Chapter 1 - Chapter One

"WOW!!!

"Ahh! I'm gonna have a heartache"

"This is too much for my sight"

"I love you Damon"

"Baby!!!"

Lot of noises were made as seven guys walked into the cafeteria. Students were creating a path for them as they marched forward. The students gasped as they stared endlessly. There was whispering amongst the students as one female human stood in their way and was talking.

"-then he kissed her at the back of the door. Gosh! That sight was so intimate. I was blushing Kim", an over-excited voice ranted.

"What? Why should I shush? Oh Kim! You're an ungrateful fowl. I am trying to be the perfect best friend by telling you what happened in the new episode yesterday but you are telling me to shut up!", The girl finally looked back and laughed.

"Who amongst them is your boyfriend?"

Kim's face palmed herself and whispered, " None. You need to get out of the fucking way Tessa"

"We haven't ordered yet"

"Later Tessa. We-"

"I'll like-"

"Stop!!!" One of the guys shouted. They were called the Sevens.

"Why should I stop? Do you own this building? Or rather, did you still build it?"

"Get outta my way little girl", Another guy named Simon said and Tessa laughed.

"Little girl? Aigoo!"

"Oppa! Don't mind my dumb friend. She just arrived. We're sorry. We'll just leave since we are not hungry anymore", Kim intervened while making an attempt to pull Tessa but the tigress refused to be pulled.

"What my best friend meant was we lost our appetite due to your unwanted presence. Secondly, we can't eat here cause you guys have polluted this air due to your unbearable body odor. It's quite unfortunate that my perfume is my class. Stay right where you are Mr. Cassanova. I charge a million dollars for touching Perverts", Tessa said savagely as Kim was cursing in her poor mind.

"I'll see you later boys. I have a class to attend", Tessa said as she allowed herself to be dragged by Kim. She waved her hand in the air to wish them goodbye.

Kim took her to a corner and Tessa expected her ranting and outburst but she was surprised. "Bitch! That was hot! Fire! Where did you get that from? I didn't expect you to attack them like that. Next time, please be careful. Those guys are dangerous. They may have come at you for embarrassing them back then."

"Come at me? Kim?"

"Yes Tessa. Come at you."

"That's bad. I was just joking. They were hot as fuck. But I guess I'll be popular in school. Mission five achieved. Girl... We're trending!!", Tessa grabbed Kim's hands in excitement.

"Who was that blue head by the way? I think I like him" Tessa said and bit her lips.

"Oh! That's Zavier. He's actually the leader of their group. "

"Zavier. " Tessa tried the name on her tongue and said his name repeatedly.

"Don't dream of a big girl. He has a hot girlfriend. Her name's Lina. She's a real bitch"

"What type of bitch? "

"All. Jerk. Plastic surgery is her main characteristic." Kim said and they both laughed.

"Thanks for coming to my school Tessa"

"Anything for you baby girl ", Tessa hugged Kim as they walked to their class.

They walked in with the Mathematics teacher. Tessa is actually a dumb head at mathematics. Even though she tries her best to concentrate, it would pass the two ears out of her head.

The class lasted for a few minutes after an hour. The guy sitting with Tessa tried some funny moves while the class was going on. He repeatedly kept his hand on her exposed lap and Tessa kept telling him in whispers: "I'm not that kind of girl".

He only stopped when Tessa took his index finger and turned it back as he gave a loud scream. Heads turned in their direction and she smiled sweetly.

"Hey baby" Tessa smiled at her baby brother who called her via facetime.

"Ma-ma", the baby called tenderly and she laughed while putting her baby tendrils behind her ears.

"Where's mama?" Tessa asked as her brother took the camera to his nostrils and she let out a soft chuckle.

"Ryan. Ryan.." Tessa called twice and her brother took the camera back to the normal position.

"Tessa " he managed to say but the phone was grabbed from his hand and he began to frown.

"Tess. I'm sorry for this. You must be in class. ", Her mom apologized.

"No mom. I'm free at the moment. "

"Oh great. So, any gist for your mother?"

"Yes mom. But I will tell you when I get home. You should attend to Ryan. He's not happy "

"He's being troublesome lately. I think it's high time he starts school", her mom replied and they laughed.

"Alright mom. See you later. Love you", Tessa blew a kiss to her mom.

"Love you too T", her mom said and disconnected the call.

"See if it's not the bitch that shamed our sevens", three girls approached her and slammed a hand on her desk.

Tessa ignored them and logged into her snapchat. She has some messages to reply and reels to watch.

"Hey bitch! We're talking to you", one of them screamed at her.

"I think you girls should leave and stop causing a fuss", a nerdy girl in the class said but was sent a glare by the girls immediately.

"You!!!", One of the girls, Annabella, grabbed Tessa's brown hair but Tessa held her hand firmly as she let out a shriek.

"Leave my hand! Now! Are you deaf or something? Get her!!" Annabella yelled and pointed at Tessa. Tessa loosened her grip on Annabelle's hand and attacked the girls.

