Searching for Love, Found Wealth

Chapter Twenty – Take notes, Cara.



Also he was new, she would give a bad first impression. Not that I cared for her reputation but what if the teacher hates our class because of her. She should keep her attitude to herself.

“You are late. Why did you barge into the classroom without asking permission?” he continued.

Cara scoffed before answering “Cause it’s my classroom”. The teacher was surprised at her answer. “Excuse me?”.

Cara went ahead to walk to her seat and balanced there. She was really meaning to be shitty to the teacher.

The man went on with his lectures. I was honestly disappointed that he let it go like that. But more was in store.

“Who can tell me properties of indecent dressings?” he turned to us. I didn’t catch his point and thought hard on how “Drugs abuse” related to “Indecent dressings”.

“Well, anyone?” he asked when the class turned to a graveyard. I caught immediately when I saw the teacher glaring at Cara.

Yeah, her skirt today was micro-ish. Her full butt would show if she bent a bit. Wasn’t the school supposed to have decency rules.

Almost, I would have stood up to answer the teacher’s question if not that Jasper’s friend got up instead. And he’s name was Reuben. “Wearing micro-skirts and revealing “chests” sir”.

Laughs spread all over the class. The teacher nodded, “Tell me consequences of such dressings?”.

Reuben was almost getting up again when Jasper pulled him down for the other friend, Jacobs to answer.

“By studies, one could be victim of rape leading to the “nine month assignment” sir” he answered sarcastically.

A thunderous laughter insured amongst the students. Even the teacher smiled, “Naughty boy, what’s your name?”

“Jacobs Smith, sir”

“Okay, ways to avoid the “nine month assignment”, Jacobs?”

Jacobs cleared his throat. “”By not dressing like…” he trailed.

“By cultivating good manners and dressing properly” he answered instead.

Obviously, the “dressing like..” would have been “Cara”. I wished he made a direct attack but then the teacher added “Take notes, Cara”.

Now that’s what I’m talking about. Her face went sour.

After our Civic class, which I really enjoyed, everyone began leaving the classroom like there was some party going on outside.

According to my timetable, we were to have Food and nutrition, no teacher in yet. Even Jennifer, who I thought was a serious student, ran outside with some other girl.

Sheena, (yeah her name was Sheena not Sheeva), quickly brought her drawing book and began sketching some things, she never gets tired.

I was lost with everything. Wasn’t someone supposed to call the teacher if the teacher forgot. Joey was outside the class too.

I saw Jasper and his friends studying some notes. I wanted to ask them about the teacher but felt too awkward too.

Some other new student went to them. They had told her that the teacher barely came to class sometimes but gave some classwork to do. He gave her a photocopy.

I turned immediately and began thinking of how I’ll go get a copy. Suddenly, the girl tapped me and dropped a copy on my desk.

“He said I should give you” she then pointed at Jasper. Jasper was looking down at his book when I turned back to him so Reuben yelled a “It’s a classwork, do it” and smiled.

I smiled back and turned away. Well, that was nice… and really awkward.

While answering my classwork, I noticed Cara walk into the class. She had been one of those who had left after our Civic class.

She stomped to Reuben and stood glaring at him. Jasper looked up to her in a frown.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I was sure she flinched a little. Who wouldn’t! Who could stand deep blue cold eyes peering angrily into your face!

“What was the meaning of that you did earlier?” she asked. I was expecting a fight now.

Reuben acted like she wasn’t even there. “Um, Jasper, hurry with your work, let’s go get ice cream” he said instead.

Cara gave a devilish smile and raised her hands to slap Reuben when Jasper slowly stood up, she stopped.

“Leave now” his voice was calm despite the rage glaring in his eyes. Did he hate Cara that much?

They weren’t much people in the class. Just four students. Everyone was watching, except two students.

Some sleeping girl and Sheena, too busy drawing that she doesn’t care if someone dies.

Cara matched his glare, hers wasn’t as scary anyway.

Okay, I didn’t really like Cara but with the way Jasper’s anger was growing, she’s going to be having broken bones soon. I loved watching fights but this one can just pass.

“Please, you guys can talk it out” the other new girl spoke.

“Yea, talk like friends” I said, of course to make effects. It’s obvious they weren’t friends.

Rueben sniffed, “Yeah, like friends” he repeated. Cara turned a glare to me.

Did she think I was being insulting. I was, but was it too obvious?

Jasper sat back, “Cara, don’t make a scene. Go away” he muttered.

Like really, the girl was still glaring at me. I turned away, of course not after smirking. I’d love us to be enemies though. It seems I can’t stop fate from making her a new Samantha.

“Just to keep my message simple. No one should mess with me” she warned and chicken walked out of the class.

She was a bore. Staring and glaring without even doing anything. Just an annoying, shitty girl. Should have let Jasper give it to her.

The class was quiet when she left. Our food and nutrition should not have missed this class.

I was lost in my classwork now, the class was more empty as the other students who had been working on their classwork were already done.

Someone threw a ball of paper on me. I picked it up. It had a note “Meet me outside. I have a surprise for you”. With a pencil drawn smiley face.

I checked around for the culprit. Everyone seemed immense in what they’re doing.
