"Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it."

Kera POV

6 yrs ago

"Kera you've been working too hard now you must take some rest," my mother said as she entered my room.

"No mom if I don't complete this I'll not get good grades"I spoke in the same tone as my mother.

I faced my mom and she gave me a blank look. I couldn't help it.

I looked at the clock in front of me...

1:23 am

I grabbed the blue pen in my hands and looked at the project work in front of me...

'Trigonometric applications..'

I sighed and told myself I could complete it...

I was, what you call, the loser of my class. but this doesn't mean I didn't make any effort to score well.I tried my best to get good grades but failed every single time.all my efforts and hard work would go into waste.it may sound fake but it's the truth. Out of all subjects I hated one subject the most.and this was,

Mathematics

I know most of the people would say stuff like 'ooh math is a piece of cake' but not for me...

I get the worst grades in maths.

It's way too difficult with me.

although I put in a lot of effort, I still don't get the result I should be getting.

At least that's what I think.

Cuz there was another culprit behind this.

Panic attacks

Yes, I get panic attacks. whenever I write my math exam, I always end up having it.

Out of nowhere, my hands start to shake as negative thoughts appear in my mind.this results in me failing my exam and me running to the washroom to stop myself from crying ...

It's always the same

I finally complete the project and write my name on it with a black marker pen...

I look at the time.

3:00 am

"Well, I guess I'll be getting the only 3hrs of sleep this time"I mumbled as I made way towards my bed...

I lay down on my bed and pull the sheets.

"Don't worry Kera, one day you will be very successful and everyone will look up to you. Just don't lose hope"

I said to myself as a tear rolled down my cheek and a sad smile stretched across my face.

I close my eyes shut and drifted off to dreamland.

Anonymous POV

I always pitied her seeing like this.

I understand her pain but don't worry.

I'll be there to help you...

There are only a few people who are successful in life.

And you'll be one of them...

Because I will make sure of that...

Morning

Kera POV

I woke up when I heard the alarm ring.

I looked at my watch

6:00 am

I lazily made my way to the bathroom to get dressed up.

I wore my school uniform and made my hair into a neat ponytail to look presentable.

I made my way to the kitchen to see what my mom had prepared for breakfast.

"Pancakes!" I said exclaimed with joy latched to my voice as I looked at it happily.

"Yup, I know it's your favourite .since you worked so hard, I decided to make them for you" my mother gave me a warm smile and then went back to cleaning the house.

"Thanks, mom" and without wasting any more time, I started eating the pancakes and soon finished it.

I said bye to mom and made my way to school. I was walking casually to my school.

It was far, but, not that far so instead of taking the bus I always decided to walk as I always woke up early. My school started at 7:30 and I always reached school by 7:00 am so it was no big deal as I could never be late

I looked at my watch.

6:48 am

And continued walking...

AT SCHOOL

I reached school and entered my class but I was shocked to see that the class had started and my class teacher had already started taking the attendance.

My teacher glared at me as I tried to make way towards my seat.

"Ms Kera you are late!" She said in a loud voice which frightened me.

"Y-yes ma'am" I answered stuttering as she scared the shit out of me.

"And why is that?" she glared making her way towards my desk while all my classmates were whispering.

I didn't what to say since I was never late.

"I guess I overslept"I made a lame excuse just to get this topic over with.

"Make sure it doesn't happen next time Kera"she spoke in a pretty creepy monotone voice.

I looked at my watch

7:49 am

This was odd...

'I took the same route, as usual, to come to school but how come I'm so late? I even checked the time earlier.'

I thought while clicking my pen.

'I guess I walked too slow-'my thoughts were interrupted as I heard the class teacher clap a few times to get the students' attention.

"Class meet your new mathematics teacher, Mr Kim"

I looked up to see a tall lean man with tan skin wearing grandma glasses.

And he looked familiar.

And I even recognised his voice but couldn't recall it.

I couldn't see him clearly as I didn't wear my glasses yet.

I looked around the class just to find girls drooling over him and the guys getting jealous

This was normal.

"Goodmorning class, I'm your new math teacher as your class teacher said. I hope we cooperate and I'm sure I'll make you fall in love with math"

Yup, every subject teacher says the same.

NO ONE POV

Kera went back to writing her notes as usual.

But Little did Kera know that her new math teacher was about to make her life turn 180° opposite of what she was living right now.
