"button it" the teacher shouted at Olumide who quickly buttoned up.
He was just embarrassed and felt the ground should up.
Why did this have to happen now in the mist of everyone and everyone was already staring at him.
He wished the teacher didn't tell him about his button that way.
Of course Tina his crush witnessed everything.
There won't be any good explanation to this he presumed.
He has already had the worst day, so his head was down all through the practical class.
After the class he calmly left the class with his school bag and started walking back home.
He was about leaving the school gate when Tina said Hi to him and told him not to feel about what happened.
He was surprised and happy at the same time, he quickly lifted up his head and engaged in a conversation with Tina.
He found out that what he thought others felt when the teacher pointed at him wasn't what they thought, they actually pitied and understood his situation.
This made him relieved.
He walked back home with in his normal bright self waving goodbye to Tina.
