BOOOOMMMM!!!! The whole chemistry lab became foggy again after a week with the mistake the same student made. A very stubborn student in the noble high school. She added explosive chemicals together and got the whole lab into an explosion. It was renovated by the school since she had a pardon. And today she did it again. Nobody knows whether she intentionally does that or not.
"Miss Klein!!!" Mr Parson, the chemistry tutor, screamed from the coughs of the other students. She quickly turned her head to look at the teacher feeling so disgusted.
Her dark waist length hair which also had a few strands dyed purple swayed in the air when she made the turn. As her hair settled her delicate palm size face was in view with the perfect features. She had angel eyes which sparkled just like a diamond under the sea, red glittering lips just like wine and a cute slender nose. She had an attractive tiny body and white porcelain skin which glowed like a goddess and was like a magnet which could attract even the most decent man. Her natural beauty made her really popular in school and she was every male's dream girl but only a few handsome guys were lucky to date her. Apart from this, she was also known by a few, to be the daughter of one of the richest business tycoon couple. She was the most popular flirt on the whole campus. Another fact which made her popular but was embarrassing was her stubbornness which of course the boys found it really cute...
"To the principal's office, now!!!"
...
At the principal's office.
"Mr. Hollingsworth, I bet you know this is not the first time Miss Klein has caused an explosion." Mr. Parson complained
Klein just stared at Mr. Parson's face horribly. She couldn't figure out why in the world did Mr. Parson hate her that much.
"Miss Klein." Mr. Hollingsworth drew the girl's attention. "I hope you know what you did was absolutely wrong."
"Yes sir."
"You put the whole students' lives in danger."
"Yeah, I know." She shrugged causing Mr. Hollingsworth's jaw to drop as he glanced at Mr. Parson.
"See Mr. Hollingsworth. She ain't showing any remorse."
"Miss Klein." The principal called. "You've made such a mistake and yet it seems you don't care about anything."
"Come on sir. You're exaggerating as if I prepared an atomic bomb or a nuclear missile and launched it. I just made an unharmful explosive you know." Claire leaned lazily in the chair.
"Yeah I know the explosive wasn't a dangerous one. But why the hell did you prepare that thing?"
"Uhm-uhm, I-sir it-it, it was nothing serious. I learnt it from the internet and wanted to try one out. After all, Mr. Parson gave us the chance to share anything new in chemistry class. Right Mr. Parson?" She asked tilting her head slightly as she grinned at Mr. Parson like a little devil.
"Yes, I gave you the liberty to share new ideas concerning our studies not anything outside like making explosive, Miss Klein." Mr. Parson retorted.
"Miss Klein." Mr. Hollingsworth called. You're such a stubborn student and a lot of complaints have been made about you already."
"I'm aware of that, sir. I know that I'm a stubborn student. My parents have told me. My nanny has told me. Mr. Parson and other teachers have also told me and even you. So exhausting to always hear, 'Claire you're very stubborn. Miss Klein behave yourself. Claire I'm disappointed in you. ' I always get these remarks from everyone and it's not something new for me to hear from you."
"Sigh. Okay. I'm giving you a detention and also I'll invite your parents here tomorrow."
Something flickered in Claire's eyes immediately she heard her parents will be here tomorrow. That will be a disaster so she took the first action.
"Sir please don't call my parents. You can give me any punishment, I'll accept it willingly. But please don't call my parents or else I'm a dead meat. Sir y-you your friend is my dad right? You know him very well. Although he likes cracking jokes but he can really give lethal punishments. Please don't call them or else they will take me home and punish me severely. Either my dad will lock me up in my room for seven days and nights without food or my mom will force me to do every chore. I-I'm ready to take any punishment you give me but please don't make the call. Please sir." Klein cried. Although she was seventeen already she wept bitterly like a five year old spoiled brat. The two adults watched her with pity in their eyes not knowing Klein was just shedding crocodile tears to save herself.
"Alright, I won't call them but you'll serve your detention which will end at eight in the evening and also clean up the chemistry lab."
