Chapter 3 Mr Jaxon

After the meeting with the vice counsellor, we finalized everything and signed the necessary documents before we were given our timetable and luckily for us it was almost the same

We asked for direction from one of the students that came across us to the physics class since that is what we are having first.

"We are a bit early. Thank goodness there's no teacher yet" I said as I opened the door of the physics class and walked in.

"Ignore them" Ryan said to me as soon as everyone's attention was fixed on us again but I couldn't take it anymore

I knew I had to do something to get them to stop.

I walked over to the desk in front of the class, close to the maker board and bang hard on it making most of the students flinch.

"STOP STARING!" I said in a stern tone and everyone turned their attention away from me and continued what they were doing, though some still stole glances at I and ryan

"Thank You" I said before moving back to Ryan.

"You are crazy" he said

"I know" I said with an eye roll

We searched for empty seats but the ones we saw were singles

We finally saw two at the middle of the class and went for it.

We both sat beside each other

"Ryan"

"Yes?"

"I had a weird dream today"

"What was it all about?"

"It was all about the same guy I met at the mall. I call the dream weird because in the dream we were close, so close. We even went out on a romantic dinner date with lights and candles. I even had the dream a night ago" I said and he let out a loud laughter causing the whole class to look at us and quickly mouthed a "sorry" before turning back to me

"You don't believe me? Wait... You think I'm lying?"

"I think you're crazy" he said and before I could reply him the door sprang open and the guy from the mall walked in

"Good morning all"

"Good morning sir" Everyone choroused except for me.

My eyes was wide open yet I couldn't believe my eyes.

"For a concise introduction. I'm Mr jaxon and I would be taking you on physics. I'm sure you all already know the last part" he picked up a maker from the table and wrote *MACHINE* on the board, in big bold handwriting.

He turned to face the class and immediately he did his eyes came in contact with mine.

Holly molly!

He had a surprise look at first but it soon turn into a smirk.

"What is machine?" He asked and several students put up their hands including Ryan, but excluding me

I had little idea and I wouldn't wanna stand up and answer his question in front of the whole class

"You" he said as he pointed at me, taking me aback.

Me?????

"My hands are down" I said and he gave me the *GET UP NOW* look so I had no other option than to get up since the whole class attention was now on me

"A machine is anything that reduces human effort" I said

"Can you please elaborate?" he asked with a smile.

I knew there was something delivish behind that smile.

I looked down at Ryan and he gave me the *GO ON* look and I have him the *I DON'T KNOW MORE THAN THAT* look

"We are waiting" he said and I quickly figured out the perfect excuse

"I need to pee" I said in one breath and rushed into the restroom before he could say a word.

I stood by the door once I was in the restroom so I could hear what they were saying and see what was happening through the small hole on the door

"Anybody else?" Mr Jason asked and this time only Ryan put up his hand

"Yes?" He asks and Ryan stood up

"Sir, machines are any combination of bodies so connected that their relative motions can be transmitted or modified as the screw is nut and turned about a furcrum or pulley about its pelvic. Especially in construction to that is complex, consisting of a combination of moving parts on civil mechanical elements like wheels, lever, etc"

"Very good"

"Thank you sir" Ryan said with a proud smile as he took his seat

I was proud to have Ryan as a friend

How I wish I am like him

"Judging by our past knowledge we can say that......... "

*********

"He did that on purpose. He called me just to make a fool out of me" I kept grumbling as I and Ryan walked down the hallway.

I had spent the rest of the lecture time in the restroom and came out only when Mr jaxon had left the class

Arghh..!

So frustrating

"Cami, I think this is you being ridiculous. That guy doesn't even know you so why would he want to make you look stupid in front of the class?"

"He knows me and I know him too"

"Is this a psycho talking?" He teased and I smacked the back of his head

"Stop talking nonsense. He was the same guy I met at the mall on Saturday"

"The one that destroyed your CD?"

"Uh-hm"kaà

"Wow. It's just your first day and you're in a deep mess already"

"Told ya"

"Since you guys had an argument that day don't you think he would want to get back at you by failing you?"

"I thought so too"

"Babe's you have to go to him. Talk to him and apologize for what happened"

"Hell no!" I frowned

"What do you mean?"

"He wronged me. He broke my CD. He should be the one to apologize, not the other way round"

"Would you want to tell your dad that?" He asked and my facial expression changed into a sad one

"Cami, you just have to do it even if you don't mean it. Do it for your grades"

"Argh! Whatever. It wouldn't be such a bad idea seeing his cute face again"

"Yuck! Don't tell me you have a crush on him already"

"Yeah"

"Ewwwww.."

"Sucks?"

"Yeah" he said and I smacked him hard on the head

"Ouch!" He winced trying to numb the pain.

"Hurts?"

"Yeah" he frowned

"Good" I said and started towards the elevator.