She targeted their legs and kicked them when necessary. She avoided their fists and pulled their hairs. They started it first.

Tessa, Annabella and her girls were summoned by the management. They were chastised and first aid was given to the girls for their minor wounds. Everyone stared as Tessa made her way to the field. They may be staring for many things but Tessa was sure of two main things.

One: She was too beautiful for their sight.

Two: They wanted to see the person that stood up to the sevens.

Silent glares were passed between Annabella and Tessa. They just couldn't stand each other.

"Mtcheew", Annabella hissed and Tessa rolled her eyes. Biology was the next subject. Tessa liked biology but it is not really her thing because she has to keep all those long and ridiculous names on her head. She usually has difficulty in learning some words.

She just liked the subject but she doesn't like the long names she has to keep on her head in order to pass. She stared at her phone as the female teacher taught the subject with happiness.

"Miss Rose, did something good happen on your way here?", A student had the courage to ask.

"Oh! Am I smiling too much? Anyways, my boyfriend proposed to me this morning" Miss Rose replied with a smile.

There were whispers among the students.

"Quiet! Quiet now! Let's continue ", the class continued and Tessa discovered she was getting it little by little.

A paper was passed to Tessa from the back seat. She chuckled from what was in the content. Three guys wanted her phone number. She wrote her number in the paper and passed it back to them.

"It's good to be popular from the beginning ", she muttered to herself after passing the paper. Kim looked at Tessa with her side eye and Tessa mouthed the word 'What'. Kim rolled her eyes and turned her head to the front.

The class was over and Kim rushed to Tessa's seat. "Let's go to the field," Kim proposed.

" Field? It's boring. I went there a while ago."

"Huh? That's because the majority of the students were having class. We are on recess right now so the field will be a little full of students. Let's go right now if we want to see hot guys", Kim suggested with her hand on Tessa's shoulder.

"Please Tess. We're gonna come back if you don't like the place", Kim pleaded with her.

"Fine. Okay", Tessa said.

"Get up then. We ain't got all day", Kim announced and Tessa told her she would come in a little bit.

Kim went ahead to the field to look for a spot for both of them. After five minutes, Tessa made her way out of the class to the field. She was walking when she received a call from Ryan again. This time on his tablet. She had to pick it when she collided with a person.

"Tessa!!", Ryan's voice brought the two humans that collided back to reality.

"I'm so sorry", Tessa apologized to the person and made to pick her phone on the ground but he picked it up already. His hand brushed hers when giving her the phone. She started fuming when she saw that he was among the sevens.

"Easy! I'm not cocky", the guy said and flashed his beautiful teeth at her.

"Whatever. Thanks ", Tessa said and made to go when he asked for her name.

"Tessa", she answered.

"Tessa", he said her name gently and she nodded slowly as a tortoise. "Nice name. I'm Damon ", he said.

"I never asked for your name," Tessa replied savagely.

"Tessa. Where are you?" Tessa heard her baby brother's voice and realized she had blocked the camera with her fingers. She raised it to her face and said, "Baby I'm here".

"Your brother?", Damon asked with a small smile.

"Yes. What's the matter? He's much cuter than you", Tessa said.

Damon smiled and Tessa was annoyed. "What do you find amusing?"

"It's nice to hear that you called me cute. You're also cute ", Damon spoked and smiled.

"Ahh! I didn't mean that. You know what? Bye. I'm off", Tessa declared and left there. When did she call him cute? She just can't remember? Such a dumb brain.

She resumed talking to her brother and asked him why he called her. He was a little sick because he had to attend school last week so mom asked him to stay home.

Unless Tessa, her three year old brother loves school. Her elder brother will be coming to the house tomorrow. Tessa loves him because of many things.

She gets to spend his money. She gets to follow him to VIP parties. She gets to attend the club when he's around. It's good to have a good hacker in the house. Her brother is a powerful and rich hacker that has worked in many big companies. His salary is something to be envious of. His girlfriend is also a big catch.

Tessa did not like her that much. She can be a huge bitch most times in the case of spending.

"What did you eat Ryan?"

Ryan giggled and replied " Cereals"

"Cereals? Let me see your teeth"

Ryan took the camera to his teeth and Tessa laughed. "Wow Ryan. You're growing a new tooth."

"Tessa. Austin?"

"Oh Austin. He's fine Ryan. You know what? I'm walking on the road"

"And?"

"And I may fall so I'll call you later. Go and read for Austin and I Ryan. Read your book for Austin okay?"

"B-but I'm tired"

"Okay. Go to sleep then or play with mom and dad", Tessa proposed and he frowned.

"K-kim?"

"Kim is a tired baby. Go and sleep for us. You are not feeling well."

"Okay tessa. Bye"

"Bye baby", Tessa waved and disconnected the call. Had it been she didn't tell him to go and sleep they would spend so much time on the phone. Ryan has been talkative lately. Thanks to Austin's girlfriend that bows to his wishes all the time. She takes him everywhere and plays with him. Tessa is happy that she is useful in that aspect.

"Whew!", She sighed and waved to Kim.
