OTHER SIDE OF HIM
She could feel her heart thumping out loud, she almost got carried away by the new feeling immersing in her. Then she came to her sense and shifted back, cut the kiss, and looked at Jace, their eyes met and they both stood up abruptly, almost at once, feeling awkward. Jace uses his palm to rub the back of his lap and uses the second to scratch the back of his hair, not looking at Kate
" I… I will… Get… Going then" she said and scurried away.
" HU… Right," Jace bowed, not knowing what he was doing, and heaved a sigh of relief as he saw her left. He smiled and ran his hand through his hair.
Kate got to a corner and stopped. Her heart was still beating fast.
" Holy God, I almost died," She said and touched her soon explode heart
" That never resist charm of his," She said and touched her lips, and then she smiled, blushing, and she covered her face and left.
Jace got to the class and saw Louis almost out of breath, rushed to Kelvin with a sandwich in his hand. He looked at Kate's seat, and she wasn't there.
" Where on earth is sh....." He was saying when she arrived through the back door, and he rushed to his seat.
Kelvin came to the front with a smirk and his right hand on Louis's shoulder. Louis fixes his Glasses, sweating and still breathing profusely, still out of breath.
" Guys, since our teacher is not around, how about this young master tell us a story, or could he perhaps dance for us?" Kelvin said, referring to Louis, grinning, and his gang at the back all laughing.
Kelvin turned to Louis, "I did prefer you to tell us a story, your dance is boring, I can't stand it" Kelvin said with a disgusted look and his gang burst into laughter.
Kitty stood up immediately, furious
" You must be thrilled to bully your classmate, huh?" Kitty said, almost warmly but in a cold and furious tone.
" Vice President, don't be a fun killer, the fun is about to start. Even the obnoxious class president is really curious and looking forward to it"' Kelvin said, smirking. Kitty left the classroom angrily.
Jace looked at Kelvin, he didn't also know why he didn't stop him this time. Maybe perhaps he was avoiding eye contact with Kate. But what for? He never knows why. He looked away from Kelvin.
Kelvin turned to Louis, kicking him.
" Tell us a very interesting story," Kelvin said, grinning, he seemed to be enjoying this.
" I… Once… Upon… I…" Louis stammered and Kelvin looked at him, annoyed
" You are ruining my fun," Kelvin said, frustrated and ready to kick him again when Jace stopped him and walked up to him
" I will do it instead of him," Jace said and Kelvin smiled with evident satisfaction as if he has been expecting it
" Whoa…." The students said, surprised.
" Hero Jace"
" He has never been like this" The class murmured
" Jace to the rescue," Kelvin said, with a satisfied smile at the corner of his lips
" I'm not that good at storytelling but what about a dance? I'm a knack for dancing," Jace said and a murmur of surprise aroused among the students. Jace stared at Kate and their eyes met, then she quickly looked away
" Woo-hoo" Shouted one of Kelvin's gangs
" I never knew our class president had this wonderful side of his," Kelvin said mockingly and sat on the chair
" What can we do? I don't know which music will suit your taste" Kelvin pouted and then someone rushed in
" Have you forgotten the king of music is here?" Donald said, using his both hands to brush his hair back, and some girls ogle over him. Nala shot them a dreadful look, irritated by their reaction, still avoiding eye contact with him
" I almost forgot Mr. Idol, "Jace said and Donald looked at him proudly.
" Donald to the rescue," Donald said and brought out his MP3. Music soon filled the whole class and Jace danced. The students soon crowded around him except Ethan who left the class angrily and Kate climbed a chair to see him since others have blocked her view.
The head teacher, a fat and hairless man, walked up to Mr. James with his bulging tummy and there were lines on his forehead, indicating how furious he was
" JAMES!!!!! YOUR CLASS IS MAKING A HELL OF NOISE!" He hollered, his brow furrowed. His eyes became big, and his saliva almost landed on his face. Mr. James stood up, his right hand over his left hand, and he put them down
" I apologize, I will go check on them," He said, almost like a gentle little kid and the head teacher wanted to say a word, pointing at him and he stopped and left. Mr. James sighed and saw his fellow teachers give him a look' Thank your creator' Everyone knows the head teacher, always like that, getting angry and punishing students as he wished. He quickly rushed toward his class before the heartless teacher changed his mind and punished them.
As expected, it was true, Music was bumping out of his class. He wondered where Jace was because he knew this won't have happened if he was in the class.
When he got to the class, his jaw dropped and he adjusted his glasses, he couldn't believe what he was seeing,
"J… JA... JACE?!" he was surprised to see that Jace was the one for the cause of this. He was speechless.
****
" Huahhh" Donald groaned, frustrated as he cleaned the glass
" I shouldn't have come to your class," He said
" As if someone invites you in the first place," Jace said, also cleaning, and looked at Kate who was picking the nylons
" I can't believe they drag girls to this," Jace said and Donald groaned again
" Worst punishment ever!" Donald snorted.
*******
At closing time, Nala walked up to Kate who was at the gate,
" Kate, how about we go home without the boys today?" She asked and Kate looked at her, it was as if she was reading her thoughts,
" Right? That's what you are also thinking about? I'm in!" Kate said with a smile and they both left.
Jace walked up to Donald,
" How about we go home without the girls today?" Jace asked and Donald looked at him
" Great mind think alike!" he said as if expecting him to say that and they both leaves
On the road, Donald kept noticing that his friend was half smiling
" Something happened between you and Kate isn't it?" Donald asked and Jace looked at him and smiled
" Something did happen," Donald said
" You? Did something happen? It's unlike you to go home without your Nala" Jace asked and Donald looked at him,
" It's… It's…" Donald said and Jace moved closer to him, curious and expecting him to say it,
"It's… It's."
" Spilled it out already!" Jace snapped at him,
" It's…." Jace looks at him, expecting him to split it out,
"It's… Forget about it!" He said instead and Jace groaned In frustration, wrapped his hand around his neck, and brought down his head
" It's… It's hurt" Donald said and Jace released him
" You? It's unlike you too" Donald asked, fixing his collar.
Then Jace smiled,
" Something really did happen. Did you guys kiss?" Donald said teasingly and Jace smiled. His eyes brighten,
" What? You…." Donald stopped and Jace smiled at him
" You are my model, Jace," Donald said, tapping his shoulder.
" so are you guys now dating?"
"Not yet"
" Why?" Donald asked and instead, Jace smiled.
Donald nodded, knowing his friend did not want to talk about it.
" Well, it's nice to see you smile like this!" Donald shouted, throwing him a friendly punch and they both smiled, heading home…
