Ain't Your Regular Girlfriend

"What?".

"He is my teacher, I can't believe you're saying this, it sounds more like Magritte".

"So? He just clocked twenty-one and you will be Seventeen next month. I'm not saying you should do anything you don't want. I'm just saying you should find someone who won't only make you happy but someone will always be there for you. oh dear, I only want you to get over that Solomon or what was his name again?".

"Steve, it's Steven".

"Whatever, just get over him already. he's draining you perhaps, Michael won't just be the one but be more I've seen his personality and I just learned he isn't officially a teacher, your principal is his aunt that was why he took over that teacher in your school's place until he returns from his leave!"

My dad turned me to face him. His word was serious, so was his face while saying them. He was trying to make me see reasons why he suddenly liked Micheal and I kinda get him too but that doesn't mean i'd embrace his words right away." He's just there because the uni has been on strike since months ago, his aunt was worried he'd lose his self waiting for the unending strike with the government to end so she secured a position for him in her school.

"Whoa! Who told you all that?". I asked, surprised. My dad knowing all these about Michael in half a day. "And who told you he wants to be with me?". I asked quietly.

"I saw it in his eyes".

Here we go again, They just met last night and he feels like he knows all this about him which I who have known him for weeks didn't. It never occurred to me that Mrs. Clinton was his aunt!. I zapped out of my thoughts impatiently tapping my other feet on the floor.

Now my dad wants him to be my boyfriend!. He thought I didn't want him to know about him about it because he was my teacher!. F.u.c.k!. I covered my face in my palms. Embarrassed about the whole scenario this morning.

"Ms. Cila are you with us? ". The principal asked. Am I with them? That's totally 'No' plus a bigger No. But how am I going say this to her when any slightest mistakes I made is going to be added to Thompson's mockery.
