Sitting in her office, it was big and very fancy, just like her. It had flowers and paintings as decorations, some were beautiful and some were creepy it made my spine shiver. There was also a big shelf which had many many books of different sizes arranged, some looked old and some were still fresh but all the same the shelf looked nice. She had a glass table where she had some files arranged and some scattered, her glass case was there and a jug of pencils and pens.at the left hand side just behind the table, There was a store and it was locked, it had a protector and that too was locked "WARNING, KEEP OUT. " was the sign written in front of the wooden door.
The right hand side had a standing fan and a glass shelf, it had some artifacts and many school awards. The school really was something...
"I don't mind you looking but i would like to get down to the business of today" she suddenly spoke
"Yes, right... Sorry" I feel really embarrassed now
"No need to be embarrassed, its curiosity, it gets the better of the human soul"
"Now, I've heard from sources which I choose not to mention, about your activities and performances in school. Could you care to explain yourself " she said sounding serious all of a sudden
Oh I'm in big trouble!!!. She knows! Oh she knows about the sleepover!!
Keep it cool katie! Keep it cool. Plain and simple. "I don't know what you're talking about ma'am"Simple now let the words just flow from my mouth please....
"Katie, you haven't answered my question" she said. Oh shit!! say something dummy!!.
"Umm... Ma'am I have no idea what you're talking about" finally!! My mouth didn't dissapoint me.
"Ok fine, I will elaborate. What is going on in your history lessons" wait what?That's what she wanted to ask??... thank God.
"You seemed to have relaxed a bit. Makes me wonder if you already have skeletons in your cupboard" she said laughing ever so lightly.
"No ma'am trust me I'm clean." Yeah right...
"Anyway my history class is going fine"
"But that's not what the reports say. Its says you sleep in class, constantly get lost in whatever you're thinking about and then you barely keep up in class. "
"I've only slept one time, once and I doing my best trust me, I have never worked so hard on anything before. Not until I came here, as for the getting lost in la la land its simply because history is boring. Its really boring but I'll put in more effort" I said trying to assure her
" What about your teacher? Are you having problems with him? " she asked
"Mr George, oh no. No problem at all apart from the creepy stare he gives me and how strict he is with me, he teaches ok" I answered honestly
"You need to put in more effort my dear, George can be strict but he cares for his students, everything he does is for your good I can assure you. Try getting a study partner or something so after class you can go through all you were taught and answer some bothering questions you have. is that understood?"
"Yes ma'am"
"Alright... you are free to go, make sure you do all I have told you. I will be watching " she smiled
"Yes ma'am and thanks for the advice" I said.
I walked out of the office and then when I was at the stairs I stopped and breathe a sigh of relief. We're safe, atleast for now...
Going up to the third floor, I opened the door of the library and they were all there, looking at me with worried eyes. I felt pity at the same time compassion for them.
"So?... How'd it go?? " kc asked me
"Are you ok? Are you getting expelled? I hope she didn't hurt your feelings, did she? " Sophie said
"Guys, I'm fine. Actually she wanted to talk about my grades and stuff, how I was failing badly in history and that I needed to buckle up. Good news is, she doesn't know about the sleepover so we're safe... For now I think"
"Ah thank God.... " Nora said. taking my seat in the circle I could see everyone breath out... It made me feel happy that atleast I brought them good news today.
"What did you guys come up with while I was gone?" I said
"Well, we brainstormed all the places we talked about the sleepover, which is the library, the dining room and classes. we all didn't talk about it in any of our classes, the dining room is quite noisy so I don't think anyone overheard us when we asked Maja and Kc to join us, so that leaves us at the library. The place where the whole damn thing started " Sophia said, sounding much more calm than this morning
"ok so we sat there" I said pointing at a table close to the end of the library.
"Do you remember anyone who sat close to you guys? " Liam asked
"Well... There was this guy that shushed us when we were hyper that day, I think he sat with a bunch of his guy friends, I can't really remember their faces though then... A girl yes! A girl but she looked like she was busy with what she was doing and finally a senior. I think that's all, guys did I miss anything? " Nora asked
Nodding our heads, we said no, but it couldn't be the senior because I haven't seen her in our block before, I don't think its the guys because I was pretty sure I saw a night gown and besides our quarters are quite far from each other.
"The boys are out because our quarters are quite far from each other and I haven't seen that senior in our block before. What do you guys think? " I suggested
" That's right and senior Rita hasn't been to our block for a long time, so that means the other girl. She has to be the one but I can't seem to remember her face... Oh this sucks! " Sophia said grumbling
"Think, do a flashback or something! You guys were the ones present!! " Maja shouted
" It's ok, take it easy we will find this person" Christian calmed her.
