An Exemplary Student

Chapter 4 - Contact

 When I was going to get up from my seat, a boy with a sinister air approached me. He looked at me for a moment and then said.

When Skell and I entered class, absolutely everyone stared at us, including the teacher.

- ???: Good good good. Don't you know that we have a schedule? -exclaimed the teacher with a quite alarming tone- And who are you? -she looked at me.

- Oliver: That's the new linnet in the class! -he shouted and everyone started laughing. When I wanted to go towards him to give him a smack, Skell grabbed my arm and shook his head to tell me it wasn't worth it.

- ???: What are you waiting for? Sit the fuck down! -the teacher shouted.

The surprising thing is that Skell sat with me. Normally he sits alone in a corner, but this time he sat next to me.

- ???: Well, since you are new I will introduce myself. I'm Miss Thavel, the language teacher. With me you will learn that languages are a fundamental basis in our lives.

I thought: "Damn, again the nonsense of who she is, what her subject is, what the hell are we going to do, blah blah blah".

When Miss Thavel started class, I raised my hand.

- Miss Thavel: Yes? -She looked at me.

- Alex: Can I go to the bathroom? -I asked.

- Miss Thavel: Uhm, sure but don't dawdle along the way -she said with a small tone of distrust.

I got up from my seat and headed to the bathroom. Upon entering I closed the door, stood in front of the mirror and looked into my eyes. I had been at that school for a short time and honestly... I couldn't stop thinking about what happened with that idiot Oliver. Suddenly, footsteps could be heard outside. Some steps that seemed familiar to me. The person in question... Well, I don't need to tell you who he is. He opened the door and entered.

- Oliver: Look who we have here. -he said in a mocking tone. The surprising thing is that this time, he was alone- Are you coming to do your makeup?

- Alex: Shouldn't you be in class, idiot? -I said without looking into his eyes as I was concentrating on the mirror. Oliver approached me, pushed me and put me on the wall.

- Oliver: Look, you have me sick with your lack of respect. -at that moment, he took a small knife out of his pocket and put it against my stomach- I wouldn't like to have to hurt you.

- Alex: Do you think you're going to intimidate me with that? -I told him without cutting my gaze with his.

- Oliver: You should... I could kill you here and now -he said with a smile on his face.

At that moment, I smiled too. I rolled up the right forearm of my shirt and took the knife out of his hand. I looked into his eyes and cut a small cut on my wrist. That resulted in a trickle of blood starting to drip from my wrist.

- Alex: Is this what you want? Do you want to see me bleed? -I said, looking at him intently- Do you think that because you come to threaten me with your nonsense that you are going to scare me? -when I finished making the cut, I returned the knife and went to clean the wound.

Oliver said absolutely nothing, but instead looked at the knife that was covered in my blood and turned around. He left the bathroom and went back to class.

- Alex: That's what I thought... -I said whispering.

That's it for chapter 4 of the book "An Exemplary Student"!

In this chapter there's a little of blood because I wanted to start slowly. But little by little the intensity will increase.

Also say that this chapter is a little shorter than the others.
