The girls were very beautiful and the guys were good looking but I noticed only one stood out which I later learnt his name to be Delvin when one girl called his attention to whatever they were discussing.
I looked round the class and I noticed one of the girls was crowded by group of students laughing and discussing, I could overheard her telling them about her holiday at abroad, how her dad bought her a gold wristwatch as her birthday gift blahh… blahhh… blahh.
I noticed how saucy and flashy she was, no doubt her parents are rich.
I rolled my eyes and looked elsewhere.
‘One hour later::::
“Good morning class!” A tall dark male teacher greeted walking into the class majestically.
Everyone quickly rushed and stand on their seats acknowledging his presence.
“Good morning sir”, we all chorused, sitting down.
“How was your holiday?” He asked with a bright smile.
“For those of you that doesn’t know me and probably had not seen me, I’m Mr Amos by name and I know there are new students who recently joined us” he smiled as his eyes raked every corner of the classroom.
Everywhere was deafening silent if a pin drop we all could hear the sound.
“If you’re new can you kindly stand up, and introduce yourself to the class please” his eyes scanned the whole classroom again.
“What?” I started shaking in my seat, beads of sweat formed on my forehead, the thought of standing in front of the class almost made me wish I should just die.
“Oh! No! Mr Amos or whatever you call yourself don’t do this, it is too early” i screamed in my head as I bent my head looking at my fingernails.
“Why would he want anyone to notice me? I was okay with the way things were going until this nosy teacher walked in, can’t we just have our lectures and everybody continue minding their business” I closed my eyes, trying to keep my cool, trying to control my wild heart beat, I could feel the sweat dripping down my back, my hands were trembling.
I started counting the students, we were close to twenty five. How can I stand in front of twenty five students with each having two pairs of eyes all in the name of introducing myself as a new student? I massaged my forehead, trying to ease the growing headache I was having that moment.
I just want to be invisible, attend class and go home I whined silently as I looked up seeing the teacher’s eyes on me, I slowly stood up and all eyes turned to me.
“Can I die now please?” I almost groaned.
