Chapter 31: Chapter 31

Navaeh.

Pushing the door to the Teacher's office open, I saw a bunch of teachers talking about random stuffs which they all kept quiet once I was there.

"Good Morning." I greeted.

Some answered with grunts and some cheerfully. I definitely don't want to become a teacher.

"Navaeh. Come in. Come in."

"Good Morning, Mrs Elsher." I greeted walking towards her.

"Morning dear. I see you got my message?" She said and I nodded my head.

"Good. Good. I want you to help me with the collection of the assignments. The ones I gave when you were not in class? Oh right, that reminds me. Are you feeling okay now?" She asked.

"Yes ma'am." I replied and she grinned.

"So I need the assignments on my desk in the class by lunch. Here..." She paused rummaging through her locker. I heard keys jangling before she pulled it out to reveal... Keys. A bunch of them.

"Here's the key to my class. Just open it and place the assignments on the table."

I looked down at the keys in my hand and almost blew up in surprise. There was like 20 keys in this bunch and she doesn't even tell me which one it is?! I'm not a fucking genius to know which one it is! Am I supposed to try every key in this bunch?

"Umm Miss-"

"Is there any problem?"

We spoke at the same time and I blinked. I looked down at the keys and then back at her face to see her eyes on the keys as well.

"Did I give you the wrong keys?" She asked and I almost scoffed.

"I have no idea, ma'am."

"I guess we'll just have to find out." She said and grinned.

We? More like I!

I gritted my teeth lowly and gave her a tight smile walking out of the room without even acknowledging the rest of the teachers.

"Bring the keys when you're done!" I heard her annoying voice behind me as the door swung close forcefully at the force that I used to pull it open in the first place.

"Of course, I'll bring your stupidly numerous keys when I'm done! But I guess that's why they call it a fucking bunch!" I grunted and walked away from the room to my first class.

"Miss Thatcher, you're late." The teacher said as soon as I stepped foot into the class. Like I don't know that!

"I'm sorry sir." I apologized pushing the key into the side of my bag and walked to my seat.

"Just don't be late to my next class." He said again and I almost slapped him. Okay, I admit... My hormones are getting the better of me.

But, really?! Dude, have I ever been late to your damned class?!

I slammed my butt on the seat and took a deep breath releasing it.

The bell rung earlier than usual– maybe to me– and I was grateful for it. I packed my note and walked out of the class first. Then I turned around.

"Sorry, if you're in baking class... Please come and submit your assignment to me when you're free and it must be before Break. Thank you." I said and turned on my heels.

"Hey, Navaeh!" I heard from behind me and I turned to see a brunette running towards me.

"Here's my assignment." She said stretching the pizza box to me.

"Oh cool. Thanks." I said and collected it.

Soon, my hand was filled with Pizza Boxes. People from Baking classes used their oh so good initiative and handed me their box without me even having to ask them for it.

"Hey, Pizza girl!" I heard someone say with a hint of smile in their voice and I rolled my eyes.

"Hold." I said and passed the stack of boxes to Zaire who collected it with a hmph!

I pushed a key into the keyhole and turned it. It didn't turn!

Tried another one, it didn't turn!

Tried another one, it's still didn't fucking turn!

"I'm sorry, don't you know the key?" Quinnel asked.

"Obviously, genius." I replied with a roll of my eyes.

On the tenth key, it finally turned easily and the door opened with a click. I heard a sigh beside me and I turned my head to see Zaire almost breaking a sweat. Almost.

"Oh my, Quin! Why didn't you collect half of it?" I questioned immediately relieving the poor boy of his stress. He didn't even eat a slice of this pizza. Hell, he wasn't in this class!

"He looked like he could handle it." Quinnel replied with a shrug and both mine and Zaire's head snapped to him.

The bell rung and I cursed pushing the door open and immediately dumped the whole pizza boxes on the table.

I added mine and I turned around.

"Well, aren't you going to class? Go on... Go go." I shooed them away and immediately locked the door after me. I would return the key to her after class.

Running through the sea of people, I finally made it to my locker as I pulled it open almost as fast as the padlock came open. I pulled out my English textbook and ran to my class just in time for the tardy bell to ring.

The teacher entered and class started. Today is way too hectic for me. I cleaned the invisible sweat off my face and sighed.

"Hey, you okay?" I heard from beside me and I turned my head to see Quinnel.

"Oh, Quinnel... I just want to sleep." I mumbled and he chuckled rubbing my head.

I chuckled and rest my back further on the chair and closed my eyes.

"Sleeping? You do know this man is like going yell out your name?" He muttered and I chuckled and laughed.

"Anything you want to share with the class, Miss Thatcher?" I heard and I snapped my eyes open and sat up straight before I stood up slowly.

"Not that I know of sir." I said and he pursed his lips before he motioned for me to sit down.

"Joy Killer." I said sitting down and Quinnel chuckled quietly.

"Today is very- ugh! I've been to Mrs Elsher... That woman gave me a bunch of keys and won't tell me which one it is! Would you believe that?" I asked him and he nodded his head.

"That's why she was calling you?" He asked tapping his pen on the table while keeping his eyes on the teacher.

"Yup. I wish I didn't go. I'm starting to hate her!" I said and groaned.

"One more word from you, Miss Thatcher and it's Detention for you." Mr Bills said and I smiled at him before I rolled my eyes when he turned his head away
