Kapitel 19: Chapter 19
Layla watches as her classmates fooled around inside the classroom once they've finished watching the football game and returned to their room. She had no stamina to scold her classmates for being too noisy and she really didn't need to because as of now, there are no classes, and teachers don't care about their cheerfulness as they were very happy and had recovered too. Layla was happy because finally, the school is alive and back to the same again, before Sir Arthur's sudden death. She was relieved that they were no longer miserable and that she could finally relax inside the school and not be secretly sad too. It obviously affected her, how everyone was sad because that means that her emotions might slip again and she'll have no control over them. She hated seeing people being sad and because she was sad too it is too hard for her to deal with if the tension has stayed for a little more longer.
That is the only thing that she's grateful for Sir Kingsley's arrival and attractiveness because they were all expecting more of him and they all wanted to impress him even though the man doesn't care and he will most likely to scare and intimidate everyone before anyone there could have the courage to try and impress him.
She still couldn't get over what happened yesterday and after she scurried away from him, she rushed to the ladies' room and took a while to compose herself. Thankfully, she hasn't seen him since because if she does, she'll just ignore him and act like she can't see him even if she doesn't like being disrespectful.
She knew for a fact that he shared the same hatred against her but she wasn't sure as to why he hated her back, all she knows is why she hated him.
Then what happened with Mrs. Vivian, the issue that led them to talk and compete to see who's the most logical in them, had stuck in her mind and she let out a small laugh while shaking her head in disbelief.
'to think that there were rumors about Mrs. Vivian using her talents in seducing younger and attractive men, to Sir Kingsley, made the whole situation more ridiculous. Because, clearly, he hates her and is sick of her even if he only started to work here for a few days. Mrs. Vivian is a whore but even with her talents, she has failed to seduce the man, but that is if she did but there was no doubt about that. But Sir Kingsley surely didn't work here just because of her. Rumors are just rumors and he is far from what everyone thought about him' Layla thought, finding the whole situation funny because of what everyone perceived of him at first but that still doesn't mean that he's as responsible as what he likes for the students and teachers to think of him because they still don't know the reason why he's gone for a week even after the principal announced that she has hired a new history teacher.
Layla is finding every valid reason to hate him and it works but even with that, she will not let her emotions drive her over to disrespect him completely because he is still older, smarter, and her teacher.
"The rumors are wrong and childish. Foolish even, to think that I slightly believed it." Layla spoke, speaking to no one in particular but Liv and Alex heard her and immediately stopped messing around while they looked at her and sat beside her.
"What rumors?" Liv asked her.
"What do you mean?" Alex asked.
Layla looked at them and chuckled again while shaking her head, still not believing that she had been fooled by the rumors and how did the rumors even start. "Sir Kingsley's disgusting and absurd rumors. They were all wrong. He is far from that and surprisingly, a more decent man than I had thought even with his attitude and pride." She explained while looking at them then her eyes went back to watch her classmates who are all over the place.
"What makes you say that?" Alex asked her while he leans back on his chair and waited for her to explain.
"Yeah. Did something happen? Or did you see anything at all?" Liv added.
"I was with them, Mrs. Vivian and Sir Kingsley, yesterday in the discussion about the fight. All I can say is that I witnessed him disliking her and disagreeing with what Mrs. Vivian has said. They were distant and there's this awkward and disgusting tension between the two of them but they were nowhere near romantic or flirtatious. It was clear to me that nothing happened between the two of them and she isn't the reason why he's working here now." She explained, not giving out too much information to not reveal much about what happened because it was a private conversation and it's not her place to say negative things about their relationship with each other. She rather wants to keep those personal pieces of information to herself and not tell anyone.
Liv moved closer to her. "Really? Then those who made those rumors were pretty much dramatic and they have no life."
Alex placed his elbow on his desk. "But do you think that she flirted with him? After all, all I can hear about her, ever since I studied here, are about her scandals and special talents in seducing men."