"Meet me at the cafeteria when you're done" he said and walked off

I got into the elevator and got to the fifth floor.

Each door had the name of the person occupying it so it wasn't so hard locating his own.

It was the second to the last office on the left, with a big bold handwriting on it *MR JAXON*

Cool name.

I walked over to the door and knocked on it.

There was no response at first and just when I was about knocking again I heard his deep mascular voice say:

"Come in"

I took a deep refreshing breath before turning the knob.

When I got in I couldn't help but admire the beauty of his of office

It is big and beautiful but of course it wasn't up to the vice counsellor's standard.

Everything was in its place and it made me think of how it will feel like having my own office- crazy thought

"Are you gonna come here or you're just gonna stand there and keep staring like someone that hasn't seen a nice office before?" He asked and I frowned but tried so hard not to retaliate

"Shut up your bush mouth. My dad's office is ten times bigger than this hut you call an office" I wanted to yell at him but I held myself back as I thought of what brought me here.

I wouldn't want to complicate issues the more.

It is true though.

My dad's office at home is very big, thrice as his, just like the vice counsellor's own and his office at work could be used as a hall for an event.

It is very big and spacious, five times the one he has at home and the look is very rich and heavy.

I walked over to hima and sat on the spare chair facing him

"I haven't asked you to sit yet" he said not looking at me as he focused on the stuff he was inscribing in the large note in front of him.

I just rolled my eyes at him since he wasn't looking at me before standing up

"What do you want?"

"I want to make use of your textbook" I said not having the courage to tell him what I am really here for.

I just couldn't bring myself to apologize to me after all he did to me

He scoffs "what happened to the library?"

"I...."

"What do you want?"

"Well I actually came to apologize for how I spoke to you at the mall where we first met" I said and that was when he raised up his head to look at me

"Why?"

"Because I'm a peacemaker"

"Why?"

"Because I thought it was right to"

"Why?"

"That's the reason" I said almost getting frustrated.

"Why?" He asked again and I knew I had to spill out the truth

How he knows that I'm lying, I do not know.

"Because I do not want you to... to give me bad grades because of how I behaved when we first met" I said and he chuckled making me wonder if I said anything funny.

"How old are you?" He asked and I narrowed my eyes at him wondering why he was asking me such personal question when we are having an important discussion

"Eighteen" I answered anyways

"Who's your father?"

"Greyson Levi"

"Is it the Greyson, Levi I know?" He asked but before I could reply he spoke up

"You can go. I don't have any business whatsoever with you miss Grayson"

"It's Camila"I said not liking how the *MISS GREYSON* sounded

He is the first person that has called me that name apart from my workers at home.

"Okay miss Grayson. You can leave now" he said and diverted his attention back to what he was doing before- writing

I gritted my teeth silently before leaving his office.

"Damn him" I gritted under my breath as I made my way yo the super large cafeteria.

It was a handful of students so it was a bit hard to locate Ryan

I was still looking around for him when I saw him waving at me

He had taken a table close to the window and I am glad about that

Going over to him I sat on the second chair, opposite him.

"You like this place?" He asks

"Yeah. You sure know my taste"

"Of course. Twelve years of friendship isn't a thing to joke about" he said and I just shook my head.

That has always being his thing; boasting about our friendship

Plus he is so good at remembering the dates of what has happened or what is gonna happen, but I'm totally the opposite of him.

There was a time I forgot totally about my birthday and it was a huge surprise to me when I woke up to the four guys in my life screaming a happy birthday into my ears.

"We aren't up to twelve years yet"

"Yeah, but we'll soon be. Or don't you remember the date? Twenty fifth of September, two thousand and ten"

Here we go again!

"Ryan our food is getting cold" I said knowing fully well that if I don't change the topic he is gonna start saying our life history to me

"Yeah" he smiled to me as he picked up his cutleries.

He had bought creme brulee for himself and creme caramel for me

"That reminds me, how did it go?"

"What?"

"You know who. Mr jaxon"

"Oh" I muttered almost forgetting that I had gone there.

"He didn't say anything concernong that to me. Just asking me stupid questions and then he asked me out of his office"

"You would have insisted"

"I tried, it's just that he's just so grumpy"

"Anyways I found something"

"What?" I asked and he brought out his phone and handed it to me and looking at the screen I saw a picture of Mr jaxon

He was wearing a white T-shirt with a blue rip jean, giving him that bad boyish look, plus his hair fell on his face covering a little of his dark din glasses and his shoes wasn't so bad

He was sitting on a white couch, one of his legs was on top a brown footstool and he placed a hand on his knee while his other hand was between his legs

Damn! He is damn hot

My mouth was wide open as a result of drooling.

I screwed down and saw other lovely pictures of him with different guyish poses.

"Girl?"

"Wait.... I think I found something" I said as I clicked on his page and saw a little information about him
