"What?! No. No I can't."
"Come on, son. I know you're on hiatus but won't you please substitute for me for a bit while I recover? It will be a pity if my students miss their lesson because of their incompetent teacher."
"Or you mean they'll miss you rather than the lesson?"
My old man chuckled. He called the school earlier to take a day off due to him fainting earlier. He's been pushing himself these few past days and now it's taken a toll on his restless body.
"Please son." There was a bit of silence after that.
(Sigh)
"Alright. But I doubt it'll be accepted by the dean. I just graduated, afterall."
"Oh, don't worry about that."
Hmmn?
"I told the dean before that if anything happens to me, you'll serve as my substitute while you're still unsure what job to choose." He smiled.
"You've planned this already,huh?"
"I ain't your father for nothing." (gives a goodluck hand sign)
"Ugh, so sly.."
"So, what are you waiting for?"
"Hmmn, what?"
"I have classes today."
. . . . . . . .
. . . . .
. . .
"W-what?"
"Get your ass off already."
"EH?! I don't know what class you're teaching, pops. Plus, I can't just teach anything in a whim-"
"You can just introduce yourself to them and go over my past lessons. Everything is written on my lesson plan. A glance is enough, right?"
. . . . .
"Alright. I'll take it for today."
"Don't leave them heartbroken, okay?"
(shrugs)
Echo's PoV
I'm soooo tired. Why, it's the godly hour already but there's no sign of "him" and HIM and Reimann is...Argh! Mr. Knight-ley please bless my eyes already! Please god of sexiness console my withered day.... I promise to behave and be active even in the most boring discussion, to be of use to my people and nation, to impart my knowledge to my fellowmen and be a good exa-
As if in movies where the bride slowly enters the altar, the door opened and a tall, handsome guy step in. Slowly, from the floor his eyes travelled up to the seats in front of him to mine.
Holy s**t.
Our eyes met.
I'm sorry Sharmaine. Looks like I can't eat a dove and stay innocent.
Mmm~ no! Don't let it out!~
"What's that nasty sound?" Danee looks at me in disgust.
"How's my face right now?" I whispered, trying not to move too much muscle.
"You look stoned."
"Who's that?" (Echo trying her best not to move and maintain bullshit composure)
"I know, right? Hard to believe that's Genesis Kyrie without facemask lol. He's a looker ri-"
WHAATT?!
OMG! OMG! YAS, HOT GUY...OMG!
"b***h, you're not planning on stalking that guy, are you?" Turns my face to her.
"You hopeless fujoshi..fine! Do what you want but don't make it to the headlines of the school bulletin tomorrow, whatever."
"Danee-sama support me!"
"No, you perv!"
"Look, oh my god!" A girl from class gasped.
"I knew it! He's a handsome guy!" b***h number 2 said.
"Ooh, he's coming this way!" b***h number 2 said again.
"Let's sit beside him." Other bitches gather as they watch his every step up the seats. Some waiting at their rows to be chosen. Some are ready to follow his steps. But, be it destiny or not, I somehow pity their efforts.
Why?
(fwip)
Because believe it or not, little convenient coinscidences happen in life sometimes. And is enough to create a little change for fate.
At that time, Danee looks at me with confusion in her eyes.
I know.
But Danee, I don't actually know how to react now that he's seated beside me too.
.....
Not too long after that, everyone was silent and the sound of pushing at the door made everyone look at its direction.
"Good afternoon, everyone." The figure said as it continually walks to the table at the front.
"I'm sorry for being late."
Jaw-down, eyes popped and not a muscle dare move.
It was an awkward silence for a minute. Had I known multiple coincidences can happen in a single day, I've written my last will and testament.
"M-Mr. Knightley?"
"You're Mr. Knightley, right?!"
He looked at us and flash a smile. I can see those who remain standing got weak in their knees and red faces trembling from...
"Yes, and no." He said.
I look at the Kpop guy beside me. He definitely looks surprised but for some reason, there seems to be familiarity in his eyes. Oooh~ I smell gossip.
"Mr. Kris Knightley is my father. I'm sorry he can't come today, but I'll be subbing him so you can also just call me Mr. Knightley. Nice to meet you all. My name is Raven Knightley." He said.
I also thought he was Mr. Knightley that became younger in a day. His silver white hair, blue eyes and sexy voice... I'm breathing it in.
"May I ask a question?" A brave little girl said.
"Sure, as long as it's related to the course subject."he answered with a smile. Even his smile is bad for the heart!
"Well..sir. How old are you?"
"Umm, well I don't think that's related?"
"Sir" my voice betrayed my initial plan to remain a stone. Mr. Raven looked at me as I sprang from my seat.
"Yes, young miss?" He smiled.
"Knowing a person's age is a must for business." Finally, I gave up on thinking and let my mouth blabber
"Oh, please enlighten me." With arms crossed on his chest, he placed a finger upon his chin as if waiting for me to explain my answer further.
Softly, I sighed but I'm not backing down.
"It is a basic knowledge that when starting a business, we should learn for what, where, when, which and how it is. Under the category of 'what' lies things a businessman firstly asks himself. For example, 'What product will it be?', 'What factors should I consider?', 'What type of audiences, What age is my target consumers? That is why age is a part of question, Sir." In a corner of my eye, I can see Danee smiling while I can hear nothing from the crowd.
"Wonderful." Mr. Raven smiled once more, and applause filled the room.
"Wow, Echo! Who knew you're this smart?" That voice, it's that annoying Daniel again.
"Shut the fck up, fella." Danee showed him a you-society-scumbag look and turn to me.
"You're a psycho, but I'm proud of you."
Oh no, now who should I stalk first? K-pop guy or Mr. Angelic?
