Must Read: The New Girl

Daniel did not finish his statement before the lecturer entered the class.

Lecturer: Settle down everyone

Susan: You heard him, go get a sit (Smirking).

Daniel quietly walked away and went to the chair at the back of Susan’s which was already occupied by a girl.

“Hi, Erm please can i have…….”

“Don’t worry you can have the sit” the girl interjected and quickly stood up for him to sit.

Throughout the lecture, Daniel’s mind was not at rest as he was thinking about the new girl and who she might be. Daniel, still in deep thought didn’t know that the lecturer had be calling his name until a student tapped his shoulder.

“Hey Daniel, the lecturer is talking to you” a student tap Daniel shoulder as he came back from his thoughts to meet pairs of eyes staring at him.

“Mr. Daniel, will you be so kind enough to answer the question written on the board?” the lecturer said.

“Erm Sorry sir i haven’t been listening to your explanations” Daniel said quite disappointed with himself.

“Ooh is that so? Well why don’t you tell the class what you were hallucinating about?” the lecturer asked.

“It’s really nothing serious sir” Daniel said.

“Mr. Daniel, i know you as a very serious minded person who always pays attention in class so i hope this will be the last time you will be absent minded during lectures, am i clear Mr. Daniel?” the lecturer said with a serious tone in his voice.

“Yes sir”

“Good, you can have your sit”
Daniel sat down quite embarrassed and ashamed of himself. He didn’t even know when he drifted away from the class and now, he just embarrassed himself in front of the everyone in the class..

“Today is really turning to a bad day” Daniel thought
“So, can anyone give me the answer to the question written on the board” the lecturer asked.

A hand was raised and the lecturer then called out the person. Daniel looked up to find out it was the new girl who was called out. The new girl then gave Daniel a mocking gaze before standing up to answer the question and was giving accurate explanations of the question to the lecturer as the students in the class were now marvelled by this new girl’s brilliance and intelligence which pissed Daniel who was beginning to get agitated at her. Daniel wasn’t someone that brags or shows off himself, but he doesn’t like embarrassing situations like this one happening right in front of him.

“Who does she think she is?”

“Why did she stare at me like that?”

“So she wanna show off right?”

“Am gonna teach her a lesson she will never forget” Daniel said with a smirk on his lips as he slowly moved his leg beneath the new girl’s chair.

“Very good, a round of applause for her” the lecturer said.

The class began clapping for her as she smiled and was about to sit down befor Daniel quickly and slowly moved the chair backwards making her land on the floor with a huge thud which made the whole class erupt into laughter.

“Young lady, are you alright?” the lecturer asked a bit concerned.

“Yes i am sir” She said dusting herself as she got up. She couldn’t help but to look at Daniel who couldn’t help but to giggle and move both hands side ways indicating that he didn’t do anything but She could clearly see the lie boldly written on his face.

“Will you all keep quiet” the lecturer roared to the laughing students as everywhere suddenly went grave silent.

Just then Daniel’s friends came into the class.

Lecturer: And where are you three coming from?

Clement: Erm sir, we went on a delivery.

Felix: Yes sir, we went to deliver a package to Edwin’s dad.

Edwin: Yes sir, the package requires three men because its heavy.

Lecturer: Is that so?

Edwin, Felix & Clement: Yes sir (grinning)

Lecturer: So why do you three reek of alcohol?

Clement: (looking dumbstruck) Erm sir……. Its like…… We did……. Not..

Lecturer: Don’t bother explaining. Now here is what we’re gonna do, you see that field out there (pointing outside) i want you three to leap frog 10x before i will let you three into my class.

Edwin, Felix & Clement: But sir…..

Lecturer: No but. Go do it or you three should never enter my class again.

Edwin, Felix & Clement: Yes sir (moving towards the field)

Clement: Felix, You see what you caused.

Felix: What did i do?

Clement: Your breathe reeks of alcohol. Why didn’t brush your teeth?

Felix: Hey!! I didn’t know my breathe stinks Okay.

Clement: What fool doesn’t brush his teeth in the morning after getting drunk the previous night? Because of you, my face is gonna be all over the school’s blog and newspaper. (Sounding angry).

Felix: Hey!! I said am sorry. And its not only your face that gonna be all over papers. (Getting angry)

Clement: Who did you just call a fool? (Charging at Felix)

Edwin: Hey!! That’s enough guys (holding Clement) c’mon guys, we are not going to let this stupid punishment pull us apart Okay.

Clement:[/B] (now relaxed) Yea your right. Sorry Felix for getting angry at you.

Felix: Its alright. Sorry for calling you a fool (moving his hand for a handshake).

Clement: (receiving his hand) All is forgiven bro.

Edwin: You see, that’s more like it. Now let’s get over this crazy punishment and head back to class.

With that, they rounded up and went back to the class just as lecture finished much to their disappointment but not without them hearing what transpired between Daniel and the new girl.

Clement: Yo Danny boy wait up (as he saw Daniel)

Daniel: Hahahahaha, you guy’s are back? How was the leap frog?

Felix: Hey!! Daniel leave that aside.
We heard what happen to you and the new girl in class.

Edwin: Yeah, give us all the gist danny boy.

Daniel: Nothing much just some random girl looking for unnecessary attention.

Felix: Really? Cause i heard that she schooled you in class.

Daniel: Hey!! I wasn’t schooled alright. It was just…….

Suddenly, a white liquid substance splashed all over Daniel’s face right in the presence of other students. Shocked, Daniel and his friends slowly tilted their heads towards the direction of where the white liquid came from, only to find someone looking straight at them and also holding a cup of yoghurt at hand.