Layla laughs and Liv snorted. "Of course, dude! She has flirted with him because that man is the most handsome devil that I've seen in my entire life! Not like he's the most handsome man in the world but he sure is a treasure, a haunted beautiful treasure that everyone wants to have but can't because they can't handle it, it's too scary and intimidating. The woman is old but likes younger men! He obviously had been flirted on by her but of course, she failed and I bet you all, he embarrassed her!" Liv exclaimed and they agreed while laughing.
"But are all the rumors about him wrong, Layla? Do truly believe that?" Alex questioned her after their laughter died down.
Layla thinks for a moment and shrugged. "Maybe not all of the rumors are completely wrong but most of them are. Like for example, the rumors about him teaching previously in a prestigious and top college in the country might be true."
"Hmm...you're right."
Layla chewed her lip between her teeth while she shivers just thinking about how Sir Kingsley made her feel and how she could felt his body heat even if their bodies weren't touching and they weren't close enough for her to feel that strange heat.
Sir Kingsley, after his work, he wasted no time in heading home, he still thinks about the amusement that Layla was giving him and he likes a challenge especially when it comes to her as he is paying for her tuition and he likes to test her intelligence to make sure that his decision was with worth and that he'll not regret it even if he doesn't like her. Well, he doesn't like anyone so she isn't an exception for that and she isn't anything special. That's what's inside his mind and what he likes to believe in.
He is also thinking about the way his chest flinched when they were close to each other and how it made his mind troubled. He couldn't forget about it because he hasn't experienced anything like that before and he's confused as to why he reacted like that. Everything about that Layla confused him because even just from hearing her name, he got so driven by his emotions and he wonders what is it about her that made him feel that way.
He is a man with answers and with a solution to everything that you ask him for or a problem that is hard to be solved. So he can't accept the confusion that he's been dealing with and that he can't find any answers to why those things are unexplainable and strange. He hates it so much yet he couldn't afford to stop paying for Layla's tuition fee and to just back out from it all because only cowards will do that. Even if it's hard for him, he will accept the challenge that is laid out in front of him and he'll find answers to it, undoubtedly.
He stopped his messy, all over the place thoughts and laid down on his bed to sleep after a long tiring day inside the school campus. Different women and that include students have flirted with him and he makes them know their place but after a while, he just ignored them and focused himself on his tasks, not having a care about those women who are not worthy of his time.
In a few days, he'll be facing the kid's parents with high positions in the government and he is waiting for what he predicted to happen, he'll be lying to himself and to anyone if he says that he's not excited. But also, classes will start, regularly now without any problems as he is finally there and the sports fest had ended. He is also excited to teach and to see how everyone perceived him. Also, in those few days left, he didn't want to get out of his house and just stay there until Monday comes again but he had heard accidentally, that they'll held a party just for him and he is not planning to attend nor does he want to but he wants to find and know some information about his new students while teachers are drunk, highly intoxicated and will most likely not remember anything the next day. He'll take advantage of their vulnerability and know secluded and worthy information to know if he needs to handle anyone with special care. He will also ask about the teachers that he'll see every day to get evidence and information just in case they decided to think that they are smarter than him and do whatever they want to do with him. But he doesn't really need that anymore because it is clear that everyone is scared of him now and even women who want to flirt with him will not do that again except for Mrs. Vivian who really is a slut. Still, just in case he needs that, he'll know about everything.
While sleeping, strands of hair fall into his handsome face while snoring lightly and breathing deeply. He looks so peaceful and handsome, he didn't look a devil, he looks like an angel but that's what sleep does to everyone even in a messy state of sleeping. Until his brows furrowed and he sucked a sharp breath while he shakes his head rapidly and sweat started forming on his face and neck even if that night was cold then a few seconds later, he was back again to his peaceful slumber and he rolled to his side, his muscles on the back tensing then going back to normal as he finds a comfortable position and his sweat on his back is shinning.
Given the fact that he so used in waking up in the middle of the night, he still wakes up that night even if he didn't dream of the mysterious girl. He gets off his bed and actually smiled when he feels so relaxed that he has slept nice and hasn't had any disturbance but he found it weird because why stop now after all these years of dreaming of that girl every night? But he shouldn't dwell on it because at least, he finally had a nice sleep after many so years.
