LIFEGUARDS

The alarm rings and a young boy wakes up turning it off and rushing Off to prepare for school. Kevin said out loud ; "being late on Your first day of school Is not cool at all". Kevin took a shower and rushed down stairs for breakfast as his mum kept calling his name repeatedly on his way downstairs. When he arrived he greeted his mum with a kissed her on the cheek and collected the breakfast from her and sat down to eat. After eating, his mum packed some for him, He kept complaining that he is Seventeen, a grown up man, he doesn't need lunch but his mum told him "you will always be my baby no matter how old you become". Looking at her son all grown up brought her to tears as she is reminded of how Kevin was 2 years old when he lost his dad and she took care of him alone, how he always cried back in school when he was little because he was always teased about not having a dad to accompany him to school everyday. Kevin is in his final class in high school and he is preparing for entrance exams to university. He has always admired doctors and wanted to be one but for that to happen he has to put in more effort because the requirements for medical school is high. He rushed to school because he was late, he ran to class hoping to enter the class before the bell rang but he didn't make it. When he arrived in class the maths teacher , Mr Alex was already in class. He asked "Are you looking for someone", Kevin replied, "I'm a new student " Mr Alex gave him a warm welcome asked him to enter and introduce himself, He obeyed. He was asked to sit in the fourth row close to the class rep. When he sat he greeted her and she reciprocated and Mr Alex continued with his class. He was interrupted again by another voice, but this time a very beautiful one that diverted everyone's attention. Mr Alex turned and we see a female student standing there and she says;"I am a new student." Mr Alex also welcomes her nicely. She introduced herself as Tessa and was directed to her seat, behind kevin's sit. Kevin cant seem to get his eyes off her, kept staring at her, but his attention returned to the board when Mr Alex continued with his lectures. Few minute later the bell rang, someone said aloud "finally! ", they all went out for lunch break.kevin was on his way to the canteen even if he was sure he didnt know the way but decided to follow hid colleagues hoping they we're all going there.He saw a dark class close to the music room, the aura I'm getting from this class is quite different he said to himself. Noone seems to pay attention to the classroom Everyone just walked passed it but he seemed to be drawned to the class room like something kept calling him. He kept walking towards the door but was interrupted by Tessa's voice when he was about opening the door. Tessa stopped to ask him for directions to the canteen, he turned and told her he is also new here, He kept smiling at her making the situation very awkward, its obvious he likes her, he told her he'll go with her.They both followed everyone else. When they both reached the canteen, Tessa introduced herself again to Kevin and they both smiled at each other, their beautiful moment was interrupted by someone who uttered from behind them "the new students are getting along well" they both turned and they saw a tall guy with a face cap, he introduced himself as Q. They all sat around a table and ate lunch. Few minutes later the bell rang again and they all had to return to their classes for lectures. On their way back to class they got separated from Kevin, he told them he wanted to use the rest room and he'll catch up with them. on his way back to class he saw the door again, he decided to check the classroom out. He entered the dark classroom and turned on the flashlight on his phone and kept walking forward then the door of the class room kept closing gently with no one there, he turned and was shocked when he saw the door completely closed but he didnt stop moving forward till a voice called out to him "kevin welcome "And he started running out. he didnt stop even after leaving the classroom, he ran into Tessa again who asked him for the direction back to the class and added she turned back because she dropped her necklace and she's trying to find it. he told her be is also going to class so they can go together but this time his voice was shaking. He showed Tessa back to the class and told her he'll come inside later, Kevin needed a place to process the experience he just had, he ended up in the stadium. He sat there, He kept asking himself "what on earth just happened, am very sure am not dreaming or am i insane". He heard the bell ring again and ran back to class. he didnt pay attention during the classes and was trying to comprehend what happened. The teacher called out his name continuously till he snapped out of it and scolded him for spacing out in class on his first day. When the bell rang he took his bag immediately and left the classroom he walked past the door again but heard nothing. His mum was already outside waiting for him, immediately he left the gate, he said to himself "Its either its my imagination or this school is hunted." When he entered the car, he greeted his mum, and she smiled and he added ;"this school is okay but the teachers are not as good as you" She smiled and said i am a lecturer not a teacher and you have never attended any of my classes. Then he said but you are my mum you have to be the best.she smiled and turned on tbe car And they drove away. When they arrived home, kevin ran to his room telling his mum while running upstairs that he is not hungry. He went straight to his system to do some research to prove to himself that he is not crazy and fell asleep. He saw himself at school again close to the door of the classroom then he entered and turned the flashlight of his phone like he did before . The voice called out to him again and he asked "who are you" this time, to his surprise the voice replied again" you have grown so tall, am not trying to harm you but am trying to talk to you", Then kevin asked about what? Then he said about your dad he was so shocked and he woke up. He kept saying about my dad, what could he know about my dad. The next morning when he came down for breakfast, this time earlier than yesterday, she asked him why he was not on uniform, he smiled and said today is saturday. When they were having their breakfast, he told his mum he wanted to ask her a question and his mum told him to ask away, he then asked "what happened to dad exactly", and his mum dropped her spoon shocked. The fact that Kevin has never asked that Question before kept her wondering for minutes, hoping he didn't find out what happened to his dad exactly....
