Enjoy this chapter guys :-D
Chapter 3:
I started walking towards her. "Chantelle... do you wanna talk about it?" I asked in the calmest voice. I thought about putting my hand on her arm but that would look wrong. She looks like she needs a friend to help her.
She didn't reply. She just carried on walking with her siblings all the way home. But she turned around and I could see it in her eyes that she wanted me to help her but she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Every one that was watching was now sniggering and pointing fingers. I could hear rumors were already starting to spread.
"Sir, those three must be her children, right? What a slut!"
"I heard Mr. Wickers is their dad..."
"Did you shag her, Sir?"
"SLUT! SLUT! SLUT! SLUT! SLUT! SLUT! SLU-!"
"RIGHT! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH. EVERYONE THAT IS OUT HERE HAS GOT A DETENTION FOR A MONTH. WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT CHANTELLE LIKE THAT?! NOBODY. TOMORROW AT SCHOOL YOU WILL ALL APOLOGISE TO HER AND YOU WILL TAKE BACK EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID. THEY ARE NOT HER CHILDREN AND I AM DEFINITELY NOT THEIR DAD. SO YOU CAN STOP THE RUMORS RIGHT NOW! GO HOME! YOUR DETENTION STARTS TOMORROW. " I shouted at the top of my lungs.
So that is my mission. Chantelle seems like a really sweet girl.
The next day...
Jing's POV
I walked into school in the at 8.20. I had 10 minutes to get my things ready for class. Just then I saw Chantelle and she looked exhausted.
"Hey Chantelle you are really lucky." I said.
I figured that Chantelle has gone back to not speaking because she just gave me a confused sad look.
"You didn't hear, did you?"
Chantelle shook her head still confused.
"After you had gone home Mr Wickers stood up for you. Finally a teacher who cares about their students."
"What did he say?" Chantelle finally spoke up.
"Well there were rumors going around as soon as you were gone like your siblings are actually your children and that Mr Wickers is their dad. They were just being horrible and we know that isn't true. So he was like, 'How dare you talk about her like that.' He gave them all detention for a month. He said that they should all apologise. I've never seen him so serious about something. So I say again you're lucky!" I said.
Chantelle's POV
"Thanks for telling me. Let's go to class." I say.
Alfie tried to help me? He actually cares about us? About me? You know, I could have sworn he was about to put his hand on my arm yesterday...
I start blushing and giggling.
"Woah are you feeling alright?" asked Jing.
I just laughed.
"Yeah I'm feeling amazing. Race you!"
We reached the classroom at 8:30 right on time.
We walked in and were the last two. Quite surprisingly everyone had come on time. They were talking but then when we came in they stopped.
Weird...
Mr Wickers had a sign on his shirt and it read, 'I've lost my voice'
Did he lose it when he was shouting for me?
"Don't stop on our account..." I said.
Still nothing was said.
I just brushed it off and we sat down.
Sir typed something into his laptop and an American voice repeated out loud what he typed. I guess that was how he was gonna talk until his voice was better.
I zoned out for the whole of the lesson just thinking about how different my life is here at school than it is at home.
Alfie's POV
Chantelle has been daydreaming the whole lesson. What's going on in that pretty little head of hers. Uh uh uh uh uh I didn't say pretty if that's what you're thinking...
Anyway I had better snap her back into reality.
"Chantelle, Chantelle..."
My voice finally came back after the lesson.
She snapped out of it and she accidentally brushed her lips against my cheek.
My heart started beating fast and it was visible because my tie was moving. My eyes looked as if my heart was melting. Like I was love struck.
She blushed and so did I.
I wish I could just tell her that she's so cute when she blushes but that would be illegal...
She blushed again.
"Thanks, Sir, " she giggle slightly.
Did I say that out loud?
"Yeah you did. Haha." She replied.
"Sorry about that 'mishap' a minute ago," she said.
"What mishap a minute ago? *wink*."
"Sir I need to thank you. You stood up for me when no one else had the strength to. You lost your voice because of it. You're just the coolest person ever. You tried to help me but I can't be helped. Anyway so yeah I'm really grateful." She said smiling.
"No problem. Anything for my students. And Chantelle, I will help you."
I just kneeled there staring at her lips and I started thinking, 'what if?'.
"Well I gotta get to my next class so see you tomorrow."
"See you then."
Well that was just amazing!
