Selena's Secret

Chapter Three:The Fight

Chapter Three: The Fight

Patting the pleated skirt, two inches above my knees, I looked at myself in the floor length mirror inside my new dorm room. Being a full scholar has it's advantages. I no longer need to worry about my apartment rentals and food expenses. A small smile grace my face as I grab my keys and wallet at the top of my study table. I have to grab something to eat before my first class. I don't want to get hungry and me being hungry means I'm moody. And you don't want to meet my moody self, she was intense, fierce and surely kick ass to someone who won't give their food.

Passing some students who are just getting out of their own rooms or just chatting away at the hallway, I can sense their stares at the side of my head with gossip whispers passing their stupid mouths. I rolled my eyes and flip my long dyed blonde hair behind my shoulder. Because of my new identity, I also need to change my appearance. Why blonde though right? You can say that my mother's dressing me up like a barbie affected it, but sad to say that its not the case. Sure, it influence the color choice. And I know for sure that my mother won't recognize me when she see me. She knows pretty well that I hate blonde hair. I don't like it because my mother like it. Get it? No? Oh well.

I know I act like a total bitch but an eye to an eye right? But I guess, I don't want to stoop low to their level so I walked with a blank face. Fidgeting the keys inside my front pocket, I walked inside the school cafeteria. Stepping inside, I feel a little uncomfortable at the sudden attention I get. Well, judging from the stares I'm getting, I know that they are wondering who I am and why I enrolled late. I ignore their stares and get myself a banana and yogurt. Yummy. I glance around the room, seeing that it's another cliche high school; jocks, nerds, goths, preps, cheerleaders, and loners, outcast. Typical high school.

Gripping my tray tighter, I walked outside to the balcony. The balcony is wide with tables, chairs and benches. It's a wonderful clear blue sky and not so warm or cold weather. Just perfect. I sit at the furthest table, overlooking the picturesque ocean. It was shimmering and glittering under the bright rays of the sun. I feel calmer and relax here. I wish I grab a hot steaming coffee before going here but it's still perfect. Glancing at my wrist cat watch, I smirked. I remember the time I got myself drunk and found myself slump in my old apartment couch, nearly falling from it. Shockingly, I saw the cat wrist watch. But it's not the most shocking part though, I felt a stinging and pain at the small of my back, I examine what's wrong at my wall length mirror and my eyes widen at the black inked tattoo saying, I'm a Bad Ass Chick. I laughed at my idiotic actions, I felt lonely and frustrated that night that I decided to let myself go insane for one night and that happened. Well, I think I do better. It's more okay that I got these than a man laying naked with me. I cringe at the sudden thought but feel relieve that that didn't happened.

Dumping the empty yogurt cup in the trash, I walked with my hands in my front pocket to my first class of the day. And of course, I didn't miss the staring, intense staring from the girls and some kind of different staring from the boys. Someone wolf whistled somewhere inside the room but I paid no attention. I proceed at the back of the class where clearly nobody is going to sit there. I mean I was deprived of human contact all my life so socializing maybe a bit uncomfortable for me. I glance out the window and zoned out everything.

I was suddenly pulled out from my la la land when I heard the bell ring. I noticed that everybody was packing and leaving the lecture room. Sighing, I stand up from my seat and walked outside. Bunking is more tempting than my next boring class. Keeping a straight face, I put my thumb on my lockers pad, a soft click sounded and the door to my empty locker opened. I throw the lecture book from my first class inside. I won't be needing that today or ever.

Biting my bottom lip between my teeth, thoughts of slacking and bunking is tempting especially that it has more pros than cons listed inside my head. I was pulled out from the listing game of bunking and not bunking when students started to whisper and grab there friend pointing somewhere. Feeling curious of what is happening, not that i'm into gossip. Okay, I'm just nosy. But the urge to see and know is somewhat tempting right now. I leaned down at the top of the stairs with the other students, my eyes narrowed at the three huge boys and a scared girl slumped at the ground. My jaw clenched when I heard what the middle boy said.

"What are you gonna do scholar?" Mocking her, the girl grip her ripped undershirt and cower back to the red brick wall. Not my business, I thought. Don't get involve, Selena. Crap. I shoved some students near me and jump from the top wall and land gracefully with my knees bend and both my hands touch the ground between my legs. I looked up at the startled, shocked faces around me and zeroed my eyes on the three boys in front of me. With menacing grin, I get up from my crouch position and glanced at the scared girl at the back then back to the three boys. Their shocked faces turned suddenly into a scowl.

"What do you think your doing girly? I raised one eyebrow at the middle guy. Clearly based on their formation, he is the leader of their group. Probably, the popular jocks bullying an innocent-, glancing briefly at the girl wearing black rimmed glasses, -nerd girl. There are two possible scenario going here; first, the jock want to pulled up his reputation by tormenting and bullying some girl and second, he has feelings for her. Don't ask, it's just my assumptions. But it's possible though, right? Narrowing my eyes at him then change to a bored look. I was mocking him by my glacial stoned stare. "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you know who I am?!"

I rolled my eyes at his arrogance. Seriously, do I have to know who this ugly creature is. Nope. "No."

His scowled get deeper, making his face even uglier. "Who are you? Why isn't that I didn't see you before or know you?" I just stared at him. "Are you mute? Stupid and mute. Well you looked at that." He laughed followed by his idiot minions then the rest of the students.

"I don't talk to ugly idiots."I said crossing my arms against my chest. I must hit a nerve because he suddenly stop laughing and glared at me. 

"Ugly?" His hands balled and he lunge at me. I smirked prepared for his attacked. I step one foot in front of me, punching him in the throat and the face. Blood ooze from his nose and he stumbled backward, his scared minions just stared at him with wide eyes. Pathetic. I walked toward the leader and wipe my blooded knuckles at his jacket. I patted his cheek, trying to wake him up from his sleeping beauty slumber.

I tsked. "I haven't punch you that hard and your out cold. Well, I guess still warm but seriously, from the size of your body your weak." I said getting up and motioned one of his minions closer. His eyes further widened and shake his head. Rolling my eyes, I grip his collar. "Listen up pup. Carry him, drag him or pull him, do whatever you want but get him to the nurse office. He must have a concussion. But, no biggie. If his not brought there immediately, you will see him six feet beneath the ground. If you get what I mean.." I trailed off letting go of his collar. Getting to his feet, both he and the other minion carry their leader away. Frowning at my reckless behavior, I put my hands inside my pocket and started to walked away from the scene.

But didn't help to notice someone following me behind.
