In love with a mermaid

Chapter 5

Chapter five: the shoeless boy

Wayne's pov

I hurriedly walked away from them, trying to locate the principal's office, and luckily for me it was at the entrance of building, so it wasn't difficult for me to find, I knocked at the wooden brown door, and I heard a voice from behind the door, “come in" I pulled onto the round door knob and the door squeaked open.

I met the middle aged man, wearing a suit, he had slight girth that wasn't too viable as he sat down, “wisdom wealth, welcome to Woodville," he said happily, I tried to smile, he didn't see my legs, or maybe he did he just chose to ignore them because he knew of my financial status, I strongly believds that it was the latter.

“come with me I'll introduce you to your class"

“sir that won't be necessary" I said knowing that the rest would look down on me, i woukdve preferred to be on my own and sitting at a corner, “suit yourself," he said as he handed me a map,

“this map would give you a detailed information about every thing in this school, with this you can easily find your class" he said as I glanced at it “thank you principal..." I didn't know his name so I kookwd at his nane tag in his table “principal Cullen's" I finished he just nodded in satisfaction.

I left his office walking towards the direction that the map indicates that the second year high schoolers class were, in the hall way people where whispering I could hear then but I tried my best not to care, even though their words were actually doing damage to me I tried not to let it show, I walked into a class room filled with students.

Immediately in sewing me some if then burst into laughter, because of feet

“did he seriously come to school without shoes"

“i heads the shoe brothers are back they must have stolen his shoes on the way".

“are you sure he isn't even wearing a bag, you sure this guy isn't just damn broke, afterall I hear he is here in scholarship"

“right, he is poor so he can't afford the shoes"

I heard everyone doe up with with their own theory as to why I wasnt wearing shoes, they all knew that they were in a higher class than I am, I accepted that this school wasn't for me I didn't fit in here I don't even know why I left my previous school, yeah it wasn't easy there as well but, this rich kids are so mean, while I was wallowing in self pity I noticed some one at the back seat close to the wall, it was there's head lady,

She still has her cold look and the next seat close to her was vacant, I was wondering where I was going to seat, so that I wouldn't get rejected from the seat by the person next to me, I just stood there rooted to a spot.

After a while everyone in the class continues about their business and had forgotten about me I was glad but my leg had started to cramp I needed a place to seat, after a few minutes a teacher came into thw class and saw me standing, she wasn't happy, “you all have a new class mate instead of offering him a seat you all ignore him, that's a really bad attitude" the teacher scolded but non of them seemed to care.

“wisdom fo take a seat, I was looking for a vacant seat around the middle of the class but I couldn't find any, “there is a vacant seat near Isabel you could seat there" the teacher said as I felt my heart sink, I'm not sure I wanted to seat near her, but nonetheless I walked up to the empty seat, but I noticed that all eyes were on me as I sat down next to her,

I wondered why because even when they saw me bare foot they didn't care about me this much, I over heard someone whisper, “she allowed him seat down there but she never let anyone seat with her"this completely disheveled me, is that how feared Isabel was, her name was pretty so was she but her attitude was scary, it chases people away from her,

She was staring at me in a wierd way, I could've sworn I saw hurt in her eyes.

“alright everyone let's begin, today we are going to be discussing about the aquatic habitat, but before we go further did you all know that there were some things other than fishes living in the heart of the ocean" the teacher said trying to be intriguing, “things like coral and sea anemone" Casper said

“no not those I'm talking about mermaids, they exists in the heart of the sea, Isabel squinted her eyes as if trying to take what the teacher just said out of her head, has this theory been proven scientifically" Isabel asked her voice was calm and passionate, but it was filled with arrogant pride, the kind that you get when you have a lot of money.

“no it hasn't but it's true" the teacher said trying to defend herself, “we didn't come here to learn what ifs miss Chelsea, if you don't have facts to back up your claim then just stick to the textbook, don't try to sell us your false beliefs" Isabel said as the teacher left the class and everyone was cheering for her.

If I was scared of Isabel before this one has taken it up to another level, she just embarrassed that teacher Infront of everyone, I wondered if the principal was going to punish her for what she just did

After a few classes, it was break period but I want going outside, I didn't need more people laughing at my feet, but I wasn't the only one who didn't leave the class, Isabel was also still rooted in her spot, she was reading a car magazine, my stomach growled I tried to hush it but the hunger was starting to get worst.

Isabel stared at me as the sound grew more inense but I was used to going hungry so it didn't bother me much, I was wondering how I was going to get notes from the rest of my class mates so that I can update my own, but everyone hated me so it was going to be difficult “you can have mine" I turned to my left surprised at who said that, I thought that it was just voice in my head because I didn't voice out my thoughts.

“i***t if you want to update your notes you can borrow mine" she said in length, that completely dispelled the notion that the voice was in my head, my gaze fell back on her, I couldn't help taking my eyes to her chest then her plump red lips, I didn't see it before but she had really pretty eyes, they were aqua marine in colour, she was so ethereal.

I noticed that the sides of her face turned slightly red like she was blushing, “thanks" I said as she just continued reading her book like she never even saw me, a bunch of guys were passing through the hall way when I noticed that about three if them peeked into the class, you didn't need I read minds to know that they were talking about me.

After the break all the students trooped into the class room one after another, the next teacher came in, he wrote in the board calculus, everyone in the class seemed startled, “yeah I know that this is a new subject but the school introduced it so that maths is going to be easier foe you guys, so before we continued can anyone tell me anything about the subject calculus?" The twachee asked as the entire class was quiet.

I rose my hands up shakily as all eyes turned to look at me and immediately I regretted raising my hand up, the teacher beckoned for ne to go on,

“The differential engine, created by Charles Babbage operated using the principal calculus, in other word calculus is a branch mathematics that is concerned with limits and integration of functions" I said as the teacher looked at me in shock, everyone in the class looked at me but it wasn't disgust that I saw in their eyes, I couldn't tell what it was, Isabel still had her non challant look like nothing ever got to her,

Clapping could he heard as footsteps approached our class room, “thats Wayne wealth for you ....." A voice said happily it git closer to our class...
