The school board had organised a meeting for the entire school. This happened rarely.
Unless someone had done something really bad or they had something really important to tell us.
We were in the school's auditorium. All the teachers were present.Whispers flew across the whole room.
" Be quiet all of you!" Lucifer's voice came through the microphone.
Everyone was quiet. She was quiet for a few minutes scrutinising the room before she spoke again.
" You may all be wondering the reason for this gathering. For years Riverdale High has been run by the school's authority and without them trust me you all would be doomed. It is with great regret that I announce to you that Mrs Ferguson will no longer continue as the headmistress of this school due to her.....retirement. She will be greatly missed."
Some of the students murmured .
"But don't be alarmed. It is with great honour I announce to you by the power vested in me that your new headmistress would be none other than me, Ms. Lucy Graciela Miller." She said.
Everyone booed.
" I'm sure she has been planning this for a long time." Dalia a girl in my class whispered to me.
" Sure enough." I answered looking straight ahead.
Ms. Lucy announced that there would be some changes in the school to which none of us were looking forward to. Afterwards, we went to our various classes.
Her speech made me exhausted that morning. Ms Ferguson had been headmistress from the very first day I came to the school. I'm sure they could have found a better replacement. Lucifer ?Seriously. We were all going to burn in hell.
In our previous computer class, the teacher was telling us to create a class group solely for educational purposes. I closed my laptop and placed it in the bag . Looks like my permanent seat here in this class was besides Pisces.
" You don't really like speaking to people ." I remembered him say.
I was startled at first but regained my composure .where was he getting at with this.
I do maybe I just don't speak to you.
" You think so?" I asked.
"Yeah..". He was about to continue what seemed like a conversation but thankfully Dave called me so I left.
Now, what I normally did whenever I was bored was to write in the journal Camille gave me. I named it Journey. I never thought I was the diary kinda of girl but here I was keeping one. It was a great hobby though , like this right here.
Hi Journey. I really don't know what to write right now. Okay let me start with an introduction.
Name: Libra Arielle Kushner.

And that's pretty much it.
Ms. Lucy's voice came through the speakers
" Good Afternoon my lovely students. I want to give you guys a little motivation for this Afternoon. You are here to make it. If you think you can't, you are free to walkout remember, Education is not for the weak! And the poor as well. So pay up if you owe any tuition fee. That's all for today my champions.
Her 'motivation' ended with a beep from the intercom. This lady was deranged. I thought it was her outfits that were a problem turns out her whole being is.
I don't know when or how it happened Journey. I'm pretty sure it was his face. Yes it was definitely his face. I couldn't help but steal glances all the time. It was so smooth. Staring at the side of his face was becoming a habit. He was always concentrated with what he was doing. I wondered if he ever caught me and just didn't say anything. Every time I try to deny it that I don't feel anything. A month has gone by already. And I'm still in denial.
"Ugh Ms. Lucy is sure driving everyone crazy in this school." Dave said." Can you believe she wants to get us a new gym instructor."
He was right. The other day, I remember how she creeped behind a junior and yelled at him through her megaphone.Telling him to get to class. The boy was just tying his shoe lace in the halls. I'm sure he was terrified.
" Hm she's the new head teacher now. So what can we say." I answered looking around as we walked in the school yard.
Dave stopped in tracks. I turned to look at him, I wonder why he stopped.
"Did you not hear what I said." He asked astonished.
"Yeah I did." I answered
" I don't think you did, because the Libra I know would be in a frenzy if she heard that there was a possibility that her teacher/crush will be substituted." He said.
" I did hear you well." I repeated.
"So.." He asked." Oh is there a new somebody I don't know of?" He asked.
" Derek was never my crush." I lied to avoid his question.
He scoffed in unbelief. " Girls really are liars."
I rolled my eyes .
We sat on one of the benches outside. It was recess time. I relaxed my body.Everything was stressful these days. With final exams coming up,Lucifer's bullsh*t and that one somebody , I just felt like drowning in a peaceful lake and never resurfacing again.
" Hello?" Dave said snapping his fingers in my face.
I came out of my reverie.
" Excuse me who are you? Cause you're not Lib." He asked.
I rolled my eyes." I'm just not in the mood Dave. I'm exhausted."
" Okay. Girl trouble I very much understand."
I looked at him weirdly.
We had computer class next. My heart started racing.
