Battleground of the hostel

Chapter 6

The whole class that was as busy as a garden where birds chirps and the bees buzz, suddenly became quiet as if a huge shadow fell on them and I noticed how all eyes were at the front of the class, a blonde guy that wore a white t-shirt with blue jeans and a silver chain hanging around his neck, his clothes were as basic as mine but based on his physical structure and good looks from his broad shoulders to his perfect jawline with veiny hands, and his movement was so smooth as he casually walked past his adoring fans to his seat and I can't believe where his seat was, his seat was directly beside me,
I could get a waft of his cologne, it had a bit of lavender in it with other pleasant smells perfectly woven in each other.
So my seat is among the high profile people of this class from people like Evelyn to guys like Ryan, girls were drooling over Ryan, including Evelyn her facial expressions were a bit plain but her eyes spoke volume.
" Uhm, so Ruby immediately after school is over you will meet us at the dance theatre". Evelyn said trying to snap out of the spell that Ryan kept her under.
" Okay". I said with a deep breath .
" I'm not trying to make you feel nervous but I have to inform you that the principal will also be there alone with some few other students to watch you dance". Evelyn said giving me a gentle squeeze on my shoulder.
Had it not been for the fact that I was trying to be cool my hands would have been shaking a lot but I did break a few sweats even with the cool atmosphere of the room.
" I'm not nervous". I said smiling and later looking at the white and blue walls for the class while having a mental breakdown, I'm going to dance alone, I always dance with Sasha, I tried to calm down while absorbing the environment around me from the walls to the marble tiled floors the blackboard and our wooden desks, as I was busy absorbing this new learning environment my eyes met a hazel color eyes, those were Ryan's eyes.
" Oh, hi ". Ryan said smiling at me, I was utterly shocked that he actually acknowledged my presence I thought he would be like Dustin that only talks to people that are on his level. And that's so abnormal cause guys with good looks like his will be so absorbed in themselves with an inflated ego.
Well he's not that hot when you want to compare him to Dustin Trevor, I mean even from the kiss we shared you can feel the heat from it, the heat of Dustin Trevor.
After some few classes the principal called us together to address an important issues. I was left alone in the crowd that made me felt uncomfortable but what made me almost pee in my pants was when I heard one of the students say that probably another student died. I didn't come to this school to be haunted by some witch that takes delight in killing young, innocent students, I was brought here as a form of punishment and I realized that what if I'm not able to leave this school alive, what if the witch sees me as a tasty victim, I felt the room spinning in circles and I was finding it hard to breathe, I was already imagining a dark figure with glowing eyes in the dark, anything but the dark, I just can't do anything while being in the dark . I felt a hand on me.
" Are you alright?". Evelyn asked me
" Ye... Yes". I was even finding it hard to pronounce one word because of my fears.
Suddenly Ms. Maxwell called our attention and addressed the issue, her expression remains cold, no sign of empathy or remorse when she says these words.
" Last night we lost one of our students due to unforseen circumstances, her name was Diana, she didn't stay long in this school, I hope that we can find a way forward after a loss of a new student". Did she just say hope?, unforseen circumstances?. This woman isn't even trying to lie that there is a sickness that's killing us, she is so plain with us with no sign of worry, I was observing her she didn't even break a sweat nor was she fidgeting but here I am sweating as if the temperature in the room is like the temperature in the Saharan dessert .
" I'm sorry you have to hear this on your first day in this school". It was Ryan, he stood beside me his facial expressions calm, his hands in his pockets and his eyebrows relaxed. I just forced a smile and nodded my head in affirmation .
I had to calm my nerves cause after all this freak show I'll have to do a dance try out to show them what I've got and I can't be doing that while sweating my life away.
School hours went by pretty fast that when the school bell rang for the day I was shocked that time went by so quickly.
" Okay so, I'll see you at the dance theatre". Evelyn said before strolling off to wherever she was going to, it's not my fault I didn't remember where that place is I wasn't paying much attention to the principal, I'm only counting the amount of days I have left in this school.
Oh my God! Wait a minute, I don't even know what kind of dance presentation I'm going to do. I walked down the hall fighting the urge to bite my nails, I couldn't help but notice that any group of girls that I walked past will all whisper in hush tones and some of them even snorted at me, that's when I was more conscious of my body posture, I don't want to give them any hint that I feel less of myself than I already am, so I straightened my shoulders and kept my head held high, just like the way I used to walk with Sasha.
" Okay Ruby, I just talked to the principal and she thinks that it's best if you do your solo performance during visiting hours in front of parents and other pupils". Evelyn addressed to me in the dance studio.
The dance studio is so beautiful mostly the stage with the wooden floor looking polished and the seats beautifully arranged, and the walls were painted like the rest of the school, blue with a touch of grey and black.
I breathed out a sigh of relief when I found out I'm not going to be dancing, and Evelyn told me it's because the principal stumbled on one of my dance videos on TikTok, yeah I'm shocked she saw it too.
I couldn't help but notice that Ryan was just staring at me throughout and then he strolled out of the room, leaving a faint smell of his lavender in the room. So I'm now going back to my room to be with Tina, I mean I prefer to stay with any of the students that are in the dancing club, I can even stay with a person that smells like socks but has a great personality than to stay with Tina.
