Chapter 2 The New Girl

Elena heads for the living room with her bag behind and met her Dad sliding his Pistol into his holster.

"Hey Dad you look worried is anything the matter". Elena asked.

"Four bodies were found in the wood and my attention is needed there". Mr. Gomez said wearing his boot.

"Four bodies? What the cause of their death?". Elena asked.

"Well according to the report i think they were attacked by wild animals with claws". Mr. Gomez said.

"Be careful Dad cos I don't want to lose you". She said.

"It's okay girl I'll be careful". He said heading for the door.

"Where's mom? I finished breakfast and I haven't seen her yet". Elena asked.

"She's part of the individuals that took an ambulance 🚑 there". Mr. Gomez said.

"Okay Dad".

"Join me in the car so I'll drop you at school". He said.

Mr. Gomez got into his cop vehicle and sat down.

Elena soon joined him at the front seat and sighed.

She adjusted her hair from her shoulder and Mr. Gomez saw a plaster on her neck.

"Hey what's this?". He said holding her hands from using the hair to cover it.

"It's nothing dad". She said faking a smile.

"Nothing?? What happened to your neck?". He asked.

Elena scratched her head and then spoke out.

"Emm. I slipped and fell over the stairs". She lied.

"Oh my God. Are you okay?". He asked.

"No.. Yes. Yeah am fine". She said stylishly covering it with her hairs.

"Did your mom treat you?". He asked.

"No. I did it myself. It's just a minor wound dad, i shouldn't bother mom about it ". She said.

Mr. Gomez smiled softly.

" Our future doctor, Elena ". He said and she smiled.

" Nevertheless your mom will have to do a check up so we'll be sure there is no fracture ". Mr. Gomez said and she nodded.

He turned to the steering and started driving.

In five minutes they were already by the school gate.

Elena got down from the car and waved at her Dad.

" Bye dad ". She said and entered the school compound.

She touched the plaster on her head.

"oucch!". She moaned out.

Sarah kicked her there really hard and she sustained an injury.

"Thank God i did not die". Elena thought.

She entered through the hallway and kept walking.

She soon turned to the south hallway at the left and stopped by a classroom.

She heaved heavily and pushed open the door.

The eyes of the entire class turned her her.

"Here comes the cat eyes girl". Johnson announced and they began to laugh.

"My Grand mom has agreed to borrow you her glasses 👓". Sarah said and they laughed further.

Elena bowed her head and walked to her seat to avoid the gaze of her classmates.

She wanted to seat but Sarah pushed away her chair and she crashed unto the ground hitting her butt on the ground.

" Ahhh". She cried out.

"Hahaha!". Her classmates laughed pointing to her.

She stood up slowly in pains and slapped the dust off her dress with her handkerchief.

She then returned the chair to it position and sat on it.

"Weakling!". Darwin shouted.

"Frog eyes". Sarah added.

They were still saying all manners of things when the Mathematics teacher entered.

"Good days students. Hope you ahad a good night rest". She asked.

"Yes Miss Anna ". They chorused.

"You ain't talking Elena". She said to Elena who was thinking about how her dad might find out sooner all later.

"Em.. No.. Yes". She answered abruptly.

The entire class burst out into laughter.

"What's funny?". The teacher asked.

"She was watching The Walking Dead throughout the whole night". James said.

"Frog eyes don't have the ability to watch horror movies, she's at sponge Bob Square pant level". Johnson said and they continued laughing.

Tears were already forming in her eyes.

"Are you nut? How dare you call the creature of God a frog eyes". Miss Anna shouted and they all kept quiet.

The class was now as silent as a grave yard.

"One hour detention". Mrs. Anna said and the whole class screamed.

"Will you keep quiet?". She shouted.

The door open slowly and the ray of light shew on the face of a teen girl as she entered.

All the whole class opened their mouth aghast.

"Yep this should be the right classroom". She said.

"Are you a new?". Miss Anna asked.

"Yes". She answered.

"Okay then, go and have your seat. By the way what's your name?". Mrs. Anna asked.

