FACADE

Chapter Three

Jason POV

I walk to my class with Christian my best friend. He keep chatting about the shitty things he did with his girlfriend on their date. I half listen to what he was saying.

He is use to doing the talking while i listen to him.

We see the Vice principal Academic talking with a woman in an expensive lace and a young girl that seem to be her daughter.

"That's girl is hot." Christain said.

"She's a kid Christian." I said to him looking away from them.

"I know but she's sexy. She's a new student. I haven't seen her around."

"Obviously." I muttered angrily.

He noticed and he smile at me.

He always get the clue when he know i want him to stop. So he did. And we begin up the flight of stairs to our new class.

We met Mrs Bolarin on the stairs. She frown at us. I know we are late and i don't give a damn. And i know she can't say anything either. They knew better than to meddle in my business.

We walk past her and we entered into the class. The class suddenly went quiet.

That is what happens whenever i step into anywhere in the school. They suddenly keep quiet and expect what i will do.

I am use to the cold and scared glare from everyone. I also give them what they deserve when they come near me.

Christian went to shake hands with his friends and music band. He smile showing his ever white teeth that he use in charming stupid girls.

I frown at him waiting for him to finish his greeting so we could find a seat in our new class.

I was still waiting for him when someone suddenly bump into me making my blood boil. I hate people touching me.

I turn to see Hadijah. She look like she is going to die in the next seconds when she saw me. Her face became pale and tears swell in her eyes.

But i don't care. She should have been careful. I was about to say something when Mary came to meet me standing beside her.

"It was a mistake Jason. Please" She begged.

Hadijah is one of her friends. They are those girls spoil rotten by their parents and they don't do a week without going shopping.

Since she begged and it is the first day of resumption, i decide to let it go.

I just glare at her and she step back a little. But she try to appear strong.

I scoff and look at the clutch on the floor.

New.

She had probably go and shop for a new wall robe for the new term.

What does she even need a clutch for in school? I thought angrily.

Another item to flaunt.

I kick it away angrily and it hit the wall making a loud sound. A part could have probably been broken. And it give me satisfaction especially when i see Hadijah with tears flowing down her cheeks.

Mary glare at me while she sooth her friend on the back.

I begin to walk to the empty seat i had notice at the back. It was a nice spot. I could also look through the window to see the corridor.

I get this feeling when someone is watching me and i knew someone is watching me. But i didn't border to know who it was and i went to my seat. I took my seat and Christian follow suit and he sat beside me close to Florence.

I heard him whisper hi to her.

Everyone had gone back to their business when i took my seat.

I turn to look at Christian right hand side and i see the girl staring at me. I have never seen her before. It means we have a new girl in the class. I shot her a glare to scare her and she does because she quickly look away. And she didn't turn back to look at me.

I smile.

I smile and i don't know why i did that. I look at her again but she try hiding beside Florence.

"Jessica is looking tempting again." Christain said beside me. I follow his eyes to Jessica at the front of the class listening to Ivy talking.

She is wearing her usual short skirt that reveal her long legs.

Cheap thing. I thought.

I roll my eyes and place my headphone on my head, turing it on.

I heard Christain sigh angrily at me before the music came to life.

An hour later, i opened my eyes to see Mr Falade the second Biology teacher in front of the class.

The students greet him. I remove my headphone from my ears when our eyes meet.

Although i and Mr Falade have not have any personal talk before but i respect him. And he seem to understand me because he knows the right thing to say at the right time to me. And not just that, i respect him most among the other teachers because he knows his subject well.

I remove the head phone and place it on my desk then he began.

"Good morning to all of you. I believe you enjoy your holidays. I know some of you use the holiday to explore the world." He said. Some students chuckles.

"I heard you have a new student in your class. Where is she?" He ask searching the class with his eyes.

The girl that was staring at me and sitting beside Florence stood up with a shy smile.

She is quite short and her skin look so smooth. The side of her face seem attractive and i could see her long natural lashes. Her uniform is well pressed and it fit her perfectly.

But there is something odd about her. I stare at her and i notice her earrings, and the black wrist watch she was wearing looks cheap.

"You are the new student. Welcome. I'm Mr Andrew Falade. I'm the second biology teacher." He introduced himself.

"My name is Laila Sofela sir." The girl said politely.

Laila Sofela. I said quietly to myself.

She speaks well but i can tell her tonation is different.

She is not from the high or middle class. I don't know how she get into Greater Height but she is definitely not born with a silver spoon.

I suddenly want to know more about her. I don't give things or anyone attention but i suddenly feel that way towards her. I really want to know her.

I saw her sit back after saying thanks to Mr Falade.

"..... but be careful." He said to her as a warning and an advice.

And my lips tug up to a smirk. Christain look at me arching a brow but i stay quiet.

Mr Falade give the scheme of work for this term before leaving us.

It give me time to think about what to do during break and i turn back to look at Laila. She is whispering to Florence.

This term might be fun.

Author Note : I enjoy writing Jason POV. Maybe the POV stuff isn't that bad.
