Beautiful Awakening

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 12

SILENCE

Next day I was off to school again but today I was wearing my uniform and I got to say I looked good in it. The school uniform of Greenfield college was a green trouser, white button up shirt and a green jacket on top for both boys and girls except that girls wore skirt instead of trouser. After the assembly for the day I got in the class, by then Elena wasn’t in the class, so I just sat down while I buried my head in my books. I looked up when I heard gasps and whispers coming from my classmates, then I saw Elena walking majestically into the class but this time she was in her school uniform too, today she wore a green bag and white sandals which complimented her uniform, our gazed met but I got hold of myself today and looked away before my gaze began to look awkward like yesterday, when she sat down I heard her say hello and ohh! Her voice felt so good and pleasing to the ears. I didn’t say anything but gave her a thumbs up without looking at her. Can I know your name? She asked again.

Joshua I replied without taking my gaze from my book, why are you this cold? is it because of yesterday? She asked. Well am sorry for my attitude yesterday she said, I just replied her by giving her a thumbs up again, I have been talking to you and you are not paying attention instead you are gesturing your thumbs to me she said almost shouting thereby alerting the attention of the class, that was when I looked at her. What do you want I replied almost in a whisper, what’s wrong with you, don’t you know how to talk, she asked me. You guessed right, he is dumb and can’t talk. That was Kelvin the jerk who just walked in with his friends or should I say disciples, but what surprised me was that Elena then said aloud rudely, did I ask you? That was it the whole class started laughing, you dare to laugh, Kelvin yelled at our other classmates making them immediately kept quiet, as for me I couldn’t hold the laughter emanating from me so I covered my mouth with my hands while giggling. Looking at Kelvin I saw that he was visibly angry, our eyes got locked on each other then he nodded gently and I could tell that from that day my stay in green field college was going to be tough. Elena didn’t bother to talk to me again, and it looked like she was upset but then teachers started to troop in one by one until we heard the bell signaling the break period for the day. I packed my books like yesterday and went out, immediately I got out David came to my side, hey bro, how you doing, he said.

Amm good I replied him, you didn’t even check to see if am in school he reprimanded. Am sorry I said to him, I was kind of surprised by the way I talked to him today, I guess I was already considering as a friend now, so I just flowed with the conversation and I guessed he noticed the change because he made a remark, wow, it seems God talked to you yesterday, he said. What do you mean by that? I replied feigning annoyance, you were not this friendly to me yesterday he said.
