"TAKE ANOTHER STEP CLOSER AND I WON'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DEATH," the brunette threatens, glaring at the boy who had just walked out of the classroom, in an attempt to save his friends.
"I- I'm sorry!" He squeaks, running away from her, dashing past us.
The brunette turns around, arching her eyebrow at us as she stares at us.
"Are all of you just gonna stand there and admire me like a bunch of fans?" She muses, her velvety voice sending shivers down our spines, not in a horrific way but as if someone on a higher status was speaking to us and we had no choice but to listen with our heads down.
"Are you new here?" Leon mutters, too afraid to look into her harsh gaze. Her grey eyes were already melting our confidence.
"Obviously, not," she laughs sarcastically, "I'm the student president of this academy."
"She's new, dude," I mutter, glancing at Leon from the corner of my eyes.
"Get up, you fools," she hisses, glaring at the boys laid on the floor.
With one glare from her, they were up on the feet, staring at the brunette with fear in their eyes.
"Next time, if you mess with me again and catcall me or any other shit— consider yourselves dead. I will burn you alive and trust me, I will. Do you understand, you little pieces of shit?" She seethes, narrowing her eyes at them as they all nod their heads.
"Use your fucking words. You don't have a tongue for it to just sit there in your mouth," she rolls her eyes at them.
"I'm sorry!" All of them chorus, "Yes, I'll never do that that," they cry before running away from her, dashing across the hallway.
Even though I didn't know her name yet, I fucking loved her. From her looks to her attitude, she was someone I would grow to admire.
"Wow," Inés blinks in surprise, "That was beautiful to watch. I've never seen someone control people in that way on their first day. Ma'am, you're fucking amazing."
"Sweetie, you're exaggerating a bit," she smiles, shaking her head, "That is what I always do."
"We got two new students today. One is you and the other one is her, " Valère states, glancing at the grey-eyed beauty as he points at me.
"Good to know that today is not only my worst day but yours as well," she throws me a small smile as she walks closer towards me, her heels clicking against the marble floor, only hinting at the power that she held.
