Chapter 3

(A/N- so sorry guys I haven't been on Wattpad in a long time and I was very busy especially this week! The BTS pic above isn't related to anything I t en story but I just I should put it there cause why not, I'm an ARMY!!)

We slowly walked down the hall and other girls joined us from their dorm rooms as well.

It seemed the auditorium was on the left as there was lots of noise coming from our left.
I turned in that direction but rather than seeing students going into the auditorium, it was a group of boys who were crowding around something or someone in the corner.
Their voices were overlapping each other's, but I got some words out from it.
".....you need.....your kind.........doesn't belong........get out of......."

They didn't make any sense.

I tilted myself a little to see who was the victim on the first day of school but Sahara came in front of me.
"Hey Maddie, I think we should leave them. They don't like to be interrupted." She looked worried.
"Do u know who the guy being bullied is?" I asked.
"No and it doesn't matter. Come on we need to go now."
Hmm... i will found out another time. And anyway what were they talking about? 'Your kind.....doesn't belong?.....get out?....'.
It didn't make any sense. I shook my head a little and followed Sahara.

There was an awkward silence between us and I didn't know how to start a conversation, after what we both saw in the corridor.
Aaahhh it seems that college is going to be a bit hard for some people.
.............................................................................................................................................

We were in line waiting to sit, in the auditorium, when I saw Hardin, a little in front of us.
His head was down, as usual, and he continued to ignore everyone around him.
People seemed to also stand a little bit away from him even though the auditorium was packed.

"Sahara shall we sit a little bit down over there?"
"Oh there? You sure?"
"Yea we will be closer to the front and we can hear the teachers clearly, you know."
Sahara nodded and we sat down on the same lane as Hardin.
He was 2 seats away from me and I didn't have the guts to tell the person next to me if they could swap with me.
I was looking straight forward when someone coughed in my mind!

"Don't even try to sit next to me."

WTH!!! It sounded like Hardin's voice yet it didn't seem that he spoke out loud.
I was shaking as a great chilling shiver went up my spine.
My legs were vibrating and I was panicking.
I stood up and decided that I needed to leave the auditorium.

"No, don't leave. You were the one who wanted to sit next to me, isn't it?"

I looked to my right and saw a strange sight; Hardin was smirking, smiling even.
My breathing got hard and I tried to communicate with him in my head.

But before I could the headteacher told me to sit down. My attention left Hardin and I looked around at people staring at me and whispering in each other's ears.
I blushed.
Sahara held onto my hand and pulled me back to sit down again. When she asked what had happened a cold shiver, again, went through my body,

"Are you going to tell her that I'm talking in your head? She would just laugh at you! So, keep yourself quiet."

"Oh it's nothing Sahara." I whispered, still shaking a little, "It's just that I thought I left...dropped my keys on the way here and I just wanted to go look for it." Sitting back down again, I nervously looked down but I could still see from underneath my arms, just catching my breath and gaining control of my own mind.
"Hmm ok." I caught Sahara looking past my bent head towards where Hardin was sitting, and she made an unintelligible sound.
I looked towards her but her head had already returned to looking forward again. She caught me staring at her and she smiled sweetly at me.
I returned the smile a little later. My mind occupied at what just happened.

What is wrong with this school?!
