YOLANDA'S POV
I can't function. This is definitely a horror scene and the figure I'm staring at is the Terror that gives jump scare.
HOW IS HE HERE?!
Will I fail before even starting? I take a quick look around in fear of police waiting to take me but all I get is,
Curious eyes staring at me. Shit
"We don't accept foul speaking here Ms Yolanda" Set me on fire, I said that out loud
"I am sorry ma" My apologies come out strained. Proof of my dry throat
"Introduce yourself will you?"
I stand straight, gaining back my bearing
"Apologies for bad intro. I go by Miss Yolanda, I have duo degree in English Literature & Nursing. I am your new Homeroom & English teacher, hoping to teach & learn from you all. Thank you" I say, fist bumping myself. That went contrary to my panicked heart
"Get to know your students & see me before you leave" Mrs says, her voice edged, she takes a step to leave until a voice stops her
"How did you know Oziegbe, Miss Yolanda?" Someone asks & whole classroom stares at me expectantly except Ovie, who is Glaring at said girl like she killed his precious pet.
"I don't know who that is" I respond, staring at her.
And other students look at me as though I said, We Have 3 continents. Ovie is still glaring at her-
Is he his younger brother? He didn't tell me he have Younger brother- as far as I know, he is an Only son!
"HE DIDN'T TELL YOU HE IS AN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT AS WELL" My lady moral decides to speak out. Way to go, Kindly go back to sleep miss, you're not needed now
"Dear SKY DADDY, please let him be His younger cousin, doppelganger or something of sort, Please SKY ORACLE" I pray earnestly in my mind
Mrs Mide shakes her head, taps my shoulder before exiting the room. Putting Ovie Copy to slumber in my mind, I pretend all his well & take this class as I Prepared.
"ROLLCALL. Please respond accordingly & if you'll be covering for someone, make sure you do a Good job at mimicking them" I say and the classroom bursts out laughing
" I like her" Someone says & they all continue whispering But responds accordingly when I call their name
"She'll do"
"How old do you think she is"
"Find her out"
"I am struggling with syllables"
"Your Girl is pretty & boujee"
"I know"
Those last 2 comments halts my Rollcall because the voice, that voice that said
"I KNOW" I Recognise it, Am I being delusional if I say he is talking about me?
Butterfly erupts in me, I don't know what did it, him accepting I am pretty? His Girl?
I bit my lips, blushing.
"Weeeeeun weeeun, siren sound erupts in my ears- that vehicle will be for you,
"YOU'RE HAPPY HE CALLED YOU HIS GIRL, INSTEAD OF BEING SCARED THE VOICE BELONGS TO YOUR STUDENT FLING & HIS FRIEND KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT BEACH HOUSE"
That is my Lady Moral speaking anxiety into me, I am not strong enough for this SKY LORD.
I resume rollcall but my voice sounds even more anxious to me. "I KNOW" I KNOW
Someone please have my brain checked, these 2 words play again & again in me as I rollcall.
It can't be- He's surrounded by his Age mate,and pretty ladies, what will he gain from being seen with someone 8years older than him. HIGHSCHOOLEE, I hear, which makes me look up,Nothing- "KEEP QUIET" I seethe to myself.
Everything is eerily calm, I am overthinking-
"Oziegbe Ovie Achojah" Superb he gave me his second name
"HE LIED ABOUT HIS NAME MISS"
please don't be him, someone else please answer
"Present Teach" and my jailterm responds, that voice I know,
"You're my good Slut"
"You want me to f**k you like a w***e don't you?"
Memoirs of our last s*x, plays in me, his voice bringing back all the filthy things he said to give me orgasm, I AM MY OWN DEATH!
I should resist the urge to stare at him but I am a weakling, I look up to see him staring at me, elbows on desk, riddles dancing in his eyes- Fucker finds this situation amusing, Help me
I call out remaining names just as,
2 girls & 5 boys enters the classroom,
speaking loudly.
1 female playing with a ball while the others chat intensely about the practice they obviously just concluded, causing the class to erupt in disarray-
"I am sorry, you are?" I ask them politely as they ignore me
"Miriam, Nonye, Segun, Baltimore...." Someone stops & drawls on their names-
Gesturing to the guy beside her
"We are part of basketball & the rest football team"
"And you are"? Miriam asks, folding her hands against her chest as she stares me down like I am her minion-
"Girl, please, I'll eat you up then spit you out'
My lady moral voice out.. does she not sleep?
But we don't do that, we're teachers & These kids parents, CAN JAIL ME, so I play it safe
Smiling
"That's very great of you. I understand you had to practice, hence the lateness, but I'll appreciate you entering the classroom without chatters. Dropping your gears where necessary & Treating this place like a Classroom instead of gossip plug or field" Nonye eyerolls,Superb
"I am Miss Yolanda, your new Homeroom teacher- hope to get along with you all" I finish SMILING.
Mariam Smirks
"ONE- you don't tell me what to do
TWO- I don't care who you are
THREE- Stop hoping, we can't get along" Awesome
"Whether her parents send you to jail or your pending jailterm knocks- you'll still end... Abeg, Put this rat in her place... Not in this life will a 16 years old rat bite me"
I agree with my lady morals this time
5"8 is my height, with this 2inch pumps, I stand at 5'10, very well meeting her eye level- I come out from behind my desk, walk up to face her- Crouch down, like she's short
"Well little one, I don't care if we get along, your level of intelligence don't play at my field. I anchor this classroom, unless you want parents dearest to see their little lamb repeat this class- you will Respect & Obey my rules" I stand straight & speak to her ear
"I DON'T JUST BARK, I BITE, WOOO"
Mimicking dog's bark, I leave the room to buzz in my wake. I was a student, been tutoring teenagers for two years now, I know soft teaching doesn't apply to brats
