      ' Hey! You are Derek Porter's daughter right?' A boy asked and Jasmine smiled. ' Yes,he is my father.' She replied and some of them said' Wow ' in surprise.
           She walked towards the chairs and Evans covered his face immediately.' Hey, Miss Jasmine. Come sit beside me ' A boy offered politely. ' No, don't bother...um...I will sit here.' She responded and before Evans could decline,she sat beside him. ' Hi there.' She said but he didn't reply.
               ' Am talking to you. Oh, Evans?is that your name?' she asked as she sighted his name on a book on the table. He quickly took the book. ' Yes,am Evans.' ' Nice name,am jasmine.' She replied and realized he did not want to talk to her.' we will talk later.' she added and faced the other girls.
             They had few classes and then went to then got alerted for brunch. They went to the school canteen, Evans picked at his mother's food as he was not in the mood for food. He distanced himself from " that new girl" but she kept sitting opposite him and this made other girls who admired her cause she was famous surrounded her and they talked freely.
               Suddenly some third year students came towards them. Immediately the girls saw them,they stood up. The four guys walked up to Jasmine and Evans. They all sat remaining one of them because the other chairs were occupied.
             ' Hey. You, stand up!' one of the guys told Evans and he looked at him. ' Are you talking to me?' He asked. ' Who else? We want to have a chat with the new girl,so excuse us.' He replied and Evans smiled lightly.
            ' You must be joking,this is my seat and I can't stand up. You should be the ones to excuse me.' The boys looked at themselves in amazement. ' It seems you are also new here.' Another guy replied. Jasmine enjoyed the interesting moment and kept quiet. ' What is wrong about am new here? We all have equal rights and trust me you can't bully me.'
            ' Wow ' Another guy with a long brown hair clapped. ' I really like this guy,such confidence and boldness. Who do you think you are?' He added and pushed Evans on the shoulder. The other students watching stood up, knowing the kind of guys they are.
            Evans stood up not wanting to create a scene, turned to go. ' Such a coward! He can't wait to get beaten.' Another guy said and the onlookers laughed loudly. Evans stopped for a moment and could feel anger brewing inside of him. ' Not all fights are meant to be fought,I came to college to learn not to fight like some sort of loser.' He replied and walked away.
               The onlookers clapped and made silly sounds to the four guys. The guys felt bad and one of them carried a chair and threw it towards Evans.
           ' Evans!' He could hear Jasmine's voice shouted and sensed a danger from the back,he didn't know how but he swerved flexibly and the oncoming chair hit the wall with great force that it shattered. The students became shocked and clapped this time louder. Jasmine was dazed at such speed and walked up to him in fear.
             ' Are you okay?' She asked. ' I'm fine.' He replied and Jasmine went to the guys. ' Cowards! How can you be so cruel?' ' You might have escape that,but trust me bad boy is coming tomorrow. He will destroy your ego.' One of the guys said to Evans, avoiding Jasmine and they walked away amidst the students booing them.
             They walked to evans.' This is the first time some one will challenge them,they are so wicked.' A student said. ' Their leader is bad boy,he is very cruel. You should be careful.' A boy said.
            ' I don't care but what I did now will teach them not to bully students again.' He replied.' That was very brave of you, evans.' Jasmine said as she smiled sweetly. ' Thanks.' He replied stornly and left.
           She smiled amidst the students. Finally,she found him. Her search was not in vain. She finally found the leader of the pack,she beamed as she looked at Evans as he left.
            He stood in front of his locker wondering how he got that energy to dodged that chair when suddenly someone ran past him and all his books fell. He felt as if that person used a special force to breeze past him.
        He turned and looked at her. He observed her dressing,she wore a sleek black jean and black jacket which was unbuttoned showing her black shirt. She was raven-haired and everything on her was black. Her hair covered half of her face so he could not see face well.
             ' You should not be running like that in a college.' He said and bent picking his books. ' Are you the new guy in the college?' She asked. ' Yeah......' Get used to it,this how we run even in the forest.' She interrupted and turned. Evans got angry,he despise bullies and cheaters.
           He walked to her and wanted to tap on the shoulder but she swerved! Just like him! Evans could not describe that energy,it was undescribable. She beamed as she saw the shocked look on his face. ' You have to be faster Evans. You are going to lead the pack, you can't be a leader if you are slow,so work on that.' She said and walked away.
           Evans became amazed, how did she know his name? The pack? What did she mean by that? He suddenly realized he saw a sign on her neck. He had like that sign on his back, something like that!
         He looked around and noticed she was gone. Maybe to her class....he really needs to talk to that girl. ' Brunch is over, everyone to your classes.' His wristwatch beeped telling him brunch is over.
             Evans was restless in all of the classes that had. Jasmine also noticed this and decided not to bother him. When it was time for them to go home,he looked for her round the college and became disappointed as he couldn't find her.
