The legend of lost guardians

Chapter 2: The Guleph Lake highschool

'Before we began our today's lecture, please hand over your essays that I gave you over the weekends and Peter if you failed to hand over your assignment again, I am afraid I will have to give you a week worth of detention.' The boy named Peter groaned which clearly indicated that he had not done his homework.
"But as you have already notice we have five transferred students joining us today so i think it would be best to introduce myself first" she said softly. She was a tall women and she wore a simple white dress. Her black hair was tied in a bun and she wore black glasses which showed her big brown eyes" My name is Natalie Andrew but you can just call me Ms Natalie and I will be your home room teacher for this year. I will be teaching you english and I have asked our class president, Jack,  to make some copies for you that covers most of the things i taught during the month. I hope you find his efforts helpful."  They all looked at Jack with a grateful smile and Jack, who has dirty blond hair , returned it warmly. They began their lectures about different ways of writing letters and some tips about how to make their letter more formal and informative. They barely talked and continued to write notes on their own. One and half hour later the bell rang, signalling the end of class , Ms Natalie left them with an assignment of writing an letter to any local official, advising them about something, and actually send it to them to receive an answer.
The students had barely exchanged a conversation when Mr Parker entered their class. Mr parker was a broad shouldered man with small moustache. He however didn't  felt the need to introduce Himself and got started with his class immediately. Fortunately, the class haven't covered anything new other than what the team had learned in their previous school (note that they were only transferred to the new school after being in their previous school for 1 month) , so they were able to understand everything perfectly. The lecture was as boring as any other Math class and they were relived when the recess bell rang after an hour. The kids started to get up in groups to head out for lunch and Lorean quickly engaged herself in a conversation with Sarah to complain how rude Mr Parker was and how Ms Natalie should have at-least gave her a chance to introduce herself properly. " yeah right, so you can tell the whole class that you're the richest person here and you consider everyone else below you, that would make an amazing first impression" said Rife savagely. " I think she already made that impression by coming in a sports car" Idden urged. They all noded in agreement. " I didn't meant that ! I just wanted to tell them who i am and what my goals are and What I want to beco— ". "I don't think people here will like to hear about that" said a soft voice behind them. They all look around to see Jack who was smiling warmly looking at them.
What makes you say that" said Lorean her eyebrows raised. "Well most people here are rich so everyones goal is inherit their parents businesses" when lorean couldn't think of any comeback she simply glared at him, "except for few of course who came here through efforts." He looked at Ellen and smiled. Ellen blushed immediately. For some reason this greatly annoyed Rife and Idden .
" I am Jack , as you know I am class president and Its very nice to meet you all"
" Thank you for writing our notes , they were really helpful" said Sarah  cheerfully. " No problem and please don't mind Mr. parker he has always been like that. He doesn't like students much , I don't think he even knows all our names yet.' They all laughed while Lorean shrugged. " Since you guys are new to the school Ms Natalie asked me to show you guys around the school during recess. Is that okay ?' They all agreed except Lorean who made a fuss about not wanting to roam around school while everyone was at recess but when they advised her that she can stay behind and bound with other students, she reluctantly joined them while Jack showed around.
" The first floor has most of the class rooms , including cafeteria and two libraries. One on the east side and one on west side. The second floor has common rooms for students , also gyms and community centre for clubs." " This school has a gym ?" Exclaimed Idden excitedly. " well its a private school so you can expect great events and festivals in this school" said Jack happily. He showed them the libraries as well as the cafeteria. When they were heading for second floor , a girl with high pony tail stopped them suddenly. She had a badge attached to her blazer which said ' Head girl'. " where exactly do you think you are going ? ' she had a sharp voice which gave a sense of power and superiority. ' oh Hi Emily" he blushed, " These are the new transfer students that Ms Catherine informed us about. Ms Natalie asked me to show them around in recess" she fixed them with stern guaze. Sarah and Ellen smiled shyly, Rife shamelessly winked , Idden awkwardly averted his eyes , Lorean boldly starred back into her black eyes. " Very well" she said " but don't stay at the second floor too long , you know the rules" and with that turned while flipping her long hair and walked away. They all rolled their eyes. " well that was Emily she is the head girl and she is in charge of discipline. You might find her a bit bossy but she just likes her role a bit too much" he said shyly. " bossy? I think i have found a competitor for Lorean." " Don't compare me to that tall girl. She is not even this close to being me!!" She made a small jesture to justify herself and they all laughed.
They climbed the stairs and reached a tall corridor, which was fully decorated with posters about clubs and upcoming events. Jack showed them the gym , which was a big tall room and it had every equipment you could possibly think of. The students atleast get one class off everyday so they can spend time in gym or just be lazy and sleep in common rooms. The common rooms were nice cozy small rooms with comfortable sofas everywhere. There were four common rooms, two for girls and two for boys , all four included shower rooms as well as a mini fridge with snacks. (The school fee includes snacks as well the as food) .
