Chapter 9 Met a Siren

I frowned and looked at Jacob who had a smirk pasted on his lips. He scoffed. "You passed the welcome party."

"A prank is your welcome party?." I scoffed. "Take it as a gift to you. Look at her," He points at the teacher who turned to leave the class. "She made the dean wipe me with a cane. That's her punishment, and you"

"I made you go into detention, i know."

Another teacher walks in looking angry. He walked behind the teacher's table and dropped his book. He then glared at us, we were like 20-30 in class, all filled with stubborn students. They are hoodlums and the reason behind the school board building up the detention class. It was a class meant for troublesome kids like Jacob. Kids who find it hard to learn with others, kids who fights and cause trouble. Anything can happen in detention class, a teacher get you wipe unlike the other normal classes where you are sent to be interrogated and meets yourself here. It's just like the second phase of the school and the third is the riping up to be handed to the police.

The teacher walked around the class inspecting any foul play before clearing his throat. He had a deep frown across his face. "As the person incharged of the detention class, i brought you news." He says.

None of us spoke, we only listened raptly to hear what he had to say. " The school board for the first time has requested us to join the upcoming quiz."

Murmurings erupted from the class as everyone rendered their complaints to each other. "Quiet."

The class was back to silence.

"I sense a foul play in this." I told my companions who no doubt nodded. "They want to disgrace us " Jacob's friend who i didn't know his name added. "Gid, we can't be disgraced, I am Jacob." Jacob boasted. "We aren't doing it. We are not doing it." He shouted and everyone joined the chaos.

"Shut up!!" The teacher shouted and walked towards the lines. "You must find someone to represent you," he started walking away but turned. "You don't know, your days over here might be numbered." He took his book and walked out. "Did you hear that?, Jacob."

"Perfect. They might look into our case." Jacob told him.

"Wait!. What do you mean they will look into your case?" He breathed out. "After you reported us, the dean searched other crimes attached to us and called us off. He said 'you'll be called back in future,' "

He said in the dean's voice and we laughed. "No one has called us, we don't know when we'll be out of here."

"The dean is wicked. He's really wicked."

"Hey, Eloise" A red colored brunette calls me. "I heard you're smart. What if we nominate you for the task?." I scoffed. "I can't do it. I'm restricted by the school board."

"Damn it!!. Catherine can." She said. "Who's Catherine?" I asked. "She's a girl who has been in the detention class for as much i can remember, she's always late. None of us knows why she's here, though she was rumored to come here willing."

"No one would want a dungeon willing."I stated. "Hehe. Not for her. She's a freak. I think she should be here already." Jacob said checking out his wrist watch. I smiled lightly at him. I didn't know i would be speaking so freely with Jacob. I thought he would grab me infront of the class and beats me for sending him into isolation. He acts really friendly, something i never thought he acts like. Detention class is really amusing, as how everyone does everything together.

My nose instantly picked up a scent of lavender mixed with honey locust. The familiar scent became stronger and i shifted uncomfortably to Jecob who never noticed as he assigned everyone their duty. He was like the head and the lead and he was during pretty well. "You'll give us points." I look at him. "Yes. You've been to the quiz before, you'll give us few points,"

"But..." I was cut short when the smell intensed and i look at the direction of everyone to see a pale yellow to brownish haired colored blonde girl standing at the door. She had deep blue ocean eyes like mine and a very slender modelled body. Her skin was glistening as she walked into the classroom. My mind screamed out the first thought 'Siren'. The first supernatural I'd seen since i was born.

"Catherine is here." The brunette said. She walked into the class and sat at the front not sparing us a glance. Jacob stood from his seat and walked towards her form. He bent down and whispered into her ear, that only i heard.

She stood up and walked with him towards us." Cathy. You'll represent us in the quiz." She battled her lashes at me, with an intense look. Her eyes scrutinize me very well before she removed her eyes from mine to look back at Jacob. "I can't." Her prim look marching her oval beautiful face. She is beautiful, i admitted. Sirens were very beautiful mermaids, but they were extremely dangerous. They had all features except for a good heart. They kill without second thought and that was why the other mermaids were at war with them. Mermaids of the sea were harmless, so they were against sirens. "Why?" Jacob asked. "I don't want to." She answered plainly. "I told you." The brunette girl said.

"You don't want us to leave detention class?." Gid asked.

"I don't wish to." They gasped. " The rumors were true. She love the detention class." Gid muttered to Jacob. Cathy frowned. Apparently she heard them. "I'll do it." Everyone bright up. "Really?. You're really going to do it?"

"Well, yes. I don't want you guys to think i love the detention class." She replied glaring hardly at Gid. I chuckled. "Okay. Eloise, you'll take care of the points. Both of you will work together."

"You know what to do, right Cathy?" I asked her. She looked at me strangely. I had a feeling she has been trying to discern what i was. She scrunch up her face and inhaled deeply but smelt nothing. My human form masking my scent. Sirens are observant. "Cathy?" I called her. She jerked up and perked into me. "Cool." She replies.

The bell for lunch was rung and i exited the class to see my friends. I had missed them although it was fun back at detention class.

Strong hands grab me and in a sec, i was thrown into a bathroom. The person turned and pinned me to the wall. I open the eyes i didn't know was shut all this while and saw a sneering Cathy. "Not too surprised, siren." Her eyes grew wide when i said that, she inhaled and sniffed parts of my body. "Who're you?" She asked. "Human." I said. She pushed me more in an idea to choke words out of me. I smirked. "You're one of us, right?" I smirked. We heard foot steps approaching the bathroom and she immediately released me.

We were standing infront of the mirror when the door opened and a blonde guy walked in. He stared at us strangely and said. "I thought i heard something, Eloise." Confusion washed over me. I didn't know this guy. "Do you know me?" I asked but received a growl beside me. I turned and saw Cathy seething in anger. Her eyes had turned blue and she tried really hard to mask it. I went into her thought instantly. 'Hunters'.
