Chapter 6 - Chapter Six

Shenny strolled across the trimmed lawns of the school headed to nowhere. She was actually lost. Where was that stupid guide anyway?

She looked down at the two books in her hands. Headmaster Kayan gave her these books. Her mind went back to the weird looks the Headmaster and Reinda kept giving her. And then the voice. She'd heard it before...somewhere...but where?

Before her mind could whirl some more,she hit a solid chest. "Ow! What the hell,you bamboo wall!!" She hissed. Seriously? Bamboo wall? Shenny chastised herself inwardly.

"You should remember that you walk on solid ground and not in the clouds. Watch where your going." A deep voice retorted. Shenny looked up to see a handsome male with fiery red hair and a sharp jaw. He was well sculptured and well defined,one could see that clearly. He wore a cravat and uniform just like others though his had more gold than blue on it.

He had his hands in his pockets and gave Shenny the arrogant vibe. Thankfully,Shenny didn't stare and jumped right back at him. "Well,pardon me for the misbehavior,young sire,but if its a tradition here for people to stand still right in the middle of the road of an oncoming individual then I beg to see with the Court."

Surely,they had a Court,right? They always do. And apparently she was right. His lips curled into a snarl. "Don't speak of the Court with such disrespect,you lowlife! You should be extremely honoured that I agreed with Headmaster Kayan to waste my time to be your guide."

Oh...so he was the guide,huh? Shenny rolled her eyes,hands akimbo. "Oh. Wow. Lovely. Magnificent. Glorious. Impeccable. Wonderf-" She was rudely cut off with him spinning on his heels and snapping at her. "Just follow me,you brat!"

Shenny smiled and curtsied. "Why,of course,lovely sir." And hurried after him. This dude had serious ego problems...like ones that needed immediate medical attention or shall ruin his medulla oblongata for more years to come.

He was walking at an incredible fast pace with those enviable long legs making it hard for Shenny to keep up. "Changing room for juniors,locker rooms for juniors,toga room for juniors,restroom for juniors...What's your name?"

Shenny smiled. "Oh? So we're playing Twenty Questions? Why didn't you say so?" She fake-giggled. "No,you go first." He sighed and spaced the space between his brows. Heavens above,the girl was giving him a migraine. "Prett Arland. You?" He asked.

"Shenny Russel." She answered as they walked towards two large double doors. "Shenail? I take it?" She nodded then frowned. "Prett? What kind of name is that?" Prett scowled. "Our name's are generated from our native tongue,Kørhïne. And they carry great power according to their meaning. Prett in Kørhïne means one that is birthed in fire. Do you have that feeling...when you call my name,that gives you this weird feeling...the chills and tells you to take caution?"

Shenny blinked at him and touched his neck. "Dude,I think your sick or something. Did you take your meds today,boy?" Prett growled and swatted her hand away as they neared a door. "You are so aggravating. Here's your first class,History. Find some unlucky person to lead you to the next one." He turned and began to depart.

"But Prett-y...dont you wanna hang out? We can play house and have tea parties together! Ooh! And I can dress you in my Micky Mouse costume!!" She fake squealed. Prett hurried away from the scene,muttering about what obscenities she spoke of and how dare she call him a mouse.

Shenny laughed and pushed the door open. She met the gaze of up to twenty people or more. She walked to the back of the class and took a seat by the window. Boys were staring at her and the girls too,though they threw her envious and disgusted looks.

A blue haired guy who was sitting in the group of boys and girls got up and made his way to her. He was ruggedly handsome with that die for smirk. Shenny figured that he's the type of guy that could get into any girls panties he wanted. Well,not this hooha buddy, she thought as he leaned on her desk.

Everyone was watching. What's up with this people and not minding their business? As he opened his mouth,Shenny cut him off. "Don't bother. Just get back to where you came from." There were low gasps and a few whistles. A guy behind her laughed. "Marvelous! Dilmen,you heard her!"

