Chapter 19: Discoveries

The teacher, a man at least five feet ten tall, looked like he was caught in a headlight at first. He blinked at me a few times before spluttering. When I glanced around the class, I expected to see the students agreeing with me or something related to that at least, but instead, most of them were shaking their heads and rolling their eyes. When my gaze met with Taylor's who was sitting at the far end of the class, he gave a quick shake of his head.
We had arrived at school together this morning and had even seated beside each other, but because the teacher had asked everyone to pick different seats before the start of this test, we had to be seated far from each other.
When my gaze landed on Malachi, he looked like the perfect embroidment of unbothered. An amused look playing across his face, one which I wished I could claw off right now.
The teacher's voice pulled me back to his presence. He was saying something while staring at my test paper.
"You're the new student, right?" He finally asked and my mouth went in a thin line because I was wondering why he was suddenly asking this when it had nothing to do with what I had just pointed out sometime ago.
It didn't look like he was even waiting for my response. He took a closer look at my paper before speaking. "I see why you're mad now. You sounded dense and I wondered why before, but I guess it makes sense now seeing as your paper is completely empty."
As he spoke, the entire class erupted in laughter. It didn't take long for color to fill up my cheeks. The teacher collected the papers from the rest of the students before returning to the front of the class again.
Once he was behind the podium once again, he gathered the papers together and kept it inside a file. As he worked, his gaze kept darting towards me.
