Hidden Dreams

Episode 7

We spent the rest of the afternoon chatting as he took me around the surroundings. .I could see a lot of glances as we passed around.
” a new kid huh?” one of the guys in a funny swag shouted.

” ignore him man, that boy has issues and he’s known for his bad manners, watch out for him and his group. He thinks he owns this place” John told me.
I looked back at the group and sighed.
” well, he better not mess with me am in no mood for his outburst and I don’t think I will accept anyone getting me on my bad side” I added calmly
John looked at Me, he was a shoulder shorter than me and I could see a smile on the corner of his mouth. I looked built up and tough too and am sure he liked being around me. I could see how proud he looked and waved at other kids around, more like announcing ” am with a rich and tough guy for a friend”
Later that evening we walked to the dinning hall for our dinner. Some faces turned towards us. I wore blue pants and a V- neck tshirt and some sneakers, I bet I looked hot and expensive too. My head was well shaved and I had my side beards well trimmed.
I flashed a smile at one of the boys John introduced to me earlier as the head boy for the school.

Grabbing our food I walked to find a sit near John and the head boy called me out to go sit on their table.

I shrugged and called John to join us too.
” hey man! Am Oswald ” the head boy shouted as I sat opposite him.
” hey” I quickly answered and smiled.
Thanks for letting me join you guys I added.
” You welcome my man, you look like you belong here,” Oswald shrugged.
I felt good, having to get recognition at the first day in school was actually cool.i guess having some rich family had its benefits after all. My looks added to the good reception.
Well, the day went on well as the head boy and other guys chatted with me. We sat outside the hostels as they told me staff and i listened smiling and laughing through it all.
By the time I got to my hostel with John I felt a sense of belonging. And for the first time in months I had laughed and smiled.
” so what time is class tomorrow?” I asked John as we lay in our beds. The whole hostel was quiet now as the others where probably sleeping. Luckily the rooms where divided by some walls and there where two people in each room. The top part was open and we could hear others clearly.
” Class starts at 7: 15, but we are all expected to be up by 05:30 to clean up the rooms and have our breakfast.”
I see, I sighed. Well I have prepared my uniform already and am sure I will make it up at that time. But I don’t think I will go for breakfast. I mean, the food we ate this evening is still making my stomac jump . Is that how they cook.?” I asked
John laughed.” Welcome, to Lubo”, he giggled.

” don’t worry though, with time you will start running to go have that food man, I mean, this is just the beginning of term two am sure by the end of the 3rd week all the food you came with will have finished and you will be forced to eat in the dinning” he added.

” oh I forgot, am sure your parents will bring some more for you. Lucky you man, some of us its harsh. We don’t see any good food around here except the one we carry for the first week. My mother can’t afford it. By the way your parents look cool man. They seem to love you so much. I wish we had such a car too” John said calmly.

I smiled at John, “come on, let’s sleep now you talk too much. You have no clue about me.” I whispered and got back in my blanket.
A week passed and I begun to get used to being in school. My interest wasn’t so much with learning though. I found myself happy around the guys. I always looked forward to getting out of class and even during prep time, I just stared at my books as usual.
John realised I was not so good with school work and he started trying to help me. I should admit the guy had brains. I didn’t undersrand how he didn’t put in much effort but was always answering questions in class and performed so well in the class exercises.
On a Friday, we were told to go to our various clubs.

” what type of clubs do we have here?” I asked John as we walked out.
” well, am in the JETS club, but there are other clubs too. There’s drama, commerce club, mathematics, scripture union and others. The least attended of all though is a dance club that is lead by this hot teacher” John giggled.

” dance club? ” I asked with a Grin
” Yeah dance, can you imagine that nonsense? I hear guys who go there just want to take a look at that hot Madam’s perfect shape” he laughed.
I stopped walking, looking at John. He shook his head.

” don’t tell me you are interested in going to check out this music teacher?” John teased giving me a push.
I staggered back a bit and smiled. ” Yeah, I actually want to entertain my eyes” I lied smiling.

I couldn’t get to tell my new friend how I loved dancing. I knew from his expression dancing wasn’t for people like him. His opinion was clear evidence.

I walked him to his club and slowly escaped to the class where I could hear some music playing.

Without getting inside I stood by the window and watched as the music teacher showed some moves to the group. Most of the pupils there were girls. There were only three guys present and I understood why. They kept on eyeing the teachers curves and barely paid attention to her teaching.

The teacher was indeed great looking, she looked young if not for the fact she was in her clothes and not uniform I could have thought she was one of the grade 12 girls.

I was gazing inside when someone patted my back.

” wanna dance?” A soft voice asked making me turn to the direction of a sweet voice.

” hey” I sighed shyly.
” not really, actually am new here so was just checking out some clubs in this school” I faked a smile.

The girls lips curved into a beautiful smile. She wore her school skirt but had removed her shirt leaving her in a white silk vest making her small round breasts fitting in it perfectly.
” well, so?” She asked almost in a whisper.
” I’m um am.” I stammeredu
” think I have seen enough” I told her shrugging.

She smiled again.” Am Tracy, and I love dancing, this is my club” she announced proudly.

” Jared” , I shook her hand, “you can call me Jay, most people call me that” I smiled widely.

She turned her head inside. ” I better be going now” she chuckled.
“Am missing out on the new steps. Nice to meet you Jay”, she smiled and walked in.
I stood there watching as she joined the group and started following the hot teacher’s moves.

I smiled and walked away lest the guys saw me drooling over a dance class.
