Chapter 2 Classroom tension

FLOWERS HIGH**

Blaze inhaled hard when he got to the front of the school.

He smiled widely, finally he's in his dream school, thanks to scholarship and his brilliancy.

"Hope I'll survive in here" he said and proceeded in.

👥 New boy!

👥 Oh my!, Oh my!

👥 His face for me!

👥 He's handsome!

Girls started drooling over him Immediately as he walked past the hallway.

Cassidy stood by the door of the hallway with her mates, watching him

She smiled knowingly.

"I really shouldn't do this but my brother is more handsome," she said.

" Everyone knows sociopathic miss Amara is your only sibling" one of the girls said.

" Adam's identity has always been hidden because he grew up with our grandma in America, here" she said, showing them a picture of him on her phone.

👥 Is he human?

👥 He's strikingly beautiful!

👥 His dimples!

👥 When is he coming to Korea?

👥 Will he attend this school?

👥 I love him already lemme have his number

"My Adam or the new guy?" Cassidy asked.

"Your Adam!!" Everyone chorused and students started paving ways again as Havana appeared.

Havana is the prettiest and the most popular girl in the school.

She's an influencer and a popular TikToker.

She's on her phone as usual, snapping pictures and making videos as she walks in.

Guys wished to be the ground she's walking on, they're dying as she walks past them, she's currently making a video.

"Hi guys!, I'm just getting to school and I'm hoping to have a nice day...." She said and looked at the junior girls.

She pulled Cassidy to her side, making her gasp in shock.

"The prettiest junior girl in Flowers high, say hi to my viewers" she said.

" Hi!, I'm Cassidy Banks!" Cassidy smiled.

" Thanks, I love you!" Havana said and walked away, still continuing her video.

Cassidy held her chest.

"She touched me, senior Havana touched me!,, the most popular girl here touched me!, I got featured in her video, she told me she loves me!Even if I die right now, I have no regrets, I've accomplished my dreams...gosh I wanna die!" She gushed happily.

Another loud uproar made everyone start giving comments again.

It's Avery....the second most popular, Havana's enemy.

She's also an influencer and a TikToker like Havana but Havana is more popular.

Avery is arrogant!She can do anything to get what she craves.

She's making videos as she walks in too but everyone is avoiding her, she hates when anyone pops up in her videos.

Step on her, you're dead.

"It's your S*xy Maniac again!, Hi guys!, I'm currently stepping into school....

Cassidy smirked.

"Senior Havana is the best!" She shouted.

Avery stopped and looked back at her dangerously.

"Senior ... Havana....is...the...best" Cassidy winked and entered the class.

" I'll break her bones someday" Avery smirked and angrily ended her video before stepping into the senior class.

All the girls are busy staring at handsome Blaze.

"Newbie?" She wondered and took her seat.

Havana is sitting beside Blaze coincidentally.

"The new scholarship student?" She asked.

" Yes, Blaze Mendelssohn," he smiled.

" Nice to meet you, my name is...

" Havana Smith, I heard students chanting it when you came in, you must be quite popular" he interrupted and she smiled.

He concluded immediately that her smile is the most beautiful thing he has ever beheld.

"Well...yes, they say I'm the most popular and the most beautiful here, I'm into TikTok and I'm a social media influencer" she said.

" Oh, cool," he smiled.

" You must be very, very brilliant, that's the prerequisite for getting a scholarship to this school," she said.

" I am" he replied and she extended a hand.

" Friends?"

" Sure" she took her soft hand and Avery scoffed.

" She's seducing him well," she said, rolling eyes in Havana.

KRYSTAL GROUP OF COMPANIES**

Amara walked in, jumping happily on her heels.

"What should I buy next?A helicopter?" She giggled and gasped.

"The drama would have started jeez!" She said and made to grab the remote but when she saw the pile of documents on her desk, she stopped.

"Ligament!" She shouted and Yang rushed in.

"Who's supposed to work on all these?" She questioned.

" You, " he replied.

" Me?How come it's this much?" She scowled.

"You're just coming to work by 10:30 so you should expect a lot," he replied.

She fell on her chair.

" I won't be able to watch my favorite drama today because of these darn documents!"

" There's a conference one hour from now so you have to be done with the documents before then," Yang said.

" One.. one hour?"

" Yes, and tomorrow is the seminar at Haesung University, the one you were invited to give to English students," he said.

Amara held her head.

" Get out," she said.

" Take it easy"

"Get out snake!" She yelled and he rushed out.

She started working on the documents, not looking up for once.

She picked out one and smirked.

"Ligament!" She yelled.

Yang rushed in.

"Who typed this?" She held up the paper.

"Secretary Ming" he replied.

" Get her for me" she replied and Yang left.

Ming came in afterwards.

" Ma'am" she bowed.

" How could you make a typo in this kind of document?You didn't eat breakfast?" She glared.

" I'm sorry ma'am, I was rushing to get it done and...

Amara stood, Ming understood immediately.

"No ma'am...no no I'm sorry".

She went to the freezer and got the devilish bottle and a cup.

She poured the first cup and gave it to her.

"I don't want to!!" Ming said.

"Then you're fired" Amara replied and Ming quickly took the cup of aloe vera juice from her.

She closed her eyes and gulped it.

"Urggh!!" She grunted at the bitterness.

Amara poured the second cup.

Yang came in.

"She got caught," he muttered.