"Silvia... Silvia Nicholas". She said.

"Silvia??". All the whole class chorused wondering what such of name is that.

Silvia walked up to Elena's seat and sat on empty chair close to her.

"Okay then". The teacher said and turning to the board she began to write.

"Hey am Silvia". She said smiling at Elena..

"I.. I.. I am..". Elena stammered to say.

"Hey are you shy or what? You've been cold since I saw you". Silvia said.

"I am fine. My name is Elena". She said.

"Wow coolest name ever". Silvia said and she smiled softly.

Mrs. Anna taught for about forty minutes before ending the class for that day.

"Hey frog eyes did you bring any snacks for us today?". Johnson said.

"Am hungry. Am damn hungry". Darwin said.

"Who's frog eyes?". Silvia whispered to Elena and then noticed she was crying.

"Oh my God why are you crying? What's wrong?". Silvia asked.

She remained mute.

"Is frog eyes crying?". Sarah asked.

"Oh my Gosh don't tell me you're the one they're referring to". Silvia whispered.

Elena nodded slowly.

She looked back angrily and stared dagger at Sarah.

"Are you insane? How dare you call a fellow smate that?". Silvia cursed.

"Hey Newbie ...We rock this class and no one question my Authority here". Sarah said.

"You what? You rock insanity. What has the girl done to you?". Silvia asked.

Elena was totally amazed this was like a dream, she couldn't believe someone was stepping up for her. What did Silvia see in her and decides to back her up.

"Hey Silver or whatever you're called you're called, mind your business or you'll regret ". Darwin said.

"Will you shut up you chubby pig?". Silvia cursed and the class laughed except Sarah who kept a stern look.

"How dare you?". Darwin roared standing up.

The door opened and the Biology teacher got in.

Throughout the lesson Darwin, Johnson and Sarah's head were burning.

They were so angry at how a new students could just confront them like she was a Queen.

They couldn't wait for the lesson to be over, they needed to deal with her so she could respect them.

Elena turned to Silvia.

"Why did you help me?". Elena spoke out.

"You're too cool for my liking. How can you ignore all those insults and curse?". Silvia inquired.

"They'll beat me up". Elena said.

"Let's listen to the teacher. He hates noise". She added.

Silvia wanted to speak further but held her peace and listened to the teacher.

Like a joke the clock ticked and ticked until clocked 11am.

Elena ran out of the class speedily as usual and Silvia who was surprised followed after her while Sarah was raging at the class for laughing when Silvia insulted them.

Elena entered into the enclosed room in the large restroom and

rest her back on the wall.

"Why do they all hate me. Am i truly a weakling. After suffering to do my Homework Sarah snatched it and presented it to Miss Rose and was commended while i served detention for not doing it, managed to tell the teacher what happened by the time we got to the class Sarah had copied my work and hide my note, to avoid much attack from them i couldn't defend myself and they still beat me up. All the snacks mom and dad bought for me all gone as they eat it all ". Elena

soliloquises in tears.

The door opened and she almost screamed thinking it was Sarah but it was Silvia.

Elena heaved and quickly cleaned her tears up.

"Don't tell me all you said was true". Silvia said.

"What?" Elena asked in pretense.

"I heard all you said. So this od what they have been doing to you huh?". Silvia asked and she remained mute.

"You're to cool for my liking girl speak up. Am a friend". Silvia said.

Since Silvia was the only friend she got now and never wanted Silvia to hate her so she spilled out all that have been happening to her not missing a single point.

"What?". Silvia shouted.

"Who have you told about this?". She added.

"No one". Elena said.

"Do you know the reason I haven't given you a resounding slap. It's cos I was once a nerd like you. You suffering all this and you keep enduring huh". Silvia said.

"They'll beat me up if I try to retaliate. Everyone hates me you're the only friend I got". Elena said.

"It's okay Girl. Clean your tears, provided am in this school no one, I repeat will dare lay their filthy fingers on you". Silvia assured.

Elena's jaw dropped in shock.

"They're many...". She was saying and Silvia cuts in.

