It was another typical school day. Monday. Last week concluded the midterms so today should be when the rankings and scores would be announced. Since this was the case, many students flocked towards the wide bulletin board of their respective grade levels. The administration had always been posting the names, scores, and rankings there
"Yo, Chris!"
A young man with a fair complexion, leaned but toned built, and handsome face, turned to his left. There, one of his real friends, Larry, not from Floyd's gang, could be seen rushing to his direction.
"Good morning, bro! How's your score!"
"First!" Larry jokingly answered.
"Oh, from the bottom of the list?" Chris chuckled.
"What? So confident in your score that you belittle average students like me?"
"Wow, where did come from?"
When the other guy caught up with him, they strode side by side and then joined the crowd of students peeking at their rankings.
Once they reached the rear, they noticed that there were more students than usual. Or probably the obvious commotion in the front was just giving him that illusion.
"What's going on?"
Chris shrugged at Larry's question and tried to crane his neck to see where he landed on the long list.
From behind, he heard someone answered Larry.
"It's Miss Sofony! She's with her best friend, Miss Wendy. As far as I know, Miss Sofony just found out about the Goddesses List."
"Oh? That's odd. The list has always been pinned at every bulletin board in the campus. How did she manage to only find out today?"
"Well, she's a nerd who never pays attention to bulletin boards aside from when it's a time like this. Announcement of rankings" shrugged one of the onlookers.
Larry was somewhat excited by the news so he pulled Chris to the front. And there they saw two beauties standing in front of the side bulletin where the Goddesses List was pinned. A radius of two meters was vacated around them. People probably knew they had to give space to beauties so it was like that.
"Oooooh! It's true. Goddess Sofony only found out that she's now on that list! She's still acting dumbstruck! And it's very cute!"
Chris' lips twitched. His eyes went to the long-haired scholarly beauty standing next to the Miss Number One of their level. He knew the girl because she's been the topic of interest of a certain bastard that he hated. She's currently a well known nerdy since people always referred to her as such. However, that's her only shortcoming, a shortcoming that was actually already a thing of the past given the fact that she's not wearing eyeglasses anymore.
'What a very fair skin.' That was the first thing he noticed when she saw the clearly embarrassed woman.
"Miss Sofony is very amazing. Last week she lost her eyeglasses and then became more active in her classes. Many classmates like her due to her kindness. She always makes sure to help people out, especially those who ask for studying tips. She's much more approachable than her friend. Very admirable."
"She's also working part-time, you know. Her dad is kind of a jerk, or so I heard."
"Lol, I don't know and don't care about her dad. All I know is, I'll be glad to die if I could date her!"
"Dream on!"
"Hey, stop speaking like that about her! She's a goddess of our campus now, you know. It's blasphemy to dirty talk with her name!"
'Wishing to date someone is dirty talking? What the fuck?'
Chris shook his head and left Larry there in the middle of the gossip-mongers and stupid-mouthed boys. He went to where the main bulletin board was and checked his name.
'Twenty-first huh. Not that bad. After all, the whole grade has more than 500 students.'
His eyes searched for a particular name after confirming his. Chris frowned because Felicity's score and the name were on the lower side and he couldn't help blaming that certain bastard as his brain immediately assumed that it was because of him that Felicity, his beloved childhood friend, did not have much time to study.
'That guy is really no good for Felicity!' He furiously thought.
"E-excuse me." A female voice came from his right.
He was knocked out of his stupor by that female voice and he couldn't help tracing its source. It was quite a surprise for him because he later recognized the woman to be the root of the disturbance earlier. However, she's now so close to him and this time he could see that her most prominent aspect was not her very fair and smooth skin, but her very soul-stirring eyes.
'This Sofony is really beautiful.' He subconsciously exclaimed in his mind.
Chris mentally shook his head to clear up his thoughts. He then moved his body to the side to make way for the female student. The girl gave him a polite smile and nodded before tiptoeing to search for her own name.
"I'm glad you've now moved on from that," behind her, another beauty appeared and laughed.
"Wendy, I'll think of what to do about that later. Maybe I'll hunt the publication before the class and pull them out for a polite talk, but for now, there's something else for me to do. Let me see first how I fare with my exams. I'm nervous, really."
