Chapter Nine



We went to our next class which is Math, Reign and I have the same class. As we opened the door, there weren't any students yet, so that means we are early. Whoah, wait what? We are early?! For the fucking first time! Hahah... Wow. We seated and Reign sat beside the desk beside me. The teacher isn't here yet, so we can talk.




We kept on thinking a plan on how to deal with speeches but, none ideas showed up. "What now Reign?! I'm so dead! I can't beat pacifica!" I groaned and repeatedly hit my head on the desk on purpose.




"Oh! Angela, don't say that! You can still beat her, we just need to think!" Reign said but I ignore her and just kept on hitting my head on the desk. "We need someone to help you!" Reign said looking up and moving her lips on the right side while her right hand is in her head.




"Psshhh!" I sighed and continue hitting my head on the desk. "Someone who's smart, very smart!" Reign said and then she closed her eyes and I think she's trying to think of a person whose smart then suddenly, the door opened slowly.




Reign and I looked up and saw that it was Marcel, holding two books. "Hi!" I waved, "Oh, h-hi!" Marcel said with a shaky voice. "What are you doing?" I asked, "I'm just g-giving this back, I borrowed this book from our teacher." He said while putting the two books in our teacher's desk.




"Oh, okay! Bye!" I waved and he waved back then went to the door with his head on the ground. Before holding the door, he takes off his glasses and rubbed his eyes then put it back on and then went out.




"Wait, you two are close?" Reign asked, I looked at her, "Not really. We just talk to each other that's all". "Since when?" she asked, "Since the day I saved him from Pacifica!" I smiled. "Oh... Well I can't believe you are talking to nerds, I thought you hated nerds?!" Reign said raising an eyebrow.




"Oh, yeah I hate nerds except for Marcel, he is a really nice dude." I smiled. "Yeah, maybe he is nice and smart and I bet he can teach other students something like Math, or, or even speeches like you know what you are dealing with right now!" Reign sighed.




"Wait! He is smart!" Reign said pointing out one finger like she had an idea. "So what?" I asked. "Yes! He is smart and you two are close!" she said looking excited. "We are not close, we just talk!" I corrected. "Talk or close, it's all the same smarty pants!" Reign said and I rolled my eyes at her. "So what now?" I asked.




"Maybe, you can ask him to teach you how to make a speech! Since you two are close, I mean talking to each other,  you'll get along easily!" Reign said. "Psshhh, that's a terrible plan!" I said. "No! It's an awesome plan and we are going to ask him later after school!" Reign smirked.




"Ugh! That's not gonna work! I don't want some nerdy guy to teach me, it's bad luck!" I said. "Oh, come on! You said you hate nerds except for Marcel because he is nice. Just try and if it don't works I'll be your slave for 1 day! Deal?" she asked.


I smirked, I know it is not going to work so that means I have Reign as a slave for 1 day, which means she needs to do everything I command her. This is going to be good, "Deal!" I said shaking her hands she offered.




"Okay, remember, after class!" she said, "Fine!" I sighed.






~After Math Class~


 


 


I'm at the corridor getting books that I'll be needing for my next class at my locker. When I was done, I closed it. I heard someone called my name so I turned around seeing Steven waving at me. "Oh hi! Steven!" I smiled. "Hi!" he went near to me.




"So, how's it going?" he asked, "I'm fine," I smiled. "So, I heard you are nominated as class president? Sure is tough fighting with Pacifica." He said. "Oh no, Pacifica is just a piece of cake for me." I smiled.




"So, do you have your speech yet?" he asked. I need to lie on this one, because if I tell him no and tell him that I'm afraid of it, he might spread it and Pacifica might no and she'll notice that as my weakness.




"Yeah! I have! I think I am going to win because of it, I'm very confident about it!" I fake smiled. "Oh great! I hope you will win!" he said. "Anyway, I need to ask you something, this may sound weird but, d-do y-you... h-have a c-c-rush on anyone here at school?" he asked with a shaky voice.




Woah! It is weird.  Why is he asking? "Uhhmm... No! I don't have, why'd you asked?" I asked. "Nothing! Gotta go bye! See ya later!" he said, it's so fast and then he walks away like he is a wind. Is e nervous? Because that's what I do when I'm nervous. Hmmm... That's strange.




I continued making my way to my next class.






~After Class~


 


 


I'm going home! Yes! Finally, oh wait, Reign! I walk along the corridor seeing Reign closing her locker. I smiled at her and she smirked. "What's all about the smirky face?" I asked. "Oh, nothing!" she said. "Come on! I saw Marcel outside at the school sitting on a table beside a mango tree earlier." She said while walking, and just followed her.




I followed her outside the school and we saw Marcel reading a book. "Come on!" Reign whispered while grabbing both of my hands leading me to him. We are now behind Marcel. "Ask him!" Reign whispered. "Why me?" I whispered back.




"You're the one who needs a tutor!" she whispered. "But, y-you... you are the one who thought of this plan!" I whispered while smirking to her. "Go ask him!" I said while pushing her near at him. "No! WE need to ask him!" Reign whispered and she caught my arm.




She lead me infront of Marcel. Reign cough so we can get his attention. He looked up at us. "Hi!" Reign waved. "Oh, h-hello! He-llo A-Angela!" Marcel said, again his tone was still nervous and shaky. "Hi Marcel!" I smiled.




"Uhmm... Marcel so Angela is nominated for the school president and she probably need to prepare a speech, but the thing is, she doesn't know how and she is afraid of speeches!" Reign said while sitting with Marcel. "Oh, oh I see!" Marcel pushing his glasses up so it won't fall.




"So can you help her? You know if you have time and Angela can pay for it!" Reign said and my face got sour on the paying thing. "Uhh, ok, okay! I can t-teach her." Marcel looked up at me and I smiled. "Great! So what are the schedules?" Reign asked.




"I-I don't know, you c-can decide the d-days a-and t-time, but I a-am not a-available on m-Mondays," Marcel said.


"Angela so when? What time?" Reign asked looking up at me. "Maybe we'll start tomorrow since it's Tuesday tomorrow and 2:50 p.m at our house and Fridays maybe, same time at yours," I smiled.




"O-okay!" he nodded. "Thank you so much Marcel! We need to go now! Bye!" Reign said and then she grabbed my arms and we went home leaving him alone again.






I hope this doesn't work because if not, I have no slave for 1 day!




~The Next Day~




I just remembered, today is the day, the start of my tutor with Marcel! I'm kinda nervous because I've never had a tutor before. Today I am here at the corridor, we still have 5 minutes left before the bell will ring so I am just hanging out waiting for Reign.


I went on twitter on my phone and someone tweeted me. 


"I saw her today! Caught you! This is a perfect stolen shot of yours! Love you always!"


That's what it says and there's a pic. I looked at who tweeted and it was that guy, my secret admirer and as usual his profile pic was books with an apple. I scrolled down and saw me and I think the location is at the school ground, yeah! That's the basketball ring behind me, 30 steps away from me in the pic. Who is my secret admirer? Why on earth did I not see him there? 


Who is he anyway? And what does he look like? Suddenly a tap on my shoulder caught my attention. I look beside me and saw Steven standig.


"Oh, hi Steven!" I smiled. "Hi! Listen, sorry about yesterday!" he said. "Yesterday?" I asked trying to remember what happened. "You know I was in a rush so I didn't have time to say good bye to you in a proper way and about that thing I asked you." He said scratching the back of his head slowly. 


"Oh, that's fine! You can forget about that!" I said. "It's just because I have a crush on you?" he said more of a question, what? Is he asking me or is he telling me?
