Beautiful Awakening

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 21

RELIEVED

When I heard the alarm for break period I didn’t go out like yesterday, instead I sat down, because I knew if I went out Elena might go out with me so I just took out my book and started reading. Elena who was sitting beside me then asked me, aren’t you going out? No I replied without taking my attention from my book. She then asked what’s wrong with you? You were not like this yesterday and why is your uniform stained with dust? Nothing I replied her. Okay she said and then left me alone while I continued reading my book, fifteen minutes into break period, I sensed someone sitting beside me but I didn’t care to look because I knew that it was Elena. Then she said josh why didn’t you tell me? Tell you what? I asked her, you didn’t tell me that Kelvin and his friends harassed you this morning. Who told you? I asked surprised. Well, I noticed the way your mood was today so I asked David and he told me that you were bullied by Kelvin because of me this morning. Oh! God that boy, am certainly gonna strangle him to death I thought to myself. But you know you should have told me, she said looking at me, under her intense gaze I was already feeling nervous, we are friends now so we should not keep things like that from each other. Is that okay? She asked me. I didn’t know what to say so I just nodded my head, also why did you not answer the question in class today? And don’t tell me you don’t know the answer to the question she said, well I just didn’t want to answer the question I replied her. You are shy aren’t you she asked smiling, what do you mean by that? I asked her frowning my face. Is it because I said you are shy you are frowning your face, alright am sorry, by the way i bought some snacks for you she said giving them to me. What? Am not accepting this I said to her, I insist that you should take it she said, no i still said to her, pleasssse she said pouting her lips, she looked so cute with that funny look that i couldn’t help but collect the snacks from her. After eating the snacks she gave me we started studying together, while we were studying I noticed that her attention was always at the entrance of the class but I didn’t mind. When the alarm signaling the end of break period was heard, our classmates started walking in, but when Kelvin and his friends came into the class, Elena said to me, excuse me I will be back. Okay I replied her, but what surprised me was that she walked to meet Kelvin and started talking to him. Judging by the expression on Kelvin’s face I knew something was up. After some minutes, she came back and sat down, continue she said to me, if I may ask what did you say to Kelvin? I asked her. I just warned him not to disturb you again, and if he wants to make friends with me, he should come in a proper way, not by bullying you she replied. Woah! Are you sure you did not make this worse for me, I asked her, trust me he won’t dare she said to me, just then a teacher came into the class to begin a lesson. When it was closing time, I didn’t rush home like I have been always been doing, instead I decided to walk home since I was already familiar with the road, so when the alarm started ringing me, Elena and David walked towards the gates of the school.
