42.1% Secrets That We Keep / Chapter 16: Chapter 16

Chapitre 16: Chapter 16

The students stayed inside the court with shock and wonder, wondering who the hell is that handsome devil-like man who impacted their minds in both good and bad ways. In a good way because they were scared of him and they are scared of him disciplining them more than they've ever been disciplined in their own homes. In a bad way because they're scared of him.

The student's curious murmurs could be heard around the court, their voices echoing too but not as frightening as Sir Kingsley's voice. They were murmuring and whispering because they are scared of the thought that he'll come back and embarrass them with the truth inside the court even though Sir Kingsley doesn't know them at all, he is very analytical and intelligent.

"Oh god...I just hope that he isn't our new history teacher."

"I know...I already miss Sir Arthur but I miss him more now."

"But have you seen how handsome he looks? I don't know what's more intimidating--his good looks or his devilish features that no other man in this planet can possibly possess."

"He's terrifyingly hot and that's what scares me the most."

"He's very intelligent. I like how he just walks and speaks like he's the most powerful of all and that makes me want to bow down to him and kiss his dirty shoes after wiping my lips with wipes and lots of rubbing alcohol. Haha..."

The students have different thoughts and opinions about that man but they're all admitting that they got scared of him. Layla though is very different from the others because somehow, for some reason, she hates him and doesn't want to see him again especially since what she had felt when she saw him and their gazes locked with each other with the same intense and hatred look.

Jace held her shoulders while rubbing it in comfort, vanishing the thoughts in Layla's mind and she thanked him again like a true savior he truly is and how warm and comfortable she felt with him. They all waited until the teachers came back and told them to just go home and will no longer be continuing the basketball game because of the occurrence which they all understood. Layla and her classmates immediately approached their classmates who had been in a fight and Jace helped with some things, leaving her with her trustworthy classmates.

Layla walks in front of Alex and looked at him with furrowed brows which made them assume that she's angry at them for fighting and they all begin to explain why did that happen.

"That jerk did start everything, we promise!" Kevin told while touching his busted lip and hissing in pain. They nodded hysterically.

"We still don't know why he's like that but I guess it's because he has his own issues in his household." Alex said while looking at Layla with the same furrowed brows and his breathing becomes normal as they were all out of breath.

"But we admit, we let him provoke us but still, he is a motherfuck-"

"Shhh...that's enough, no one's angry at you. It's not your fault and I'm not mad." Layla told them, cutting Mark off before he can cuss too loudly. They looked at her with widened eyes and all gathered around her.

"You're not?"

Layla shakes her head. "No, I'm worried. We're worried. We need to clean you up, let's go." They sighed in relief but still looked at her with apologetic looks. Layla smiled at them and jokingly smacked them in the head which made all of them laugh and winced in pain.

"Ah, let's just go!" Zoey suddenly appears with a wide grin and they looked at her, smiling back to her as she stops in front of them.

"Zoey! Since when did you come back?" Layla asked her while side hugging her. Zoey parted away and shrugged.

"Meh, just a little while later. Because of what happened."

The others walked back into the classroom while Layla, Kim, Liv, and the participants in the basketball game head to the clinic. They walked while talking about what happened in the basketball court. Layla just tries to change the topic although she knows it's no use at all because all of the students still can't get over what happened. They all wanted to know who he is and what happened to the other team player that got humiliated.

The nurse immediately cleaned them up and helped them while also scolding them and they all just listened and kept quiet the whole time. Kim and Liv were all trying not to laugh as their classmates winced and flinched while the nurse cleans their wounds.

"...just why do you kids have to always be in a fight? Don't you care about your parents? They are working their butts off and yet you still fight. I can never understand you all..." She continues to lecture them while she's pressing on Alex's wound and he hisses every time she does so. She speaks as if she's been cleaning their wounds for a very long time and as if she's a lot older than them when really, she's just a few years older than them which makes it more amusing.

"And your class president, she'll be responsible for all your actions! How will she cope with all of what you've done?" As Layla heard that she snapped back into reality and chuckled while nodding, agreeing with what she's saying.

The nurse asked them who's the president and they all looked at Layla with wide and regretful eyes while Layla just smiled at them reassuringly.

"Well then! She's here! You know she has lots of obligations right? I just hope you all know the consequences of your actions--"

The nurse got cut off immediately when people enter the clinic while chatting loudly and they all turned their heads to the door. They all glared as soon as they saw who decided to turn up in the clinic. It's the other team players but thankfully without the new mysterious teacher and the idiot one who has started all of this. They all quiet down when they noticed the awkward tension and they looked towards their rivalry.

"Look who decided to show up..." Alex muttered and Layla looked at him with a glare while punching him lightly on his arm which made him quiet.

The others just looked away but the awkward and intense tension still didn't leave. Even the nurse decided to just keep her mouth shut while she walks over to them and asked them what they needed. They have wounds and cuts from the fight but they looked a little bit guilty as they couldn't even look back at them without those filled with regret eyes.

