Chapter 3
They looked at where the sound came from and it was a girl that fell on the floor.
“Take your stupid cookies” Calvin spat coldly, throwing a cookie jar at the girl. It seem that the girl offered him the cookies and started touching his hands and he pushed her.
“And that’s what I was about to tell you, he despise girls” Mia explained. “You don’t mean it” Dorothy looked at the girl who was pushed, she was already at her feet and was very pretty and gorgeous.
“If he treated this gorgeous girl this way, what would he do to me” Dorothy thought.
“But don’t worry, you might get lucky” Mia said to Dorothy. She looked at Mia as if she had lost her mind and Mia started laughing.
“You should see your face” she told Dorothy.
“This is not funny at all Mia” Dorothy said.
“I know but your face is” Mia replied still laughing.
“Get out” the Librarian barked at them and they ran out of the building. Just as they were about going out of the door, Calvin looked up from his book and smirked.
Dorothy and Mia came out of the library, Mia was still laughing.
“Like seriously you are still laughing” Dorothy asked. “I really can’t help it my dear Doro” she replied. “Well continue laughing I need to go and rest” Dorothy said and started walking away. Mia came and gave her a back hug.
“I thought you were still laughing” Dorothy asked. “No I am done” Mia replied. Dorothy turned to her and said “none of the two options was fruitful”.
“That’s is a lie, we haven’t done the one I suggested” Mia interjected.
“Well the one you suggested is a death sentence” Dorothy replied.
“No it is not, how could you say so if you haven’t tried it out”. “OK whatever I need to go home and rest” Dorothy said.
“OK bye rest well” Mia said and ran to her class.
Dorothy then went home and took her rest. She went to her part-time work at the evening and came back. When she was preparing to sleep, she took the course booklet and stared at it and made up her mind to approach the Calvin guy and asked him to help her. With that determination and courage she went to sleep.
By 5:00am Dorothy was already awake and she started preparing for school. She started going to school when it was 7:00am, the buses had not began their work so she took a cab. When she arrived at the school, she went straight to the Quantum mechanics lecture room. Calvin was already there and of course the only person there.
Dorothy went and took a seat, immediately the projector screen came alive. “Good morning students” the man on the screen greeted.
“I can see we have a new student, How do you do miss?” he asked Dorothy. “I am fine sir” she replied. “My name is professor William Smith and I wanted to tell you guys the topics you should focus on for the coming quiz” the man said.
“Excuse me sir, but why are you not present here physically?” Dorothy asked. “Well me and the other Quantum mechanics professors are all vacation because our only student doesn’t need us” he replied. “And I believe you don’t need us too” he asked. “No sir” she replied.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“OK back to what I was saying, I have sent the topics to your mails but I want to personally say it to you” he said and began listing the topics.
Dorothy was not hearing anything he was saying because all her brain was screaming was ” quiz, quiz, quiz, quiz” a quiz in a course she know nothing about. What will it produce catastrophe of course.
“Hey !” Calvin shouted bringing her back to the present.
“Class is dismissed, leave” Calvin said to her.
Dorothy packed her stuff and walked out of the door. Just as she had taken a few step, she turned and ran into the class bumping into Calvin in the process. Calvin’s eyes turned to slit because he hates body contacts with girls.
“Please” Dorothy begged and wanted to touch him but remembered he hate girls, instead she got on her knees and begged him.
“Please help me, I really don’t know anything about this course. I promise I will do anything you ask me to do” she pleaded.
Calvin just looked at her and laughed an evil laugh and left her there. She stood up, cleaned her knees and went to the school library and brought out every textbook about Quantum mechanics. She read and read but she couldn’t understand anything. Tired and frustrated she parked all the books and proceed to put them back when a heavily build man blocked her way.
“What?” She asked. The man didn’t say anything just handed her a note and left. Dorothy went and kept the books and opened the note it says “want to learn;
“meet me at Lilo today’s evening by 5 O’ clock”. Cal.
The note was so short and direct. “Does that means he will help her” she thought. She happily came out of the library and went to the cafeteria where Mia was eating lunch.
“Guess what?” She asked as she took a seat. Mia dropped the burger she was about to eat and replied “you won a lottery?”
“No”, “you got followed by your favourite celebrity?”. “No”, you got a short that actually fits you?”.
“No !, forget about that let me tell you I talked to him and he agreed”. “Wait what !” Mia exclaimed. “How did he said it, did he say “yes” or “of courses” or “no worry” or “I got you babe” Mia asked trying to imitate his voice.
“Well technically, he said I should meet him at Lilo” Dorothy replied. “Lilo?” Mia asked.
“Yes you know the place?”
“Yes I do” she replied grinning. “It is a restaurant for couples” she added.
“Couples?” Dorothy asked.
“Yes I think he likes you, oh my gosh that would be amazing, Doro and Cal in love !” Mia exclaimed. “You are insane, he can’t possibly like me” Dorothy said. “Those things happens in movies and fairy tales” she added.
“Enough with the downgrade, let talk about what you will wear” Mia said.
“What I will wear? I am not going on a date” Dorothy said. “You know what here is my house key, go and stay there I am coming, hope you don’t have classes today?” Mia asked. “No” she replied.
“Then it is settled” Mia said and started walking away. “Where are you going ! ?” Dorothy shouted at her. Mia gave her a thumbs up and continued walking.
