2021-11-01 11:47:26“Your research would be on different topics, and you and your partner will have to teach the class, whatever your topic of research is. I hope I’m understood.” Mr. Davies said after he finished pairing us with our partners.
Some people responded while some just nodded in agreement with what he just said. Ellie wrote something in her book and closed it immediately and I wondered what she had been writing all along. Her partner was Ferdinand Jackson, one of the cutest boys in Sona High school, well Frank was the number one on my list though but it’s no news that Jackson was also wanted by girls too.
Well, Ellie was one of the girls who didn’t care about anything and I liked her for that.
“Why were you all flushed when Davies paired you up with Frank?” she asked me. Wow, I didn’t know that I was blushing or any sort of thing like that.
“Was it so obvious?” I asked her touching my face and smiling.
“Nah, but I noticed that something was up with you though. You like him right?” she asked then she looked towards where he sat with his friends.
“I’m not sure yet,” I replied and smiled.
“Well, the look I saw on your face back then…” she said before it was lunch break. “I should observe my break, it was nice talking to you.” She continued and stood up with her book in her hand while she carried her school bag.
As I was about to tell her that I could join her, I decided against it immediately, I don’t know why so I just nodded.
“Sure,” I said still nodding my head then she walked away. I was alone again but I didn’t bother to look back in Frank's direction, I could feel his eyes on me, you know, that feeling you get when someone is looking at you without you knowing, I don’t know if it applies to everyone, but I know when I’m being stared at.
I stood up and went out of the classroom as some students were already at the school cafeteria. I hated that place because I have bad memories of there, and I didn’t want to meet more douchebags who like to bully the poor kids or gossip about them while they eat. The school swimming pool area was usually quiet during these periods and it was my favorite place in the school. I just sat there with my book or lunch and enjoyed the serenity of the water. It made me feel at peace with the world.
Well, today is different because someone is in my favorite spot before me.
“Did you really have to follow me down here?” she said without looking up from her book. She was writing again, as usual.
“Well, how did you get to steal my spot because this is where I spend some of my lunch breaks. And I wasn’t expecting to see anyone here, especially you.” I replied before I sat down next to her and dig into my backpack for my lunch. When I offered her some, she rejected it and closed her book, well I didn’t look in. I was curious but I didn’t want to appear nosy because whatever she wrote in there was her private business and since she hid it from me, it meant that it wasn’t for my eyes.
“Have you met your research partner yet?” I asked, trying to raise a conversation between us.
“Not yet, but I’ll do that before the end of today.” She said then she brought out a sandwich from her backpack and dug into it immediately. We ate in silence and started at the pool. I think we shared this one thing and I could tell that she was here for the same reason I was. To feel what peace is like.
Just then my phone beeped as a message from Frank came in, distracting me from my thoughts.
He was asking where I was because he didn’t see me at the school cafeteria. Well, I wasn’t ready to share this place with one more person so I just ignored his text. I’ll meet him after school, he’s probably looking for a way to apologize because of what happened this morning or he wanted us to go to Mr. Davies's office to get our research topic. Whatever the case may be, I wasn’t available at the moment.
"I love the water," Ellie said and I looked at her. I wasn't expecting her to say anything because I thought she didn't even want company.
"I love how peaceful this one is," I replied then I looked at her. She was still staring at the water then she took a bite from her sandwich again.
"Yeah, it makes me want to be underwater and absorb the peace it could bring to my soul." She finally said after munching the bite of sandwich she had taken earlier and I just stared at the water while I pondered on what she said.
She was troubled, I could see it in her. And all this stuff she did was try to hide the real Ellie. Showing off a different person than she wasn't at all. I'll make sure to be her friend, though she wasn't giving me the bright green light, I'll take what I can get.
I wanted to ask her why she transferred from her former school before the bell told us that our time to attain peace for the day was up.
"We should head to class right away." She said and I nodded then we finished our lunch and left for class. It felt good to have someone to talk to.

