Chapter 2: Feelings!!!
Chapter two: Feelings!!!
Sophy woke up on the sound of her alarm. She sat upright still with the duvet on her, and turned off the alarm. She got out of bed and was about walking to her fashion room, where she also put her books when she noticed that she didn't close the sliders on the Veranda. Sighing she locked the sliders and walked into the Fashion room.
She carried her school bag and brought out the books in it and laid them on the table. Sitting upright still with her night robe, she brought out the sketch pad and transferred the drawing onto another book. This time more neatly and not a sketch.she placed the sketch pad on one side of the table and started solving her homeworks. After she was done she went to the room to pick up her phone and she was about going back to the Fashion room when she felt uneasy.
She walked towards the Veranda and opened the sliders she looked at the house adjacent and could see that Daves' room light was still on. She phoned him and told him to come out on the Veranda which he did. They gestured since they won't hear each other talk. Dave tapped his wrist telling sophy that it was late and she left. Checking the time while walking into the Fashion room she saw that it was a quarter past two. She just brushed through her books and jumped in bed logging in on Facebook messanger.
Precious was still active and sophy wondered who she could be talking to so she texted her.
' HI, aren't you sleeping?'
Few seconds later.' Hi, not feeling sleepy and besides, am having a great chat here.'
She frowned a bit and thought' Who could she be talking to, by this time?'
She texted back 'And who are you chatting with?'
' The class teacher, Mr Harry. He's so cool though he keeps telling me to go to bed, so sweet right?'
Sophy rolled her eyes and sat upright, sighing.
'Well keep it up am going back to bed. Good night and good luck with your new catch.' she texted with a mocking emoji. Precious didn't reply so she just logged out and went back to sleep.
The alarm clock came again and she knew it was time to go to school. She rushed to the bathroom and picked her brush. With the brush in her mouth she brought out her uniform and laid it on the bed. She then closed the Veranda curtain and rushed back to the bathroom.
Under the shower she did her usual thing. Singing about fashion until she felt soap in her mouth. After she was all ready for school she took her bag and rushed downstairs but surely after cleaning the room.
'Good morning everyone.' she greeted sitting at the dining and tapping the table.
' Good morning miss.' the maids said.
'Oh! my darling you are ready?' her mom asked smiling. ' hope my little princess did her hygiene? Shall I take you to school today?' she asked giving sophy a tight hug. She reciprocated by patting her back lightly. Her mom realeased her and smoothed her black hair with her hand.
' Please give me breakfast quickly. I have to catch up with precious on the next street.'
' How was your night sophy?' her mom asked again.
' Good apart from the nightmares I have been having since 5. In fact am no longer scared of the nightmare. It can't scare me now, am a big girl.' she said sitting upright and her mom sat by her side smiling.
' I think I know the solution to your problem.'
' You do?' Sophy asked and her pale blue eyeball lightened up.
' yes I do, and all you need is a boyfriend. '
' Oh please mom. Spare me. Not now. ' she said eating her breakfast.
' Precious told me that your new class teacher is 21 and is so handsome.'
She glared at her mom.' definitely not him. I feel uneasy around him. In fact I don't like him.'
' Really dear.' her dad said walking towards her and she smiled broadly hugging her dad.' Should I tell them to change him?' he asked her.
' No dad, am sure I will get to like him with time. Am still missing Mrs Maria. That's all.'
' You know, anything for you princess.'
' Anything for your princess but you won't get her a car.' She said frowning a bit.
' I will surely get you one soon.'
' You had better do dad. Dave has a car and precious is getting one soon.'
Her mom stood up and was ready to leave when she turned back looking at sophy.' Speaking of Dave isn't he your boyfriend?'
Immediately sophy stood up and carried her school bag and was about to leave when she stared at her mom.
'Firstly Dave isn't my boyfriend, he's my best friend. And you should focus on giving me little brother or sister.' she said and with that she left smiling knowing she had won over her mom. She passed by the convenience store and it reminded her of Harry which sent goose bumps on her hands. She got to the next street and was about phoning precious when she saw her running towards her.
' You are late because you were busy chatting him, right.' she asked and precious giggled.
They were the first set of students to arrive in class. Sophy was still busy arranging the desks when Harry walked in. She didn't even notice he had been staring at her until she looked back. Precious had gone out to meet someone.
' Hi.'
' Good morning sir.' she replied with her straight face.
' Is your face always like that?' he asked smiling.
She was feeling really uneasy so she just headed for the door ignoring his question.' I will go find precious. ' she managed to say and Harry caught a glimpse of her pale blue eyes and black hair which was thrown down her back almost reaching her waist.
'wait Sophia yes...' but she had left hurriedly. Harry frowned and looked at the door then he rested his hands on his waist smiling.
' hmmm..so much resemblance, s-o-p-h-y.' he finished stressing the name.
She was going to have a hard time avoiding her class teacher. She sat down in class looking at the fields again, every one was present except Dave but it didn't worry her neither did it worry the class. He's always like that. Harry entered with the register in his hands and looked at the whole class room, he immediately knew someone was missing and he also knew it was Dave, the guy who lived adjacent to sophys' house and was extremely close to her.
Sophy stood up and faced the class.' greetings.' she said and they all stood up to greet.' Bow.' and they bowed a little.
Then they all sat down and sophy stared unto the fields again.
