I knocked on the door to the school's conference room. I urged my self on, more like comforted myself before entering.
"Come in." Someone, who I was really certain was the principal called out.
I entered,my heart beating so fast you could hear it from afar."Who do we have here for the third time this semester?" The principal asked, not expecting an answer. She didn't seem happy to see me there again. I mean, who would be happy to see you before the disciplinary committee?
I swallowed.
I've been here countless times due to Naki and her friends. They never get caught in their mischievous acts. Yet, I can't recall a single time I haven't been caught. That doesn't stop me from paying them back. It's the same panel all the time.The principal, along with her two surbodinates.
"What brought you here this time, Gold? She asked me, her eyes boring straight into mine.
All the courage I had gathered before coming here had flew out the window. My legs were shaking like they were made from jelly.
"I poured washing...." I was cut off before fully elaborating why I was called before the disciplinary committee.
"Why in the first place would you pour washing powder in food that someone would consume? Forgive me but you're becoming heartless, girl!" The principal spat out.
Her words brought tears to my eyes. She seemed truly disappointed in me.
I hung my head, fearing to look directly in her eyes.
The principal sighed." Girl, look at me."
I slowly raised my head.
" I know Naki is trouble but please control yourself when it comes to her matters. The fact that she's always on your neck doesn't mean you should try to kill her."
I nodded in embarrassment.
She continued." I don't think your mother would be happy if she got to know you have been here again. You know I don't give warnings but I will this time. You'll be punished severely if you ever appear here again before the semester ends. I'll spare you by not telling your mom."
Surprisingly, her two surbodinates said nothing today.
The principal crossed her hands.
" Now leave my office before I change my mind. I don't want to hear even a rumour of mischief about you." She said sternly.I thanked her for sparing me and left. I let out a loud breath of relief once I got out. Maybe, they are tired of punishing me. That could be the only reason why I wasn't punished today. I thanked my stars.
I was still lost in my thoughts until a sharp pain in my right shoulder brought me back to reality.
"Ouch! Watch your way! Don't you look when you're walking?" The person I bumped into shouted.
The fact that I had bumped into you doesn't give you the right to raise your voice at me. I thought as I rubbed my bruised shoulder.
When I raised my head to look in the face of this moron and give him a piece of my mind, I couldn't.
He was so good looking that it hurt. All the words I had prepared for him somehow left my brain.
" Hey! Are you done staring?" He rudely asked. " Is that how you stare at people you met for the first time?" He added.
Now, I felt very offended.
"You id..." I started to say but he rolled his eyes and walked away.
I stared at him in shock as he walked straight into the conference room.
This did not just happen to me. How could I allow him to get away? And why the hell was I staring so hard? Idiot! I'll give you your piece the next time I see you. I muttered, as I walked back to the class.
My class is noisy as usual when I got there.
I scan the class for Esther and Nancy. They were arguing with Nakiyat over something as usual. These two never change. I shook my head and tapped Nancy on her shoulder.Nancy gasped. She and Esther bear hugged me. I coughed.
" You two want me to die now?" I choke. They mutter a quick sorry under their breaths and free me from the hug. I laugh."So how was it?" Esther asked.
" Well, I wasn't punished so I guess it was good? The principal wasn't very happy though." I shrugged.
" Why, did you expect her to welcome you with open arms?" Esther asked. She clearly failed to hold back the laughter wanting to escape.
I gave her a middle finger. She didn't look bothered at all.
"I don't know how you managed to pull that off, but thank goodness." Nancy added.
I agreed. My mom would have been very mad.
Just then, I remembered the guy I bumped my shoulder into.
" I was happy on my way here until one guy I bumped into ruined it." I announced.
" Who?" They both asked at the same time.
" Relax, people.I am going nowhere."
I smiled widely at the way they were curious to know this 'guy'."Class greet!" Johnson, our class rep announced and everyone rushed back to their various seats.
I gave Nancy and Esther the ' we'll talk about it later" look and rushed to my seat too.
" Good morning, Sir." The class said in unison. Mr. Azameti walked in, not bothering to respond to the greeting. The guy I bumped into followed. My mouth opened wide with shock. I covered it with my palm.
" Sit down." Mr. Azameti said.
He turned to look at the guy I bumped into. "Introduce yourself to the class."The guy nodded.
" My name is Leonard King and I am a transfer student from PRESEC." The guy said.
Nice name with absolutely no manners at all. I thought.
You could hear the loud murmurs in the class upon King's revelation.
" His looks are to die for..." I heard one girl say behind me and I gagged.
" Keep quiet or you'll work till you vacate the school." Mr. Azameti warned. The class became silent at once.
I held back my laughter.
" Leonard, you're to sit by Gold. She'll guide you." Mr Azameti told me.
I couldn't believe what he just said.
Guide who? This unmannered ass? As if I would.I opened my mouth to protest. I was stopped before I could utter a word.
"No objections." Mr. Azameti said as he wrote mathematics on the squeaky clean board.
" Really? I meet this psycho again." King rolled his eyes and dropped into the seat beside mine.
Who did he think he was to call me a psycho?
I will definitely not allow this." But sir, He just called me a...." I was not allowed to finish my sentence.
Mr.Azameti turned and looked at me.
"Are you trying to defy my order? Shut up and sit down, young girl! I'm quite sure I made myself very clear when I said no objections. Do not interupt my class!"
He exclaimed, not giving a care in the world about anyone hearing him.The class giggled. I glared at anyone I could glare at. I would have found it funny too if it wasn't me.
" Turn your text books to page number 43." He started to teach.
I looked at King, now in the seat beside mine and sat down in defeat.
He looked like I was not yelled at because of him just a moment ago.
If only he knew what was coming for him.Continue being happy while it lasts. I'll make sure you regret taking the seat.
I smirked at my thoughts.
