Five minutes more.

I thought as I constantly checked my watch again and again. Five more minutes before school would be over for the day. I couldn't wait for after school lesson with Mr handsome but it was as if the clock just decided to test my patience. It was moving very slow...56... 57....58....59............60.

Four more minutes.

I was practically shaking on my seat. Chioma must have noticed my strange behavior because she kept asking me why I was so reckless.

"It's nothing" I stood up and began to walk back and forward.

Three more minutes Aagrh!

"It doesn't look like nothing"

"Yea! Well...live with it" I snapped. she raised her eye brows at me.

Then the bell rang which made my heart skip.

"Hey, the time keeper rang it two minutes early" John, a guy sitting at the back of me yelled to everyone.

"So how is that a problem?" I questioned him.

"Sorry mom" he teased. I shook my head and headed to the class door but I was stopped by Obinna, the half caste that thinks he is so handsome. He is also the leader of the stupid Gsboys whatever and the twin to Tasha, the mysterious girl that hates me. All these are Chioma's words not mine.

"Hey, it's been long since we spoken to each other" his deep voice echoed in my ear.

Have we ever spoken to each other before because I don't remember.

"Oh.... Yea" I lied

"So I was thinking if you would like to chat for awhile with us" he pointed to the usual spot most of our classmates like to stay after school and hang out before our Economics teacher chase them out with a stick. Sometimes, I think they just love hanging out there so that they would be chased home with a stick.

I personally do not like staying there. It was an empty class that was falling apart. From what I heard, that was their former classroom and they wrecked it. They were referred to as class of destruction. I gave him a 'I don't want to face' before I remembered I had somewhere to be.

"Sorry but I have an after school lesson to be at so I can't"

A flash of disappointment showed on his face.

"Oh... I guess another day then"

I waved to him then zoomed off but I was stopped again. It was as if nobody wants me to get to my destination.

"What do you want Chioma?"

"Rude!" she placed her hand on her chest.

"Sorry"

"What was Obinna telling you?"

"So that's the reason why you stopped me. Sorry but I have to be somewhere right now"

"Wait now...." That was all I heard before I zoomed off.

I arrived at the door to the computer lab, took a deep breathe and entered.

Nobody was there. The computer lab looked deserted although it was clean and tidy, but it still looked like no one had been there for ages. The desks were arranged in rows. Monitors and keyboards were set on each table. My eyes scanned the room. It dropped on someone who sat at a corner operating his phone. I couldn't see his face clearly because he was wearing a hoodie and was looking down at his phone screen.

Hoodies, my fav!

"Err.. Hello! Pls could you leave. I am suppose to have a lesson here"

He ignored me.

"Hello! I am asking nicely"

He ignored me.

Relax! Calm down! Just ask again.

"Hey, the lesson is with a teacher so you better leave"

He ignored me.

*evil me😈* kill him, nobody will know.

I took a book that had a hardcover. I touched it to make sure its hard enough, walked up to him and targeted his head.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you" he warned.

I was an inch away from hitting his head so I stopped.

"Oh! So that is what you pay attention to?"

He looked up at me. I was moved. He had thick black curly hair that fell to his face. His big black eyes were encircled with long lashes and lips were bright pink. His olive skin glowed and as he stared at me with his cute eyes, my knees wobbled.

He kept on staring at me and for what felt like forever there was silent.

"So you are not going to say anything" he finally said.

"Uh... Yes I am having a lesson here. Please leave" I stammered.

"No!"

"What? I said please"

"So?"

"Okay! Stay! When the teacher arrives, he will chase you out" I pointed out.

"And when my cousin comes, you will be the one chased out. You and your stupid teacher" he wiggled his phone at me.

"He is not stupid and what right does your own stupid cousin have to be able to chase me and my teacher out?" I placed my hands on my waist.

"What are you and a male teacher doing alone after school in a deserted place? Please tell me!" he gave me a questioning look.

"It's none of your business!" I snapped.

He chuckled.

"Okay! Oh, you are right. I shouldn't damage my ear"

"You are so disgusting!" I shrieked.

"Me? Says the girl that want to do something with a male teacher"

"It's just a math lesson, idiot" I yelled at him.

"I know, stupid" he yelled back.

His behavior was so familiar like somebody I know, I just can't put my finger on it ..... Oh, wait! ME! He was acting like me a little.

"Why did they allow such a brat into this school?"

"FYI! I am not schooling here, dummy" he sneered.

"You are the dummy. You know what! Why am I  wasting my life talking to you? The only thing I leant here is that some people are born perfectly while some people are just mistakes on their own" I growled as I walked away from him.

"Wow! So it was now your sense came back. I was wandering whether you were born without one"

"I blame your stupid cousin for inviting you here"

"While I blame your stupid teacher for wanting to spend time with his girlfriend" he rose to his feet.

