The principal was speechless, how can you classify this action as "being calm". He looked at the lean figure before him she was like a tyrant that shouldn't be messed with.
The teacher was still on the ground he was still in a daze, the principal didn't bother with him.
You can be sure that I'll handle this matter with great care and it won't repeat itself again, all he just wanted was for sophia to just leave.
Sophia brushed the invincible dust from her clothes, took her bags and turned to the principal; Thank you for your understanding she smiled.
The principal shivered when he saw that smile; then he remembered something that he would have done earlier.
Excuse me miss! What's your name?
Tsk..tsk... You didn't even ask me from the beginning sir; hmm I really have a lot of complaint against this school.
Anyway my name is sophia, I'm his guardian like I mentioned earlier. His parents are Mr and Mrs cain and these are their phone numbers.
She called everything for him; they aren't available for now, so I'm the next of kin, if I may put it that way.
Well I'll be on my way; I'll like to hear something pleasant when my boy comes back from school.
Sayonara sir!
She took dave's hand and walked out, the secretary and other students that came to see the principal were stunned, they quickly made way for the tyrant to pass.
They stared at her back as she walked away, this was certainly a big news, they couldn't wait to share it.
They finally came out of the building; she saw some students pass by, some were throwing glances at dave, which he totally ignored.
Dave, dave.....oh! C'mon snap out of it, dave was still in a daze. He came back to his senses after a while, his eyeballs were about to pop out after staring at his sister.
I can't believe you did that sis, geez you were like a different person in there. wow mr sam is definitely gonna have nightmares for a while.
You even threatened the principal. "sayonara" really sis? Too much anime is bad for your health.
Did...did I go too far? Omg I knew they won't take me seriously, so I had to do a lot of research on the constitution and other facts that I didn't get to say.
That teacher was just annoying but I can't believe I actually slapped him. Omg! She put her on chest and tried to calm herself down.
Dave looked at his sis that was now normal, she really became another person in that office.
Tsk....tsk..... I knew it, this is the real sophia I know. "A lizard in montera cannot become a crocodile in country k". He nodded at the wisdom he just discovered.
Pak!
Ouch.... What was that for? He held his head that just received a heavy slap. What Is it with you and slaps today huh?
Do you want another one ? Sophia raised her hand. Don't you dare mess with me, else I don't need to remind you of what I can do. Or do I?
No no.... I totally understand, dave said in defeat. He couldn't help but look at his sister she was a bit smallish, but very calm.
she'll never cause trouble or do something out of the ordinary except in severe cases like what transpired today.
He quickly hugged his sis; thanks sis! I know you did all that for me, you didn't even care if you'll be dragged away by security after doing that, but you still did it.
Thank you so much, I love you! He held her closer. You're the best big sis In the world.
Sophia laughed, even though he was thanking her, he still made her laugh. It's okay dave...she gently pushed him away. It's fine you're my bro after all.
Nobody is allowed to hit you, well except me..
Dave still held onto her. Go to class young man I can see some of your class mates staring. Especially the ladies, sophia couldn't help but laugh.
What ladies.... Dave sighed. I only have two women in my life currently; mum and you. The others are counterfeits.
Hmph... He said it with so much boldness.
Hahahah..... Sophia laughed okay, okay no problem bro. Go to your class, we'll talk when you get home.
Oh! I just remembered, the other day you commented on my post weren't you in school.
Dave paled and quickly ran away, he still turned and waved, before finally disappearing from her sight.
Meanwhile.....
The principal called the secretary and students that were outside; what happened today, shouldn't leave this office. Do you all understand?
The principal looked so scary that they couldn't help but nod their heads. He quickly dismissed them, he wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone for now.
Mr sam finally got himself, he held his cheek, the slap wasn't that painful cuz her hands were soft, but it still tarnished his image.
He quickly walked out of the principal's office, he already knew his punishment so he didn't bother to hear it again.
He still had class that morning, he quickly went to the class, it was noisy but as soon as he entered it became quiet.
He looked at the corner and saw dave with his usual calm and collected behavior. He didn't bother with him after what happened, he didn't dare step out of line again.

Sophia took a cab to the shop, everyone was already there, she quickly greeted them and went to keep her things.
Everyone was surprised; as they looked at her. She had never worn a gown since she came to the salon.
They even thought she didn't have any. she looked like a very big business woman.
Wow sophia you look amazing! But why are you dressed like this?
I had an appointment with someone that's why
They didn't say anything further. Sophia really looked cute in that outfit and her long legs were also pretty.
Wow... Chief screamed catching everyone's attention. What's up chief? Nora asked.
Guess what guys. What? They all answered.
