Alessie dragged Lawrence out like he was some kind of sheep about to be slaughtered but he didn't say anything.
" speak "
she said watching him bite his lips. She was sure that if he bit the lips once more then it'll bleed but she cared less.
" About Cathy. Back there, I was just..... "
He said unable to find the right words to say. Alessie groaned angrily.
" why did you call me when you didn't even know what to say. Spill the beans Mister, I have to get to class.... And fast! "
" I was just .... never mind. "
Lawrence said putting his hand in his pocket as he turned to leave. Alessie immediately drew him back.
" Hey, you made me come out here and you plan to walk away, without saying a thing? "
she asked looking him right in the eye. He smirked as he moved closer, closing the distance between them until she could feel his breath on her nose.
" Yup, cause I'm a really annoying jerk "
He said reminding her of what she said
" well.... "
Alessie stammered not knowing what to say. She could have even moved back but no, her head refused to listen to her. She just stood there like an idiot.
" what are you two doing here? "
A familiar voice asked walking towards them. Alessie immediately pushed Lawrence away as she turned to Teacher Ethan
" we were.... "
" I bumped into him. I guess I really have to replace these shoes. ".
Alessie hurriedly said as she chuckled nervously as she pretended to fix her shoes. of course Teacher Ethan didn't buy it but he nodded and waved his hand motioning for them to go.
" hurry up to class "
He said and smiled. Alessie looked at him confused. He never smiled or so she thought. Maybe something good happened.
" I was just about to "
Lawrence said as he walked away.
" what a jerk! "
Alessie mumbled as she followed suit wanting to slap Lawrence's face. She didn't forget to look back at the teacher who was now whistling something like a love song. Maybe she was once again mistaken.
She entered the class and thankfully, Mrs Williams hadn't arrived. June immediately called her over.
" so, what did he say? "
she asked, curiosity getting the best of her. Alessie just pushed her away causing her glasses to fall off.
" Alessie... "
June said angrily but Kenzo picked it up and held it away
" give it back "
June said extending her hand
" seems to me you can see well without these "
He said looking at her. Alessie turned to them.
" Kenzo give those glasses back "
June said angrily. He smirked.
" fine. But I've gotta admit, you look beautiful without them "
He said winking at her as he dropped the glasses before turning back like nothing ever happened.
June face was as red as a tomato and Alessie decided to take revenge on her by annoying her
" seems you have a new admirer "
She said laughing. June immediately got out of her daze and turned to her angrily
" wow, but you shouldn't be laughing Alessie. Lover boy's right here "
June said pointing to Lawrence ahead of them.
" why you... "
Alessie said gritting her teeth
" Deep breaths Alessie. Deep breaths "
June said laughing. Mrs Williams walked in and the class kept quiet.
" not again! "
Kenzo groaned angrily causing the whole class to laugh.
" don't worry Kenzo. it's just thirty minutes "
She said laughing. Kenzo frowned his face
" more like thirty hours "
" oh common. Try to be nice. "
Lee said as he patted his back.
" Alright class, I'll be giving you a project which you'll submit a week before the tests "
She said distributing a book to them all.
" you are to pair with a person each. One of you will pair with me as you are..... "
" thirty five mam "
June said and she smiled.
" yes Winters. thanks for that. Anyway, we'll be having seventeen groups in total. You're all to think of a business idea and combine it all together. "
She said and stopped to look at them all.
" pair with each other now "
Immediately, the students paired with each other leaving Kenzo. Even Lee didn't pair with him.
" don't betray me man "
He said not wanting to get paired with Mrs Williams. She just smiled broadly at him like she knew it would happen.
" welcome Son "
she said
" I must be dreaming "
Kenzo said and ran his hand through his hair angrily. The teacher left and the class bustled with noise.
" Alessie, we're in this together "
June said happily
" yup. "
she replied smiling.