"For the last time, we are not in a relationship" I yelled.

"Okay! I 'believe' you. I hope you heard the stress on the believe and for that stupid teacher...." I cut him.

"Your cousin is the stupid one"

"Who is stupid?" Charles asked as he walked into the room.

"Her teacher that is coming to teach her" the unknown guy belted.

"No! It is his cousin that brought him here" I hissed.

Stupid boy, he doesn't know that the teacher he is calling stupid is in front of him.

"Quiet!"  Charles commanded.

There was silent. Charles started laughing. He laughed for long. He even made me and the strange boy I will definitely kill one day to laugh with no reason. However, Charles finally stopped laughing.

"Wow! I have never been so insulted in my life. Well, Dylan! I am the so called stupid teacher and Susan, I am also the so called stupid cousin. Don't smile I am angry with the two of you" he scolded.

Dylan and I sent daggers to each other before sitting down for our lesson. It turned out Dylan was also having lesson too. Deep down, I blame myself a little for the fight because Charles told me he had a cousin he was teaching but it didn't cross my mind. Mainly, I blame Dylan for starting the whole stupid insult.

"Although I am angry with the both of you. I don't blame you two. I blame myself for wasting time in my office"

As if someone turned me and Dylan on, we both started saying the same thing together.

"No! It was her fault".

"No! It was his fault"

"No you are the one that started it"

"Stop saying what I am saying"

"No! you stop"

We both stopped and stared at each other. I can't imagine the thousands of bullet we were sending each other. It was so much I was starting to feel it.

"Alright cut that out before you hurt yourselves spiritually or would it be mentally?" Charles urged.

We both faced Charles.

"I would take you both English and maths. Maybe later, we can check out any other subjects"

"Charles why did you agree to teach this one" Dylan mouthed.

"Hey, this one has a name please or would you like me to punch it into your brain because that can be arranged" I raved.

He rolled his eyes.

"Calm down, Susan! Let use words instead of fist and Dylan she has a name so address her properly"

"What if I don't want to"

"Then I wouldn't answer your question"

I giggled.

Men, I feel on top of the world right now.

Dylan mumbled some words under his breath.

The lesson went fine after that. It later came to an end so I had to leave.

"You two wait here! Let me get my phone from my office.....just don't kill each other before I am back"

"We will not" Dylan answered.

"And you?" Charles said looking straight at me with his beautiful brown eyes.

"I don't know! This life is full of surprises but I wouldn't do anything"

Till he provokes me to kill🔪

"Okay, then" he headed out, leaving the cat and rat alone.

FYI! I am the cat while Dylan is the rat.

There was silent before I spoke. "Who is your favorite DC superhero?"

Mine is batman

"Hmm hard to say since they are so many but I think... batman, you?" he mentioned as he ran his hand through his curly beautiful hair.

We both narrowed our eyes at each other.

Okay! Awkward.

The only thing that can make me spare this guy is that beautiful curly hair he has. Unless... <evil laugh>

"Hey, can you read mind or something?" I inquired.

"No why?"

"Nothing"

"Okay and you, your favorite?" he demanded.

"The same here"

"Oh, I get it now"

Another narrowing of eyes moment. We stared into each other eyes.

"Wow, you have beautiful eyes like your cousin" I choked out.

"Awwn! Thanks, you too. It reminds me of someone I know" he replied. We both laughed awkwardly.

Another eyes narrowing moment.

"I am back and I am glad to see you two are still living" he teased.

"I hope you are happy being a fake teacher?" Dylan asked in annoyance.

Charles froze.

"What?" I gasped.

"Sorry! Slip of the tongue. I
..I...I meant to say substitute teacher" he stuttered.

"No that's not..." I said but Charles cut in.

"He has corrected his words. Let's forget it, okay?" he ordered

"But.." I reached out to say something but was interrupted.

"I want to go home" Dylan whined.

"Okay! Let's go" Charles declared as he hurried to the door. We left the building. My driver was waiting for me at the other side of the street. He spotted me and gave me a questioning look.

"What?" I said as I crossed the street to where the car was parked.

"I thought your school closed around four? It's six?" he questioned.

"Yeah! I had an after school lesson"

"Okay! Get in" I turned to the direction where Charles and Dylan where standing. Charles was opening his cardoor while Dylan stood operating that stupid phone of his.

"Bye Char... Mr Charles sir and uh...." I stopped there and stared at Dylan who still kept his eyes on his phone.

Nope not saying goodbye to him. Unless it is a permanent one.

"Goodbye" Charles answered when he successful opened his car. Then he hit Dylan to say goodbye too. He just shrugged and rolled his eyes.

I entered my car and I was off home.
