Black Section

Chapter 4

Lunox's Point of View

"My name's Lunox Radcliffe. 18 years old. Nice meeting you all," as I introduced myself. Short introduction as its finest.

"Why would a student transfer in the middle of the school year, isn't that suspicious?"

"Is she a spy? Trying to destroy this class?" I've heard enough murmurs.

"I'm neither a spy nor a suspicious person. I got kicked out of my previous school and ended up here. That's my reason, any more questions?" I thought they would intimidate me somehow but, I got my hopes up, they just looked like normal students to me. Are they delinquents? Rebels? Or... more than what I think it is?

Someone stood up. "You heard her everyone. As the vice president of this class, shut up! Let's welcome our new classmate, Lunox Radcliffe," the students clapped. Uhm, so, that's it?

"But of course, she's still a newcomer here. A rule is a rule. It isn't fair if she doesn't go through to the same initiation as all of us, right?" Added Selena. Curse you, Sele! I thought we were friends. And an initiation? Are they some kind of a cult?

"There's a reason why they put you in this class. It's either you're just like one of us or a spy, an insect, or a pest." The vice president's dark aura is starting to show. "Cut to the chase. What do I have to do to gain your trust?"

"Bow down to me." She's mocking me. I went near at her. I looked at my side and saw a pen, nice, g-tech. I was about to bow down, "good girl," she said in between, then I quickly grabbed the pen and point at her neck. I chuckled when I saw her shocked face. I know, everyone is in state of shock. No one predicted this will going to happen. "I told you she's something else!" Except Selena.

"Y-You!"

"If I were you, I'll better shut my mouth because any moment by now, this pen will be inside your neck," I said as I looked directly in her eyes with a deadly look. The tension was cut when someone barged in. I let her go and went to an empty seat and sat.

"You never failed to surprise me," said Selena. "Thank you for helping me."

"Anytime for a friend of mine." She said then winked at me. I rolled my eyes. We talked for a while when I heard a one of the chairs fell down.  "But, pres! Leomord!" "Shut the fvck up, Odette! Act like a vice president not a bvtch. Lancelot, teach your girlfriend some lesson." He said and left them and went on his seat which is beside me. How great. So, his name was Leomord? "How's your day, Pres. Leo?" I greeted him sweetly.

"Don't act like your innocent. You caused this mess. Seat still and behave," said Leomord and sleepily buried himself on his desk. He's not in a good mood, I can tell.  On the other hand, I need to gain the trust of my classmates. They're looking at me as if I'm an outsider.

Not a single teacher attended their chosen subject. The secretary of the class wrote the tasks that we should do every subject on the board. Even the teachers don't like them. I only got information about the school having four sections; Class A, Class B, and Class C but not this section. I tried to search Black Section in the school website but there were no results. Is Pedelton High School hiding the existence of this section? Why?

I looked at Leomord. He's the president. He knew all the information and he can answer all of my questions lingering in my mind. I need him.

Playtime's over. First, I need them to trust me. I don't want them to be suspicious of me. How can I do my job well if they guard every move that'll do?

"I'm getting straight to the point. I don't trust you, all of us don't, but I know you're also confused. We've been there, make us acknowledge you. I don't know how will you do that, find ways. I'm also confused why the school put you here if you don't know anything, I mean all of the students and the teachers knew, but you? The school director has the guts of letting a transferee transfer here? If the director let you transfer in this section, I think you're no ordinary one just like us. I still don't trust you.  I just want you to know this." She said and left. Knowing this, how should I handle this?

Three days went by, but I'm still stuck in my position. All of my classmates don't trust me. The only person I can fully talk to is Selena, and I'm sick of her already. "Lu! Lu! Lu!" Chill Lunox. Chill. Compose yourself. It's just her. Get used to it. "What?" Pretending to smile. "I forgot your name; can I call you mine?" I can't take this! I stood up and squeezed her head. "Lu! That hurts, aw!" She said in between.

"Class! On your seats!" The class suddenly went on their seats. Oho? After three days, a teacher finally showed up. I thought I'll be self-studying this school year.

"So, you're back, teach!"

"Why did you come back, fvcker?" This is surprising. They like him? The teacher just smirked. "Did you all miss me? I just have a business to attend to. And oh! We have a transferee. I knew you already introduced yourself, but kindly introduce yourself once more?" I think I don't have a choice. I stood up. "Lunox My name's Lunox Radcliffe. 18 years old."

"Nice meeting you Ms. Radcliffe. My name is Franco Hablewitz, the black section's adviser." He introduced. A crumpled paper flew towards his direction. He caught it and threw it back to that person but that person dodges it easily. "I thought that's my chance." He's Lancelot if I remember it correctly. "Not your day, kid," said Mr. Franco.

"I've heard that you didn't cause trouble while I'm gone. I congratulate all of you on that. Ms. Radcliffe, now that I'm here. They will go back to being trouble-makers, in advance, pardon me." He said and I nodded. "After class, Ms. Radcliffe, come to the faculty. I'll tell you what you want to know and the director already informed me. By the way, we'll have an activity later, be sure all of you are present. As of now, do what you want to do. That's all." The class went wild. Aren't they tired of this cycle? Not that I hate and like school but...

Most students left the room and few students stayed. I saw a bunch of guys took out a pack of cigarettes and left the room. And the officers... They gathered in one place.

"What the fvck, Odette? I don't agree. This is bullshvt. Admit to yourself that she definitely crushed you and you're angry about that. Don't use your power just because you're a vice president. Treat her equally, like the rest of us. If you don't..." Selena said. She went near to Odette and slightly hold her forehead down to her chin and put it up. "You'll regret it." A knife suddenly goes in between of Odette and Selena. "Stop. I'll be the one to decide," stated Leomord.  Selena put her hands up like she's being arrested. She looked at my direction and winked at me. "C'mon, Lu! Let's go out and breathe some fresh air. I don't like the smell in this room, it's rotten and polluted," said Selena. I got up and followed her as she went out. I looked back and saw all of them are watching me.

I'll be one of them by the time I know the secrets of this section. Today is the day. Be patient, Lunox. As if I'm scared. Just wait and I'll find you, whoever you are. Just wait...
