Chapter 5 Shocking Appearance

"Yes, my Heiress." He responded, and she slapped the pad on his chest. He quickly caught it so it won't fall, and she finally went into the car.

" And make sure Danny gets home before I do. I want to speak to him." She said from within the car as the driver closed the door and went to his front seat.

Cederick quickly ran to the other car before he would be left behind, trying to sit with the guards, but he barely made it in when the car started and moved in high speed while the car door remained open. He almost fell out.

Despite the speed it moved at, he managed to grab the door and close it, and the cars went out of sight.

♣SANTERMOUNT ACADEMY♣

Immediately Silvia stepped into the school, she sighed in thoughts and looked beside her, imagining as if April was there and they were both holding hands.

The class bell rang, and imaginary April vanished. She got back to her senses and began walking to her science class with her handbag.

Actually, she was going straight to the laboratory, they had experiments to perform that day.

She got to the lab after two minutes, and she met students who had also gotten there before her wearing rubber handgloves, goggles and white lab coats.

She dropped her bag in a cupboard by the entrance, and she went to the dressing room of the lab to pick her own lab coat, rubber gloves and goggles.

The laboratory was a well furnished and designed faculty, arranged and cleaned to its neatest degree. There were tables arranged in rows and columns in the middle of the room, leaving the sides as spaces for the students to walk through .

There was an electronic keyboard in front of the lab, and a separate desk and chair for the teacher to sit in front of it.

Silvia dropped the gloves and goggles on a selected table, and began wearing the lab coat first. She wasn't even concentrated at all because she slowed down while wearing it, and thought about April's condition throughout.

She left the lab coat half-worn on her body in deep thoughts, thinking deeply as she just stood in front of the table.

" Am I a good friend at all? How could I possibly leave April alone at home? What if the situation at home will be worse than in school?" She thought to herself.

" Hey! Human!" She heard someone shouting in her ear, and she held it as she jerked out of her thoughts, looking beside her in angered startledness.

Her face calmed down when she saw who it was, and he smiled playfully at her with his arm resting on the table, holding his waist with his other arm.

" Oh my... It's Tiger!"

" How fancy!"

" He looks so good in white."

" His hair, I wanna stroke it so badly."

" I'll prefer kissing his lips, so sexy!"

The girls in the lab murmured around him, but Silvia cared less as she stared at him, although not knowing why exactly.

He stood upright with her and adjusted his lab coat, and he stretched out his hand.

" Xup?" He said, and she looked down at his hand, and back at him in confusion.

" Okay, guess you're not a fan of handshakes." He withdrew his hand, but Silvia sighed and palmed the table, looking away from him to her front.

" Hey, what's wrong? You were thinking before. You didn't even hear or notice me calling you." He said, but she didn't answer.

Then, Tiger thought of a plan, and he smiled.

"Well, you know... A beautiful girl like you isn't supposed to frown her face. You're too gorgeous to do that, come on." He teased playfully, and she faced him on hearing the word 'beautiful'.

" Beautiful?" She mentioned surprisingly.

" Yes, that's what I said. You're know you're even beautiful than me, right?" He raised a brow handsomely with a lovely smirk, and Silvia felt her heart racing when he did that, and she started staring even harder.

" So, tell me. What's bothering you?" He asked caringly, and she touched her neck nervously.

" Oh, I, uhmm..." She gulped not knowing what to say. She felt herself fidgeting so much in his presence. He paitiently waited for her to talk, looking into her eyes and blinking cutely, and it got her more nervous.

She sighed to get her confidence back, and that was when the teacher entered, interrupting their conversation. He walked to the front of the class.

" Good morning Dr. Cornwall." The students greeted.

" Good morning, sorry I'm late. Now let's just begin the experiment, we have less than an hour to ourselves to round up." The teacher rushed his words out, the he faced the electronic board, writing something on it with his fingers.

The students stood in front of each desk, one student per desk.

Silvia kept glancing at Tiger whose desk was beside her, but he wasn't looking at her at all, and her heart kept beating fast.

" We're conducting an experiment on electricity." He announced when he faced the class, and the topic was glaring bold on the board in uppercase. But to Silvia, it seemed to be glaring hard especially at her.

She faced Tiger, and that was when Tiger looked at her coincidentally.

She suddenly smiled at him, and Tiger returned it. Little did they know that the girls around were watching with jealousy and envy.

" Gosh, I don't know how I'm feeling right now. It feels so... Ecstatic." She thought to herself, smiling even more widely.

" Hmm, looks like someone's brightening up." Tiger said, and Silvia found herself laughing , much to Tiger's surprise.

She just laughed! And she looked even more beautiful doing that!

" You joke too much." She teased him, and he chuckled.

" Well, are you ready to tell me what's bothering you?" He asked, and she glanced at the board, looking at the topic.

She glanced back at him, and looked serious.

" Is it... Possible for... A human, to conduct electricity? Like large volumes of it?" She asked, and Tiger raised his brows at her question.

" Well, I'd say... Such a person doesn't exist." He replied simply, and her face turned anxious. " But why did you ask that?"

" Because..." She paused, looking at his expression. " I was just wondering."

" Well, good to meet you wonder woman. Everyone calls me Tiger, but I'll call you wonder woman." He teased her, and her heart skipped multiple beats as she felt like flushing herself away.

She was blushing hard! Her cheeks were red hot!

" Thank you." She replied awkwardly, rolling her hair in her finger.

