Chapter 5 5

♦Me: A hug and I'll let you pass... We're not in the neighborhood now so you're afraid of your mom, right?

I had botched the road, she was trying somehow to release me again but can not. Suddenly, we hear from afar, the director shouting while questioning us.

♦Director: (from a distance) What are you two doing here?

♦Rose: Oh! Shit ! Director (trying to hide his face) Do you see what you just did? Now are you happy?

♦Director: (coming closer to us) Are you deaf or what? You do not answer ?

♦Rose: (stuttering) I...I wou...We were about to...discuss....

She really didn't know what to answer and I was standing all cushy as if there was no one in front of us. I'm really afraid of nothing. Nobody gives me food and it's not going to school that will make me really rich, I often tell myself, but that doesn't mean that I'm disrespectful.

♦Director: Are you talking? What are you talking about at this hour in the toilet?

♦We:( Silent!)...

♦Headmaster: (annoyed) Didn't I tell you that no one should be out during class time? And you, do you have the audacity to go out and chat while the others are in the classroom learning?? Go wait for me in my office right away!

Rose hurried past me toward the principal's office. I can read in his innocent face, a blue fear mixed with sadness, this sadness that puts all the blame on me. The manager wasn't going to send us to his office if she told him the truth and I'm surprised she didn't tell him. This girl has a heart of gold and I need it. I can't tell if it was herself she was protecting or me, otherwise if she had bothered to say what really happened, I would be the only one in the principal's office right now.

In the director's office, her head down, she didn't dare give me a single glance, but I looked at her as if nothing had happened. I have the impression that she was flowing with tears and I am taken by comparison. It's all my fault.

A few minutes later, the director appears and puts his buttocks in his wheelchair, observing us with a stern look.

♦Director: So tell me the truth, what were you doing in front of the toilet earlier? Please tell me the truth or your punishment will be heavier than the weight of a rock.

♦Rose: (sad voice) We were in... Spirit....

I didn't give him the choice to continue talking in his sad voice before speaking.

♦ Me: She has nothing to do with it sir. I was in class when I saw him going to the bathroom. I asked permission to go out and I caught him preventing him from going in. It wasn't to bother her, but I wanted her to explain something to me that I hadn't quite understood.

♦Director: Explain a concept to you?

♦Me: (convinced) Yes sir!

♦Director: And you couldn't wait until the end of class to ask him?

♦Me: I wasn't sure I'd see her during recess. Besides, I have class at 10 a.m. and the teacher doesn't usually come after hours. If I had stopped the idea of ​​going to see him in class, it's because I didn't want to disturb her while she was revising.

He looked at me from head to toe as if he suspected something, but I looked calm and very sure of myself.

♦Director: Is that true? (Speaking to Rose)

♦Rose: Yes sir, that was what happened.

He was silent for a few minutes before allowing us to leave but with warnings.

♦Director: Let this be the first and the last time that I still surprise outside telling you nonsense during class hours. The next time I see you again, you'll see what I'm warming up about. You're lucky that I'm in a good mood today since it's my birthday and I don't want to punish you otherwise, you know me very well. Now get out of my office!

Angrily, Rose stormed out of the office to get ahead of me. After her, I was about to get my second step out of the office when the manager called me back.

♦Director: What is it

your first name ?

♦Me: Uh... Me?

♦Director: Yes!

♦ Me: Brek.

♦Director: Brek!? The first responsible for the first D?

♦Me: Yes, that's me.

♦Director: As a manager do you behave like that? It's not good. If you do this, what will the others do? Didn't you know that a class leader is like the eldest of a family? His precedents follow the steps of his behavior and if his steps follow a bad voice, it means that the others will follow the same path and you will all be lost. Need to correct yourself ok? I don't want this to happen again, otherwise you'll get bad news from me and above all, leave the little girls alone.

♦Me: (simply laughing) I got it sir. Thank you !

♦Director: Please. You can leave.

♦Me: (I smile) Thank you very much! Happy day to you!

When I left the office, Rose was no longer in the yard. I intended to apologize to him, but the director held me back. I know she's mad at me already, that's normal, but I'll find a way to apologize.

****After 7 p.m. lessons****

****In the skin of Rose****

♦Liane: What's happening to you Rose? What's wrong ?

♦Me: Don't worry...

♦Liane: Rose doesn't take me for an idiot. I know you well. You're not the type to make that face when things are going well. Now tell me what's wrong!