"If your results are not good, you should probably really consider other part-times."
The wavy-haired girl stood next to Sofony. Chris knew she's the widely known Wendy, the never shaken first ranker of their batch thus earning the moniker 'Miss Number One'. He reckoned the reason why the girl didn't bother looking actively at the posted results was that she's very confident that nobody could dethrone her.
"Resigning from my part-time? I'm still broke. Not doing that ever. And the part-time is very easy. I've already fallen in love with the people and job." The scholarly beauty smiled and then joyfully exclaimed. "I'm still part of the Top 10! Of course, you're the always number one. Haha. Wendy, look, my name's fifth!"
"Ah! That's good news!" The two girls squealed in joy, to the amazement and surprise of everyone present.
Even Chris blinked at them, especially when he's one of the nearest onlookers.
"I know it's a great thing to celebrate about. But why scream this exaggeratedly?" he asked to himself. Actually, he said it vocally but fortunately the two people didn't hear him as they were still busy jumping and dancing in glee.
He secretly commented, 'If these two are only not pretty, maybe people would start volunteering by themselves now to throw them out of the school.'
He left the scene by himself because Larry was still enraptured by the two goddesses. It was still not class hour so the other students were not in a hurry to come back to their classrooms. He was also not inclined to do that so he took his time strolling the corridors.
One instance, he passed by a deserted room which was the last one of the left wing's ground floor. Well, the door was closed so he thought no one was in there. However, he later could hear some playful noises inside. Two people, based on the voices, one girl and one boy.
'Doing that here? In the early morning?'
Chris' face crumpled in disgust. He realized why the voices were so hushed, suppressed, but wild and also incoherent. What other kinds of witchcraft could produce reactions like that? The girl was obviously panting and gasping from pleasure. That kind of pleasure. The boy was also groaning and raining her dirty talks with hurried breaths.
When he drew close, he saw who the boy was. A familiar face.
'Ah, so it's the newest addition to his gang.'
He wondered who the girl was. If ever he saw or crossed her, he would immediately avoid. He didn't like women like her. For goodness' sake, this was a school. She's being done like that in not even a proper place. Had she no respect for herself? Or was she just too open-minded to care about respecting her womanhood because the pleasure of flesh was so overwhelming? Chris really couldn't understand.
Unfortunately, the girl was facing the wall adjacent to the side of the windows and her face was covered by her hair. She's on all fours, her partner grabbing her waist from behind.
Chris frowned and looked away. He decided to leave. It didn't sit well with him that there were two shameless people having sex this early in the morning inside a place meant for learning.
When he had already stepped more than ten away, he seemingly heard the horny guy calling out the girl's name. He frowned because he seemed to hear 'Felicity'. Shaking his head, he sped up his pace and convinced himself that he merely heard wrong because there's no way his childhood friend would be that person.
She's the girlfriend of Floyd Cruz, a bastard who should be so arrogant to tolerate his girl being played around by somebody else. Thinking about it made his heart uncomfortable, but this was the only way to assure himself that he really heard wrong.
If only Chris knew what the truth was...
In the classroom, the boy Chris referred to as the new addition to Floyd's circle, Jiro, leaned closer to the girl. "Lady Boss,... I saw Chris peeking."
Felicity grunted and turned her head to the man enjoying her from behind. "Boy Jiro, you almost, aah, angered me. Know the rules... Hmm, aah! Don't let him know. Don't call my name!."
"Too late. But don't worry. Boss said he's the In Denial King."
Once Jiro came, she pulled herself up and pushed her current partner to the floor. A man's low scream resounded but it was replaced by a groan later on.
"Just do what I say, okay? Ah, so good. Jiro, ah! This is so good. How do you feel, boy? Loving the experience?"
The man was still inexperienced but he did his best to match Felicity as he let her ride his rod. When the class finally started, the students were puzzled by the strange smell. But Felicity and Jiro went back to their own classes before anyone else could find out, even acting as though nothing happened between them. Only the laughing bunch of her boyfriend managed to guess about it correctly.
