Beautiful Awakening

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 44

WARM ATTITUDE

The next morning my mood didn’t improve at all because I still had the thought of yesterday’s scenario running through my head, due to my current mood i decided to go to school late this morning, a decision which I am now regretting because as I got to the gates of our school I saw the head boy standing with two other seniors. I was kind off surprised because I have never seen him in the morning however It was then I realize why he was not always present on the assembly, it turns out that he is always present at the gate giving punishment to the late students. Judging by his expression I can see he really enjoyed what he was doing at the moment, when I walked into the school premises I joined the small group of student that were waiting for their turn to get punished but alas! The head boy spotted me. Joshua come here he yelled out loudly, out of frustration I walked to him in a slow pace, how are you he said to me warmly, I was amused for I had thought that he would want to take this opportunity to bully because I had been rude to him during his encounter with Elena the other day.

Nevertheless I replied saying am fine senior, you don’t normally come late to school so what happened to today? He asked curiously, nothing I just had a bad night yesterday I replied wearily, if only he knew that he was the cause of me having a bad night yesterday I thought to myself. You can go to the assembly the head boy said to me, what!! I thought am supposed to be punished? I asked In confusion, just consider part of it as pardon for today while the other part is for you helping me yesterday he replied winking at me. My expression changed instantly the moment he said I helped yesterday however I quickly adjusted my countenance so he will not notice the change in my mood. Thanks I said to him simply before walking towards the assembly but i knew very well that i had to be cautious, when I got to the assembly troops of students had started to move into their respective classes so I just moved into my class. After the normal routine of me and David exchanging pleasantries I moved to my seat only to meet the sight of Elena glowing like a star, as I walked to our seat the bad mood which was lingering on me since yesterday disappeared when I saw her smiling at me, one peculiar feature about Elena was the calming effect she had on other people and surely that effect was certainly playing its role on me right now. Good morning she said as soon as I sat down, morni..ng I replied simply, why did you come late today she asked curiously, nothing I just woke up late I retorted with a smile, sleeping head she muttered.
