I entered the class and the whole class looked at me in a weird way.
What is their deal now?
I sat down on my chair and revised my notes.
Few minutes after me, Keifer entered.
His wrist was bruised due to me holding it tighter earlier. It must hurt a lot. Shit! I got angry at him.
He was walking past me to go to his seat but I stopped him and checked his wrist.
Everyone was watching us and began to hoot in unison!
"Oh she can't bear to see him in pain! ", they screamed saying weird things like that
Keifer looked at me and smirked. He held a lolipop in his mouth. He removed it with his other hand and said to me,
" What are you doing, Baby? Do you miss me? But didn't we talk just a minute ago",
Hearing his words made me feel... made me feel cringey.
What is he blabbering about?
"Yes. I missed you! I missed to punch you in that fucking face of yours! ", I said to his face.
Upon hearing that, the class became quiet.
And then they erupted again
" Love Quarrel! "
Let me tell them what a love quarrel is! I was about to punch that annoying man when Sir Alvin came in the class.
"Class! Please settle down. ", he said and everyone took their seats.
Sir Alvin was looking at me. He began with the roll call.
Upon hearing my name, I attended the call.
" Y/N, Meet me after class. " Sir Alvin said and ended the roll call.
The class ended.
There was still time before the next class so i went to see Sir Alvin.
He was waiting for me outside the class.
"Follow me. ", he said and walked towards a room.
He unlocked the room and signaled me to take a seat.
I sat down at once. And Sir Alvin stood in my opposite.
" It is actually about your Dad. He asked me to look after you at school. " he said
"My Dad. How do you know each other? ", I asked him
" We are cousins. Technically I am your uncle. ", he said
" Surprising but not surprising. I barely know anyone from Dad's family accept for that old man. ", I replied in a dry voice.
" I understand. It must be hard for you. But don't worry. There are people in the family who love you. But for some reasons they had to stay away. Even your grandma loved you a lot as you were the first child of his most beloved son. But she couldn't meet you before she died. I can't tell you the reasons. It isn't my place to tell you the story. But I wanted to tell you that you aren't alone. I have always wanted to see you. When your Dad told me about you I was elated to have finally met you. ", He said with a constant smile on his face.
I smiled back slightly but didn't let it show.
" So you must also be part of the violence stuff. How come you are a teacher? " I asked him. I was curious.
He laughed a little.
"So you do know about the secret. About me being a teacher you can say I really love teaching.", he replied
" That means you too are excluded from the family?", I asked him but I felt I shouldn't have asked him this question.
"You have lots of questions. No I am not entirely excluded but the old man doesn't like me too.", he said and then whispered, " Honestly he likes no one. ",
Upon hearing him say that I smiled cause it was funny how he said that. At least he thinks the same way about that grumpy Dad of my Dad.
" Okay then. It was really nice talking to you. You must be late for your next class. ", he said and stood up from his seat walking towards the door
I followed him. He let me go through the door first and locked it again.
" Y/N, if you ever need any help you can always ask me. There is something else I wanted to ask you but it is getting late. ", he said.
I waved him bye and left for my class.
Madam Cindy was inside the class when I entered.
Kiefer's POV
It has been half an hour before she left with Sir Alvin. What are they talking about? Maybe studies stuff?
I was thinking she isn't coming back when she entered.
There was light smile on her face
I haven't seen her smile before... she has a small dimple on right side of her face when she smiles. Wait- why am I noticing that?
Keifer... focus on the plan.

Classes ended for the day.
Phew! I am so tired
I checked my phone and there was a message
Dad: Hi Sweetie! How are you? Will be talking to you soon. I will call you in afternoon
Seeing the message from Dad made me so happy. It has been a long time since we talked. Not that distance bought us apart. It has always been like this. All because of that old grumpy man.
I replied to dad in affirmative and kept my phone back into my pocket.
"You are done? ", Keifer asked
" Yes"I replied with excitement
"You were quite busy earlier. I called you thrice. Are you sure you don't have a boyfriend you were talking to earlier? " Keifer said as we walked out of the class
I lightly smacked on his back
"It was my Dad. We barely talk so even one message from him is enough to make me ecstatic. " I told him. Why was I sharing so much of me with him? But it feels comforting. Is this what dating means? Wait - we aren't dating. It is just a drama.
I was thinking to myself when I got flicked on my forehead.
"Hey, you here? " Keifer said to my face
I was startled a little but came back to the moment.
"Yes. I just zoned out." I said to him
We got on the car.
On our way, I kept checking my phone again and again.
Message from Dad
Dad: Sir won't be calling you today. He told me to text you. ~ Charles.
Upon reading the message I was upset.
I was looking forward to hearing his voice. But it isn't the first time this is happening. But it hurts the same each time.
"What's wrong? You were happy just moments ago? ", Keifer asked me
" Nothing... It is just Dad can't talk to me. He is busy. I was looking forward to our convo. So I am little upset. ", I said to him.. Why was I telling him my feelings? Since when did we become close?
He looked at me and then continued driving.
I was looking outside the window and everything felt blurry.