We were having the literature class at that period and we walked into the class just before the literature teacher Miss B walked into the class. Everyone was already seated when we walked in and I was left to wonder when they all got to class since the bell that ends lunch hour just went off few minutes ago.People stared at us and probably wondered what I was doing with the new girl or what she was doing with me, seeing how unpopular I was in school. I hadn't realized that I was looking down probably, counting my steps or looking at my legs, while I made my way to my chair till I sat down and raised my head to look to the front of the class where Miss B stood trying to get ready what she was about to teach us. She was a bit strict, at least nobody made unnecessary noise when it was her standing in front of the class, unlike how most of the boys chatted and made awful noises if it were other teachers who were not so strict.Ellie had not said a single word

"Mum, do you think I am ugly?" I asked looking up to my mum for an honest answer.I asked this question a lot and I think mum was sad about the fact that I didn't feel I was beautiful. Yes, I didn't feel that way because my mates in school called me ugly and fat. As a little girl, I had baby fat till I was eleven. And even in my teenage years, I did lose some pounds during that puberty stage where the boobs grow big, hips get wider and all that, then you start your journey into adulthood. Despite all these, I was still called fat and ugly. I resented looking at myself in the mirror because I didn't want to see the ugly, fat girl that other people saw. I remember an incident that happened when I was still in fifth grade. It was lunch time and I went to the cafeteria with other kids to have lunch. While I was going to one of the tables to eat my food, someone dropped a banana peel which I slipped on and fell with my food all over me. The other kids laughed at me so hard that so

I thought that things would change in highschool. Laugh out loud, I was a foolish dreamer to think of such. Things became much worse. Life during my highschool years became much more worse than I could ever imagine. Infact it was the worst time of my life. There were different cliques all paired up in school.Among the boys,we had the most popular Frank Kingston of course,the popular, wealthy, spoilt kid that everyone wanted to be friends with. I still remembered how he humiliated me in fifth grade and said I would end up being poor just like my mother, pompous, spoilt bastard.I became angry anytime I remembered what he did to me in fifth grade. I was angry for many reasons. I was angry because he insulted me and I was angry at myself because I had a huge crush on him. Well, who wouldn't. I was fat and ugly but I had feelings too and I wasn't blind not to notice that Frank Kingston was a tall handsome human with blonde, short hair and brown eyes.His eyes were hypnotic and he

I was surprised because Frank Kingston now talked to me. Maybe I wasn't fat and ugly anymore. I was happy that at least my crush was talking to me. At least he saw me as a human being. My other mates now said hi to me sometimes though.I think it was because Frank was now talking to me. I think he controlled what happened in school without even knowing or maybe he knew. If he didn't talk to you, you won't be regarded as anything. Now people talked to me. Not as if they were friends with me,they just said hi's and that was it. It was an improvement compared to how I was treated before. I told my mum about how my mates don't call me fat and ugly anymore. How Frank Kingston seemed to talk to me now and then. She smiled and looked at me then she hugged me. That was it? Okay maybe it's her way of telling me that she is happy for me. Well I became happier as Frank got closer to me it was like a wish come true. Why did my fairy godmother decide to make my wish come true now? I wasn'

We all sat in the classroom waiting for Mr. Davies to come. He was our history teacher and he loved practicals. Of course, it was going to be another practical for our continuous assessment, it is what we knew him for; always giving practical assignments which he normally used as assessments. Ava and her crew sat in a circle, talking about what I don’t give a fuck about. Frank and his friends were nowhere to be found and I kept on wondering where they were. I just sat close to Ellie, the new girl that was transferred from Trenty High School which was in the neighboring town, she wasn’t from the neighborhood either, so she didn’t have any friends yet.“Why is this school so stratified?” she asked, while she wrote something in her book.“Well that is the norm here, you’ll get used to it soon,” I said and smiled at her.“I’m Ellie Johnson by the way,” she said. She was really cool and she looked like
