Chapter 5 .

(Classes continued as normal and Wesley had given Ashley a little time out to see if she was going to worry a little but nothing so one day, he resumed the course of things. The French teacher gave them themes of exhibited in groups of 6. Coincidentally, Wesley and Ashley find themselves in the same group. Being an intelligent talker, the Teacher appointed him as the group leader.

For this purpose, he had to take the number of his comrades to be able to notify them of when they can work but Ashley categorically refused to give him his number, Wesley begged him in vain and even Laila tries to convince her).

Laila: why are you refusing to give her your number?

Ashley: Do you think he can leave me alone if he has my number?

Laila: but if you don't give him your number, how could he tell you on the day of work?

Ashley: He could warn me at the end of class, right? And besides, if he doesn't, too bad.

Laila: Don't say that Ashley, you know the Teacher said that the notes for this presentation will be the notes for an assignment. Besides, we are in an exam class, forget your personal problems with him and think about your priorities first.

Ashley: I don't give it to her, that's all.

(At the end of the hour, Wesley joins Ashley and Laila before they leave).

Wesley: Please Ashley, you know I haven't bothered you for a month so why won't you give me your number?

Ashley: Because I don't want you to have my number.

Wesley: Ashley, I'm not crazy, you told me you don't want me and I understood so please give me your number, I won't bother you.

Ashley: do you swear to me?

Wesley: Yes.

Driver: Miss, what's going on?

Laila: there's nothing, we're coming.

Ashley: I want to hear you swear to me.

Wesley: The Bible says don't swear but just say yes when it's yes and just say no when it's no.

Ashley: Then I'm not giving you my number.

Wesley: Okay, no problem, Laila, give me her number.

Ashley: If you give it to him, we're more friends.

Laila: Sorry Wesley, I'm her only friend, I'm not going to leave her alone.

Wesley: Alright go ahead your driver is waiting for you, I know how to get that number, small world you know.

(Wesley joins William and they also come in and talk on the way).

William: so, did you get his number?

Wesley: no, and you do you have any?

William: No, this girl never gives her number to anyone.

Wesley: At least you have Laila's, don't you, I don't know why I didn't take her number?

William: yes I have some, take it.

Wesley: Thank you.

(William gives her Laila's number and they each go home. Around 2 p.m., Wesley texts Laila: "Hi Laila, it's Wesley, don't ask how I got your number. I want give me Ashley's number and don't worry, she'll never know it was you who gave it to me, I'm counting on you". A few minutes later, he receives an answer from Laila who gave him Ashley's number and he texted her back thanking her (Laila said to herself).

Laila: I like this boy but he is in love with Ashley whom I consider my sister. If I could know for sure that she really doesn't like him, I wouldn't mind dating him, but I know that somewhere deep down, Ashley feels something for him too. What should I do ? Alright, I'm gonna wait till the end of this term and if she doesn't make up her mind, I'm gonna go into action. I, who was afraid to ask her for her number, now her number came to me all by itself, I didn't look but I found it, thank you God.

(Tomorrow morning at school, Wesley has been standing across the street waiting for Ashley and her girlfriend to arrive. Once the driver drops them off and she walks off without him. see, he hurries to stop the driver who already wanted to leave).

Wesley: Hello sir, excuse me for a moment, I would like to talk to you.

Driver: come in.

(The driver opens the door and Wesley enters).

Wesley: thank you sir, my name is Wesley, often called Wesley.

Driver: I'm Samuel.

Wesley: Delighted Mr. Samuel, I'm delighted to meet you.

Samuel: delighted Wesley, just call me Samuel or Sam and you can call me familiar.

Wesley: Okay, thanks for agreeing to talk to me.

Sam: Okay, what did you want?

Wesley: In fact, I would like to know if you know the girl you just dropped off every day with her friend there, Ashley?

Sam: yes I know her.

Wesley: do you know her well?

Sam: Of course, she is the daughter of my boss, Mr. Matthew.

Wesley: OK, tell me how she is at home.

Sam: Ashley is a very reserved girl, at home she is always calm, she never goes out too much, her only confidante is her mother and her only best friend is Laila. She seems shy but when she's with her parents, she talks like someone else.

Wesley: Okay, does she have a suitor?

Sam: No, Ashley is never interested in the boy, not to my knowledge anyway.

Wesley: Well, uh... Are... Are his parents very strict? Excuse me for asking you this but, are they the mean type who stop their daughter from dating a poor boy?

