Enjoy Chapter 3! Review please! :)
Tessa groaned and dragged herself back to her locker. She took out her Maths Textbook and Activity Book. She looked around and saw the familiar tinge of black hair and blue eyes. She trekked slowly towards Will. "Can I please skip Maths?" Tessa asked, in a bored tone. "My dear Miss Tess, of course not!" Will nearly cried. Tessa shot Will a look. "Fine, bring me there." Tessa said.
"Good morning. I'm Mr Victor Whitelaw. I'm your Maths teacher." The teacher, whose looks are horrible, greet the class. Not looking back, he started his teaching.
"Class, now you must revise your work since Primary 1 all the way to Secondary 4..." He rattled on and on. "Mr Whitelaw, could you get to the point? I'm going to sleep if you continue rattling speeches." Tessa and Will blurted out together. Both of them restrained from laughing, and it was successful, thankfully.
"I'm saying these for your own good! If you do not appreciate, I will thank you if you had kept quiet. Out now, Theresa and William!" Mr Whitelaw bellowed. Defiantly, both Will and Tessa stepped out of the class without being asked the second time.
"Thank God! I don't have to suffer Maths!" Tessa thought to herself, not knowing that she had spoken out loud. "Hate Maths?" She heard Will ask. She nodded. "Me too. Equations, workings, problem sums, not for me." Will said.
Tessa turned to face Will, she saw Will's blue eyes. She couldn't help but to drown into them. Tessa had an odd sense of longing for Will. Her arms longed to lurch over his shoulders.
Will snapped out of the gaze first, leaving Tessa disappointed.
Maths class was finally over. Tessa rejoiced silently. Next was Break for an hour and a half. Tessa found her way to the food stalls without the help Will. As she queued up for some chips, she heard a call of her name. She turned around.
"Tessa Gray, why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the classroom? Reading up on your General Knowledge?" Mortmain stood behind Tessa, at his side was de Quincey. "I thought you would be clever enough to study up in the old and smelly and rotten classroom. I was wrong, you are dumb. You have always been dumb." de Quincey spoke. Tessa's ego was hurt. She ran to her favorite room, the Music Room.
Will heard and saw what Mortmain and de Quincey had done to Tessa. He saw Tessa run off, her eyes were red-rimmed. Will fought the urge to go forward and bash the evil duo up. Instead, he searched for Tessa. He wanted to comfort her, to tell her it's alright, they are just jerks.
Will headed to the Music Room, as it was Tessa's favorite room, she loved Music. No doubt, he found Tessa there, in a corner of the room with her faced buried in her hands. He could hear faint sobs. "Tess? Tessa? Are you alright?" Will was full of concern, he walked towards the first girl that he had met since Year 1. He placed his hand on Tessa's shoulder. Tessa turned around and Will pulled her into a comforting hug. She cried against Will's shirt, her tears staining it.
"Tess, Tess. Cry, it will make you feel better. Remember I am your best and first friend. You have me." Will reassured Tessa. "I don't want you to be my best friend." Tessa whispered, hoping Will had not heard her. I don't want you to my best friend too. I want to love you, Tess. But I can't, Will had heard her.
Review please.
