A Study On Destiny

33: The Trial Competitors

Lesso's lesson was so long and boring. Ana was practically scratching the table through her gloves to get up and go to the hall. She took no notice of Lesso continuing to be cruel, cold and heartless. (Don't tell Lesso I said that) All Ana did was look forward to her test score that she got on her quiz. She came... 3rd! Meaning as the wolves howled for the end of the lesson and her ranking updated she very proudly viewed her blazer, which now read No. 9. She proudly roamed through the halls, looking down on those around her. Her new power gave her this sour feeling in her gut that made her despise everyone around her. Even Jay walked next to her disgusted her. How could she walked near anyone lower than herself. 

Everyone filed into the hall excitedly for the announcement as to who would be on the teams for the trials. Ana confidently placed herself on the front row so everyone could see her when her name was called.

"Can we not go to the back? I don't like sitting at the front Lady Lesso is-" Before Jay could finish his sentence Ana cut him off sounding cold and full of herself.

"No. This is my moment and I want to soak it up. Look at all of them repulsing, all of them. I have finally made my way through this school, Jay. No body will take this moment from me," she uttered as Jay stared at her hopeless. This was not the girl he was friends with. What had happened to her? "Now sit,"

"I'm not a dog," He shot back before heading to the back leaving Ana on her own at the front.

It wasn't long before the Deans headed to their respective spots at the centre of the stage. Yet both Dovey and Lesso stayed a certain distance away from each other as they announced to the school to quieten down. The murmur quietened shortly and as the hall did so the deans started to talk.

"Now is time to announce those who are lucky enough to get into the teams to represent their schools in a Trial by Tale," Dovey said in her normal happy manner.

"We will announce each group and congratulate those who made the team," Lesso announced "Now for those in the School for Evil," Dovey was shooed to see Lesso go first. Good always went first but Lesso carried on as if nothing was wrong. "Those in the top 10 are Hester in No.1, Chris in No.2, Anadil in No.3, Hazel in No.4," Ana sat adjusting her hair and uniform waiting for her name to be called "Sophie No. 7," it was getting close to her name she couldn't wait for her time to come as she sat up straight awaiting number 9 "Hurbert in No.9,"

Wait! No! I'm in number 9. Ana thought and as Lesso finished reading out the numbers Ana's name was not called. "Wait! How is that possible?!" All headed turned to Ana "I was ranked 9th when I left your class and you all know it!"

"Yes because you wouldn't shut up about it," the girl with neon green stripes in her hair announced as the crowd erupted into laughter. Ana couldn't be more infuriated

"You can see on my jacket I am ranked No..." She paused and looked at her jacket. Yet the shiny number 9 that was on her blazer had vanished "25? How!?"

"Please sit down Miss Charming," Dovey said carefully while looking at Lesso to sort her students out. Yet all Lesso did was stand with no emotion in her face watching it all unfold. Despite all of this Dovey remained with a fake smile on her face.

"No I will not. Sit. Down. This is an out rage!" Ana burst out yelling as her hands grew hotter. Almost burning through her gloves at this point "I put all that work in and for what! Nothing, I refuse t-"

"The deans better watch out before they get barbecued look at her hands," the girl with green hair snarked again laughing at her fallen classmate. Yet Ana didn't respond instead she waved her hand and the girls mouth shut violently. Before thread started to pierce through her skin slowly sowing it shut. The girls mouth screamed a muffled "Stop! What are you doing?!"
