Chapter 11 - What do you mean by us?

In the staff room

Ella stood by the door post a bit nervous to enter, she heard footsteps walking towards the staff room, it sounds different from the student walking step she quickly pushed the door open and entered the staff room. Right in front of her, Prince and his friends kneeled with their hands stretched. The staff and student glanced at her, Sophia hissed silently and said to herself "She caused all this, she should have just kept quiet"

" we'll soon be set free," Prince said to her trying to cool her mind.

" only if Rita doesn't do the worse and control the teachers because of her stupid influence" David yelled, his pitch raised more than usual. Mr. Caleb stared at him. He quickly hung his head low his heart racing.

" influence… what influence?" Sophia asked a bit confused.

"We aren't safe here maybe when we get in class" David whispered to her, trying his best not to get in another trouble.

"Okay then" she whispered back at him.

"Yes, what do you want? Come in I hope you aren't lost" a female teacher not far from the door said to Ella.

" I'm…" she couldn't finish her statement as Mr. Felix cut in as he entered standing by the doorpost.

" she's the Roman reigns of the sss 1 ( grade 10) art class" he hit her with the notebook which his fingers were holding tightly. " go and kneel with your fellow offenders"

She walked towards them. Mr. Caleb raised his gaze at Mr. Felix closing the books in front of him and asked "is she the second fighter"

" yes… she and Rita, I meant Ms. Rita had another fight again. My attention was called by a student from the class"

" so you had another round of fight after I left the class, you are so irresponsible" he throw a broken piece of chalk at her hitting her on her back

" sir…" she tried to explain.

" just shut it. Ella! You of all students in that class. I'm highly disappointed in you" another male teacher said who was sitting opposite Mr. Caleb

"Follow me now, " Mr. Felix said to them.

In the classroom

She bashed in the class, roll to turn, and shut the door slowly rolling her chicken butt to feel she is sexy and the prettiest girl in the class even in the school. Then she romantically, seductively, and arrogantly turned to the class. Her audience glanced at her with their eyes rolling, some tired of her problems every single day since she joined them last term. She balanced her foot and said

" as you all know, I'm the only queen of E.R.A. academy you all have witnessed what I've done to those who tried to be rude to me, so… if you want to be dragged by the hair, or tortured by me then challenge me. Very soon you all will soon know the punishment issued to those idiots, next time you won't mess with a queen. My knight will deal with them till they stupor"

"And who're your knights?"

" for your information, my knights are your so-called teachers, get that now. This is my last warning don't mess with me" she walked to her seat. She left the class in awe, they mumbled discussing how rude she is and so insolentcalling the teachers who are old enough to give birth to her and even her older siblings.

In the staff room

" wait let me ask" they were about to stand but they quickly went back to their knees, "teachers, do you have anything this offender can do for you"

" yes… one of you come to help me dispose of this waste bin, it stinks," a female teacher seating near the door said immediately.

"Okay ma" Ella stood walked towards the recycle bin grabbed it by the handle and walked out of the office.

" you come, go get me bottled water," she said pointing at Sophia. She gave her a naira note.

" I went to the mini Mart this morning, there was none there," Sophia said to her.

"so what are you insinuating?"

" I wanted to ask if I should get you a sachet of water instead" she explained.

" Are you daft or dumb go now before I do my worse"

" I'm sorry ma'am" Sophia apologized.

" Sorry for yourself," she said to her as she walked towards the door.

" you over there, go to the principal office go check if he's around," she said pointing at Prince.

" Okay sir," Prince said walking towards the door.

" you two go to the staff toilet and check if neat enough"

" ok, ma…" David and Bella said.

" no don't check, make sure you watch it and scrub all the dirt off. Do you understand" a male teacher said, his voice sounding like that of a speaker echoing in the class?

" yes ma," David and Bella said reluctantly moving towards the door.

After some moment

" Ma'am!"

"yes…" she answered.

" I got you a sachet of water since there's no bottled water"

" I don't need them, return them," she said without even soaring her a glare.

" Okay ma'am," Sophia said her voice quiet than before, her face flushed, she turned and walked away.

Ella came in not quite long after Sophia left. " ma'am this is the recycling bin" Ella said as she dropped the bin.

" go watch it," she said.

" Okay ma'am" She frowned and walked away.

Prince walked in immediately after Ella left " she's not around ma'am" he said as he walked up to another female teacher in the room.

" his secretary said that right"

" Uhm… yes ma'am his secretary " he nodded in confirmation.

" go back and tell her that I'm the one who wants to see her," she said staring at him at the same time gesticulating and demonstrating.

" Her car is not in the garage, I confirmed it before coming to you"

"How dare you! go back now and check before coming back here" she said not looking up.

" he's gone," a male teacher said to her.

" oh… when did he leave" he didn't respond. She hissed and continued her work.

In the staff toilet Hallway

" I regret coming to school today…" Bella said.

" same here" David same. They both were standing outside the door, thinking about where they will start cleaning.

"It's just second period out of the ten classes period, we're finished today, will they release us after we clean this their God-forsaken toilet," Bella said her voice shaking.

" I don't know, my prayers are that they don't make us work till closing hours," David said looking ahead.

" amen… because I'm exhausted already" she replied.

" When we haven't started the work," David said mockingly.

" we will only watch the two most dirty ones and clean the other two," Bella said pointing at the toilet's door.

"Okay…!" David responded.

" you take the two males toilet I'll clean the female toilet"

"Okay…" he nods.

After some minutes of working. David and Bella came out of the toilets. They sat on the floor their back leaning on the white-painted walls. They stared at the ceilings…

" I don't feel like going back to that class, that Rita girl is so mean…" David said breaking the silence.

" I wonder why she's that arrogant and mean… do you have any clue why she's mean and touchy," Bella asked glaring at him.

" nope… I think she just chose to be that way" he said staring at her back.

"Really… I dislike her already" she said turning her gaze away.

" Enough of this Rita whatever… let's talk about us," David said pouting.

" what us…? what do you mean by us?" she questioned like she had no clue about what he was saying.

" what I've been asking from you, give me a chance to prove my love…" he turned to her

" enough… David I've told you so many times that I don't want to get stuck with someone, for now, we still have a long way to go. We're in sss 1, we have sss 2,3… 100 level, 200, 300,400, and more depending on our course." she said, David turned his gaze away, his face flushed. " Please David understand me" she pleaded.

"Please Bella, I lo…"

" what are you doing there," Mrs. Gloria, a female teacher asked working towards them.
