A strange day by Kamen Lowell (leveled readers .TXT) 📕

to her seat.She looked again in her book and turned her eyes to him.He looked at his desk and pretended he was writing down the exercises that were on the black board,but his heart almost flew out of him when he heard her saying his voice.Tim looked at her with a look saying

-May I help you ? - she pulled out a marker and said

-You arent doing good this year,I hope you have studied for today - .He gulped as if he was approaching his doom and then stood up uncertainly.As he reached her desk he reached for the marker and accidentally ran his hand along her and felt the now familiar feeling.Tim took the marker quickly from her hand and took place before the board and she started telling him what to write.For the first time in his life he knew these formulas meant and he started calming down slowly.He figured out the first one in no time and when he turned to the teacher to hear her out she was staring at him like he had broken some hundred year formula.

- Mr.Parker I wasnt expecting something like that from you - she said fixing her glasses trying to cover her amazement

-Lets try something a bit harder then,shall we ? - she turned to him and looked him daringly.Timothy just shrugged like it was all the same to him,at the same time Chris was watching what was happening like it was some boxing match for the world title.However knew even a little Timothy knew that he could do anything else but math,which made it even more exciting to watch.This time the woman didnt pick an exercise from the book,which meant things were getting serious.She started telling him what to write and when she was ready she crossed her hands and leaned back in her chair and waited to see if he really knows what hes doing or he had some method of cheating.Timothy wrote down what he was told and looked it through a few times.He knew immediately what he must do,but wanted to play an act and make the teacher think she got him.Tim started scratching his head and exhaling in desperation,then turned around a few times with a sad look to see if anyone was buying it.As expected the teacher was staring at him and waiting to tell him how easy the exercise was,but he decided he would do that instead of her.

- Oh,now i remembered ! - exclaimed Tim and after a minute he was grinning at the teachers dropped jaw.

- Well this is just astounding Mr.Parker.You must`ve studied really hard this weekend- she wasnt faking it even though it would have brought her more pleasure seeing him fail

- Yes,really hard,I couldnt get any sleep these days - replied sarcastically Tim knowing she cant do anything to him anymore.

- I’m glad,you can go to your seat now - as he was returning to his place,he got a lot of suspicious looks from his classmates,especially the smart ones,but one person was really happy for him and that was Chris.As soon as Timothy sat in his place he fist bumped his Chris who was staring at his like he was his idol.After the bell rang and they left the room Chris flooded him with questions

- How the hell did you pull that out ? Did you have some hidden microphone or something like that ? -

- No dude,I just knew what to do - answered Tim trying to not look too suspicious

-But you suck at math,its impossible - kept going Chris

- Well then I had luck,look I have P.E.so see you later maybe - before he could say anything else Tim ran into the crowd of students and disappeared from his sight.As he was going to his next class he thought of sharing the good news with Melanie and pulled out his phone.

- You wont believe what happened! - wrote Timothy and sent it to her.After a few minutes she wrote him back

-Your head grew three times bigger ? -

- ha.ha,no i`m an expert in one more field now,but i`ll tell you about it after school -

-what class do you have now i think i can come by -

- P.E. -

- Ok i`ll be there in 10 mins - Timothy put his phone back in his pocket and headed for yard that was all the way at the back of his school.He put his headphones and turned the volume on max,that way his school didnt seem so horrible.The good thing was that he was graduating this year and most of the younger students were looking up to him and nobody bothered or bullied him.He was almost in the sports sector of the school when he felt a pat on his shoulder,he turned around and saw Kate.She was his ex,who he had left a few months ago and she was still texting and following him ever since.Her parents were really rich and she was a single child so she tended to get everything she wanted and after she tried turning Timothy into her minion for several months he finally decided to end it and broke up with her.Kate ended up calling him thirty times in the next two days as if he were her son,which only made it worse and Tim blocked her from his phone and every social media.And now she was acting like an angel so that she could suck him back with her tentacles and enslave him and make him her pet again.

- Hey Tim,how are you doing ? - asked Kate with her squeaky voice and the usual puppy eyes she made every time she wanted something badly.Timothy stood there with an emotionless gaze and was thinking if he should just tell her that he is in a hurry or talk with her for a few minutes.

- Hey Katelyn,i was just headed for P.E.,how are you ? - she hated being called Katelyn,only her mother called her Katelyn when she was mad at her,but she ignored it this time.Kate knew he`ll pay for it once she has him as her minion,but for now she played the role of the nice and friendly girl.

- Oh i`m great,I just saw you and I thought of asking you if you want to hang out later,my parents wont be home for a few days so you can come by if you want - she knew that was every boys weakness,but there was more he could lose that win from this invitation,plus he wasnt the type of guy that would take advantage of her in such time.

- Well,I have to help Melanie with some packages so I don`t think I can make it,sorry - Katelyn never liked Melanie because she always came in first when it came to Timothy,even though he always said they were only friends.She still somehow kept the fake smile on her face and right when Tim thought the conversation was over she continued.

- Maybe some other day then....I just want things to be like before,when it was only you and me and we were happy - she reached for his arm and touched it sensually,then looked in his eyes in a way to see if he actually bought her sack of lies.

- Look Kate,I told you before,there wont be us anymore.We had our time together and for one or another reason it ended.I`m sorry but I cant be anything else than a friend with you - Timothy hated most of the time he spent with her,but he was sure she wasnt that bad when she wasnt playing the role of the girlfriend.Katelyn stood for a few seconds silent thinking how to respond and finally smiled again

- Ok,you have my number,if you want to talk or anything just give me a call - it took her a while to accept it but Timothy was relieved it was over and they can move on,or at least she because he had already done it.She lifted herself to give him a hug and then left without saying a word.Tim stared at her for a few seconds more and then put his headphones on again and headed for his P.E. Class.

Chapter 4 What now?

Chapter 4

 

Timothy was an athletic kid so his P.E. Teacher liked him a lot and he used to get away with things like excusing himself from a class because he ‘’felt’’ some pain.He really wanted to share what happened in Math class with Melanie so this was going to be one of the times he excused himself from class.After leaving his things on the bench he saw Melanie getting in the room,she spotted him quickly and ran to him.

-Wait here I have to excuse myself to the teacher and then i`ll tell you everything - said Timothy and headed to the teacher.

-Hello Mrs.Dwight I wanted to ask if you could excuse me this time because I trained for a marathon at the weekend and i think i sprained my ankle - Timothy pulled out his most exhausted face to make it look more real.Mrs.Dwight was a dark haired woman in her forties,who had won several medals for her town in the past and at the peak of her career she left the sports scene undefeated and became a teacher.She liked Timothy because he reminded her of her younger self,so she checked him out from head to toes and smiled in reply.

-Alright,I am sure you will do great on this marathon,go rest now and maybe next time i can give you some tips- Timothy thanked her and turned back to Melanie.She was sitting on the bench eating an apple and looking something on her phone.

-OK she bought it,are you ready to hear the most amazing thing that ever happened ? - Melanie threw her phone away and nestled quickly ready to soak up every word.Tim started telling her what happened with smallest details and she didnt move her gaze from him even for a moment.Melanie couldnt believe he rubbed it in her face so hard and got away with it.

-Do you still remember the things you learned from me and that secretary you met last week ? - asked Melanie,

-Yes,I think so,why? - she bit from the apple and then replied

-So apparently you dont forget the things after some time and you dont have a limit or at least its not short - Timothy thought about it and realized how much cooler it gets by the day.He had forgotten all about his worries earlier about anything going wrong and focused on how much more he can extract from different people and how he could use that to his advantage.The class ended before they knew it and they left school.
