Chapter 9 - Principal's call

Misha's POV

"Uhmmm. Misha right? May I check your schedule.", Kendra asked.

"Uhh, why?" I asked her with a confused face.

"Well, I am actually the one who will guide you today. Sorry I was not able to pick you up at the entrance", she said and smiled coyly.

"Oh! It's okay, I didn't know there would be one in the first place. Good thing we eventually ran into each other" I said awkwardly giving her my schedule. She accepted and smiled before reading my class schedule.

"Oh! We have most of our classes together", she said, clearly happy from what she discovered.

"Really? That's good", I said and gave her a shy smile.

"It is! It really is", she said while facing ahead then glanced at me for a second and smirked. The lift opened and both of us went out and headed to class. We were the first ones in, as expected. I smiled in triumph and sat at the last row near the window side. Kendra sat at the first row near the teacher's desk. I was staring outside the window and saw students approaching the building.

A few minutes later, the classroom was filled with students chatting with each other in their seats. All seats were taken already, except for the seat next to mine. I guess no one wants to sit with me. Well, it is expected as I don't have any friends here yet. I don't mind though. Having the desk and seat all to myself is good as well. I smiled and continued to look at the view outside the window.

The teacher came and students settled down their seats. The teacher introduced himself as Prof. John and started to do the roll call. While Mr. John was at the middle of checking our attendance, a very beautiful girl came in, with her blonde mane slightly disheveled, but nevertheless beautiful. She was panting and was trying to fix her hair and uniform for a moment before speaking. She regained her composure and scanned the classroom. All of us in class were like watching a movie with each of her movements being observed in slow motion. We waited for her to talk. She looked at each one of us as if looking for a criminal. When her eyes met mine. I felt shivers ran my spine. It wasn't because I was thrilled, I actually felt threatened and intimidated. It was because the look on her face tells me that I am in deep shit.

The professor cleared his throat and gestured to the now angry hot girl, I mean, angry girl, to have a seat. She was walking with the heels of her shoes audibly clacking each step towards me. She didn't acknowledge the students nor the professor at all. She just bore her eyes on me as she went nearer.

When she was near my desk, I lowered my gaze, slowly cowering from the heavy weight of the atmosphere she produced. I heard her sigh and sat next to me. I glanced a little at her only to see that she was not looking at me. She just blankly stared ahead and that made me a little bit relaxed. I didn't know what was that earlier but I just shrugged it off because maybe she just had a bad day. I relaxed and started to listen at the teacher. I am not planning to befriend my seatmate for now because she obviously was irritated earlier. While the class was ongoing, I didn't see her open any books, and just listened to the teacher having a class with her sitting straight the whole period.

'Doesn't she get tired?', I thought to myself. I kind of have this feeling that I have met her somewhere. I have a selective memory. The important info stays and the rest to the trash. I am not good with names nor faces, unless it was recognized by my brain as significant, unique, or easy to remember.

When the class was about to finish, a big muscular man came and called the professor's attention. They talked for a few seconds outside and both came in. The professor introduced the man standing proudly as the Principal of the school. His name was Principal Knight. The students' jaws dropped down obviously stunned. I was stunned as well but not to the point of pausing with my mouth open. I don't know what the deal was about him. Is he that famous? I guess he is really respected by the students and teachers here. I noticed that the girl beside me and Kendra was not fazed by his presence at all. The girl beside me remained calm while Kendra was having a staring war with the Principal.

"Ms. Tatiana, and Ms. Misha, please go with the Principal in his office", the professor told us and kindly gestured to go out. I was shook. I don't know what I did wrong.

'Was it related to the reason why the girl next to me looked at me angrily earlier? But I didn't do anything!' I mentally screamed and covered my face. The girl beside me stood up and went outside first and I followed suit carrying my bag. The students were whispering as they watch both of us go out the room.

When we were finally outside, the principal gestured to the left side corner of the building. He went ahead and we followed him. The other students from other classes were looking at their windows surprised to see the principal I guess. I didn't look at them though. They may think differently.

When we arrived at the Principal's office, the secretary greeted us stoically.

"Good morning" I greeted back with a smile.

She just stared at me with a blank face and then she faced her computer once again.

I guess she's around her 50s. 50s and grumpy, equals, Menopause. I just nodded to appease myself from the rude behavior she gave me.

"Ms. Misha, please wait here for a while. I'll just talk to Ms. Tatiana first", the principal told me and smiled while gesturing to the couch at the corner.

"Alright sir" I said and smiled then went to get a seat at the vinyl coated black couch.
