THE HEART OF A TEENAGER
(My pride)
Episode 4

On the next day, Timothy made up his mind to let Karina know how he feels towards her.
Nath didn't bother about Karina's love because he was the shy type when it comes to boyfriend and girlfriend stuffs. His only problem was Rose's behaviour which he was going to find out that day.

The school activities started as usual, students walked up and down with red or white handkerchief flying at the back pocket of some boys. They knew it was an offence to fly the handkerchief like that thereby hiding from the sight of Mr Cane. With the sharp eyes of Mr Cane, he sighted the boys unexpectedly. "Hey, if i get you, you will explain the feature, the merit and why you are so enthusiastic in flying the dirty rag you call handkerchief that can never stay inside your pockets" He shouted from the front of his office.

It was break time, Timothy, walked to Karina's classroom. Though all of them were in the same class, SS2 but the classrooms were in a different building. Karina and Rose were in the Art class while Nath, Alex and Timothy were in the science class.
"Hi, Timothy" Karina smiled.
"Xup with you?" Timothy sat opposite her, on her locker.
"How are your friends?"
"What friends?" Timothy tried to force out a smile.
"I mean Nath And Alex"
"Oh, they are probably fine" Silence creeped in while Rose pretended as if she wasn't hearing them.
"I want to tell you something" Timothy break the silence.
"What could that be?" Karina looked straight into his eyes.
"I'm seriously in...."
"Hey Karina!" Nath interrupted their conversation. Timothy was disappointed when he noticed Karina's attention was given to Nath immediately.
"Hello, Nath" Karina smiled. Rose stood up to leave but Nath grabbed her by the hand. Everybody's attention was drawn to them.
"How dare you hold my hand?!" Rose tried to drag her hand off but Nath held it tightly.
"I want to know why you behave like this- you have never liked me. What have i done wrong?"
"Is it by force to like someone?" Rose defensively said. "I owe you no explanation please"
karina started being jealous, Timothy could see it in her eyes.
"Please, tell me my offence and i promise, i will never repeat it again" Nath was still persuasive in a low voice but sounded romantic to Karina. Rose looked at him and her arm where he was holding her. Nath gradually released his hand off her arm. She walked out without saying anything. Nath also walked out angrily.
It was unexpected drama to Karina, she couldn't believe her eyes. She turned back to continue the conversation with Timothy but he was already gone.
"Mr Frank wants to see you in his office" a junior student told Karina.
"What for?"
"I don't know"
Karina discharged the little girl. "I believe is not one of his usual problems" She thought.
Mr Frank was a young bachelor, his office was dirty and needed to be swept. Calendar that clearly showed the days of the month was hung on the wall. On his table were different textbooks. Karina entered and stood with her hands folded downward. "You called me sir" she said.
"Yes, take a broom and sweep this office" Mr frank stood up.
Karina wondered why he sent her to sweep the office. She began sweeping. Mr Frank starred at her bot which pointed backward. He could see the shape of her underwear. Karina noticed it and stood upright. "Sir, I'm not comfortable here" she said.
"Yes, actually, what do you think seeing me in my house?" Mr Frank move forward.
"I don't understand sir" Karina moved backward.
"You are a very beautiful girl, I'll give you anything you want" Karina knew where he was going, so she dropped the broom and ran outside. Immediately the bell rang.

All the student gathered in front of principal's office. Nath's eyes with that of Rose caught together therefore reminding them what happened earlier. Karina could see both of them looking at each other and she became more jealous. Timothy watched Karina from a distance, "Today has passed, yet, i haven't told her my mind" He thought