Well there's going to a competition for all apprentice in this town, the winner will get 1000k.
Omg are you serious? They all jumped for joy, wow this is amazing.
Each shop has to register and put the number of apprentice they have, the ones that will participate. So who's in?
Alex, Trish and kate raised their hands. Chief turned to sophia, are you interested?
She thought about it for a while, it won't hurt to participate so why not. She gave a nod to chief.
Okay that's settled let me start the registration. While he was still talking someone walked in.
A tall lady walked into the shop. emm.... Hello, she called everyone's attention.
Welcome they'll turned to the lady, welcome miss do you want to style your hair? Or are you here for manicure and pedicure? Facials.... They listed all their services to her.
No I'm not here for that, I came to learn, is it possible or are the spots already taken?
They were all stunned, the lady before was pretty with brown skin, and a bright smile. She was certainly very feminine.
Once they heard her, everyone became extra friendly especially the guys, except chief who was already married.
You're welcome, the spot is open. Come in. She wore a black jumpsuit which showed off her beauty curves, her hair was packed in a bun.
She had the latest T phone which was very expensive, not everyone could buy such a phone.
They quickly explained the procedures and payments which she quickly complied to. Some minutes later the transaction was done.
Okay so we have some very important questions to ask. Do you mind?
Not at all Thalia said with a smile.
Sophia rolled her eyes as she already guessed what they wanted to ask. Important question my foot.
There was no client in the shop, so they were free to have some fun.
Are you in a relationship? Chief asked. Everyone raised their ears especially the guys.
Yes I am!
Crack~ sophia could hear some people's heart break, especially peter whose emotions were out of control. The guys that were in charge of the manicure, pedicure...were also sad.
Sophia already guessed that she was taken, there's no way a girl that like was free.
He'll come over sometimes, is that okay?
Yh sure! Chief answered. He asked her other questions, which others were not interested in and some were heart broken, so they didn't pay attention.
She was then assigned to james. You can start anytime you want.
Okay can I start immediately?
Yh sure, if that's what you want. Chief looked around and then called out.
Sophia come here, since you were the last apprentice, you'll show her around and explain the details to her. You'll be relieved from some things since you now have a junior.
Sophia was happy at least she'll be able to rest a bit. She showed her where to keep her bags and every other thing.
Then she took her to the shops they bought hair products from. She talked to her as they walked.
How's everyone in the shop? I mean their true character? I know they're this friendly because I'm new. I just want to know a bit about everyone.
Everyone is fine and different, they are not bad and kinda easy to work with so don't worry you'll be fine.
That's all? Thalia couldn't buy that.
Well if I tell you from my own perspective, well... Let's say you may not understand, don't worry with time you'll get to know them.
Thalia paused, but did not press further since sophia decided to be silent.
Sophia wasn't stupid, there's no way she was going to say anything to this girl. She'll find out by herself.
Then they returned to the shop, everyone was trying trying to befriend her. They were so kind and loving towards her.
Sophia watched their behavior. Tsk...tsk... I didn't get such treatment when I came here. She could only think of one thing.
She remembered those mannequins and their curves. Yup that's it, that's always the basic problem.
******
Time quickly flew by.....
Thalia was a fast learner and she quickly became an expert, they'll sometimes compare her with sophia.
She was also registered for the competition. Everyone was to compete in their individual salons. Five salons were selected and Sophia's salon was among those that were selected.
Representative from the competition came to the shop on selected days to record their points.
The first quality was neatness.
Sophia: 9
Alex: 8
Thalia: 8
Trish: 6
Kate: 6
Sophia was very tidy, she crossed every t and dote every I. she folded the towels perfectly and arranged the gadgets, tools and other things very well. So she obviously got the highest for that.
Next was composure
Sophia: 10
Alex: 8
Thalia: 6
Kate: 4
Trish: 2
They couldn't keep still at all, they talked a lot, at a particular time they forgot they were being scored and even gossiped with the examiner.
Sophia was obviously like a robot, she rarely spoke and she had the best composure.
Next: interaction with a client
Trish: 10
Thalia: 8
Alex: 7
Kate: 6
Sophia: 4
Finally their ability paid off, Trish was the best with clients, they loved her she was so friendly. Everyone always requested for her to attend to them.
Thalia also won the hearts of the clients, she wore latest clothes and that attracted them, and she was also very matured, so she talked freely and everyone liked her.
Sophia on the hand made her client speechless. she rarely talked, the client talked and talked which made sophia tired, she could only smile stiffly.
The client was restless, she first bought chewing gum, then she started watching videos with her phone, she would laugh and shake which disturbed sophia.
She got the lowest for interaction cuz she was not really good at it. she only interacts when she is very comfortable with someone.
