Chapter 9 - Chapter 9 suspicion

Daniel got out of the hospital soon after his last check up and can continue to go to school.

12 and 10 were sitting together at a dinner table with Gabriel busy cooking. It was an awkward situation between the two because of what happened yesterday.

(FLASHBACK)

After all the beating up they were called by Brian.

"Why did you that?! Didn't i tell you to be careful?!" Brian shouted as 12 looked at the ground upset.

"But he hurt 10..." 12 said.

"*sigh* fine I'll forgive you but nothing like this should happen anymore" Brian said.

"Give the phone back to Gabriel" Brian added.

———————

"Gabriel be extra careful about those two this will surely catch the attention of 'them'" Brian explained.

"Yes sir" Gabriel replied sternly.

Brian hung up and Gabriel put his phone back in his pocket and walked to the two.

"Let's go home for now" Gabriel said.

12 and 10 are inside a car while Gabriel is driving. It was a silent drive and none of them dared to break the silence.

The car stopped in front of a medium sized apartment it was located at the end part of the village.

12 and 10 were leaded by Gabriel to their rooms.

It was dinner time and 12 and 10 were sitting at the dinner table while Gabriel was busy cooking in the kitchen. It was an awkward atmosphere neither 10 or 12 talked.

"Thank you for getting back at him for me 12" 10 said.

"It's okay he was a jerk anyway" 12 replied.

"Aren't you right about that haha"

"Haha"

Suddenly it was silence again and the awkwardness got even more bad when they started talking.

"WHY ARE YOU SO SILENT?!" 10 SHOUTED.

"I SHOULD ASK YOU THAT?!??!" 12 REPLIED.

"I can't believe we got so awkward because of that" 12 said.

"Well it's the first time we interacted with people like that" 10 said.

"I know and i didn't expect to be that troublesome" 12 said.

"But we should get used to it" 10 said.

"Yeah" 12 replied.

"But i kinda prefer this than us being locked up into the same room for years" 12 added while she reminisced their time at the lab.

"But let's be careful for now on Brian was so mad at us earlier" 10 said.

12 nodded as Gabriel came out of the kitchen with the food.

"Let's eat"

———————————

12 and 10 got to school feeling nervous with the thought of their classmates reaction to what happened yesterday. But surprisingly they entered the classroom and everyone had those serious eyes like when they just entered, not knowing the true reason behind this.

12 and 10 sat down at the front side of the room like they did the first day.

Minutes passed and a teacher finally entered. At this point 12 and 10 had no idea of what a school is and what it's for.

The lesson started and 12 looked around everyone was intensely listening and writing down everything. She looked at 10 who was absorbed into the lesson with shining eyes as he adored every word snd concept he is learning.

12 wasn't that interested in listening and just observed the pictures and that's it. However she suddenly felt a burning sensation on her shoulder. She looked at her back and their she saw a girl staring straight at 12.

12 didn't think much of it and decided to just let 10 know later. From time to time as the lesson was still ongoing she would glance at her and the girl was still staring.

12 sighed in relief as the lesson finished and the teacher left the room.

10 looked at her smiling with gleaming eyes.

"That was amazing! Don't you think so?" 10 asked 12 excitedly.

"Yes yes it was amaaaazing" 12 said bored.

"I can't believe information is that is to give and absorb!" 10 said.

"Oh yeah 10 i got something to tell you" 12 said.

"Hm?" 10 said curios.

"The girl at the back she kept on staring at me the whole time" 12 whispered. "Don't look okay she will notice"

10 turned his head to the girl who was once staring now avoided his eyes.

"You mean her?" 10 asked.

"I told you not to look!" 12 said threatening to hit 10 but backed her hand.

"Why is she staring though?" 10 asked.

"How could i know?" 12 said.

"Should we ask her?" 10 said.

"No! That's way too embarrassing" 12 replied.

"Suit yourself as long as she isn't doing anything it's fine and let's mention it to Brian when he calls ok?" 10 said.

"Okay" 12 replied.

"Oh yeah the girl who was always with you where is she?" 12 added.

"I heard something big about her" 10 said as he gestured 12 to come close.

"Her family owns this building" 10 whispered.

"Her?!" 12 said as she gasped but got silenced by 10.

"Don't be noisy the one who told me said that she doesn't like it being mentioned" 10 said.

"But she isn't here" 12 said.

"I heard she wanted to be at the top class" 10 replied.

"Class?" 12 asked.

"Class is somewhere you have classmates and someone comes in to give information" 10 explained.

"So like a secret meeting?!" 12 said.

"No! Stuff like numbers letters and history like stuff" 10 replied.

"Ohh but why did she want to be there?" 12 asked.

"Don't know but let's forget about her she was annoying anyway" 10 said.

"Don't talk about her like that she owns this place!" 12 said lightly hitting 10's shoulder.

"Ya! You know you're light punch is a normal punch for someone like me!" 10 whispered angrily.

"Oh yeah sorry" 12 replied.

"How about the dude trying to make you his girlfriend" 10 asked.

"Oh please! It wasn't like those in book! He stand of sweat and was creepy!" 12 said disgusted.

"It didn't feel like a prince at all?" 10 asked.

"No!" 12 exclaimed.

"And you know what els-"

"Student 12 and 10 please come to the principals office" the microphone at the ceiling said.

"It talked!" 10 said holding 12's head to look at the ceiling.

"Eh?!"

While the two were busy having a mental crisis because of the speaker Gabriel knocked at the door. This caught 12 and 10's attention as they saw Gabriel telling them to come outside.

"Gabriel where are we going?" 10 asked.

"The principal office" Gabriel replied.

"Principal?" 10 again asked.

"The principal owns and rules this place so you two better be well mannered in front of her okay?"

As soon as they heard this 12 and 10 looked at each other remembering Clara's parents owned the building.

"I think i really should teach you two about this plac-"

"You mean Clara's parents?" 12 asked.

"You know her?" Gabriel asked his voice turning tense.

"Yeah i think she liked 10 or something" 12 said.

Gabriel stopped from his tracks as he sighed annoyingly at 10 and 12.

"You two should have never be connected to someone like her... i knew it this place is a had idea" Gabriel said as he rubbed his forehead from annoyance.

"Why?" 10 asked.

Gabriel continued to walk and followed by 10 and 12.

"You won't know but this sudden call to the principal says it all..."

"What?"

"You two must have pissed of that girl she is known to be ruthless to those who annoys her"

They finally reached the principal office 12 and 10 stood in front of the door as Gabriel left as soon as they reached the door. 12 and 10 got nervous because of Gabriel's words about Clara.

10 knocked on the door and a female voice replied in a mature way, "come in"

10 entered the room with 12 following behind. There they saw Clara and someone who looks like Clara sitting on a chair. It was obvious with Clara's eyes.

She was about to unleash hell itself to 12.
