"Is it today that you have been lying? You better be serious. Do you hear me?"
"Yes sir!" She answered.
"Now go back to your class! You David come closer." He instructed. Magdalene moved out shylishly and I moved close to him.
"David! you know you have a very bright future?"
"Yes sir?" I responded.
"I'm not accusing you of anything because I know you are innocent, but you must be careful not to pay attention to any of these girls trying to distract you. It is normal for them to be all-over you considering that you are handsome and intelligent. It is now up to you to decide whether to yield to them or stay off their agitations. I hope you understand what I'm saying?"
"Yes sir!" I nodded my head
"Mr Johnson I'm really grateful for your care and concern towards me. I will never take it for granted sir. I'm really grateful for all you are doing for me. I promise not to disappoint you in any way sir, but to be the light of this school and the society at large." I appreciated.
"That's beautiful! You know, I'm naturally drawn to students who are intelligent and smart, you are blessed to be one of them. You can now return back to your class."
I thanked him and walked out of his presence, greeted other staff and moved back into my class.
During the long break, every other student had gone out to play. I was left in the class trying to solve a maths equation ahead of the topic Mr Johnson was going to teach us the next day. Aside that, I had a topic to read in Biology before the session which was to begin immediately after the break.
I didn't know that Magdalene was also in the class seeking for privacy to speak with me.
"David! Sorry for distracting." She approached me and greeted twisting her fingers.
"Magdalene! are you not going out for break, at least to get something to eat." I asked looking into her face.
"I have been waiting for you or aren't you going out?" She asked assimilating herself to a seat.
"You know I don't go out for break often. I have some studies to do."
"Can I join you if you don't mind?" she asked
"Yes, but what I'm studying is knew. it may be difficult for you to understand since Mr Johnson hasn't teach it. Maybe we should revise previous exercises right." I asked and she nodded her head.
I started putting her through but she wasn't paying attention so I asked her what was the problem.
"David I'm sorry but I can't help myself. I love you. I can't stop thinking about you, please make me your girlfriend. I'm ready to do anything you want me to do for you."
"Come on Magdalene. We are just teenagers. We shouldn't be talking about this."
"But we have feelings too." She said widening her legs and exposing her thighs as much as possible.
This was happening right in the class and I was afraid it may be obvious I was having an affair with Magdalene.
I looked at her thighs trying to ignore but she was just irresistible.
"David I love you. There are so many boys here in school and home who want me to be their girlfriend but I have turned them down. I want my body to be wholly yours, please say yes." She pleaded - by then her inner was also staring into my face and begging for my attention.
Heat ran through my body and mind. I knew this wasn't right but the other part of me wanted it as well.
Should I say yes or no?
The vision started referring back and beckoning on me; "David! break the seal."
"But this seal is too strong for me. Let me find out what is in it first." I battled within my soul.
"Alright Magdalene, it's fine. I will take you as my girlfriend, but please don't make this obvious."
"I promise." She said happily, pecked me by the cheek and ran out, to where and for why, I couldn't tell.
"Mmm," I sighed and burried my head "Why am I doing this? for what reason and benefit?" I asked myself.
"Well, I am intelligent, smart and handsome. I don't think it's a bad idea to have a beautiful girlfriend." I consoled myself.
The image of what Magdalene had shown me of her body would keep hunting and engineering my appetite for the opposite sex.
I knew I had failed at some point in the battle but I was helpless.
After school while going home, Magdalene sneaked and stuck a letter into my bag.
The letter was so romantic that I felt loved and ontop of the world. With more of my feelings becoming awakened. I closed my eyes to have what I would call my first relationship.