"Georgina!!" Nora shouted making us crease our brows
"The girl... I'm sure she's Georgina... " Nora screamed
"Are you sure??" Liam questioned
"Super sure, that was Georgina, curly brown hair, fine face. I'm absolutely sure it was Georgina." She reassured her self
" Come to think of it, it kinda makes sense but the fact that you couldn't remember her is very laughable" Christian said.
"Georgina... Isn't she part of the Beau?? " kc said
"As a matter of fact, she is" Sophia said
"Sorry to be a dummy but who is this beau you talk about?? " suddenly they all looked at me like I was crazy or something. "What?? " I had to ask ya know.
"The beau, the finest girls in grey high, atleast that's what they call themselves. They've been with many of the hot guys in school and some of the seniors too, rumor has it that they have private maids that follow them around at home cause they're really rich and stuff and that they got into this school by their parents wealt, although almost all of the students here got in because their parents are rich but theirs are much richer. They also brag that their parents are part of the school board of directors so they can get any student kicked out of school if you disrespect them. That hasn't happened yet because miss Magarette is very keen on putting them in their place, That's about all I know. I can't believe you don't know them, they always stay together, like they're glue or something and they managed to get some girls to do their bidding and carry their stuff around. Georgina is part of those girls" kc said
"Wow!! Tell me their names" I said interested, maybe I've seen them somewhere before.
"Fresberg Emily, Crystal Wood said
Vikrim chubuli. " what!!! OMG crystal is a beau??
"Crystal is a beau?? " I asked shocked
"You didn't know? She is actually" Christian replied.
"But I thought you said Georgina was part of them?? "
"She isn't, she's just one of their minions but she takes the whole thing to her head so she's very close to them" kc said
"Maybe one of the beau is behind this? I mean they don't like us and Georgina wouldn't do anything without authorization from one of them so??? " Nora spoke up this time.
"But which of them?.... " Maja questioned
"Crystal. " christian said
"What!! No way would she do this to us. She's my friend!! Don't make such accusations " I roared. How dare he??
"Well might as well tell her man. This ain't my fight" Christian raised up his hands
"What is he talking about?? " I asked turning to face Liam.
"Look, its just a guy stuff. All he's trying to say is that we shouldn't trust her. Plain and simple" Liam said
"Ok so how sure are you that Georgina isn't working on her own huh? " I asked.
" Yeah guys how sure?? " Sophie asked
"I just know ok. Just stay away from her for sometime" Liam said
"Guys I'm not in total support of this but I trust the boys. Laim wouldn't bring up such accusations without a good reason" Nora said
"What about me?? I wouldn't bring up accusations. Would I?? " Christian said making a cute baby face.
"Now's not the time for that, besides we all know who you are "
"So we shouldn't trust her because you have a feeling she's dangerous but you're not giving us a reason huh? Bullshit!! I think this meeting just hit a dead end, maybe tomorrow we'll continue. You guys aren't thinking straight... Blaming someone who has no idea what's going on" I grumbled getting up and walking out. How could they do this. If they have trust issues that's something they should deal with, not go around blaming people. Ahhh!!
"Katie wait... "Kc called
"Its fine, let her go. I didn't think she was that close to crystal" Laim said.
***
Reaching my room, I took off my shoes and laid down on my bed. What a day! I can't believe things got so sour between me and my friends. I mean how would I face them again. I like and trust them but I feel the same way about Crystal too. She might be a beau but she wasn't all smug around me. She was cool and I like her. Now I have to choose between my friends and crystal... I just hope it doesn't get to that...
"Ahhh!. I just need sleep" I sighed. Trying to pull of my check, I heard a knock on my door.
"It's opened!! " I yelled
Dashing in Maja came into my room breathing heavily "Come down to Nora's room right now!! We've got a situation " she said trying to catch her breath
I ran out of my room passing by some girls, running down the stairs, on reaching Nora's room I slowed down and looked inside. I saw the girls all crammed up holding something. Entering the room Sophia spoke
"We just got here and saw this, we thought you should see it too"
I took the scrambled letter and opened it...
Hello law breakers!. I thought about reporting you guys to the matron but that would be no fun would it?? So..... Let's play a little game called I tell you what to do and you do it blindly okay? If not... I might just tell on you, You won't like that now, Would you?
Wait for my letter tomorrow. Make sure you don't tell anyone about this, you know what I can do, don't you...
Remember I'll be watching
"Oh... That little she devil... " I said folding the paper with anger.
"What do we do now?? "Kc asked..
"Should We just sit back and wait? "