"Do you want us to be friends forever?". She asked and Elena nodded.

"Then do whatever i tell you to do. Agreed?". Silvia asked.

"Yeah". Elena answered wondering where she had now summoned such courage. If Silvia was able to defend her when no one did then she had to stick with her.

They walked back to the class and meet Miss Anna teacher just entering the classroom.

They entered and found their way to their seat.

Johnson entered the class almost with red eyes as he had been deprived of break while serving his punishment.

"Well your history is attending a meeting so here I am filling in the space". Mrs. Anna said and sat on desk.

There was murmuring and complain in the classroom.

"I wonder why you all hate mathematics". She said.

"Well it's just a revision so throw your questions on topics you don't understand and I'll answer them or Gurus among you can solve them, Gurus like Sarah". Miss Anna said and Sarah flashed her white teeth.

Silvia raised up her hand and everyone stared at her even Elena knew she was up to something but couldn't figure it out.

"I resumed school today and um a Homework was accessed lately but I've gone through the solution and I don't seem understand it so i would love if Sarah could teach us all cos I heard she got all and no one did". Sarah said.

The class became as quiet as a grave yard.

"She's definitely a witch". They could hear voices from behind.

Sarah's hearts began to pound heavily and sweat began to form on her forehead despite the air conditioning system.

"Oh that's true Silvia not everyone got all. Well let the humble guru come and teach the class up here ". Mrs. Anna said.

There was no movement as her head was down.

"Sarah, where are you?". She asked.

Sarah stood up and walked slowly to the board.

Silvia smiled softly and fold her hands.

She took the marker and moved to the board.

Mrs. Anna already wrote the questions on the board for her.

Sarah placed her hands on the board but couldn't write anything.

Thick sweats were now forming on face and her fingers were shaking seriously.

"We're waiting Miss Sarah". Mrs. Anna said.

After waiting for several minutes Sarah was still on same spot not been able to write a single number.

"Am totally disappointed in you. I thought you solved it huh. Go to your seat". Mrs. Anna said.

Sarah returned to her seat in tears and anger.

The disgrace was just too much for her to bear.

"Is there anyone here who can solve it?". Mrs. Anna asked.

"Can you?". Silvia asked Elena.

Elena nodded.

"Go".

Elena wanted to object but it was like Silvia read her thought already.

"Remember our deal".

Elena picked up courage and walked to the front of the class.

Everyone stared in awe.

"What is frog eyes coming to do?". They all thought.

She began to solve it and explained the steps as she wrote.

In the twinkle of an eye, she had perfectly taught it like a pro.

"Oh my God this is amazing. You really surprised me Elena, keep up the good work". Mrs. Anna said and parted her shoulder.

Elena returned back to her seat, she could see the fierce eyes of her enemies staring at her.

"

A round of applaud for Elena Gomez ". Mrs. Anna said but only Silvia did.

"Have you fallen in love with my detention? I said a round of applaud for her". Mrs. Anna shouted.

Everyone had no option than to clap for her.

"That's my baby girl ". Silvia whispered and she smiled softly.

"Ten Marks for you Elena". Mrs. Anna said.

"Huh!". Everyone shouted.

🕷️MEANWHILE🕷️....

🕸️SOMEWHERE ELSE 🕸️....

A young man could be seen staggering into a basement clenching to his stomach with his hand.

He soon came to halt in front of an old man with walking stuck.

"Father, The Werewolves are back". He cried aloud.

"You should have asked which breed before you attack". The Old man said.

"I never knew it was the Nicholas Breed". The young man answered.

"Yes. The most dangerous.. It'll be full moon soon.. Prepare for there's a lot of work to do". The Old man muttered.

"Yes father".

.......Stardom High School........

Elena and Silvia could be seen giggling as they walked down the hallway.

"You need to see how she was sweating like no other". Silvia said and they burst into laughter.

Unannounced Sarah and her gang blocked their ways with a stern look

Johnson and Darwin walked out from a room and stood at the girls back surrounding the both of them.

"Here you are". Sarah roared angrily.
