MARRIED TO MY TEACHER
Episode 5.
We all stood up to greet our headmaster and the young lady that walked into our class. My mates thought maybe she was brought to our school for a project. But they were all shocked and at the same time happy when the headmaster introduced her as our new science and technology teacher. They all applauded for the headmaster for keeping his promise.
I only stood in the class like a moron staring at her when a voice said to me ” at least we won’t be left behind ” perhaps, it was John my classmate. I assumed I was not the one he was speaking with, I only stop their staring at her with anger imagining how a girl I am older than will be teaching me in a classroom not even at home. But one thing I failed to understand was that, knowledge is not by age.
I thought I hated her but everything changed when she introduced herself to us as Lizzy Dennis. Her voice ran through my mind just as a sound from the microphone that echoes from behind a large hall. ” What a sweet angelic voice ” I said to myself in a low tune.
I stood there staring at her lips but to be sincere, I heard nothing out of what she was saying. She asked us to introduce ourselves to her. And I was not even aware when it got to my turn. John had to tap me before I realized what was going on. I introduced myself as Joseph before I could pronounce my surname, my mates shouted ” AKA Mcmech “. I could not help but smiled not because of what my mates said but because of her because her eyes were already on mine. Even when she left, I was still thinking what came over me because I never experienced such feelings in my life before, but there it came hurting my life for what I thought was impossible.
I could not help my feelings because it came as an evil spell that is been cast on someone. The only thing I had to do was to go home and rest my head from the stupid feelings. By 10 am, the bell for the morning break was rang, I quietly picked my bag and headed straight to the headmaster’s office. I lied to him that I was not too strong and I had to go home. When he asked me to go to the first aid hall, I lied to him that my illness had something to do with tradition and when it starts, I will have to take herbal medicine or it will get worse. He was scared that maybe something will happen to me so he permitted me to go.
I did that not because I was a liar but I was no longer comfortable in the class, so the only solution was to go home and clear my Head from the madness coming over me all in the name of love ♥️♥️ at first sight. Something that I never believed in.
Later on, when she started teaching us, it seemed my assumptions were wrong because she taught us well ( my Mates said so ). And they seemed to understand her more than the former Science and Technology teacher.
But to me, I understood nothing out of what she used to teach. I wanted to tell her my feelings just to be a free man and learn well but I was scared. I asked myself ” what if she gets angry and tell the headmaster, I will be expelled without waiting for my explanations. Even when she tries to explain something, instead of the words to pass through my ears, they do not. Rather, I only felt their vibrations in my heart ❤️❤️. Even when I tried to study her subjects at home, only her pretty face reflects through my brain. It got to some point were she was angry at me, maybe it was because I was not good at her subjects but she never knew the reasons why I was unable to be good at her subject. I realized that she was not even comfortable anytime she was teaching us. Sometimes, she always ask me to leave the class when it was time for her lesson. Maybe that was also because I was not good at her subject. I tried to hate her for always telling me to leave the class when it was time for her lessons, but nothing worked.
Being stranded not knowing what to do, I decided to take another dimension, I went to her and apologized for not been able to cope with her subject. She granted my pardon without even hesitating. It seemed she was waiting for my apology.
Since telling her my feelings was impossible, I decided to make her proud by doing very well in her subject. And probably going close to her so that she can take me as a friend not just a student.
She was later assigned to be teaching physic in the senior classes since she was good at it. And she was glad doing it.
We wrote our BECE successfully and non of us failed. We all passed and promoted to SSS 1. I was very happy when I got to SSS 1, because I knew my very good friend will still be my teacher. But I was not able to do sciences because I was no familiar with their subjects and I decided to be an art student. That was simply because I never wanted to waste my time doing things that I was not good at.
Although Lizzy was no longer my class teacher but she was still my very good friend. Sometimes she visited me at home but I never visited her home because I never wanted her parents to think otherwise since I never had the courage to tell her the truth.
Three years later, I graduated from secondary school. Almost all the teachers gave me a gift for always been a good student on our graduating ceremony. Everyone ate and drank to their satisfaction. It seemed our graduating ceremony was the best ever in the history of Trinity college.
