Chapter 53 Helping A Friend
Chapter 53 Helping A Friend
"Do you think Ms. Charlotte will be strict, just like Mrs. Isabela?" Jarrick asked him as they walk their way back to their room.
Hugo shook his head. "Nah. Based on her information, she's just 23. At this age, I doubt she will act like Mrs. Isabela," he answered.
"You think so?" A sigh escaped from Jarrick's lips.
"Yeah." Hugo shrugged his shoulders as he moved in a relaxed manner.
In his previous life, Ms. Charlotte was the kindest teacher that he had ever met. She was always understanding and rarely get angry at them. It must be because she and the students were just years apart.
Since Charlotte was still young, she can understand the students' behavior well. She knows how to light the mood up and how to teach in an interesting way, unlike those older teachers.
"You knock," Hugo ordered Jarrick as they arrived at their room. The door was closed and they can see Charlotte and some of their classmates having fun from the glass panel in the middle.
This placed Jarrick at ease. He patted Hugo's shoulders before smiling. "She is pretty!" he couldn't help but compliment the woman.
'I know, right,' Hugo uttered in his mind. However, he just gave Jarrick a blank look, as if he was impatient already.
"Yeah. Yeah. I will knock already since she doesn't look strict at all." Jarrick gave Hugo an 'okay' sign.
*Knock *Knock *Knock
Charlotte was surprised to hear knocks coming from the door. She quickly opened it and let the two men enter inside.
"Good morning, Ms. Charlotte."
"Good morning, Ms. Charlotte."
Hugo and Jarrick greeted Charlotte. This put a smile on her face. "Are you Hugo?" she asked as she pointed her hands at the man who was taller.
"Yes, Miss," Hugo answered.
"And you are Jarrick if I'm not wrong?" her gaze went into the man who was behind Hugo.
Jarrick shyly nodded. "Yes, Miss. You are right. " He cleared his throat as he felt his cheeks burning up. 'I didn't know that our new teacher could be this pretty.'
Charlotte chuckled. "You two may seat now. I know that Headmaster Leon had called you because of me," she softly uttered.
The both of them came back to their seats. Hugo snickered after reading Jarrick's thoughts.
'Don't tell me, he hasn't talked properly to a woman even once!' He tilted his head to the side when he thought about it.
Charlotte closed the door as she proceeded to go to the middle. She clapped her hands to gain everyone's attention.
"Now that we are complete, I want to introduce myself once again to the two guys who were away earlier." She paused for a while before continuing.
"You all can call me Miss Charlotte or Charlotte if that's what you prefer. You don't really need to be formal when you're talking to me in my class, since I'm not that old, anyway." A laugh escaped from her lips.
"But do take note that you need to be formal, especially when I'm with other teachers. Do you all understand that?" She looked at everyone, expecting an answer.
"Yes, Miss Charlotte!" The students answered in unison.
Hugo smirked as she stared at Charlotte. "Her attitude didn't change at all."
The rest of their time was spent freely. Charlotte told them that all of them should get to know each other first before having lessons. They played multiple games with her until her class ends.
"Miss Charlotte is fun to be with," Jarrick commended as they wait for her in front of the teacher's office.
"I know," Hugo grinned. He leaned against the wall. "Do you like her?" he added when he saw the adoration in Jarrick's eyes.
Jarrick immediately disagreed with his words. He repeatedly waved his hands., signaling it as a no.
"Why would you even say that here?" Jarrick's whole face turned red. He warily looked around to see if anyone heard what they were talking about.
Hugo chuckled as he watched the panic in Jarrick's eyes. "You are a virgin, aren't you?" He couldn't refrain himself from asking.
Jarrick scratched the back of his head. "Y-yes…"
"You don't even watch… you know… those kinds of videos.?"
"I-I don't," Jarrick truthfully confessed. He glanced at Hugo. "Is it bad?" he confusedly asked about it.
Since he was a child, Jarrick grew up with religious parents who have continuously told him that watching those videos was a sin for God. He was told that he should only sleep and do it with a woman who will be his wife.
Hugo shrugged his shoulders, " I don't know," he simply answered, not wanting to be a bad influence on him.
He understands Jarrick's family teaching, but in a world today, that was the most absurd thing that he had heard so far. He can't believe that some families were still educating their children about that.
When the door opened, Hugo instantly fixed the way he was standing. Their eyes went to the side and saw Charlotte at the door.
She was wearing a tight white polo paired with a pencil-cut skirt. Her black hair was placed in a messy ponytail.
"Should we go now?" Charlotte asked them.
Hugo nodded as he looked at Jarrick, who froze on the spot. "Jarrick, let's go?" he secretly called out his attention so that he wouldn't lose face in front of her.
He believes in Bro Code Rule 0009: If your homie is in a daze, make sure to save his face.
Jarrick unconsciously nodded. Both he and Hugo started to walk. Charlotte was behind, silently following them.
"Where do you want to go first, Ms. Charlotte?" Hugo turned around.
"Hmm… I kinda want to go to the school's garden. Can we go there?"
He nodded. "Jarrick is always here, so I suggest we follow him, Miss."
Hugo tapped Jarrick's shoulders. He winked at the man and whispered. "You know what to do."
Jarrick nodded as he looked back. He was thankful to Hugo for helping him right now.
"Yes, Miss. Don't worry and you won't get lost." He responded.
Charlotte giggled. "You two look cute."
