Chapter 10: Mr Secretive

I open the door to see a well-dressed Dave at the door. "What are you doing here?" I frown at him. "See, Dan, I'm sorry for causing you to worry. Believe when I say it wasn't my fault, circumstances beyond my control held me. ay sorry I didn't try contacting you." He pleads. "What circumstance?" I raise a brow at him "I can't tell you, although I want to, but I can', I promised not to tell." "Who did you promise? And what is so big that it should be kept a secret? Well, if you can't tell me, then don't bother to contact me." I shut the door in his face, but not before seeing the hurt look on his face. He can fake hurt all he wants, I just don't care. Not at all. He has some guts coming to tell me how sorry he was without telling me the reason for his disappearance. "Darling, who was that?" Mom asks. "No one important," I answer as I walk to my room to wear my uniform. Wait a moment, Dave saw me with only my robes on! I face palm, am officially ruined. I ask my mom to take me to school to avoid any unnecessary confrontation with Mr secretive. I know I am acting like a spoiled girlfriend, but I don't care as long as he acts like a secretive dude. "Honey, are you sure you are okay?" Mom asks for the third time since this morning. She looks worried as she gives me a one-over over "You know I won't mind spending the day with you if that's what you want." She says so with all seriousness. Mom isn't your typical You must go to school or face execution." Type of parent, and I love her the more for it. "Mo, I'mam fine, you don't have to worry about me, and you know it won't look good on my resume if I start skipping school this early." My mum sighs in defeat. "All right, dear, if you say so." "Am okay. You need not worry about me." I pecked her on the cheeks before I exited the car. "Take care, son, I love you!" She shouted, earning glances from students scurrying into the school compound. Kill me and let me die. I almost died of embarrassment right then instant there. "Ok, I get it. I know you love me and I love you too, but you don't need to announce it to the whole human population!" I whisper-yell at her, and she just chuckles in answer before driving off. "There you are!!" Jane hugged me from behind " I thought you were avoiding me," she pouts. "Oh no,o oh I looked flabbergasted, " how can I avoid the only sun in my world?" I roll my eyes at her. "You humor me, darling, with your sweet words. I must confess your words just made my day." With that said, she links her arm with mine and drags me off to the assembly grounds as the bell goes off. My first class for the day is French. You need to note my horror when Miss Spoilsport*yeah, that's my secret name for Jane* sashayed her way into the class with me in tow. "Oh, are you surprised? Well, unfortunately for you, the universe is against you. Darlin,g I hate to break this to you, you are stuck with me for like….. Let me think…..…forever!. So get used to it," she winks as she sits on a chair near the window, having no option at all. I sit next to her. The door opened as more students streamed into the class. I wasn't surprised to see David, as he has the same classes as I do. His eyes scanned the room looking for someone, and when they lit on me, he smiled shyly as he started walking towards me. I frown, averting my gaze from him. He walked past me and sat on the chair at my back, which, if you ask me, is not really what I thought he would do. "Bonjour mademoiselle" The Class chorused when the teacher majestically strolled in. "Bonjour" comes her single reply. She wrote the topic on the board and droned on about only God knows what in a language I barely understand. I know what you are probably thinking. Yes, I signed in for the class, no, I wasn't forced. I just took the class as my dad is from France * that's what my mother told me* and I thought taking the class would make me feel closer to my dad, and should I tell you something? It didn't bring me closer to him; I'm instant, it made me frustrated with the language. I would have dropped the class, but I saw the hopeful look on my mom's face when I mentioned taking the subject in the first place, and that's why I'm still stuck in this hellhole of a class. Although I don't pay attention in class, I still get an A in the class, which is quite unbelievable if I am to say. "Hey" David nudged m,e and instead of turning, I blatantly avoided as the saying goes, "it's the devil and he will flee* pretending I'm listening to the droning teacher. "Hey Danny" Nice try, mister, nice try. "Danny, I just want to talk to you, okay?" I huffed, still not turning to look at him. I know I am acting childish, I don't care, really, I couldn't care less about it. "Ok, I get it that you are angry, but isn't it a bit childish acting like that? I have already apologized." He says in an angry tone. I fist my palm. How dare he call me childish? I turn to give him a piece of my mind. Jane, seeing how uncomfortable he is making me beat me to it She turn and gives him a look that can make any feeble man piss his pant but it doesn't seem to have any effect on him. he seems …amused? Well, I'm not sure, as I can't read a person's feelings on their faces as I would have loved to. Most novels I read talked about people reading others emotion just by looking at their eyes only, but I can't for the life of me pull that shit off. "I'm trying to pay attention here, as you can see, and I will love it if you shut the hell up and listen." Jane glares at him. I smile fondly at her. I swear she gets on my nerves, but a boy can't ask for a more spoilsport than her. David listened to her and didn't disturb me till the bell signaling the end of the class rang. I quickly packed my books as I dashed towards my next class with Jane hot on my heels. "Oh, holy Angels! Dann, you slow down, you are walking like someone hell has been unleashed on." I don't pay her any heed as I enter the biology lab. This time, I made sure to take the seat at the extreme, leaving the only seat near me the one Jane was currently occupying; as such, there is no way for him to sit anywhere closer to me. "Danny, you have been acting weird since that new boy stepped into the class. What's wrong?" I blatantly ignore her as I start arranging my biology practical book. As expected, when Mr disturbed, R.A.R.A.K.A. retivee came into the class, and started walking towards me. I smirked as he neared me and saw there wasn't any empty seat near me except the one Jane was currently occupying. He sighs loudly as he takes a seat near Jane, earning him a deadly glare from her. It's funny how confident she is now when she was shivering on the day I saved her. The Jane I saw that day and the Jane of today are two different people. I wouldn't have agreed they are the same if I didn't know firsthand.