Community centre was at the end of corridor and it was the largest room in the floor. It has several tables set here and there, probably left by other students, and each table has a sign which displayed different club name. "This is the community centre" Jack explained as all five of them looked in amazement. " All the clubs take place here, its mostly busy as students in clubs are always doing something. You can sign up for any club you like and hang out here after classes are done. Just summit you application at library and the leader in-charge of your club will see if you are illegible and let you know!" " what kind clubs you could join?" Asked Sarah'
" well it changes every year, there's gardening , reading( Rife made a disgusted face) , some do sports and theres a-lot of other fun stuff, you can check the list at the library"
They all headed down to the first floor when Ellen suddenly remembered something ,
"So who is Ms.Catherine?". " she is the headmistress here" Jake explained " but no one has actually seen her. The council of discipline , that is to say the presidents , head boy and girl , receives her instructions via email." " What you mean no one seen her ? I mean she is the headmistress she must come to school for speeches and events." Said Sarah.
" well she doesn't come, and that is why she is one of three unknown mysteries of this school."
Their eyes glowed and widened. A sense of excitement rushed through their bodies. If there was one thing common  in each of the characters, that bonded them despite their different personalities, it was the desire to have adventures, excitement and curiosity. Anything to do with mysteries, myth or a mere urban legend, it intrigued them greatly. " Three mysteries you say.." Rife eyes burned  as he said this. " what are those?' Asked Idden quickly. Jack, sensing that this topic had caught their attention more than anything else, smiled broadly. "Well , one I already told you , that no one knows who Ms Catherine is and how she looks like. No ones even seen her or talked to her not even the teachers, some people say that she is actually a criminal and had made huge amount of black money, and thats how she built the school'
" thats so cool!" Said Rife immediately " who taught this boring school would have an criminal running it(its just a theory ~ Jake )" " or she might be some famous celebrity" said sarah excitedly. " or maybe she is just ugly and doesn't want to show her face" said Lorean  reasonably. They all also considered this as possibility. "I think we should be more worried that a criminal runs a school in which we learning" said Ellen quietly but no one noticed her remark.
'All of them are actually possible' Jack said enjoying the fact that everyone was interested, " well The second mystery is classroom 11T" "classroom 11T? What does tha- '  "Let him talk lorean" Rife cut across her, " yes please continue Jack" he beamed.
" Its the last class at the end of corridor of first floor. Long time ago, I think it was 13 years ago, a girl died in that classroom while the school was hosting a event. No one knows why she was there when the school was celebrating  at the garden. And no one knows how she died. Some say she had health issues while others say she was murdered. The autopsy results were never released to the public. But i doubt that' he said hastily as he saw the impression on Ellen and Sarah faces, "If it was a murder the school would probably be sued or closed at the worst." "Great a school where headmistress might be a potential criminal who hides from society and where girls get murdered. Seems like a perfect place for us." Said Lorean sarcastically. " It is" said both Rife and Idden while they exchanged curious looks. Sarah too was excited by this information. Ellen, however, like any other normal girl, was rather worried for her safety and made a oath to never go near that classroom. ( perfectly knowing that she would eventually go there because of others but at-least the effort was worth it). "That's not all of it, heres the thing. Ever since the girl died weird things started happening in the classroom. The light bulbs always flickered, the windows get cracks in them even if the school changes them, kids stuff kept disappearing and some even say a girl in black hoodie sometimes studying in the classroom" they all exchanged astonish looks. It could be not be more clear that to them a ghost haunting a classroom was the best thing they could ask for. "People say the girl that died still haunts the classroom but the school closed the classroom now to stop the rumors and just said that the class was too far for students" " thats a nice excuse there" said Rife " so do you know the girl who died?" " me? Oh no I don't sorry, You see after the girl died, the records of all the students in that year disappeared. So no ones know who she was, only her classmates but most of them are not here anymore since it was 13 years ago and we dont even know who was in that class since there are no records" " how come the records all disappeared ? Thats very suspicious" exclaimed Idden' " thats the mystery, some say the school destroyed them others say someone stole them." "This is getting more exciting then I thought" Rife said joyfully.
"So whats the third one ?" Asked Sarah. " well its the best one, its the mystery of th-" but at that exact moment the bell rang meaning that their little detour of school is now over. "I need to go" said jack hurriedly, " i need to make sure everyone goes to the classroom, Peter and the other kids kept on bunking the classes, you guys should go to the cafeteria and grab something. The next class is physics, and Ms lily is really nice, I will let her know you will be back in 10 minutes" with that he hurriedly walked over the last few stairs and disappeared through the corridor. "oh man just when he was about to tell best one" Rife exclaimed in  disappointment.
"We should go we need to be back in 10 minutes" with that they  hurriedly walked towards the cafeteria.
