THE HOT NERD (II)
- SHAWN'S POV
I got to class a little early, I went for the sit in the middle because it was empty. I wasn't that scary but students all avoided sitting next to me, maybe I should compell them - I thought to myself
"Hugh", I exhaled as I brought out some notes and a jotter from my backpack, holding a biro and getting ready for my first class
[twenty minutes later]
"Seems like Professor George isn't going to come teach us", Pamela, our class overseer said aloud
"Hurray", some students shouted happily
"f**k", I muttered under my breath
I tried to jot down some important keywords from my Library Education notebook, just warming myself up for the questions Professor George would ask, if paraventurely, he comes to class
"Hmm, what are you writing?" the girl I fed from yesterday said to me with a glowing face
GOSH, so she's this cute
"Ughm, sorry but..."
"Is it some keywords?" she asked while flipping the pages of my jotter
Is she a brilliant type? Well, I really haven't gotten to know her, 'cause she's actually a new student who came in few weeks ago. I didn't know she'll be this vibrant, I think we could be friends - I said to myself, smiling internally
"You ain't giving me any response", she said with a puppy face
"Sorry, but yes, you're right, I'm actually jotting some important keywords, just in case that George of a Professor, walks in and start asking questions", I replied
"That's nice, maybe I should do same", she said, turning her back to go over to her seat
"Wait", I said holding her wrist while she turned staring at me
"What's your name?" I asked shyly
"Woo, we're in same class but still you don't know my name"
"Well, no one in this class is ready to speak to me. I'm not that scary though, maybe they just hate being around me, so I also don't care about knowing their names"
"Okay fine, I'm Miranda Austin, your opponent in grades ", she said proudly and left
Wow, so she's intelligent. Seems stadï two vi, is gonna be fun, now I have an opponent in grades.
For some minutes, I scribbled away on the jotter, memorizing all what I'm writing
"Can I sit here?"
Someone standing close to my desk said amidst the noisy class. I look who it is, it was a girl, her hair was falling down to her shoulders, she was wearing sea-blue tank top and a white cardigan falling over her shoulders, and a knee-length high waisted jean skirt with flat shoes
"Hi, may I?" she asked again
"Ah, yeah sure", I said as I got lost staring at her
"You're new here?" I blurted out. I've never met such an exquisite lady
"Yes"
WAIT, is she the transferee? Wooh, looks like I'm going to be having two female genius as my opponents
"Are you the class overseer?" she asked
"Nah"
"Then how come, you heard the news of a transferee?"
"Well, I have my ways"
"Whatever, I'm the transferee", she responded
"You know I heard news of you been the Top in your former college, is that right?"
"Yes"
"So...", I trailed off in my speech as Mr George walked into the classroom
"Gooday Mr George", we greeted
"Gooday my lovely students. Sorry I came in very late today", he apologized while staring at his wristwatch
"Since we don't have much time left, let's just do some quick recap", he said while writing the topic we would be doing a recap on the board
"So, we learnt about the types of library and their distinct functions, right?" he asked while we gave an affirmative response
"Can someone stand up and mention one type of library with a brief explanation and some functions?" he asked
For some minutes, Mr George kept on asking questions as we all applauded. I could noticed that the transferee wasn't paying much attention, there was obviously something on her mind.
And suddenly....

- Rhea's POV
After I hurried away from the Demon, I strolled down the, looking at each classes. For some while, I thought that guy gave me some wrong direction until I got to a class that was noisy
"What a class', I said, composing myself as I walked in
Thank goodness some students didn't see me, 'cause I know they might create an uproar. While walking around the class, I caught a glimpse of a guy sitting alone and jotting down some things into his notebook
"Can I sit here?" I asked while he stared longly at me from head to toe
What's with this stare?- I said to myself
"Hi, may I?" I asked again
"Ah, yeah sure", he said as I sat down at the chair beside him
"You're new here?" he blurted out
"Yes"
"Are you the transferee?"
Maybe he's the class pre..., I mean, the class overseer
"Are you the class overseer?" I asked
"Nah"
"Then how come you heard the news of a transferee?"
"Well, I have my ways", he responded
"Whatever, I'm the transferee"
"You know I heard news of you being the Top in your former college, is that right?"
Why can't this guy just shut up? I'm not in the mood for any discussion, all I could think of, was those eyes
"Yes", I replied as I opened my backpack and brought out my notepad
"So...", he trailed off in his speech as the teacher walked in
"Gooday Mr George", they greeted "Gooday my lovely students, sorry I came in very late today", he apologized stared at his wristwatch
"Since we don't have much time left, let's just do some quick recap", he said while writing the topic we would take recap on the board
"So, we learnt about the types of library and their distinct functions, right?" he asked as they all have an affirmative response
For some while, I tried paying attention to his teachings and corrections but to no avail. All what I could see in this class, were those bloody red eyes
GOSH, this school is messing up with my head
And suddenly....
"Hey", Mr George called out, points at me
"I'm screwed
" I muttered under my breathe
"You look new", he said
"Yes Sir "
"What's your name?" he asked as the students stared at me
"I'm Rhea Forbes"
"Ok Rhea, I believe you've been paying attention to the questions and answers that has been going on in this class, right?"
I WASN'T; how do I tell him
"Yes sir, I paid close attention", I lied
"I want you to define a public library, with two functions"
GOSH, I've come across this in my Library Education textbook. I think I can answer this
"Erhm...", I said as the students giggled
"Silence", Mr George yelled
"Continue please"
I stared at my seatmate who gave me a pity look
YOU CAN DO THIS, PUT A SHAME TO THOSE LAUGHING RASCALS, I said to myself
"UNESCO defined a public library as that which serves the population of a community or region, free of charge or for a nominal fee. Also, it has no definite or defined user group, rather, their doors are open to the public without discrimination or restrictions.
Some functions include the provision of reading materials for students and pupils to develop themselves during holidays and...", I couldn't conclude my response as Mr George yelled
"Give her a round of applause", as claps rented the air
"You can sit my dear", he said as I sat down
"I'm fulfilled", I murmured to myself as my seatmate smiled lovingly
