PRESENT

"Hey, Mia!" I called out to my bestie...

"Yea what?" She replied while taking a sip of her iced tea...

"Can you plz pass over the chalk to me?" I said in a loud voice as she was standing pretty far from me.

"Yeah sure!" she approached me and handed over the chalk...

After seven years of hard work and struggle, I had finally achieved success.

And here I am now, as the student of the most prestigious college in the country.

And you guys won't believe if I told you that I developed an interest in math so much that it resulted in me taking up maths for my future.

It was all because of my favourite math teacher Mr Kim. He was such an amazing teacher. His style.how the formulas flew out of his mouth with such ease. The jokes he cracked. The way he used to motivate us.

In conclusion, he was just marvellous.

But one thing was peculiar about him...

His skin.

The problem I saw that he sometimes looked pretty young.

It's not that I am drooling or fantasising about him.

But the thing I mean is.

He did not look like a normal human.

Back in my school days. I was a lazy fool. TRUST ME.

And my mind would just malfunction when I was in school. Malfunction in the sense, I would be finding interest in the utmost stupid and non-sensible things.

For example, one day our bio teacher was performing practicals with our class.

What would an average student do? pay attention ofc.

But I being extra smart, notice an ugly lizard in the corner of the class and when the students tried hard to do the practicals, I, on the other hand, tried to cut the tail of the Lizard and see whether the tail would regenerate or not.

Hence I observed many things.

And this led me to see the undefinable things he did secretly during class.

I often used to see Mr.kim hiding his rashes and he always wore full sleeves.

He sometimes just vanished away for days and when the students used to ask the substitute teacher

Mrs.wazowski, she just replied that he had gone to his hometown and would be back soon.

He often changed his phone and his phone number which made me think how rich he was to change his phone so often.

You won't believe me if I say this but...

I even saw his face cracking sometimes which he tried to hide by pretending to be on a phone call.

And believe me.

This for sure was creepy...