Claire sat there quietly as she was contemplating. Was she really gonna clean up the chemistry lab, geez. That was the last thing she would wish for in this miserable life of hers. But she had no other option but to accept or else she should just wait till tomorrow and expect her parents' stupid murderous punishments.
"Miss Klein, are you listening to me!"
"Y-yes sir. I-I'll do it. Thank you." She got up and left.
She decided not to attend class. She walked straight to the elevator since she was on the fourth floor and wanted to get to the ground floor quickly.
The five storey building contained classrooms for second and third year students, offices, theater, chemistry lab, music and dance class, basketball court, restrooms and storage rooms. Every floor had a storage room and restrooms.
She got on the lift and pressed on one as the door closed. She saw her reflection in the mirror and screamed.
"AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!" She screamed her lungs out as she pulled her hair. She immediately stopped when she heard the elevator ding. She straightened her hair and stomped out when the door opened. Unfortunately she bumped into a hard chest making her fall flat on her butt.
"Ouch" She yelped. She looked up and saw an annoyingly handsome face. Extremely handsome guy.
His name was Duncan Dylan whom Claire preferred to call DD. He was filthy rich, hot and handsome and a playboy. But unfortunately, this guy turned out to be Claire's biggest enemy at high school. All though Claire didn't like Duncan at first sight but that wasn't when they became enemies. Duncan and Claire became enemies on the day Duncan asked Claire out but Claire turned his proposal down and pulled his legs in front of a large number of students. Duncan felt really humiliated that day. He threatened Claire he would make her life a living hell in high school. From that day, they tried to hurt or pull pranks on each other.
"What! Can't you see? Do you have your eyes fixed under your feet that you bump into people wherever you go!" Claire got up and stood face to face with Duncan.
She felt so tiny before him because, this guy was elegantly lean and tall. His milky skin with his rosy lips, black eyes like an endless pit accompanied with jet black hair made him really outstanding. His messy bangs hanging above his eye lashes which almost covered his eyes made him look breathtakingly handsome.
"Hello, my life long beautiful foe." He greeted as he grinned showing a row of well arranged white teeth. Claire also grinned showing her white teeth with silver and exquisite braces.
"Hi my sweet enemy." She also greeted.
"So how did the meeting go with the Almighty Mr. Hollingsworth?"
"Haha. A foe is asking about the opponent. Isn't that really weird!"
"Sigh. Actually I know what is going to happen... You've been given a detention and you'll also clean up the lab. Hahahaha!!!" He laughed. "Isn't that such a gross work for a beautiful goddess?" Duncan teased and laughed patting Claire's shoulder continuously until tears gathered at the corners of his eyes. Claire glared at him. She squeezed her lips into a thin line and clenched her hands into a fist.
"This is all your fault DD." She said through clenched jaw.
"What! Me?" Duncan pointed a finger at his nose and grinned.
"You set me up. You knew I will always get back at you when you pull a prank on me! If you hadn't filled my bag with tarantulas last evening, I would never had dared to prepare any explosive! You knew all these will happen. You set a filthy trap for me and I fell right into it! You trapped me!" Claire blushed with anger.
"OMG! Our goddess is on fire. Calm down hon." Duncan playfully fanned angry Claire with his hands. He tucked his hands in his pockets and leaned in on Claire then whispered, "Peekaboo. You're right. I set you up. I set an enchanting trap for the beautiful goddess and she fell right into it. Aren't I such a genius? Now the goddess will have to suffer and I'm gonna sit back and enjoy it." Duncan fingered some purple strands of Claire's hair. Claire moved his hand away slowly.
"You'll pay for this baby." She threatened.
"I'll be waiting hon." He smirked with his eyes shining as he caressed Claire's cheek before leaving.
After closing, Claire was led to a deserted classroom by Mr. Parson. She sat at a desk and watched as Mr. Parson left her locked up in the room. She waited patiently for the clock to turn eight. As she waited, she thought of a lot of plans on how to get back at Duncan. After waiting for like decades, the door suddenly opened. The guard appeared at the door.
"Miss Klein your detention is over." He said and Claire immediately got out.
"DD, I'm back. Wait for me." She smirked then left for her hostel room which she shared with two other students, Tracy, her best friend and Kim, a second year student.
