Chapter 2 University

"It's my first day at the university. I had done all the necessary things yesterday.

I'll be having a physics lecture this morning in about 5 minutes."

"Rushing over to my locker, dumping the books I was holding, and picking the necessary ones out and into my little backpack."

"Rushing into the busy hallway of the physics hall, the small walk to the double doors was a struggle with scholars running around."

" It felt like almost everyone was late for a class or maybe it was just the lazy freshmen."

"I checked my time and I was 9 minutes late, shrugging my shoulders and heading for the door. I paused and gave the door two light knocks courtesy demands I came late so I can't just barge in like a crazed animal.

"Pushing the door open and as expected I got all eyes on me. Having about a hundred eyes on just one person is terrifying, cringing internally in my spot at the door."

" Come on in Dear I'm Mrs. Bergen," your physics lecturer, the young brunette said smiling at me warmly, no I'm not buying that facade.

"That's great, can I sit now?" I asked, keeping a neutral expression and tapping my foot continuously on the floor.

"Yes, you can sit after you grace us an introduction Mrs. Bergen challenged with a little frown on her lips."

" Uh, oh Hi class I'm Rin Hagar we just moved here from Toronto I said casually while looking at my fingernails as if they were the most interesting thing in the whole plentiful Earth."

"Is there anything more you'd like to say?" Mrs. Bergen said, making me lose my shit.

"Yes, I do have something to say, Mrs. Bergen," I replied with a devious smirk.

"Go on, Mrs. Bergen," said, adjusting her glasses.

"I just think it is funny, how you all don't get the cue to close unwanted conversations," I said, raising my voice a little.

"You know what Rin Hagar?" Mrs. Bergen said, walking close to me.

"No, tell me," I said, not willing to back down.

"Well, I just think it is funny how you are a messed-up and nasty kid," now go sit your Nazarian ass down Mrs. Bergen spat through gritted teeth.

"Nice meeting you too Mrs. Bergen," I said, grinning.

"Meet me in my office after class," I heard her say before I walked away with a smug smile to the last row at the end of the hall.

"Somehow, amidst my raging thoughts," I managed to scribble a reasonable amount of words onto my notebook.

"I know I was rude for no reason there but it was my only defense mechanism," I've always had stage fright that was the only thing I could do to stop myself from crying.

"They say every day of your life the devil will send somebody to annoy you."

"I guess today is my lucky day because he decided to send an angel of his to me," if you know what I mean.

"Hey newbie," a blonde pink-haired girl called, sashaying her way over to me.

"I ignored her, squirreling away my belongings into my bag.

"Well, I know you can hear me because this is not a school for the disabled she said, flipping her hair."

"What do you want?" I asked curtly.

"I just think it is funny, how you pop up from God knows where and try to take the Queen's place she said, emphasizing the word Queen."

"Well, I do think it is funny how you never grew up after high school. I said walking over to stand in front of her."

"You are not the one to talk, your display earlier was totally out of character, absolutely immature," she said, smirking.

"At least I know how to mind my business," I said, moving a step further.

"I'll give you advice," just walk away quietly. She replied not willing to back off.

"I was about to walk away until the devil sent you to me, " I said, frowning my face.

"What the fuck bitch?" She said, raising her hand to slap me.

"Well, you will drop down that little hand of yours because I wouldn't mind dislocating that pretty little thing since you don't know how to use it properly, perhaps you might need a lesson, " I said looking her dead in the eyes.

"I'm the Queen, you don't talk to me like that, girls? Say something, are you all gonna stand there? And watch her disrespect me. She yelled in anger and frustration but none of them dared to speak.

"A Queen is not intimidated by her subjects," I said, smirking at her.

"One of the girls was about to say something until someone interrupted.

"What's going on here cowgirls," the dark-haired boy said.

"Well, it seems like drama and more drama," I said slowly, and from the corner of my eyes, I saw him spare me a glance before returning his attention to Miss blond hair.

"What's going on here, Tatiana? He said, looking between us.

"So this blonde demon is Tatiana? Such a beautiful name for an ugly soul I thought nodding my head.

"Well uh, you see I was just welcoming her to our school, " she said nervously.

"I see clearly, " the dark-haired boy said, frowning while looking at those demons.

"Since you are here we can forget about her, so would you like to come to my party tonight? She asked, wrapping her arms around him, how do girls do these things shamelessly?

"Uh, oh guys, am I supposed to stand here and watch this blonde demon lie and wrap her hands around Mr uh black hair or whatever the heck it is I said looking very much unbothered.

"Well, point of correction, I'm Ethan and you are? He said, raising his brow at me.

"I'm Rin," I replied, rolling my eyes.

"And what do you mean about Tatiana lying?" Ethan said, looking at me intensely.

"Ask your girlfriend, dear Ethanol," I said, picking my backpack up.

"It's not Ethanol! And back to you Tatiana, don't you ever touch me like that. It was a one-time thing and you know the rules. It can't occur twice.

"Okay, since there won't be a fight, permit me to excuse myself. I have better things to attend to, I said, laughing my ass out.

" I've wasted so much time, thanks to demon Tatiana but thinking about it now I could have just walked away.

"I kept asking every student around for Mrs. Bergen's office until I finally got to the brown door then took a deep breath before turning the knob.

"You are late Miss Hagar Mrs. Bergen says, dropping the book onto her desk with a loud stud.

"It is not an appointment," I said, shrugging my shoulders and turning around to look at her.

"And who said it wasn't? Mrs. Bergen asked with a strained smile.

"We didn't schedule a time," I said, frowning.

"I told you to come to my office immediately after class. She said letting out a snort.

"Will you keep on arguing with me or let me know why I'm here? I said, scoffing.

"Apologize to me Miss Hagar," she said snorting.

"I was intending to apologize. All you had to do was keep quiet. Look I acted out of character and I'm sorry, your persistence made me lose my shit and you should work on that too.

"That is not an appropriate apology Mrs. Bergen said, drumming her fingers on the table.

"Whatever go fuck yourself I said turning to walk out of her office pissed.

"I know who you are, Rin Hagar, I know what you are hiding but whether I tell someone depends on you, act nice and we're safe, " she said, smirking.

"And oh have a nice day," she added, laughing.

"Have a nice fucking day to you nazi bitch I said, smiling deviously while waving my phone at her.

"Try blackmailing me again and if you'll excuse me, I have a lecture to attend," I added before sashaying out of her office.

"Back at Mrs. Bergen's office.

"Mrs. Bergen could be seen throwing things around. How could she be this sloppy to let a little kid outsmart her? She has put so much work into this but it is a good thing that Rin doesn't know her real identity yet and it was only a time before she did, the kid is an Inquisitive one, all she had to do was get her phone as soon as possible.
