CHAPTER 3

Hello again. Here is the next update.

* ~ * ~ * ~ *

The hallway was damn silent as I tried to find my way to the administration office. I passed a few classes on the way and saw how they're so focused to the teacher in front. Shit, I'm getting so nervous. Then I heard people talking, coincidentally it was inside the administration office. I knocked softly and open the door slowly hoping I wasn't interrupting anything.

I saw the back of a guy, who wasn't that much taller than me but he has a seriously buff body which made him look obviously shorter than other average height guys.

He was trying to negotiate something with the clerk I think, who looked like she was around her 40s.

"Give me some slack Miss Fen. I've only been absent a couple of times. No big deal." The guy said nonchalantly.

"Your couple of times Mr. Jackson is exactly 15 days in just this month." The lady said barely containing her irritation to this rude guy.

I went closer to the counter. When she spotted me, her expression soften.

"What can I help you with dear?" She addressed me and ignored the guy. I glance at the guy beside me, he was hanging his head down probably frustrated with the talk just now.

"I uh, I'm the new transfer student," I said, giving her a small smile. I felt the guy stare at me when he heard I was the new transfer student. But I focused my attention to the nice lady in front of me.

"Oh, so you must be Miss Cole then. Welcome to Ruvoun High." She gave me a smile and started handing me some papers. "Here is your schedule and a list of the references required for the subjects you're taking." I took the papers and nodded. "Have you seen the school ground yet?" She asked to which I answered no.

Then Miss Fen faced the guy and gave him an angry glare. "Mr. Jackson, you will show Miss Cole around the school and after school ends, you will have 4 hours of detention." The guy groaned. "Go before I add the hours to your detention." She threatens.

So now, I was put in an awkward position, standing in front of the administration office with this buff guy. I wasn't sure what I should do next, so I waited.

He was ruffling his own hair before he remembered I was there. "Uh, sorry about that. The name is Mike."

He stood facing me giving me a killer smile and I finally got a clearer look at him. As I mention before, his buff body made him look short but he was still taller than me. If I'm 5 ft 5 in, then he's around 5 ft 6 in or 5 ft 7 in. He is sort of good looking, with that goofy smile on his face, and that messy brown hair with his angular jawline. But I wasn't impressed with his attitude earlier.

"I'm Ellie. You don't need to show me around. I can explore on my own." I said and walked away from him. He muttered something under his breath but I can't make out what he said. So I ignored it.

I was withdrawn from everyone for the rest of the day, so I didn't manage to make other new acquaintance. I did meet with Mike again in a few of my classes but I pretend like I didn't know him and he did the same.

It was a peaceful day. I didn't bother anyone and no one bothered me. That's what I thought until I heard a few of the girls talking about me in the toilet.

"Did you know, I heard the new girl is such a slut. I heard she tried to make a pass with Mike." Girl number 1 said.

The hell! I thought to myself. They're talking about me. Girl number 2 said "She did? That bitch. She's so fucking plain no one would give her a second look. Maybe that's why she's so desperate." They laughed.
