Chapter 22: Chapter 22
The whole class stood up when Mrs Anna Mathews walked in.
By the time Emma stood up to greet the teacher, the rest of the class had already gotten seated after wishing the professor. The lazy bum was too slow.
"Why are you still standing Ms Hart? Don't waste my time. Sit down and open your books." Mrs Mathews said placing the doll in a corner.
The doll is really very ugly.
Aren't dolls supposed to be pretty?? Emma wondered in confusion. Her dolls were all pretty.
The rumour is that Mrs Mathews is childless and considers the doll as her child.
She carries the doll everywhere she goes.
The doll comes in different clothing on each day. What a weird lady?
She had even heard that Mrs Mathews dresses the doll in the university Jersey during any inter college festivals.
The doll is university's unofficial mascot. Too weird.
What kind of weird people does this university has?
Emma stared at the doll and scrunched her nose.
Even the Chucky doll looked prettier than this.
What will Mrs Mathews do if the doll goes missing?
Emma grinned..
She could kidnap it. Then ask for a ransom.
That would be a wonderful idea.
A free period a week for one month. That would be the best ransom for the ugly doll.
And maybe she can give hints to some of her friends that it's she who kidnapped the silly doll.
No proof! Only rumour.
That would make her the college badass.
Wow!! She can image herself getting down from her own new sports bike, all bad girl style and people parting away giving her way to walk in.
Which motorcycle should she buy??
How about a Harley Davidson.
She could name it Mozzarella. Or maybe Margarita!
"Emma Hart,"
She could even appoint some girls from her class as her side chicks.
"Emma Hart,"
And they will fall over themselves to do whatever she wants. How cool would that be!
Emma sighed dreamily.
"Emma Hart"
"Present Ma'am," Emma said, raising her hand and loud laughter broke out in the classroom.
Emma pulled a stop to her train of thoughts when a fire breathing dragon stood in front of her.
Okay!! That might be an exaggeration. But hey, it came close.
"This is not a place for day dreaming, Ms Hart. If you find my class boring, you can get the hell out of here." The professor screamed in anger.
Emma sighed and packed her bag.
She had always found Mrs Mathews's classes boring and was tempted to walk out many times, but always stopped thinking that would hurt the old woman’s feelings.
Now that Mrs Mathews herself is giving the permission, why should she sit here and bear with the boring class.
She stood up with her bag all ready to walk out when she saw her classmates looking at her with disbelief.
Oh no!! The professor was being sarcastic!
Emma smiled sheepishly at the professor and sat back.
"Get out, Ms Hart," the professor screamed and she ran for her life.
“I'm in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body
Oh-I-oh-I-oh-I-oh-I
I'm in love with your body
Oh-I-oh-I-oh-I-oh-I” she sang as she skipped along the corridor towards the cafe.
"Oyee, you!! Come here," she heard someone shouting and turned to see that they were pointing at her.
"Me???" She asked, pointing a finger towards herself.
"Can you see anyone behind you??" He asked.
"Of course no!! How can I when I don't have eyes behind my head?? But I can always turn around and check," she said, turning around and looking.
"Okay!! No one is behind me." She said and stood in front of them with a beaming smile.
The two guys were sitting on the corner bench and another guy was standing in front of them with his head hung low.
The boys sitting there turned to the guy and asked.
"You saw her?? So did you like her??" One of them asked.
Emma felt offended.
How can he ask such a question to the poor boy.
"Of course he likes me. Haa, I haven't met him before, but now that I have, I am pretty sure he will definitely like me. In fact, everyone likes me. Everyone except that stupid little devil, Mila. But we don't have to count her. She is just jealous of me... "
"What the!" One of the boys who is sitting there frowned at her and she frowned back.
"Look girl. We are your seniors. You will give respect okay. Talk only when we ask you to. Now shut up," the other boy said and Emma made a gesture of zipping her mouth.
The boys again turned to the shy boy.
"Now propose to her," and the shy boy's eyes widened in horror and Emma's eyes lit up in excitement.
OMG!! No one has ever proposed to her before!
Oh please someone take a video, her mind screamed.
The boy still looked at the ground.
"What?? You don't like her??" Senior boy no 1 asked.
Let's call them S1 and S2
The shy boy shook his head.
"What?? So you like her??"
"He totally does," Emma said grinning and S2 glared at her.
"Didn't I tell you to shut up,"
"Ooops"
"Okay! Alan, here is too shy. What is your name??" S1 asked her.
"Emma Hart"
"Okay Emma! As Alan here is too shy, why don't you propose to him?" S2 asked, smirking at her.
"Really?? Wow!! This is my first time proposing." She said grinning and turned to Alan.
"Alan, my love" she said dramatically and Alan looked at her in horror.
Emma turned sideways to see the seniors looking at her with amusement.
"Carry on. We are enjoying it." S1 said and took out his phone to take the video.
Emma turned back to Alan and got down on her knees.
"I love you. I love you so much. You can be my prince and I can be your princess. You can be the butterflies I feel in my belly. You can be the chills I feel on our first date. Will you marry me? Please say yes!" Emma said, taking Alan's hand in hers.
Zian stared at her stunned.
