"Hello my fellow classmates, this afternoon Venessa and I thought of holding a revision class every lunch break to help us academically,since we all know that this examination determines whether we will write our entrance examination next year or not" Alexis announced to the class."So I have come to ask for what you guys think" Alexis added.
"I think it is a great idea, isn't it?"Bella said.
"Yes,it is"The class said in unison.
"So we start tomorrow"Alexis said leaving the stand.
The day went smoothly with teachers coming in and out of the class.
Closing time
"Venessa are you ready to go home"Alexis asked while I was arranging my books.
"Just a sec"I answered. "Okay,done let's be on our way"I added.
"Okayyyy, let's be on our way"He said.
"So what are you going to teach tomorrow lunch break?"I asked Alexis on our way home.
"I don't know,I am confused" Alexis answered.
"Ohhh, okay"I said.
"Can you give me some suggestions?"Alexis inquired.
"Okay, maybe you should teach Arithmetic"I said giving a suggestion.
"Oh,that is right"He said."Most of our class mates are weak in arithmetic"He added.
"You can even teach proportion"I said.
"Okay"He said.
Silence falls for a few minutes,
"Alexis, I just thought of something"I said.
"What?"Alexis asked.
"To relieve the stress off your shoulders why don't we tell the class to choose a subject they are weak in"I said.
"You are right" He said."I will tell them to do just that tomorrow"He added.
"Alexis how was your night"I asked Alexis.
"It was fine"He answered.
"So are you prepared for today's lesson?"I asked.
"Yes, I am"He answered."I am just a bit nervous"He added.
"Why nervous?you will only be teaching the class and not the entire school"I said.
"Alexis how was your night"I asked Alexis.
"It was fine"He answered.
"So are you prepared for today's lesson?"I asked.
"Yes, I am"He answered."I am just a bit nervous"He added.
"Why nervous?you will only be teaching the class and not the entire school"I said.
"But this is my first time"He replied.
"Aren't you the one who teaches me,where has the bold Alexis gone?"I asked.
"Yes, but it was only you and not the entire class"Alexis said.
"Okay, just do this focus on me; that is look at me only"I said."All attention on me alone"I added.
"That's a great idea, I will do just that"He said. "Thanks for the idea, little one"He said rubbing my head.
"Okay, little one"He said laughing and also running.
"Youuuuu,stop right there"I said running and shouting on top of her voice.
At lunch Break,
"Good day everyone,so before I continue I want just five people to choose subject they think is tough for the class"Alexis said before starting the lesson."So Bella what is your idea"He said when he saw her raise up on her hands.
"I think arithmetic is the toughest"Bella said.
"I think it is arithmetic also"Philip said.
"I think it is arithmetic also"Mary said.
"I think it is chemistry"Jack said.
"I think it is chemistry also"Juliet said.
"So I think we all agree on arithmetic and chemistry"Alexis said.
"Yes"The class said in unison.
"Okay,then let's start the lesson"Alexis said."So who can tell us the formula for standard deviation.
One hour later,
"You did we in there"I said.
"Thank you, little one"He replied.
"Yooouuuuuu"I said pointing at him.
"Okay,take this"I said giving some snacks.
"Thanks"He said.
"You are welcome"I said.
Two weeks of lunch break lessons are over and our exams are next week. I have to admit Alexis is a great teacher
"Finally lessons are over,I can finally enjoy lunch break."I said.
"Vanessa, meet me at the balcony when you are done eating."Alexis said frowning.
"Okay"I said wondering what I did wrong.
At the balcony,
"Here I am,so what is wrong?"I asked Alexis.
"Nothing is wrong,seems like someone is scared."He said laughing loudly.
"Alex,you scared the hell out of me."I said punching in the shoulder.
"So what is wrong, what did you call me here."I inquired.
"Remember we both agreed that we would use this week to get to know each other."He said.
"Yes, I remember."I said.
"So let's start this week."He said
"Okay"I said while looking at the floor.
"Awwwwn"I mumbled while inhaling the fresh air.
"Let's go seat"Alexis said pulling me towards the seat.
"Venessa"Alexis said.
"Yes"I said while looking down.
"You seem lost"Alexis said with a questioning look.
"Ohhh,it is nothing"I said faking a smile.
"So tell me about yourself"He said smiling.
"So where do I start from?"I said.
"Start from your name."He said.
"Okay,my name is Vanessa Montenegro.I live with my parents."
"I have two younger brothers which makes me the only female child and also the first child."
"So yeah that's all."I said
"Okay, I am Alexis Cruz. I live with me dad,and as you know my mom died last session."
"And I am the only child." He said.
"So Vanessa, what where those marks on your body the day we went home late"Alexis asked out of the bloom.
"The marrrrrrks..."I said stammering.

"Break is over let's go to the class."I said.
