Part Ten

Nick yawned as he rubbed his eyes. He did not get much sleep last night.

“You two have the nerve to sit over here and act like nothing happened yesterday? Truly shameless!”

Matthew was still a little upset at both of them leaving him here yesterday. Even when he left the classroom people still came up to him. It seems that someone took a picture of him and sent it around.

Who the heck has so many numbers on the first day?

While those two were out having fun, he was getting hammered with questions. There were so many weird ones too.

At first, he thought he would enjoy it, but he disliked it instead. Being in the limelight was not for him, and he would rather never enter it again. At least not now maybe when everything died down would he want to be in it once more.

“Quit crying; it’s not like it’s the end of the world. Even my baby brother doesn’t cry as much as you Matthew.”

Freya replied to him.

“Whatever! So, what clubs did you two join?”

“Eh, it was more of looking. We happened to go to look at some, but then we found a good show to watch instead. After that, we ate some dessert at a cafe. It was so good; you should come with us next time.”

Matthew had a strange grin spread across his face when he heard her words.

“So basically you two went on a date?”

Freya suddenly stopped playing with her phone and froze in place when she heard that. Indeed from what she said it did sound like a date.

“No!”

“Yes!”

Freya instantly said no, but Nick replied with a yes.

“What do you mean yes!? That was not a date; it was just two friends hanging out nothing more.”

“Two friends of the opposite gender hanging out all alone. Com’on there is no need to be shy about it.”

Matthew added his two cents into the mix.

Their voices were loud causing many of the students around them to look their way. It would seem that all the attention was now on them.

Matthew made an ok sign with his left hand and kept moving his right index finger in and out of the hole.

“C'mon, you two definitely did that right?”

Freya’s face turned red; she couldn’t take it anymore and threw her phone at his face.

Matthew dodged it causing the phone to hit the window. As he was gloating, he missed the other object that was being thrown his way.

Her shoe hit him directly in the face.

Matthew grabbed the shoe as it slid down his face.

“You threw a shoe at me! Didn’t your parents teach you any better?”

“They taught me exactly what I need to know.”

“You should be happy that anyone would go out with you. Chest as flat as fresh pavement.”

Nick couldn’t help but laugh at these two.

“What are you laughing at, this is all your fault!”

“That may be the case, but I'm not the one whose bickering like old lovers.”

“I’d never date him/her!” The two of them said in unison.

Both of them turned away from each other and humphed.

“Stop all the talking, take your seats.”

A voice called out as the classroom door opened up and Darius walked in. He took his place in the middle of the front of the class and looked at his students. From the looks on their faces, he knew they were ready to learn.

“Give me two assistants.”

There were at least fifteen students who raised their hands. They were eager to get up there and show off in front of their classmates.

Darius pointed at two of them, one male the other female. They made their way down to the center of the room where he was.