Sam: no, this family is exceptional, Ashley's parents are the nicest parents in the world, they give their daughter all the freedom, she can do whatever she wants as long as she is aware and responsible for her his actions. You know, they are both Christians and they apply the word of God which says that young, enjoy the life of your youth... But know that God will judge you for all the acts that you will have posed. But most of the time, the youngsters only cut the first part of this speech and forget the warning to drown themselves in the life of debauchery but hey, too bad for them. So like I said, it's a wonderful family, even me, they treat me with respect and dignity, like their son and not just a driver. As for Ashley's mother, I would say without a doubt that she is the mother of humanity.

Wesley: Hearing you talk about them like that, they're sure to be adorable, which is the complete opposite of rich people.

Sam: Indeed.

Wesley: I feel like you and I are fine.

agree so I'm going to tell you a secret, do you promise me that it will stay between us?

Sam: I promise you.

Wesley: You know, I'm madly in love with Ashley but she doesn't calculate me, I don't really know what I have to do to win her heart.

Sam: You know, this girl is very reserved, she's not easy to pin down, but seeing you, I know you're serious, so I'm going to give you some advice. If you really love her, don't give up, love can surprise you know, she pushes you away today but she can love you tomorrow. So here's what you have to do, try to be her friend and you try to gain her trust but never talk to her about love and when she least expects you declare your love to her. After that, try to keep your distance a bit when you sense that she feels something for you too. The further away you go, the more she will miss you and the more she will love you. Love is like a building so you have to build it little by little. A clarification, don't go away from the genre when she calls you, you don't pick up, when she invites you, you don't come either. When she invites you, comes but doesn't last, but try to become her friend first because without that and you do that, you'll automatically lose her.

Wesley: Okay Sam, thank you very much.

(Wesley gets out of the car).

Sam: wait Wesley, you're someone exceptional, I feel that wherever you are, you put a good mood around you, I don't know you yet we talked with so much relaxation, go give me your contact .

Wesley: Of course Samuel.

(Wesley gave him his number and he put out the call for him to receive his too).

Wesley: Thank you, one last thing, it stays between us.

Sam: Of course, don't worry.

(Samuel starts the car to leave and Wesley exclaims saying "yes". He goes back to class and the students were already in class, it was math class).

Teacher: between Wesley and come here.

(He ran).

Teacher: you were 30 minutes late, where are you from?

Wesley: 30 mins you say, ways I ran there?

Teacher: I don't even see sweat on you so tell me where you come from?

Wesley: Sir, I had to go home for an emergency, you see my things were already in the room.

Teacher: what urgency?

Wesley: Actually sir, I went to get the exercise that we had to hand in today and that I had forgotten at home.

Finley: He's lying sir.

Teacher: OK, show me the exercise.

Wesley: Actually, it was when I got home that I remembered that I had already put it in my notebook.

Teacher: in addition to being late, you're lying to me and wasting my time, that's three mistakes. Come on, go wash the girls' toilets.

Students: Wohooouuuuu!!!!!

Ryan: Good for him sir, he really deserves it.

Finley: Wesley, if you want, I can help you with some water.

Teacher: Quiet! Come on hurry up Wesley.

Wesley: No sir, anything but that, you know how much the girls' toilets smell, you know how much food they ate to come over there?

(The class bursts out laughing).

Wesley: No, give me another punishment because even if you go up or down, I'm not going to carry out this one.

Ryan: in addition he challenges you sir, what insolence!

Teacher: Quiet. Come on, take the chalk and deal with exo number 3.

Wesley: but sir, is it today that we should do it together?

Teacher: would you rather wash the girls' toilets then?

Finley: yes he prefers that sir, he loves it, especially when a few girls come to find him there.

(The class laughs).

Teacher: Finley, I'm going to kick you out. So Wesley, do you prefer the toilet?

Wesley: Of course not sir, besides I love math and that's what I wanted you to give me even.

(Wesley takes the chalk and treats the exo correctly).

Teacher: congratulations, you succeeded, you are very lucky, go sit down.

Bradley: We didn't understand sir.

Clayton: Yeah nothing.

Teacher: Wesley, come and explain the exercise to your classmates.

Wesley: It was not in my punishment sir, explain to them yourself.

Teacher: why are you so stubborn?

Wesley: I don't know sir.

Teacher: if you weren't smart, you'd be expelled from this school a long time ago, you have the same behavior with all the teachers.

Wesley: I thank my intelligence so, oh no, I thank my God who gave it to me.

(He turns to Ashley).

Wesley: Did you understand the exercise Ashley?

Ashley: Yes I got it.

Wesley: Good.

Laila: why did you say that, you had to tell him no for him to explain to us?

Ashley: The Teacher will do it afterwards.
