ALL FOR YOU

CHAPTER 3: Ground Rules

Mr burley twitched in anger. He really didn't like late comers.

"to what do we owe this honor, young miss" he asked, sarcasm clear in his voice.

" am sorry, I was in a bit of a situation, it won't happen again".

"am letting you off the hook this once because you're new here. Since we're at it, do you mind introducing yourself". He said and I expected her to maybe look down at the floor while talking as quietly as possible, but no. She walked proudly to the front of the class and flashed a million dollar smile.

"hi, am Samantha.. "she started and the class broke out in laughter. Well except me. As if realizing her mistake, she cleared her throat and started again.

" I go by the name Samantha Aroura Smith, I recently transferred to empire high and I look forward to a stress free stay at this school." she said and bowed her head a little. Well if that isn't the loveliest voice I've heard all day- I didn't just compliment a girl, did I. Of course I didn't. That was obviously a big mistake.

" since your the second late person today.. " he said looking at me. Oh no, please no.

" you are to be paired with Mr Murphy for this session." he finished and there were loud murmurs from every angle. What the hell did I do to deserve this.. This.. Blessing.. Punishment. I don't even know what to call this.

"and who would that be" she asked and he pointed to me. She followed his hand and our eyes met. You would think it's that moment when we just stared at each other, our eyes filled with joy, excitement, or maybe even lust. but no, her eyes held pure anger. She huffed, gave me burley a disapproving look before strolling down and taking her seat beside me. Without even a glance, she opened her laptop and leaned her head in her left palm on the table and crossed her legs underneath. Her sitting position told me wasn't anything close to a nerd. Yep, she definitely amongst the dumb bimbos.

" well miss Smith, we were in the middle of a brain teaser before you stepped in. I asked that if there were to be an invasion, what living specie are most likely to survive. Miss Duncan, could you please repeat your point" he said, and Thelma stood up, shot me another winning smile and spoke up.

"I said insects. due to there small sizes, they can easily manover their way out" she said and once again, they all clapped.

"okay, who has a contrary opinion" he asked and one of the tech nerds spoke up.

"umm.. Ro-roborts. They are designed to physically withstand pressure" he said and his technical counterparts cheered, but we're soon cut short by the sound of her voice. We all turned to face her, but she wasn't in the least bit intimidated.

" am pretty sure the teacher made himself clear when he said living species. Robots are machines" she said raising her eyebrows at the boy that had just spoken. Embarrassed, he took his seat and buried his head on the table.

"miss Smith, I think I am the teacher in this class. If a student is wrong, I don't think it's in your place to - "

" humans. " she said abruptly, silencing the whole class, Mr burley included.

" what?" he asked.

"humans, that's the correct answer" she said.

"do you mind explaining further" he asked.

"as long as we humans stick together, we can overcome anything, be it an invasion or worse". Ha I bet he didn't think of that- heck, even I didn't think of it.

"I believe she's correct" he said and there was a loud roar of clapping hands. The bitch turned and glared at her, but she shrugged her off like she was the least important person alive. I hate to admit it, but am actually looking forward to this semester.

We had the first three classes together biology, physics and English, and we were grouped together in all except English. I entered the cafeteria and saw Lola at our table. I walked over and placed my food on the table.

"hey, have you seen Sam, I asked her to seat with us today". She said and I chocked in my sandwich.

"what! , why would you do that"

"well after what happened this morning, I felt it was only polite, more so, we're friends now. " she said and I sighed.

" well she should be here right." I said scanning the room. I saw her, but in the worst seat ever.

"umm.. Lola"

"Humm... "

" where's your friend supposed to meet us?"

"here, why?"

"she's kinda sitted at the NDT right now."

"oh my God. Well let's make her leave before they get to her."

"it's a little too late for that" I said pointing at the table.

" come on, Thelma and her friends aren't gonna spare her, you have to make her stop."

"why?, she not the first to get tortured, why do I have to get involved? " I asked her

" Go, hurry Ethan" she said and I sighed and walked over to her table. I took a seat at the far end, but still in hearing and seeing range. She had a freaking lunch box on the table. Come on, who brings a lunch box to empire high when we have an entire eatry as a cafeteria.

"okay bitch"thelma said to Samantha. Ha, look who's calling who a bitch.

" let's make some ground rules here. am the Queen in this school, not you. You can make things easy for yourself by not stepping into my spot, or you can stick with difficult and I promise you that you'll regret every transferring here. Am I understood. " she asked.

" easy has never been my middle name." she said and picked up her lunch box along with her school bag. Thelma picked up a plate of left over lasagna and dumped it all over Sam, her friends topping it with ice-cream, cheese and ketchup. Before I could react, Sam pulled her by her Blazer and slammed her on the table.

"I could retaliate right now, and dump food all over you as well, but that would be a waste, cuz you ain't even worth the price of nothing here." she said and there was a loud oooooo... Running through the cafeteria, followed by laughter. Sam released her and headed out the cafeteria.

"you think you're funny, don't you Sam. Well let's see how funny you look in hospital clothes" Thelma said and threw a plate full of cream, an empty glass cup and a knife her way. I got up to help, but Sam turned around just in time, catching the plate in one hand with its content still intact, her other hand held the cup before it could get to her. The whole cafeteria stood dead still as we all watched where the knife was headed. We all gasped at the piercing sound that was heard, including Thelma. My breathing hitched as I slowly looked in her direction. There were blood droplets on the floor and I looked at her only to find her smirking, the knife hanging firmly on an apple, and a small cut on her hand. She took a bit out of the Apple, and dropped the plate, and cup, shattering it. She walked over to Thelma and placed the knife embedded apple in her hand.

"these things are very capable of hurting someone" she said and stormed out of the cafeteria. Phones were out in less than a second, and pictures of Thelma's stunned expression were being taken, and I just stood there, amused.
