I arrived at school five minutes late today, though luckily Bee was still waiting for me by the common area. I dashed rapidly to her and started apologizing, although when i stared at her she looked bored scrolling through her cellphone.
'' Morning. Sorry I am late" I said
'' Hy, its fine. I just finished reading the college website and its announcing the arrival of the billionaire Nate Lee Liu today" she responded.
I wonder who that is. I bet it's some rich spoiled brat living off his parents money.
I lost interest of asking. We arrived to class at the door, to see a short man with a french mustache waiting for us. I have seen this man before around but i am not familiar with him. Bummer it's the headmaster.
'' We are so sorry, Mr Davis due to traffic congestion we got held up and it's the reason why we are late for class" Bee pleaded before i could say anything.
''Well I am sorry Miss Bieri"he sighed "but rules are rules regardless the matter. You will get one hour detention although next time try to be so early or I won't be so kind. Please head for detention girl" he commanded and briskly walked off.
Well aunt May promise has gone down the drain, can not say I did not try. Bee lead the way and we entered the detention room. Felt kinda cold and lonely and I saw no supervisor around. I tossed my bag on one of the desk and heaved in disbelief.
'' It's not your fault zee. Don't worry. At least you have someone to talk too and i will definitely ask some of the mates notes .'' she reassured me.
She patted my back and a faint smile emerged. It felt at ease to have someone to depend on,someone to have you back. She didn't have to do it but covered for me when i was the one who made us late. I was awestruck. You don't rarely find people like that. Mrs lewis opened the door dramatically and looked surprised when she saw us. Guess she never expected to see me here. Bee smiled coyly and I tittered at the display.
she soon left after fetching some documents from the cabinet and i followed behind her to use the restroom.
I passed by the lobby gazing at the shining trophies arranged in a chronological order when I mistakenly bumped into someone. A guy. He shakes his head,a little dazed and confused.
I observe him properly for a slpit second and ended up gawping at him. He's lanky, handsomely attractive and has dark greyish blue hair which is messy and long but short at the same time. How could someone be this cute. I felt my cheeks burn. Wait what was happening, whats wrong with me. He stared deeply at me for a moment and i gaped into his hazel eyes. I stood there hypnotized. Lost in my own world. I was about to rueful myself but before I could he promptly took off. How rude.
I washed my hands in the basin and glanced at myself on the massive mirror plastered on the wall. Does he learn here? How stupid, of course zoey, he's wearing the same uniform as yours well except with the 12 inch pleated skirt. Why was I thinking about him. I have more depressing matters to consider... Like how my hair needs a make over. Yeah maybe i could go with auburn mauve, i heard it goes great with brunett. I suspired. " Time to go, one hour is up anyways" I thought to myself.
I exited the doors to find Bee waiting for me
"one hour is up , do you want to be late again. What took you so long" she asked.
"Sorry. I passed by the lobby. Just checking out the trophies." I answered her.
We attend class, this hour on time. During a foreign language Spanish lesson by Miss Castillo, Defney knocked and entered to whisper something to her. She nodded a few time briefly and announced that everyone is expected in the auditorium. Everyone in the class srood up simultaneously and in a logical order marched to the auditorium. It is big and alluring and people were awing however when Mr Davis appeared everybody took their seats. I was excited and Bee kept on squeezing my hand. I scanned around an instant and there i saw him again. Sitting on the 3rd row, by the last seat.
He looked blase and blank and I was trying to figure him out but before I could Bee called out my name and eventually I started listening to Mr davis speech.
"Good morning to you all, students and teachers and welcome to Fancy International Academic College in New york. A school which strives for success and achieves it"
Seems we will be here for long. I took out my cellphone and browsed through the internet after fifteen minutes I heard people applauding.
Chiming of bells rang and i went with Bee to the cafetorium. Today it was loud and noisy but in an organized manner. Appears to be that people were busy yesterday. I was queueing to buy when abruptly someone pushed me. Must be my luck. I rotated to face none other than the toilet bully and her minions. Why me, when I am in my grumpy days.
"Oh, sorry. Didn't see you there. Now make way for me chienne" she sarcastically said.
Whats this girls problem. She choose the wrong day and what does "chienne" mean. Her friends gasped in pretence and i felt Bee trying to pull me away as a sign of
"Excuse me" I scowled
"you heard me, you not deaf are you" Everybody around us peeped at us but I didn't care. She stepped on my toes.
"no, but I might make you blind"
"look here girly. You in a different zone and around here im popular. Choose your words carefully, you don't want to make an enemy of me" she pouted.
Damn she looked evil, this girl needed Jesus. She broaden her shoulders and before I could reply to her, some girl screamed and shrieked. "NATE IS HERE!!!"
