"To the staff room,if you want to settle things let's do it the right way"he answered as everyone started clapping.
"The righ..righ.. right way??"Harriet stammered
"Yes!! you will tell them why you want her to leave her seat just to please you"he answered
"No Bright, I was the one who wanted to leave" I added
"Jane don't make me laugh"he answered collecting my bag from me
"Jane???"Harriet called looking at me
"Jane come sit,the mathematics teacher will come in anytime"he added
Yeah!! I felt so special, no one had ever taken me so serious in school,so this was how it feels to be protected by a boy,like Harriet..
"Heyy stop smiling and have your seat"he whispered Into my ears.
********
"Thanks!!!"I said not looking at him
"No Thanks,how can you leave me?? even if she threatened you with only God knows what,you still have to Have your own say"
"Thanks!!!"
"if you were someone else, I wouldn't care but not you, definitely not Jane let's go for a walk during break"he added, taking my mathematics note to the teacher.

we both went outside immediately the bell sounded....it was cool having someone who you care about me,someone you get attached to,someone I could stay with,without thinking about my earpiece.
"Hey!!! tell me where we are heading to???"she asked gently giving me a slight blow
"I don't know,You tell me,this is my second day in school"I answered
"let's go back upstairs"
"why are you shy,you don't want anyone to see us ummmhh??"I asked as we both kept quiet
"Bright!!"A voice called from the back
"Dave!!!"I called back smiling at my brother approaching us
"Hi!!!"he said to Jane
"Hello"she Answered waving back at him
"I will be leaving,now, I will,will see you later"she added
"Hey!!! I was leaving, I only wanted to take a glimpse at the girl, my lil bro talked about from yesterday till today morning"he added winking at me
"stop it, she's shy"I whispered Into his ears
"oh!! i see, it was nice meeting you Jane"
"yea.. yeah same here"she answered
"Bright!! your principal asked you to come during closing hour for your ID card,i will be taking my leave now,bye Jenny"he added before leaving.

"You talked about at home??"she asked forming a frown
"hey don't feel too special hmm"I teased as we both walked silently into the classroom
"Thank God we aren't having drama today"
"but that doesn't change the fact that our marks had been deducted,does it??"she asked
"who drama Mark help?? to me the mark shouldn't be our probs, I don't see any reason why we should be forced to act"I answered
"She doesn't like me"Jane said smiling
"she doesn't need to,when I do"I answered
"she sees me like the daughter of a........."
"Jane your dad is here"Harriet said cutting in before packing her books to leave
"I will be back" Jane said walking away with Harriet.
***
I went to the balcony to take a look at Jane's dad...she was a simple girl with great charisma,but why does she have low self-esteem?? I wondered
sighting a man in white and the other on black suit.. followed by Harriet along side Jane who walked with them with her head facing the ground..was that man her dad?? I wondered as Harriet dad hugged Harriet standing behind him..then the man on black rushed to open the car door for Harriet and her dad...
"oh!! I see why no one wanted to get closer to Jane, they already judged her..."I thought to myself slowly walking back to my seat.
**
The door opened as Jane walked in smiling,at me
"she was strong,even when she had so many reasons to break down and cry her heart out,being judged by so many people who had no right to do so"I thought
"hey,have you been day_dreaming??"she asked snapping at me
"is your dad a driver???"I asked as the lovely smile on her lips faded.
"Yes!! he is"she answered as she turned to leave
