Chapter 2

***

We are now in the classroom. I still can't believe he is our teacher. He smiled beautifully as he looked at us one by one. Dallia hugged me and she was still smiling as she looked at me.

"Yes?" I asked her.

"That's him. What I'm saying is that man we saw earlier and you bumped into earlier." Shee said softly to me and pointed to it. She was really happy while looking at the man.

"I thought, you are a student here." One student said. We looked at him while waiting for him to answer. He smiled as if all women were fascinated.

"Yeah! My bad. Guys! To be clear. I am just your substitute teacher or may I say that, Mr. Ferro just ask me to teach you today." He said laughing. The women nodded.

"So, should we call you Sir?" One student said. He laughed as if this was the best joke he had ever heard.

"No need of formality. You can call me by my name." Laughing he said.

"Sir, Can I call you love?" Another classmate asked. I just sighed and secretly stared. The rest of our classmates cheer because of what she said.

"The sourness of your face! Are you jealous?" Dallia laughed and said to me. I raised an eyebrow and looked at her annoyed.

"What? Why should I be jealous. I just met him now!" I replied annoyed to her. She just laughed and continued listening to the conversation.

"We're just telling stories. We can't start this anymore." Lancelot laughed. I was just shaken. He started teaching us. Every word of her thrilled the women. It's annoying to see women like screaming crazy that Lancelot will just say a word.

"If only I could think they were all dead!" She said laughing. I stared at her.

"How can you say I was looking at them badly? I was just listening to my classmates." I told him and stared at it. He laughed at me.

"Girl. We've had a discussion before. They're just talking." He said to me and held back a laugh. I shook my head and looked at them all. So maybe I can only hear screams because they are all just talking.

"Okay. So, our class is over. I'm leaving. We have another class next time." Smiling he told us. Others were disappointed. Especially women. The men just nodded as well. He looked around and I was surprised when he suddenly stopped looking at me. I averted my eyes because I was suddenly nervous at the way he stared.

"Bye guys!" He said goodbye to us. I didn't look back and I just sighed. I looked at Dallia who was now smiling at me. I just shook my head at her.

"What's with those stares" she said to me and poked my waist. I scolded her and she did not budge. She just kept laughing at me.

"Those stares. Like inlove!" Laughing she said to me as if i just fell in love with.

It was good that our next teacher came and started the class. That is good because I can avoid Dallia teasing me.

After class we just went straight to the field. We were vacant so we just decided to be in the field. If at the library, we will only be reprimanded there because of Dallia's noise. That Dallia's mouth doesn't really know how to stop.

When we got to the field we caught up with the players playing. They seem to have been playing before. We also enjoyed watching. I was surprised to see a player playing. I saw Lancelot our substitute teacher there earlier. He is also a player. And unexpectedly he seems to be the captain of them. He was just serious while teaching and speaking to his companions. He has a different aura while playing with other players.

I was amazed at the way he played. He was just serious and really focused on the game. His aura is still not different. They stopped and he spoke in front of them. His companions nodded.

"Oh my god! Focus on Lancelot. I thought you had no interest in him?" Dallia laughed and said to me. I just shook my head and turned my gaze to the game. I saw that Lancelot was on the bench watching his colleagues. He drank water and I was surprised when he suddenly looked in our direction. I was confused and did not know what to do.

"Look at her! You are really shock! You said that you don't have interest about Lancelot" Laughing he said to me. I just turned around and looked at Lancelot again. It was still staring at us. I looked away. I was surprised when Dallia suddenly waved at him. I scolded her of what she done but she just laughed at me.

"Lancelot! Here!" Dallia calls him. Lancelot ran in our direction. I rolled my eyes to calm myself.

I looked up and was surprised to see a ball approaching in our direction. My eyes widened and I did not know what to do.

But what was even more surprising was Lancelot suddenly appearing in front of me. My eyes widened when I saw that he was in front of me holding the ball. I was surprised because he was far away from us but he still got and caught the ball.

His other colleagues approached.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to." Said a man. He was probably the reason the ball flew in my direction. I just gave him a small smile and nodded. I looked at Lancelot who now still has a serious face while holding the ball. The man would have taken the ball and we were surprised when it gradually lost its air.

"Captain. Ahm. The ball is breaking." He said with a few laughs. Lancelot did not answer him and he just looked wrinkled.

"Cap! I don't know how fast you can run. You'll be even faster than you normally run like there is ---"

He could not continue what he was about to say when suddenly heavy rain fell. Dallia and I just run without looking at them and she was hold my hand which now seems to be enjoying while we run to find shelter.

I still can't get Lancelot out of my mind. There seems to be something strange about him. We arrived at the school gate. There was a waiting shade there and Dallia and I just waited for a ride.

We still don't have an umbrella so we will definitely move on in the rain.

"It's still raining!" Dallia told me. I nodded to her.

"We also don't have an umbrella." I told him.

"That's why. I didn't know it was going to rain. And that strong" she said and took out his hand. The raindrops were caught.

"It could give us fever or cold because it suddenly rains. It was still hot earlier." Dallia said. I shook my head because I also did not know what to answer. I stroked my shoulder as it started to get cold.

"Dal. Did you notice Lancelot's speed earlier?" I asked her. She stopped what she was doing and looked at me frowning.

"How did you say so?" She asked me. I just shrugged before speaking again.

"Didn't you notice earlier that his speed was so fast that it takes a blink of an eye." I told him. She laughed at what I said.

"Maybe you seem to be out of your mind. You've been looking at Lancelot before. So that's what you think." Laughing, she said to me and I just turned around. I kept warming my body because we also got wet earlier in the rain while we were going here in the waiting shade. Dallia has also started to coughing

"Dal. Are you okay?" I asked her. He smiled and raised his hand. She says she is okay. I approached her and hugged her. She hugged back. This is also a way to keep the two of us warm.

I was surprised that on the other hand I saw Lancelot standing there just staring blankly. My forehead furrowed and he started walking. He did not mind the rain. He just moved on and ignored the rain.

And what is even more surprising is that the rain suddenly stopped. The light of the sky returned. I looked in Lancelot's direction who was now out of place. I just shook my head and faced Dallia.

"Today's weird." I told her. She just laughed and adjusted herself so that we could both leave.
