The Hidden Jewel

Chapter 1: Backlashes

It was only the first class of the day and Sylvia has already lost her train of thoughts. They were learning about a time when people seek solace in history class. It wasn't her fault that her teacher's pedestrian tone is making her sleepy. When the teacher wasn't looking, she turned and looked at her childhood friends, Issac and Noah. Issac saw that she was looking at them and gave her a visceral reaction while Noah looked in amusement. Issac continued making reactions that Sylvia couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed out loud. "Ms. Jewel, what is it that's so funny to make you disturb class? Would you be so kind to share it with us all?" Mr. Grim said while glaring at her. Sylvia quietly stood up and said, "I apologize Mr. Grim." Mr. Grim looked away and let her off the hook this time. She made it through the rest of the class and quickly bolted out of there as soon as the bell rang. Issac and Noah stayed behind to wait for their other friends as girls from every class start squealing. As soon as Sylvia left the classroom, five other boys walked in which made the girls squeal louder. This made a group of seven boys which led to them being named The Seven Princes. Sylvia rolled her eyes with a smile as she waved back at the twins, Issac and Noah, telling them they will see each other later. As Sylvia walked out to buy some drinks before the next class, she saw a group of bullies harming a girl because of her family's status. "Useless garbage, how dare you dirty the floor and bring yourself upon the presence of our mistress," said the pigtailed girl next to the one with an entire outfit of pink with a tiara.  "Humph, I don't want to see that useless garbage. Get rid of it," she exclaimed as those bullies prepared to harm the girl. Before they even laid a hand on a hand on the girl, the teacher showed up with Sylvia behind her. Ms. Val narrowed her eyes at the bullies which caused them to gulp. She is known as the fire breathing dragon in the school for her uncontrollable anger. Ms. Val brought them with her to determine their punishment. The leader of the bullies glared at Sylvia, telling her that it wasn't over. Sylvia just walked over to help the poor girl caught in this mess and helped her out, ignoring the glares from the bullies.
It was near the end of the day when the bullies came to find Sylvia. They trapped her during cleaning duties and backed her into an ally while swinging their weapons with a smirk. The girl in the middle told one look at her nails and said, "get her." Thankfully Sylvia has learned self-defense since she was five so she was able to dodge everything easily. What she didn't expect was for a girl to sneak past her self defense as if she materialized right behind her without her knowing and hitting her. Sylvia was surprised but was held down before she realizes it. They punched her till she had dark bruises and only stopped when the leader of the group looked up from her nails. When the leader of the group walked in front of her did she remember who this bully is. The leader of the group, Stella, is the daughter of a rising CEO company that sold makeup products. Stella smirked before pulling out a knife and placing it near Sylvia's face. "Now now, we must teach this little wild one how to obey. Disobeying would only cause a disadvantage for you tiny one," Stella exclaimed while swinging the knife very closely to Sylvia's face. As Stella raised her hand to cut Sylvia, Issac and Noah appeared out of nowhere. Issac made Stella and her minions back off as Noah took off his coat and wrapped it around Sylvia, hugging her gently but tightly. Issac turned around to check if Sylvia was ok but only saw his brother's hugging her while trembling with eyes of hatred. Noah is a calm guy but he would never just stay calm when it came to people he holds dearly. Issac saw this and his eyes immediately burned with rage while charging at the bullies. Stella's nose would've been smashed into her skull If Issac's friends didn't hold him back. "Issac, I'm ok," says Sylvia. This calmed Issac a bit as he rushed to her and said "how is this ok?! You are covered in bruises and would've been cut if we haven't arrived!" Sylvia gently smiled and closed her eyes which cause the boys to freak out immediately. The wise ones in the group quickly told the boys to bring her to the nurse's room as one of the boys who clutched tightly to a shining orb mumbled, "has it been brought here..."
