I strolled down the corridor, my steps not being heard because of some noisy students. Clenching onto the straps of my backpack, I heard a little infamous noise coming from a room. I peeked through an open space created by the door.

"Eh? Answer me!" I gulped on seeing Megan bully a junior girl, from SS1 A. Sharon was busy grinning evily as Megan oppressed the junior, while Betty just stood around the corner, waiting for any orders from Megan.

"I-I'm so-sorry senior-"

Tah!

I flinched and released a small gasp, covering my mouth. The junior girl held her cheek, feeling the lingering sensation thrown at her. She stared at her feet, as a tear drop fell from her eye and rolled down her cheek.

"What do you think of yourself? Because you just graduated to senior secondary, you're beginning to have wings, eh?" Megan gripped the girl's hair, squeezing it tightly, causing the poor girl to yelp in pain.

I think I leaned too close to the door, because what happened next was unfortunate. The door flung open because of my weight, and I fell to the floor because I was using the door as support.

The ugly scowl I got from Megan, caused my heart to pound against my chest- it was at the verge of bursting out of my chest. Fear engulfs me, so I quickly stand up and race out of the room before anyone says anything.

I held my chest the moment I escaped the predator-panting heavily, as I felt my heartbeat bang! What was all that about? Fate playing nasty tricks on me again!

I almost got myself killed!

We just finished civic education, and Ms Sade packed her books and dismissed herself from the class. I checked the timetable that's pasted in front of the class, close to the board. I couldn't see it clearly, considering where my seat is located. I squinted my eyes, trying to see what is written on the timetable.

My eyes hurt, and I gave up!

You can just walk over to where it's pasted, you know?

"And risk getting stared at? No way!" I snapped at my subconsciousness. I grabbed my phone from under my desk and unlocked it. I went straight to my gallery and scrolled through all the pictures. I stopped when I found the picture I was looking for- a snap of the timetable I took on the first day of school.

Jokes on you timetable on the wall!

I glared at the timetable on my screen and saw the next agenda, free period! I celebrated inside my head and took out my Harry Potter book.

I got distracted, taking a few looks at Ivan, watching his friends, Segun and Raymond, crowd his seat. Judging from his facial mood, it was obvious he wanted some peace, but those two didn't get the hint.

I could see Raymond's mouth moving like a parrot, but I couldn't hear a single thing. My seat is pretty far from his. I rested my chin on my palm with the support of my elbow on the desk, swooning over Ivan.

Gawwwdddd! What a creation!

"Universe why?" I mumbled to myself.

"What did the universe do again?" I looked up to see Joy staring at me. "Always dissing the universe," I let out a small laugh.
