Must Read: My Teenage Mind (18+)

How wrong was I? He came into the class that afternoon in the pretence of giving us tutorials on the upcoming mock exam. I refused to look at him,I starred squarely at his hands instead.

I was already familiar with the topic so I just kept singing in my mind(anything that will just stop me from looking at his face). The boring hours of frustration ended one hour later.

We greeted him and he stopped at the door.

Kelvin: I asked someone to see me in the office this afternoon. I better not get there before her.

The class all turned to my direction. I locked my locker and followed the trail he left behind.

We both got to the staffroom together and I waited for him to open the door. He walked in and I decided that the meeting was going to be a professional discussion.

Me: Excuse me sir,please may I come in?

Kelvin; Yes baby.
Come in.

I nodded in sarcasm and walked in. I stood directly opposite him

Kelvin; Sit down

Me: Thank you sir.

Kelvin; Let me start by apologising for the caning. I shouldn’t have. You’re one of my bright students and I wasn’t even supposed to ask you to do the corrections all by yourself. I just wanted to give you the supposed attention so you won’t be distracted by our relationship.

Me: Its okay Sir. You shouldn’t apologise to me. I’m your student and I have no right to get angry whenever I’m caned by a teacher.

Kelvin: Come on stop being professional here. You’re not just my student,you’re my girl.

Me: I’m your student sir. Whatever that comes after that shouldn’t be and. . . . . .

Kelvin; Wait. Is it what I’m thinking?

Me: I don’t know what you’re thinking Sir. All I’m saying is that I want to be treated like every other student. I don’t want the preferential treatment or a mean one either. I want to be able to look up during your lessons. I wa. . . . .

Kelvin; Sshh!!!!!!!

He stood up,walked to the door and bolted it.

He came back and sat on top of the table very close to me.

Kelvin; I’m sorry. I’m truly sorry.

He held my shoulders lovingly

Kelvin; I’ll never hurt you again. I promise you that. You don’t understand how much I love you. Forgive my shortcomings please.

For the first time that afternoon,I looked at him.

He was so emotional but I decided to maintain my stand.

Me: How long will it last? You just want me for the period that I’m here. You’ll get married to someone of your age bracket. So its not important to try to convince me please.

Kelvin; What are you saying? I’ll wait for you. You should understand that I can’t hurt you on purpose. We had to put on an act so those girls won’t suspect anything. We. . .

The bell rang out signalling end of prep. I stood up and straightened my gown;

Me: Forgive me sir. I can’t continue with this. I’m sorry.

I walked out without letting him say another word.

We wrote mock successfully before the mid term break. The ss3 girls didn’t go home for the break because waec started immediately.

After the mid term break, Kelvin dropped his resignation later. I was hurt but I just had to accept it. We wrote waec and before the end of the term,we finished and were asked to go home,to come back third term for neco.
