Juliette's point of view...
"Were you the one in the staff room earlier?" he asked and I froze.But still, my subconscious mind forced me to think another way.Who the hell is he to ask me?I rolled my eyes over his handsome face and attractive body and blurted out in my straight attitude."Who the hell are you to ask me? It's none of your business...!" I smacked while turning around to run away to my class.Though he is not a student, he isn't a professor either. Who on hell works as a professor with that face and body?Rushing towards the class, I didn't even bother to turn back once to face him. If I do, I may fall for him.My my...he was...ugh...!!"Guys time to play...!" I announced the moment I stepped in. Everyone started screaming in joy.Getting settled, I started working on the reports and Scarlett started writing her notes.It was afternoon already and two consecutive periods of arts, I mean leisure was like candy for the kids.They were shouting, playing, enjoying their time until the door of the classroom flung open revealing Mrs. Jackson, the principal, clearing her throat. A sudden silence spread across and everyone stared at her unusual visit.It was common for the principal to keep on a watch but she seldom enters any class. I thought she was here just to peek and would leave once done with her check.But...!"May I have your attention please?" she said while a piece of chalk drifted toward me. I lifted my gaze only to notice that all the other students in my class were on their feet. I turned my head towards the teacher's desk and met a familiar pair of piercing, blue eyes that penetrated right into my soul.It wasn't my favorite thing to see in this whole world.What the hell was going on?It was the same guy that I bumped into earlier. Did he just complain about that thing to the principal?I pushed my ass and stood staring at him. He rolled all around the class before settling down his gaze on me. He frowned and I felt my palms numb.He had his arms crossed before his chest, which made it very clear that he was pissed off. Setting my pen aside, I gulped.No man...!I was damn sure he was here to vent out his ego that I just rumpled.Mrs. Jackson moved closer to the desk and forced a smile after setting her glasses."Well, I am here to introduce someone to you all!"She said and turned around to see the man behind her,"Meet Mr. Richard Solmon, your new art teacher" the class reverberated with a loud 'wow'.Girls were more excited than the boys anyway. But I was like hit by a huge ball in my face.Dumbfounded...!Is this true...!How could it be God...!How could he be a teacher?I was still speculating the things that turned out to be more than anything to take for my brain.A good girl, a class topper, and more than anything, an image of a teacher's pet everything just got demolished. I talked to him so rudely and I am sure he is going to hold grudges against me.Mrs. Jackson left the class and everyone settled except for me. Still gaping at him for any excuses to run out of his class immediately so that at least he won't kill me.He turned around sharply to face me, "Do I have to announce specifically for you to sit down?" he grunted and I jerked sitting down."Oh my god...! Is he a teacher...! I mean look at him man I can do anything to get beneath him" Scarlett nudged while whispering in my ears. I hung my head in disbelief avoiding everything going inside my ears other than what Mrs Jackson had just announced.This can't be true...! How could I have a fate like this?"Hmm..." he groaned. "Let's t begin," and with that,he turned around and walked back towards the teacher's desk."Okay, today-," he sputtered taking out some sheets from an envelope beside him."I thought there won't be a class for the fourth year today but destiny wants us to meet" his words were common but I do feel like they were cornered to me.Was he talking about me? Destiny...! My foot...!It was all done by me...!I regret doing it though.He arched an eyebrow at me, and said in a sneering tone,"I heard a lot about your class, full of genius students but don't think it is"I took a deep breath as his eyes fixated on me and that wasn't a friendly gaze. He was clearly throwing daggers at me. Feeling the blood rush to my cheeks, I bent to my desk immediately and closed my eyes tightly trying to shrug it off.This is going to be so hard to deal with. I have to apologize or he will surely make it hard for me.As I didn't lift my gaze, he continued to take his class and I sat motionless as if I wasn't even present at that place.Soon a buzz of vibration in my phone got my attention, taking it out I almost screamed excitedly."Wow..." but soon I realized that it wasn't me alone whose attention was grabbed,"That's enough...!" he grunted.What the hell...!I already jotted my name in his odds, he walked up to me, his hands shoving back his hair. He was irritated and that was evident on his face when his jaws clenched."What's your name?" he asked venomously while his fingers tapped on my desk. I stood up immediately while my head hung down.Will he report me to the principal if I tell him my name, this time?No shit...! Mrs. Jackson will definitely call Mom over this time."Sir, I...a.. m sorry" I stuttered but he gritted again,"I asked, what's your name...!" I gulped down as his anger was dreadful. I don't have a way out.I successfully got on his nerves."Juliette...!" I replied in a very slow tone. He raised his chin and released a warn breath,"Meet me in the office...!" his words sharp as if staying with a knife.I am done for...!"Yes, sir" I murmured staring at the ground.What is he going to do? Why did he call me to the office?I better apologize before he can vent his anger on me. But...!Will I get the chance to do so?Ugh...! Why life is so hard?****************Juliette's point of view... The art class, I chose that subject because I heard that the previous art teacher attended the classes so rarely. It was considered as a leisure period for us but now everything changed. Why on earth did the school hire an annoying character like him?A face like a chocolate man and the temper of a hell lord. What am I going to face right now? As the bell rang, everyone started gossiping about the new dream boy character introduced but my concern was solely on the look that he spared me before getting out of the room. I have to enter the devil's lair...! Oh God...! Why? It's 2.00 p.m and I'm standing at the door of Mr. Richard's office still hesitating to enter. Whatever is waiting for me, it cannot be good...after all...! After standing there for what felt like an eternity, I finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door."Get in," I heard an extremely resonant voice jerking my soul inside. Pivoting the doorknob and pushing the door open, I
Richard's point of view...A few days ago, I got a call from Dad's office and rushed back there only to listen to the thing I regretted the most. His will...! Before Dad passed away a year ago, he wrote a will and another will to keep his will safe until I complete my master's. I was in my last year when I got the news that his condition was bad, yet he didn't let me come. I can only see him at his funeral. It was irritating. His team of lawyers told me that he asked them to keep his will a secret until I get my master's graduation done. Ridiculous...! Why was that so important...! I felt it was the most annoying thing that he demanded from me but as soon as I got his will opened, my mind just fumed off. As a Master's graduate from the University of Oxford, I felt thoroughly humiliated when I was asked to work as a teacher at a high school. And he wanted me to be a art teacher...! Wasn't that a joke? Why would someone with an architecture major will work as an art teacher?