Yeah! I am angry. Very angry with Brek. First, I lied to the director with the intention of saving our lives... But what am I talking about!? To save my skin but he preferred to play the guy by telling exactly what happened. Admittedly, he lied a little but it was too good to be false. He kind of made fun of me in front of the manager and that's nothing. The worst thing is that the teacher put me on my knees in front of the whole class because I took time before coming back without being able to justify myself concretely. I hate being humiliated like this and it's all Brek's fault. If he had let me quietly go to the bathroom without disturbing me, none of this was going to happen.

I had no choice but to tell Liane what happened.

♦Liana: Oh! I thought that guy left you alone!?

♦Me: That's what I thought too until he reappeared. I'm too angry with him. I just want to rip his head off.

♦Liane: I understand you but I prefer that you pass the towel now.

♦ Me: Skipping the towel? Skipping the towel for this humiliation? This humiliation he put me through?! It was the worst shame of my life. You know I hate that! I was this close to snapping in front of this stuffed class of my friends and elders. None, I mean no teacher has brought me to my knees or humiliated me in front of a class since I left school since I avoid misbehaving and besides as you know I am always shy and innocent. Whore! What a humiliation! I could have spit on him or bit him when he stuck his fucking dirty face in my face.

♦Liana: Whoo!!! You're really angry, calm down! It's not like you and you can't do it.

♦Me: Not at this time. I just want him to come in front of me so I can take his face off.

♦Liane: Stop saying nonsense. You just had a bad day, don't let that day make your evening dark. You're going to freak out for nothing if you keep thinking about it. Nothing is going to change what happened no matter what you decide to do to him, the best thing is to pretend like nothing happened and know how to put Brek in his place next time. he will introduce himself.

♦Me:(silent)....

♦Liane: Do you receive me there?

♦ Me: Yes, I understood...

♦Liana: Great! Now fix this face for me. You look like a gorilla when you're angry. I didn't say anything huh...

♦Me: (laughing) Shut up! You're more like the zombie.

♦Liane: (laughing)...

We were already a few steps from our houses when, suddenly, I remembered that I had a program with my lover since I had completely forgotten.

♦Me: (panicked) Oh! Shit!

♦Liane: (frightened) What is it?

♦Me: I have a program with Mark?

♦Liana: Mark!? Tomorrow ?

♦Me: No, tonight... I told him I was going to come see him after school because he wants to see me for something I don't know yet.

♦Liane: But it's already late and you know your mother well. She wouldn't be happy if you came home late. Can't you leave for today and tomorrow you'll go see him?

♦Me: No no, he won't be happy and I don't like to piss him off. I must go to his house. Please be my cover.

♦Liane: Your cover? What do you mean ?

♦Me: You're going to come by the house and tell mom that I'm going to be home a little late because I went to a friend's house to pick up a book.

♦Liane: It's too bad as a false reason for camouflage since she will surely ask me why I didn't accompany you.

♦Me: You will tell him that you wanted to but that you had something important to do at home, which is why you let me go alone. Please do it for me, please! (Cat face)

♦Liane: Good! Well, all right... I'll do it but come back quickly huh, please, don't mess up there and be very vigilant.

♦Me: You can count on me. Thanks very much ! You're an angel. Do you know that?

♦Liane: Yeah! I know you talk nonsense when you're drunk and excited to see him.

♦ Me: (laughing out loud).... Well, I'll leave you. I have to leave quickly.

♦Liana: Bye!!!

I quickly take another path on which I walk with a lot of pressure before taking a zem on the main path not far from our neighborhood. Mark's neighborhood is really not far from mine, I could walk to get to his place but as it is dark, I had to take zem to go there and quickly return otherwise I will have to read all the old testament mom to come up with one concrete lie. In other words, I can't lie.

Arriving at Mark's, all excited, I knock on the door but no one came to open the door. Second and third time, nobody answered me yet there is light inside but I don't hear any noise. I didn't keep my cell on me otherwise I was going to call her before I even thought of knocking. As no one answered me, I had to try to open the door myself and he happened not to lock it, a smile of joy on my lips.

I go inside then close the door behind me very slowly like a thief calling his name but still no answer and there, I start to worry. I walk straight to his room, open the door and see his clothes on the floor in the room, which is no wonder he's a mess. I grabbed them and just as I was about to put them in the closet, I started to hear noises coming from her shower. I stopped in my tracks to make less noise in order to capture the sound that I had just heard, maybe I was wrong but no, my ears are in good health to hear badly.

The noise actually came from his shower. I can hear his voice and heavy breathing just fine.... I hear him say words like "Yeah!!" "Oh! Year! Fuck! Fuck!" like what you hear in p*rn*graphic movies. I was seized with fear. At the same time, I start imagining things and if what I imagine in my head is the real reality behind this door, I believe there will be a corpse tonight and that would be me.

To be continued...