Dilmen's smirk faltered for a second before it went right back up. "Well,newbie. Your the one who threw Judith across the room,aren't you?" Shenny snapped her gaze up to meet him. "Move away,buddy. Get back to your seat." He was unrelenting. "Look,I know your playing hard to get,hun. But don't sorry,I like to play a game."

Shenny got up,slamming her table as she glared at him. "Some nerve you've got,hmm?" She took a step towards him as he took one back. "What do you take me for? Do you see me throw myself at you? Don't you get when a girl tells you no?!"

Dilmen opened his mouth. "I..."

"Thought what?! That I was gonna fall on my face and beg for your priceless dick?!"

There were gasps in the class at her words. She heard the guy behind her snicker.

Dilmen opened his mouth to say something when a man,who looked like he would rather be singing lullabies with puppies than teach the class of students,walked in. He walked up to the desk in the front of the class and dropped a stack of files with patterns on them.

"What's the ruckus all about? Lord Dilmen,I hope you haven't gotten yourself into trouble with another female?" He questioned,as apathetic as ever. "So,this is the beginning of a new semester,everyone,so we will start from the beginning of our history,whether you know it or not."

There were a few murmurs as he opened a large book. "I'm Master Fráhen,for those who do not know. I'll be your History teacher for the whole of this semester. I expect you all to listen and pay attention. Failure to do so...is really none of my business." He said coolly as he flipped a page.

"Okay,so,at the beginning of creation,there were 5 gods. Who would care to share?" A raven haired girl raised her hand. "Yes,Miss Saskia?" She fiddled with her pencil. "Um,Orleanus,Glei,Rodkeim,Jennais,Erllyasse." She stated.

Shenny snickered. "Erlly-asse? Pfft. Who in their right mind would take a name like that?" Master Fráhen ignored the remark as he went on. "Correct. Take notes if you wish. Orleanus-God of Life and Sky, Glei- God of Water and Liquid Bodies, Rodkeim- God of Earth and Nature, Jennais- Goddess of Air and Fire, and lastly, Erllyasse- God of Death and Judgement. Is that clear?"

Shenny frowned. "How come Jennais is the only goddess?" She asked. Master Fráhen shrugged. "How would I know? I wasn't exactly there now,was I?" He shot back. Shenny scowled. "Smart ass,huh?" She muttered. Apparently,not as low as she should because the class burst into snickers and snorts.

Master Fráhen glared at her before returning to the class. "Okay. That's taken care of. Now,moving to the Hierarchy.

There's;The Force. "He began. "Apparently,the force is the unknown entity that triggered the creation. Up till date,no one knows what or who this Force is."

"That's lame." Shenny commented,much to the teacher's irritation. Couldn't the girl just keep shut? "So,what? You go around living your life,not knowing what created you. It could be a spider. Or some green gooey moss. What if its an earthworm? A gigantic one at that? What if its a pipe? With a golden crown on it? What if its a rat? I heard those things plan for world domination. Maybe,a sock? A tree? A snail? A frog? A pillow...?"

"Orleanus above,keep your mouth shut,girl!!" Master Fráhen snapped,apparently reached his boiling point. The class was surprised. In all the years they'd known him,he was never one to show emotion. Just apathetic. Like he couldn't care less if he was in the middle of a fight with a shark and dolphin.

Master Fráhen pinched the space between his brows. God, what was this girl? In all his 244 years of life,he'd never met a creature so aggravating. He took a deep breath before his emotionless mask fell back in place. "To answer your question,no one knows what the Force is actually. But in history records,it has appeared a total of three times. All in the form of an ethereal dove."

"Sounds like something that could come out of the Bible." Shenny piqued. Master Fráhen shot her a warning look. "And has not appeared since then. That should be up to a three thousand eons ago."

"Really? Sounds like some lazy stuff." Shenny shrugged. Before the teacher could answer,the bell rang. "Thanks the heavens." He muttered as he grabbed the files and beat a hasty retreat.

People started filing out of the class as Shenny put her book and pencil in her bag,then slung it over her shoulder. Someone stepped in front of her. "So,do you usually annoy people for a living or is that a part of you?" The guy behind her asked with an amused smirk.