Juliette's point of view... "Juliette...!!" my Mom shouted her throat out and I knew that I had just messed everything up. She is gonna kill me if that creep tells her anything of what happened at school, that I poked something at the staff room. But that pervert...! I am gonna kill him today. How dare he come straight to my house?Where the hell did he get the address? I walked out fuming in anger but after taking a long breath I was ready to fight the battle.Then suddenly the unexpected thing happened...! That scene, I saw just blew my head off. The hall was packed, Aunt Dory and one more lady along with that handsome creep were sitting on the L-shaped sofa. My Mom was serving them with some tea or coffee. Looking at how nervous my mom was, I can say who those people were. I strode my ass down the stairs with my eyes flung open as if it was something shocking going on. No way...! This is not going to happen. I thought he was here to blurt about me but it was more than a shoc
Juliette's point of view... Lab-Dab...! Lab-Dab...! This is not happening...! I am dreaming right now. I was never handled like this by any boy...! This is just...! He grabbed my hand and took me near the space between the two rooms. It's like a corner hidden from everyone, some things like a table and a few chairs were resting over there. He pushed me slightly over the table so that I almost leaned back on it. That was unexpected. Totally Unexpected. Goosebumps crept all over my body and I quivered for a second. How could he possibly do that in my own house? "Leave me...!" seizing myself out of my shock, I struggled but he hushed putting his finger on his lips as if I was a kindergarten child. "Shh..." My forehead creased and my heart almost thumped out of my chest beating so fast and louder that could be heard out. He clenched his fist on my shoulders, staring at me. I lost my voice as it could mute anyone for sure as he was just a few inches away from me and his strong a
Juliette's point of view... My sister is an artist, not a normal one, of course. There is a sense of abnormalities in each of her art pieces. However, I find it a bit unusual, but she is quite famous. She holds a gallery of her own and surprisingly some fans love her work. Surprisingly...! Oh... Yeah...! I need to admit it. He walked in and in just a few minutes they walked out looking at each other, giggling. I never saw Anna being so intimate to anyone, especially men. She had only one die hard friend, Rubia who is more than a sister to her. I can certify that if I and Rubia were on a sinking ship, she would choose to save her over me. That's what my sister is...! Getting back to the point, When I saw my sister being comfortable with that stranger, I swore to myself that I would never drool over him again. It's settled then. I programmed my mind to set the very point that he was a no to me. I must avoid him just like a plague. Yes...! That's what he is to me from now on..
Juliette's point of view... "I need a distraction Scarlett...!" I almost yelled grabbing my head in my hands, "I want it so badly." Whenever I try to do my work, those words echo in my ears. Meet me in my office...! Who the hell does he think he is? I was supposed to avoid him, right? "Distraction...!" she screamed looking at me, "It's about time... Let's go...!" I asked for a distraction not frustration...! In just a fraction of second, I was dragged out of the campus, by her and I know where she was taking me. Soccer ground...! The senior's match...! Ugh...! I don't want to go...! It was one of those days. Too hot and too bright.I sighed and covered my eyes with my hands, shielding them from the scorching sun as I tried to look around. I saw a wide expanse of the football field and those who were here to see it. The stadium was rustling with students loitering around but most of them were hurrying to get under a shade as the match was about to start. Scarlett had a sp
Juliet's point of view... I turned to see the one holding my hand behind me. A girl with a weird make up and her hair tied up in a pony tail along with her, a few more wearing the same minute skirt circled me. This is going to be very hard...! "Look, I don't know what's wrong with her, that it all happened, but she started it first" I tried to explain it but that wasn't working at all."Did you hit her, Did you just hit Amy...!" she gritted, Uhh...!Not again...!"Yes, she did it...! Deb..." The one on the floor shouted, and the one before me, Deb moved toward me as if some kind of gangster was here to fight with me.Ridiculous...!"What the hell, do you guys think we are? Are we in kindergarten?" I snapped and tried to get away, but she grabbed my arm and yanked me back.I almost tripped but stood holding her shoulder. I think this is gonna be big.Why do I always get involved in the fights that I don't want to...?The one on the floor, Amy stood up, and Deb came closer, grabbing
Juliette's point of view... I imagined all the wild things, that he might pin me on the wall again or something else and just the imagination made my cheeks flush. Goosebumps crept all over my skin. And I literally quivered for a second. But...! He didn't do anything. Reaching out for some files on his table, he grabbed one of them and walked towards me. "These are some basics" he began scrolling the sheets, "You care for those extra twenty points, don't you?" his eyes bore into mine when he added. Not even a single phrase has gone in my head."Miss Juliett...!" he called me back and I was pulled to the reality and nodded vigorously. Leaving the warm air stuck inside my lungs, I sided and stepped forward taking the file. He grabbed my hand and I froze. What now...!! "Umm...! That...!" he hesitated while his fingers rubbing his nose bridge, he gulped and I could see that luring adam's apple moving up and down again. I should act normal...! I patted myself a few times internally.
