When we left the music room, a lot of people were already talking about my fight with Nixon's elder brother, whose name I still don't know. Nixon didn't say anything even as we parted for the next class, the last before we broke off for lunch.
"See ya." I said to him and he just smiled.
We went our separate ways and I went to attend my Physics class. I shared this class with Susan and Ray. They both had empty seats beside them but there isn't much to think about; I sat with Ray.
"Sup." he said looking at the door,"I heard you beat up Flynn."
"So that's his name. He was bullying Nixon while I was talking."
He finally looked at me as I took out an empty book from my bag. The look on his face was of disbelief and amusement. I smiled at him and took a quick look at his book. The teacher walked in, Ms Celine. She doesn't look like someone who can teach Physics but I won't judge so quickly. l shifted all my attention to her and saw how her eyes kept on coming back on me.
"I want someone to come and solve this for us..." she said and then she swept her eyes over the students until they came to land on me,"... Vermont?"
"No." I answered and her eyes narrowed,"You said my name questioningly so I gave my preference."
"Vermont, come and solve this problem for us."
I smiled and got up from my seat. I have no idea what she was talking about before asking for someone to solve the problem. I took the black marker from her hand and for some reason she slid her middle finger across my palm. I frowned at her and she retracted her hand and took a seat at the teacher's table. I miraculously solved the question and placed the marker on the table instead of giving it to her. She looked disappointed so I rolled my eyes at her and she smiled, making me frown.
"Was she hitting on you?" Ray asked in a whisper and a boy behind me was the one to answer.
"Definitely. I'm jealous."
"As we can see from Vermont's solution units are important in Physics. If you forget units in my subject then you will fail terribly."
The rest of the class I did my best to not look at her. When class was over she called me outside saying she had to tell me something important so I followed her.
"What is it?" I asked looking behind her where I could see Penelope trying her best to hide behind her locker door while trying to eavesdrop.
"When are you going to ask for my line?" she asked and my eyes snapped onto her face.
"What?" I asked.
"You heard right. Are you too shy to ask? I can ask for yours."
"I'm not interested." I said and I walked past her to go towards Penelope who stood pale faced; she must have heard what Celine said.
"Let's go." I said to her and she nodded and locked the locker leaving her purse inside.
"How do you plan on paying for lunch if you leave your purse inside?" I asked.
"Ohh....I didn't notice." she responded and I memorized her lock combination,"You could have paid for me you know. Gentlemen do that, don't they?"
She opened the locker and I pushed the door back to lock it,
"Then let me."
She blushed instantly and looked away. The way she looks when she blushes is amazing; she is wonderful. We left the hallway and headed straight to the lunchroom. We sat with the others and I did not fail to notice how the other students watched me. I went and bought meals for Penelope and I and on my way back to the table I saw Susan sitting with thr.ee girls who were all wearing spectacles and loosely fitting uniforms. I smiled at her because I couldn't wave with my hands full and she smiled back. Her friends also waved and smiled and I smiled as well.
There was a particular table with a lot of girls wearing very tight uniforms that looked like they could be rip apart at the slightest movement. The gave me the mating looks that.i believe the humans call flirtatious and I must say, it was a little bone chilling.
"Hey you!" I heard Flynn's voice from behind me.
I turned around and a punch was landed straight to my cheek. I stumbled back a step or two then found my footing. I placed the food I had bought and looked at the angry Flynn who had his minions back with him.
"You thought you were pretty strong back there, didn't you? Let me make this clear to you; I run this place. You had better stay in your place or else."
"Or else what?" I asked and the people sitting at the surrounding tables got up and someone was considerate enough to pick up the food I had bought.
"What did you say?" he asked like he had not heard me.
"What will you do to me?" I asked and he started cracking his fingers.
I was going to say something to him but he launched himself at me and we both crushed into the table behind me. I was obviously the only one who got hurt and my wings started acting up again, wanting to be out. I pushed him away and took deep breaths to calm myself. He dove back at me and we ended up on the ground on the other side of the table. He sat up on top of me and punched me twice before I grabbed his hand and twisted it. He shouted and attempted to use his other hand but I did the same thing and pushed him off of me. His minions did not try to help fight me or help him get up and they just stared.
I got up shaking from the wretched urge to free my wings and Ray came to my side with his jacket. He placed it over my shoulders and then he led me to the bathroom. It was empty so I had the chance to let my wings out after removing my shirt so I wouldn't end up tearing it. We stayed there for about ten minutes and then we went back to the lunchroom and ate like nothing had happened. Flynn and his minions were no where to be seen and that was just fine. Thanks to him, we spent less time together. As we were leaving the lunchroom, the head teacher came by with a bright smile on her face.
"Just who I'm looking for." she said excitedly and then she frowned because of a student who came to block her way,"Move you imbecile." then she was back to smiling at me.
The girl moved and the headteacher was finally Infront of me. I didn't smile at her even though she was.
"Is there a problem ma'am?" I asked.
"No. No problem at all. But because of you we are being funded by Mr Guilder and he will be sending his daughter here."
That poor girl. She must still be traumatized by the incident. I don't mind protecting her. The sight of her, bloody and afraid, flushed in my mind and I shook a little bit. I got myself to smile at the woman and said,
"It will be nice to see her here. When will she be coming?"
"By Wednesday, I was told. I truly hope she is doing better."
"So do I."
There was a momentary silence that was offered for the abused girl and all girls going through the same ordeal and then the head teacher bid us farewell and left. I know she will definitely come back and she did, much sooner than expected.
"I heard you were in a fight." she said seriously and the smile that had been on her face when she left was gone
"Yes. Definitely was not my fault. I was simply defending myself." I said.
"Totally self-defense." my three companions said at once and she raised her brow in question.
"Do you have your sports attire?" she asked.
"No."
"Sheesh! I totally forgot to tell dad 'bout that." Ray said in realization.
"Come with me."
She better not be like Celine or else I'll freak out. Luckily she just gave me my sports attire and I left in peace to change. I went to my locker and opened it to get my shoes. When I closed it, and turned to leave, Riley was standing behind me. I was startled and dropped my things and she giggled.
"Not funny Rilili."
"If you keep calling me that I'll keep scaring you."
"Is there a problem?"
I bent down to pick up my things and noticed she had already changed and was in a miniskirt that revealed her milky, smooth long legs. The top was a baggy vest that if not worn with a bra or breast holder would leave the essential flesh exposed. I wonder what Rose looks like in this...While getting up, my head lifted Rilili skirt to reveal her panties and I closed my eyes and moved away. The atmosphere remained awkward for a while and I apologized sheepishly and turned away from her to go and change only to be greeted by the sight of Rose in her sportswear.
My hands turned to jelly and I dropped my things again. She was smiling before but now she is laughing at me. She is more curved than I remember. That shirt....
"Wassup butter fingers." she said crossing her arms and wow.....the view of her bossom...so tempting.
My nether regions started to heat up and I quickly picked up my things again and run away.
