The Spotlight

Miss Rose continued the attendance . Alayna made a little hiss sound while massaging the back of her neck and stretching her shoulders in a circle.

 : " Are you alright Alayna? "

A student whispered from her right side.

Alayna : "Oh! Hi Marie " (said in a low tone)

Marie: "hi!" (Said sweetly) "you don't seem that well.  What's wrong? "

Alayna : "(ahhh) Just did not get much sleep last night " She gave her a subtle smile.

Marie: "why? What happened? "

After hearing it Alayna felt a little nervous and started to shutter while replying .

Alayna : " j ... just  due to some school work (amm) I am having some troubles at understanding the last chemistry lecture . So, just did some research anddd... stuff like that "

Marie :" Don't go that hard on yourself." She said with a concerned face.

Alayna: " I will try my best (she chuckled a little) Just don't  worry."

Miss Rose : " students!  I would like to have your attention here. Our today's topic is going to be a little confusing . So , you all must stay focused if you want to pass the upcoming mid -terms ."

Hearing that every student's eyes got glued to the white board and their hands were continuously writing down each and every detail .

Alayna : [  and here they are at it again the non-humans of this school or should I call them what are  great principal calls them the so-called ' shining stars' of the school (sigh) I have to bear this nonsense Every  other day . This is not fair God (ahhh) ]

After two consecutive lectures miss Rose started an on the board quiz as a conclusion of the lecture.

Miss Rose: " So, which option is right? "

She started to look around the class . Just by looking at students faces anybody could tell that they were using all of their mental strength. Few students answered but  were not able to answer correctly.

Marie: " Do you know the answer Alayna? " (whispering )

Alayna : " isn't it option A ? Like, it is obvious!"

She replied while resting her back on the chair.

Marie : " Nowww... if ... I try to use option A as an a..answer hmm .. (thinking hard) YOU ARE RIGHT! " She said with shining eyes and excitement but still kept her voice low because if she will not do it then she must get ready to face the punishment according to the rules of the classroom . In here you are not even allowed to break one  tiny rule if you still want to attend the classes for a whole week.

Marie: " Raise your hand Alayna! What are you waiting for?" Alayna : " No! I don't want to."

Marie: " why not ? Look Sasha is going to raise her hand and if she get it right then she is going to act as our queen that none of us EVER wanted. "

Sasha :" I think I will go with option A  miss Rose."

Miss Rose: " well done Sasha!  That is the correct option."

Sasha sat down with a proud face.

Miss Rose : " So, NO one else got it right, other than miss Sasha. " Marie gave an eye roll meanwhile Sasha looked at  other students with a smirk on her face.

Marie: " why ? Just why ? Why would You not tell the right answer when even you KNEW that before Sasha!"  She got a little angry

Alayna :" you DO know that very well Marie that I don't like spotlight or should I say that I HATE them!"

Marie:" but why? I don't understand. "

Alayna : " you don't have to Understand. " She said while looking down and  memories of past started to flash in her mind but eventually came back to her senses after someone called her name.

Marie:" Alayna? What happened ? "

Alayna: "huh amm n... nothing. "

Marie : " look I am sorry, And I know that I  should not force you to do something that you don't like ."

Alayna : "Thanks!"

She said while smiling softly at Marie....
