Hotel Selten

Chapter Two

Ophelia went to their cafeteria, students aren't arriving yet because the bell just rang, she went to the cafeteria's counter. "Can I have some chicken soup please?" She handed two-dollar bills as the lady in-charge received it and walks to the steel cauldron and as she takes off the lid, a big puff of smoke came out, the chicken soup is hot and warm, perfect for a cold and chaotic morning. The cafeteria lady scoops some of the soup into a red plastic bowl, filling it as she places it on the counter. Ophelia then gets it and grabs some spoons and fork. She settles herself to a table in the corner while students in the cafeteria start to increase in numbers. She sips on the warm soup as she watches the students file into lines and go to their favorite tables.

She thinks of what happened just earlier, her ability to throw Gary off his feet, she can't really believe it. She raised her right hand and twist it around to observe it. Her hand is as pale as her body, so why could she lift her hand gradually and make someone fly off the ground with it? Noting that Gray is a boy, whose strength is a lot better than hers. It could've been a show, but Gary was injured, his head got bumped hardly on the floor. They can't make these to their selves if it's their life are at risk.

But for now, there are some things that Ophelia needs to focus on now. Gary's father is a biggie in their city, which made her gulp. Now, how can she face her parents, especially her mother? This is a heavy injury that she brought on her classmate. She can't stop thinking that she is just sipping her soup under her deep thinking. She is scared, she can't do something to defend herself. She could've let the bullies scared her, it's much better

Then, someone approached her, well, two of them, specifically. "Hey, weirdo. Before we leave this campus and have a beauty rest for 2 weeks." Ophelia raised her head and she startled. "We will miss you, Lia, so we prepared a big show for you." Lily looked at her chicken soup, "You like that huh? You can have some more!"  Neva suddenly poured something gooey on her head, she was holding two bowls of chicken soup. They laughed and rushed to exit the cafeteria.

Ophelia now was filled with warm soup, she screamed in pain as she feels the heat. Students start to take a peek at the scene as the two who caused this runs away through the crowd. Suddenly, a loud crack can be heard. The students looked where the noise came from. The big water jugs exploded, making the water inside it fly through the air and scattered everywhere. Running Neva and Lily suddenly slip on the floor, bumping their heads on the ground like Gary did which made them unconscious. Ophelia, who was filled with a lot of chicken soup wipes herself clean as the students gather around the sleeping embodiments of evil. Some students help them to go to the clinic as the cafeteria crew cleaned the mess. Some checked Ophelia as she walks out of the canteen, crying. She went to the comfort room to clean herself up fully.

She washed and let her dress messed up. She was called to the principal for the second time this day. She doesn't know what happened to the two. She was busy suffering from the soup they poured on her. She arrived at the principal's office a little bit messy, she preferred herself to stand, not to mess the office's sofa.

"Miss Hutchinson, what chaos have you been involved in again in the second time today?" The principal asked a little bit of annoyance can be heard in his voice. "It wasn't me, principal, it was Neva and Lily!" She explained. She looked around the office, neither of the two was there. "I know. I know. The students said they poured... What was that? Chicken Soup? Yeah, that soup on you. Care to tell me why?" He then goes to his typical position, her fingers intertwined to each other as his arms laying on his office table, waiting for her to answer. "They said it was their goodbye for me, since they are suspended for two weeks, they will miss bringing misery to me. And then Neva poured Chicken Soup to me because I was eating one as my lunch." Ophelia said while standing in front of him, moving her legs also while speaking. "Alright. Do you have any involvement in the―" The principal was caught in his words as his office's door shut open, making a loud bang. Ophelia was shocked, her body bounces as her reaction.