'it's gonna be so hard to cope with this uneasy feeling.' she thought as she stared at the teacher.
Harry was busy with the register and sophy was taking in the detail of his clothes again. Like who doesn't do that?
Today he wore a black shoe which she knew was Roove, and blue pants which was definitely Marks&Spencer. His belt was Gucci and his shirt was an ocean blue one with small black dots. Sophy couldn't figure out which designer it was. But the tie was MM with a day-glo color. And his hair was as neat as always.
' Sophy!' precious screamed and she came back to reality.
Seeing that Harry was staring at her frowning, she said' Sorry. My bad. I am really sorry. '
' Sophia what were you thinking?' he asked but she didn't reply she only looked sorry. She was feeling really sorry.'Sophia Williams?' he called.
' present sir.' she replied frowning and precious gave a little pinch on the shoulder.
' Why the frown?'
' You would know since you are best friend.' She said taking precious hands off her' He called my name wrongly.' Sophy said through her teeth and precious smiled.
Harry asked about the class officials and sophy stood up to do the talking.' Well..' she began in her tiny voice ' I am the class president, Audery is my assistant. Victor there is the secretary' she said pointing to a fair haired boy at the middle sit' and Charlie at the back there is his assistant, while precious here is the treasurer.' she completed taking her seat and Harry watched her.
'Still the same.' he said within himself.
He went back to the register and looked through the names his eyes caught sopyhs' name and he smiled.
' Sophy.'he called within himself.' Sophy Williams. Sophia. Sophia. Sophia.'
Sophy looked up worried she had heard that voice again. That same voice that has been taunting her years back and she could feel it was near.' Sir did you call me?' she asked worriedly, which made Harry look at her.
' No I didn't. ' he lied.
' Did she hear me call her name? Maybe it was just a coincidence. ' he thought.' let me try it again. Sophia. Sophia.' he called again.
She looked up at him worried and he was sure she heard him again. He completed the register and stood in front of the class with the register in his hands.
' I will see you guys when it's third period.' he said and they all nodded.
' sir, never mind, sophy will come fetch you from your office.' Audery said loudly and precious agreed.
' I will?'Sophy asked.
Precious glared at her tightening her fist.' Why did you say "I will?" instead of "I will." she finished gritting her teeth.
' I mean there is the time table on his desk and plus the bell he will surely know it's time for class.'
' But you know that it's your duty to get the teachers, right? And plus you know he's new here.' she added frowning.
Sophy stood up and faced Harry.' Sorry sir but there's a time table on your desk and also the time keeper will jingle the bell and you will know it's third period. So master I don't think I will be needed. Okay master?' she asked
'Harry. ' he said staring at her and when she didn't say anything he repeated it again.'Har-ry. ' stressing out the syllables.
Sophy sighed and bit her lower lip before talking' Harry.' She said finally and Harry smiled, even the class couldn't help but smile.
' So I will be looking forward to seeing you in my office.' and he left.
Harry was walking down the hall when a student popped out of nowhere and stood in his front.
'Well well well.' she said clapping her hands.' look who we've got here. It's Harry,Harry Benjamin. '
Harry stared at the student in front of him and closed his eyes. Looking at her black eyeball and red hair he wanted to leave but she stopped him again.' This won't get you anywhere Andi. What did you do to yourself. Look at you.' he said looking at her from head to toe. 'This doesn't fit you at all.'
' we will see very soon. You will surely dance to my tunes soon. I promise you Harry. ' she stared at him and left. Harry walked down the hallway and thought about how sophy had called his name.
' She had even made it sound Greek.' he said smiling.
It was already time for English but sophy didn't move a bit. Dave was already present.
'I didn't know that you were so mean, sophy.' precious said and both sophy and Dave looked at her confused.' Did you forget that it's third period already?'
Quickly she stood up and went out if the class room. She stood in front of the elevator pressing the button. When she got inside,she pressed 4 and the elevator started going up. She rested her head on the wall of the elevator and thought about seeing Harry again. She was going to feel uncomfortable again.
' Oh! No!' she cried.
She knocked on the door and the voice came again. ' yes who's there?'
' Sophy sir.'
' Oh! Sophia. Please come in.' and she went in.
' it's time right?' he asked packing some books.
' yes sir.' she replied
He stopped what he was doing and stared at her. The stare could wipe sophy off her feet as she swallowed hard and looked away.'Harry.' he finally said.
' yes sir-- I mean Harry. '
' Are you greek?' he asked.
' would a Greek be sophy by name?' she asked him frowning and he smiled packing the books. They went out and sophy wished someone will join them in the elevator. But it was just the both of them.
She stood at the end away from him and the elevator closed. He pressed the figure and it started moving down. He stared at her and saw that she was sweating.
He moved closer and asked' what's wrong Sophia?'
She shifted backwards a little and he moved closer. She moved back again and now her back was now touching the elevator.'Why do you hate me Sophia?' he asked.
' I don't.' she said and he stared at her again.'Please move away from me.' Sophy said shouting and her knees went off she was about to fall but he held her waist with his left hand the other holding the books.
' what do you feel about me?' Harry asked looking into her pale blue eyeballs.
The elevator door opened and sophy could see an image standing there looking at both of them.
'Weldone Harry now I have caught you.'the figure said smiling at sophy with evil intentions while Harry just stared at sophy smiling.
