The Saint's Academys

Three: Avani

Avani POV

 Upon entering the classroom Rose let to procure us seats as I met the teacher.

“Excuse me Miss, I’m Miriam Avani Castor. I’m new.” I said to her as I approached.

She looked up and stared at how my uniform was worn and I swear she had a conniption. Her face was redder than a cherry on the fourth of July and I could see veins twitching in her forehead and neck. It was rather intriguing to watch.

“What do you think you are doing? That is not how you wear the uniform, it is against the rules.” She shouted at me and I could see little bits of saliva fly from her mouth. EW, aint she ever heard of ‘say it don’t spray it’.

“I’m waiting for you to give me any needed materials for this class. That’s what I was told to do in each class. And my uniform is fine.” I said hiding a smirk as I crossed my arms and cocked my hip.

Her head looked like it was about to explode. “You are wearing the uniform improperly. Tuck the shirt in, pull the skirt up, remove the socks, and put the tie on where it belongs. And roll down the sleeves of your blazer. That is how it says in the student handbook.”

“No, it isn’t.” I said, losing all traces of any kindness I might have shown her. “in the student handbook it says ‘the uniform is composed of a white button-up shirt, gray plaid skirt, red blazer, gray tie, black school approved shoes, and socks or stockings if wanted. All components must be worn at all times’. You will notice that it does not say neck tie, nor that the shirt must be tucked in, or that I can’t pull the skirt lower, or roll up my blazers sleeve. I am wearing all components of the uniform, it does not state how the uniform nor that I must wear it as you see fit. Now are there any materials I need for this class?”

I smirked smugly at her shocked face. She was livid but far too shocked that a student had stood up to her in such a manner to do anything. Since she didn’t answer me I spun on my heel and went to sit beside Rose. I put my feet up on the desk again, leaned back, and proceeded to take a nap as the class chatted away, after all the teacher wasn’t about to start her lesson.

He grinned down at me, smirking as I whimpered slightly.

“Oh my dear Miriam are you in pain?” He asked in a sickly sweet voice.

I didn’t respond only cowered a bit, and that enraged him.

“Answer me when I speak to you b*tch!” He screamed and I flinched, he grinned at that.

“Y-y-yes F-f-father.” I stuttered, speaking through my haze of blood loss and pain.

“Yes what Miriam.” He sneered at me sculling a bottle of beer.

“I a-a-am i-i-in p-p-pain F-f-father.” I said as he approached me.

“Good.” He said with a sick smile and smashed the now empty beer bottle on my back and I blacked out.

I gasped as I woke up, but nobody noticed as they were gathering their things together and exiting the classroom for their next class.

Rose had been tapping my shoulder to awaken me, for which I was grateful. That memory wasn’t even one of the worst ones….

Sighing I stood up and noticed the teacher glaring at me. I smirked at her as I left with Rose trailing slightly behind me and I stopped so she could catch up.

When she did we linked arms and she lead me to the school’s café. The smell emanating from the room was heavenly, unlike most schools food which smelled better decomposing than fresh.

There was about ten choices; pizza, salad, pasta, chicken, beef, desserts, vegetables, soda, water, juice, coffee, along with numerous other choices. I smiled, finally some food. When I had last eaten was…. Far too long ago.

I decided on fettuccine alfredo with chicken and some fries, along with a cup of coffee. We swiped our student meal cards and sat down. Rose soon jumped up and tackled a boy with a huge hug. She began rapidly speaking Spanish to him and he simply nodded occasionally but he wasn’t paying attention.

“—Y eso son mi amiga Nuevo. Ella’s nombre son Avani, son un chica Buena!” She said as she pulled him to meet me. ‘And this is my new friend. Her name is Avani, she is a cool girl!’

“Avani, meet Liam my twin bro. He is an annoying as* but he is really nice. Sometimes. If he feels like it. We are Hispanic and speak fluent Spanish if you didn’t notice. Anywho; Liam, this is Avani.” She said beaming at me.

“Hey, nice to meet you. Are you the Avani, the new student that brought down both Mrs. Weber and Mr. Grouse? If so, forget being my sister’s friend and be my girlfriend.” He said eyes twinkling with mischief.

“Yep I am that Avani, but I’m taken already sorry. And why do all the boys at this school assume just cause I’m a pretty girl that I will go out with them. They don’t even stop to consider I might play for the other team.” I said with a sigh and a shake of my head. Rose had a hard time not busting out with laughs as her brother turned beet red and started muttering apologies at me.

Then Rose couldn’t take it and fell to the floor laughing and I joined her in laughing (not on the floor) and as I stopped I stared at Liam’s face. He looked really confused. Then he put two and two together.

“Wait, you’re not gay?” he said ticked. “And you made me look like an idiot apologizing for assuming about it too….”

“Nope,” I said popping the ‘p’. “And don’t worry Li-Li, you didn’t look like an idiot….. too much.”

Then the three of us burst out laughing again. Once we calmed down we sat down and ate lunch.