Alex and the rest of his friends just joked around while trying to keep as quiet as possible. Layla and Kim just watched them while also cautiously looking back at the other team just in case another fight breaks. Layla's mind constantly wanders back to the new man that she has never seen before in her life. She just feels like she knows him even though they don't know each other at all but she hates him because of his whole existence and the way everyone is scared of him when he's nothing in Layla's eyes. He acts so important when in reality he isn't, that's what's also is in Layla's mind.

"Layla...Layla? Shouldn't we go? I think we should go before anything can happen again." Kim whispered at her after a while of calling her name and Layla didn't even bulge so she half-shouted at her, looking at her seriously. Layla apologizes and nodded frantically, agreeing with what Kim told her.

"Or if the idiot decides to go here because of his busted face that needs to be treated. We have to go now besides, they're all treated now. Let's go-" Just as she says that, the idiot that she's talking about burst inside the room while looking around with a glare and red face, looking for the nurse or Kevin. Layla walks over to them and covered them behind her small back, protectively, Kim and Liv do the same. Even with Layla's small figure, she still wants them to be behind her because nobody wants another fight.

"Let's just go." She told them with a hiss. The idiot smirked when he saw Kevin and the others but the nurse hurriedly walks towards him and pulled him towards a bed and covered the curtains. They sighed in relief and Alex and the rest just glared.

Layla looked at them and mentioned for them to just get the hell out and stop glaring. They nodded and followed her out of the room without telling the nurse first. Layla was instantly greeted by the principal and Sir Kingsley who looked down at her with amusement and irritation.

Layla's body once again started shaking horribly and her fingers fidget while her breathing becomes unsteady and fast. The principal looked at her weirdly and asked her if she's okay. She nodded and bowed a little to greet them. "S-sorry for the inconvenience, for bothering you...I hope you forgive my classmates." She told the principal who just nodded.

"No, it's fine. It's not your fault. Just go on your way and we'll call for you if we need you." Mrs. Vivian told her with a straight face. Sir Kingsley stopped himself from rolling his eyes and scoffing at the ridiculousness that he finds in the situation.

"They should apologize, not you. So stop bowing and proceed walking." He said while shaking his head at her and his brow raised. Layla glanced at him and nodded, not knowing if he remembers staring at each other with hate but she remembers so as long as she can still avoid him, she does.

"Oh! I forgot to introduce you to your new history teacher! This is Sir Kingsley. Just introduce yourselves in the class, for now, we have more important matters to attend to. Bye children!" Mrs. Vivian suddenly just pulled Sir Kingsley away and goes inside the clinic, not caring about them and leaving them hanging. She's just actually scared that the idiot's parents will come any minute and she needs to present herself by the idiot's side so it looks like she actually cares for the student.

Sir Kingsley immediately looks at her with disgust and scoffed at her. "Don't ever drag me away again or even touch me. It's disgusting." He told her in a quiet tone.

Layla and the others just continued walking while talking.

"He's really our new history teacher! My ghad! How will we ever survive this school year?" Liv exclaimed. Layla just looked down at her feet and shrugged while steadying her body who reacted very differently when it comes to Sir Kingsley. She's honestly scared of what happened and what will happen.

"I think he's just scary but can be nice. I mean what comes out of his mouth always makes sense and he even told Layla to not apologize." Kevin defended Sir Kingsley while shrugging and they all looked at him in disbelief.

"Wha-? You mean that person of a devil can be nice?! He's just logical but that doesn't mean that he's nice! He looks like he can rip out your soul! Literally!" They continued chatting.

"I think I hate him. Just because everyone is scared of him doesn't give him the right to do whatever he wants. He is a teacher for God's sake! He needs to chill out and be professional." Layla finally voiced out her hate for their new history teacher and they all nodded while laughing softly.

"But I think, Layla, you were right. Look at how suddenly lively this school again and everyone's talking about him. He is the reason why the school's alive and happy again! We can come back to normal next week." Kim said while looking around and seeing the students and teachers that are scattered all around the hallway with smiles and different chats with each other.

Alex groaned. "Why are you all happy for being normal again? Classes are exhausting! Having a sports fest for the whole year is more exciting! Plus those who don't participate don't do anything! Isn't that more exciting?" He gestures at Layla and Kim who didn't participate and Layla just chuckled.

"No because as much as we don't want to do anything. It's getting kinda boring and with the intense tension because of your fight, we need to quickly move on and proceed with our lives, or nothing good will happen so quit complaining and let's just head back into the classroom. We still need to talk to your parents and have so much to do." Layla told them and they shut up while agreeing with what she said while they walk back to their classroom.

Layla's mind is just all over the place. She keeps on wondering why her body reacts like that whenever she sees him. But she just hates him. No. She despises him. She wants him to be gone, out of this school. But as far as everybody knows, he'll stay because he is exactly what this school needs. A teacher who's scary, intimidating, and intelligent, the one who can discipline, like....really really discipline.
