Salman's POV

During the break I couldn't eat since there wasn't enough of time. My tummy started grumbling and I opened my lunch box to eat the bun which I brought to eat in the morning. Sir Hamdi was at class. Since I was seated at the last row, he could barely see me. I quickly gulped a morsel whenever he was busy looking at the book or putting the sums on the board.

I saw Omar hinting from the front row telling that he's hungry too. Edgar who was sitting next to me grabbed the box from me and had a bite. Then he passed to the row which was in front of ours. The box passed to all six of us and when it was with Omar, Sir Hamdi felt something fishy was going on and inquired about it. 

Omar hid the box under his desk and he couldn't reply because his mouth was stuffed with the bun. He pretended like he turned behind to ask something from us and tried hiding his face. Kaym who was sitting next to Omar answered Sir and tried to calm down the situation. Luckily Sir didn't go deep into the matter and if he did we would've had to write another project or something.

Juliet's POV

We have history now and it was one of the subjects which all of us hated. We sometimes fall asleep in this period. We had a male teacher for it and he was young, maybe in his early 30's and seemed like he hadn't married yet. But he was strict. We couldn't play the fool in his period because he was stern, but better than the Sinhala teacher. 

He's Sir Tim. He started acting cool with our class and favored us than any other class in the school. We did nothing to him, we aren't very good students in his period as well. The boys are better with him and studies really hard in history but he hated them and preferred us over them for some reason which we didn't understand.

When days passed by I realized Sir Tim acts weird only with me. Weekly we shift the places where we sit. The week I sat at the right side of the class, Sir Tim stood by the right side of the class and taught and the week I sat by the left side of the class, Sir Tim stood by the left side of the class as he taught. Whenever he teaches he looks at me and teach, as if though I am the only student in the class.

This is getting awkward and I hate it. I informed Aliza, Olivia and Anna too about this. We thought of shifting places everyday just to see where he stands in class as Aliza suggested. There was no change. The day I sat on the right side of the class he too stood on the right and the day I sat on the left side of the class he too stood on the left.

I was very furious at him and ignored him most of the time. I never answered the questions he asked and pretended like I was not interested in history. Whenever I didn't do the homework, he excused me but if the others didn't do, he punished them.

I wish this bastard leaves the school. I have no freedom here when he's around. He always calls me personally and asks me if I understood the lesson or if I had any doubts. Aliza makes sure that she's with me whenever sir calls me and if he doesn't permit her inside the staffroom or a classroom, she stands outside watching me till I come out.

Once I stood at the hallway talking to Sir Tim while Aliza stood a little away from me, when I saw Salman coming from the opposite direction, he gave Sir Tim a deadly glare and proceeded. Then he stopped at Aliza and was talking to her till I come as he left a while after I went back to Aliza. 

Salman's glare and the way he showed his protectiveness was cute. Maybe he was feeling sorry for me and wanted to protect me as a friend of his, because I too belong to the clique and we care for each other no matter what the situation is.

..........

Even after getting punished regarding Sir Hamdi, we still play with him but we do have our limits and assure that he's in a good mood to bare up with us. He's hot tempered because of his old age maybe and has a very little amount of patience but at the same time he forgets our mistakes and is kind to us as well. We do love him.

The students are less in number today, while he was doing the lesson, Olivia, who was sitting next to me passed a piece of paper in which it was written

"Sharp at 10:15am, stare at the carved area in the wall at our left. Pass it around"

I passed to Aliza and then she passed to Anna. Most of the time Olivia gives lame ideas and only sometimes it is successful. It was 10:15 in just a few minutes and as she told all four of us started staring at the same direction as if though we can see something there. The rest of the students in our class too started looking at that place trying to find out what were we looking at. After Sir finished his sums on the board he turned at us and found almost the whole class looking at the same direction.

"Ok children. Copy these su....." he stopped "What is there?" and turned behind to look at it.  We kept on staring as he repeated his question trying to find out what was it.

"We don't know Sir. Everyone else was looking there so I also looked" stated a guy.

Sir Hamdi started questioning each and every student in class as he got back the same reply. Then he came to the first row where we were seated and inquired us. We did not want to put Olivia into trouble again, so we too answered the same as the others. When it was Olivia's turn, I thought she would tell something else to annoy Sir, but she didn't, maybe she'd learnt a lesson previously, so she too replied the same as us.

Finally Sir couldn't find out who the culprit who started this, and was exasperated because he couldn't finish explaining. 

Sometimes we do things like this just to pass on the time, if we aren't in a mood to study. He left the class irritated and blaming, but I don't think he'll make this a big issue since he didn't seem like he was in a very bad mood.

Hi people. The chapter isn't that great I guess? DW it's going to get interesting :)

Always Sir Hamdi gets caught for all their pranks is it? Poor Sir Hamdi :/ ;)

What do you guys think about this new character, Sir Tim? Why does he favor the girls? How does he feel about Juliet? Will Juliet get used to him and start liking him? Or will she hate him and divert his attention? What is Salman's reaction regarding that?