" Your name?"

" Silvia." She replied.

" Hmm. A silver girl in a wonderwoman body. How gorgeous." He complimented, taking the back of her palm towards his face immediately, and her heart sped even more faster in suspense.

He kissed it!

He kissed her palm! Brain Tiger just kissed her!

The girls around were gasping in horror and shock that some even fainted. She felt overwhelmingly flustered to even look at his eyes when he lifted up his face. She looked away immediately, and he smiled at her.

They totally forgot that an experiment was going on, and the teacher was still explaining.

" Can I have your phone number at least?" He asked politely, and she managed to look up at him with courage.

He handed his phone over, and she collected it and glanced at him while typing it, and he smiled handsomely, making her blush.

She stretched his phone back to him when she was done, but he grabbed his phone along with her hand, pulling her closer to himself as if she was about to fall, and she gasped.

She got closer to him and her other hand landed on his chest, and she slowly looked up at him, met him staring down lovingly at her.

They were at the back desks of the lab this whole time, so the teacher hardly noticed them, but other students did and got their phones to record.

" I expected you... To kiss me back." He said, and she formed her lips funnily to keep in a chuckle.

She pushed his chest back with one finger, and they seprated like that, laughing together.

" I'll see you later, my panther." She teased him, and brought her lips forward to his cheek, planting a soft kiss there.

His heart made silly noises at the little magic she did, and she stood aright, not breaking eye contact.

Guess this was what they called... Love at first meeting.

♣HOME ∞ LIVING ROOM♣

April has not stopped thinking for the past two hours she's been lying down on the couch. She had one hand on her forehead, staring into space like she lost a soul.

She sighed for the 54th time, not looking like she'd stop soon. Or what else was there to do? Only silence was there by her side.

" You... Shall ... Learn... To... Use... Your... Powers... Soon..." She heard that same strange voice again, and she sprang up on her butt, looking left and right in panic.

" Wh... Wh... Who's there?" She moved on the couch, but no one replied.

She collapsed back on the couch, resting her thumb and index on her forehead.

" I'm... Literally... Going crazy." She spoke with emphasis and closed her eyes, then a phone dinged somewhere in the room.

She opened her eyes to see and hear clearly, and the phone dinged again, coming from the couch's bottom.

She sat up and bent down to look under, and she saw a phone's bright screen under there.

" Uhhh, my phone!" She gasped and picked it immediately, sitting on the couch to check it. A message was there.. from Natalie.

Her eyes sparked an active sense of electric blue at the sight, and her blood boiled in anger as she gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

She opened the message, and it read thus:

🖕BITCH, WHY AREN'T YOU IN SCHOOL YET? SCARED I'D KILL YOU? YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO SET YOUR DIRTY FOOT IN SCHOOL AGAIN, GREY WITCH. I'LL PAY YOU BACK FOR WHAT YOU DID TO ME, YOU FREAK! 🖕

" How the hell did she even find my number?" She asked herself furiously, and she stretched open her palm, feeling like she was strangling Natalie in it.

A shockwave of electricity built up in her palm and began electrifying. She moved her gaze from the phone screen to her palm, and was beyond shocked to see electricity in her palm.

" Aaaaaarrrrgghh!" She flinched and stood immediately, waving her palm vigorously in the air, and when she stopped to look at her palm, the electricity was gone.

" Gawd, I have to find an end to this." She said quickly to herself as she stared at her palm, and looked back at the screen.

" And I think I know how." She said as she dropped the phone on the couch and went straight into her room.

She opened the door, and went to her cupboard, flipping it open as she began throwing out dresses from it.

" Come on, come on, come on!" She muttered in desperation, digging harder and deeper into her heap of clothes.

At long last, she found a pair of white classy gloves and pulled them put.

" Ahah!" She shouted in victory and lifted them up in the air. She turned sideways to look at herself in the mirror beside her.

" Time for a little makeover, with no electricity." She said and looked down at her palms, shaking it as if to produce electricity, and when it didn't, she put on the hand gloves.

♦2 HOURS LATER ♦

Tiger was walking down the hallway with Danny, eyes glued to phone with a wide smile, and Danny was making a painful look, holding his chest, but Tiger didn't notice.

" So, having that pool party anytime soon?" Tiger asked without looking up.

" No. I don't think so." He replied lamely and weakly, squeezing his chest.

" Why not? Need a bitch to f**k instead?" Tiger asked and laughed playfully without looking away from his phone screen, and Danny stopped walking, beginning to pant slowly.

" Will you quit texting already?" He muttered pain-filled, pressing his chest down.

" No way, I'm in love." He lifted his head from the phone and hugged it whilst spinning dreamily, and he suddenly stopped, noticing Danny's poor condition.

" Hey, are you okay Dan?" He questioned, but Danny looked as if he was about to seriously collapse.

" Aaaaarrrrrggh!" He yelled hurtfully as his fingers dug into his heart, taking it no more.

" Danny!" Tiger shouted and came to his aid immediately, holding him, but some loud shouts and screams came from the school's entrance way in front of them, and in slow motion, they lifted up their heads to see.

Coincidentally, Natalie and her dogs happened to be passing by, and their eyes caught the scene to which they halted slowly on their tracks too.

Silvia was coming towards the place too to go somewhere else, when she saw the person that caused the students to scream an earthquake.

All their eyes widened in shock, and their jaws married the ground.