Ming drank the second cup and screamed, her throats making weird sounds.

Amara poured the third one and Ming almost cried.

"I'm sorry ma'am"

"Complete your dose, aloe vera helps body freshness" she said, giving it to her.

Ming gulped the third cup and ran out of the office, obviously to puke her guts out.

"I hate typos, it almost got me ruined last year" Amara said, returning the juice to the freezer.

" 30 minutes to the meeting," Yang said.

" Stop reminding me!" She snapped.

He held his lips and left the office.

"Ligament!" Amara called.

He closed his eyes in frustration. "I might just die at 38" he said to himself before going back in.

HAESUNG UNIVERSITY**

The second class was already going on when Summer came in, wearing a lot of makeup.

She's wearing an extremely short bum short and the fact that she's curvy made it so tight, then a thin-strapped singlet.

Her heels made her look more s*xy.

"Summer Hwang, this class started thirty minutes ago, why are you just coming?" The lecturer asked.

She smiled and walked gingerly to him.

She pulled his tie and students started murmuring.

"My mum owns the school so it's none of your f*cking business!" She gnarled before letting go of his tie.

She walked to Chrissy who's sitting beside Vince.

"Get up," she ordered.

"Why?" Chrissy replied.

"Are you questioning me now?It's my mother's school, you wanna get rusticated?" She said meanly

" I have no reason to stand," Chrissy replied and Summer giggled.

" How rich, get up!"

" Stop already" Vince said, not looking at her.

"I wanna sit beside you!" Summer yelled.

"I don't want to," Vince replied flatly, finally looking at her.

Summer breathed.

"Stop looking at me that way!It'll only make me want you more!" she snapped

" And you Chrissy, get ready cos I'll deal with your crap!" She said and stormed out of the class, her @ss bouncing as she walked.

Chrissy smiled, looking at Vince.

He just defended her which is so rare of him.

He rarely talks, he ignores everyone totally, it's still surprising that he talks to her.

He's cold but maybe she likes it like that.

The class finally ended and students started departing.

"Are you coming for the Miss Amara Banks seminar tomorrow?" Chrissy asked.

" I dunno," he replied and brought out the textbook she borrowed yesterday.

"Here, thanks," he said.

"No keep it, I bought another one" she quickly said but he placed it on her hand.

" I hate free things," he said.

"Vince ....

" I'm leaving," he said and left the class.

She turned back and stared as he walked.

Her eyes caught his sneakers.

"It's worn out," she said.

******

H_HEY RESTAURANT**

Highschool girls filled up the whole restaurant, they had food on their table but they're not eating at all.

They're staring at the handsome server, Vince.

More students are still lining outside, waiting for their turn to come in.

It's the daily routine in the restaurant, girls are the main patronizers all because of Vince the handsome server.

👥 Cute!

👥 His pouty lips!

👥 I love hairy guys like him!

👥 Those full brows!

👥 The beautifully sculptured nose!

Many are snapping his pictures too.

He dropped a tray of food on the next table and all the girls gasped.

👥 His biceps!

👥 Whoa!!

It went on till past 4 when it's time to go for another part-time job.

He took off his apron and faced his boss.

"I'll be on my way," he said.

"About your house rent you told me about, I'll give you tomorrow, your advance payment" the boss said.

He only bowed and left the restaurant only to meet Summer outside, standing beside her car.

"Hey handsome!, I'll give you a ride" She waved, smiling seductively.

Vince ignored her and started walking away.

She ran to him on her heels and held him

He broke free and glared before walking away again.

"Ya!, ya! Vince!" She shouted after him, stomping her foot on the ground.

******

NEXT DAY, HAESUNG UNIVERSITY**

Amara came down from her car and sighed.

She smiled and adjusted her black shades.

"I graduated from Oxford, first class, that's why I wasn't surprised when I got the invitation for this seminar, I deserve it" she said and faced Yang.

" Don't you think?" She said,

" Of course, just don't think of buying the students" he replied and she smirked.

She started her usual stylish walk into the school with Yang beside her.

👥 Miss Amara Banks!

👥 The psycho beauty!

👥 Did you see the video of what she did to chairwoman Yeji yesterday?

👥 I love her!

👥 I wanna be like her in the future.

👥 My role model!

Amara removed her sunglasses immediately as she stepped into the right block.

"Welcome miss" the head lecturer of the English department bowed in respect.

"The class" she replied and she was shown the way.

She entered the full class and the students started in admiration.

Well except one, Vince is busy jotting in his notes.

"Miss Amara Banks!" A student gushed.

"Thanks for introducing me, Amara Banks, a first class graduate of Oxford, I studied English as one of my majors and that's why I got a special invitation to expand your knowledge of English" she said and everyone clapped, except Vince.

" She's so cool," Chrissy smiled.

"Straight to business, let's start with the components of language," Amara said.

Yang just finished projecting on the white board.

"As you can see, there are five which are; phonemes, morphemes, context, syntax and lexemes" Amara said and Vince looked up.

" Wrong" he said and Amara gasped.

"What!'

" The ones you mentioned are just the main five, there are actually eight... including grammar, pragmatics and semantics" Vince said.

Amara scoffed.

" Are you correcting me now?"

"No rule says a student can't correct a wrong person," he replied casually.

" Wrong?" Amara said shockingly.

No one has ever used that word for her.

" I simply corrected," he said.

"Correct me?Who are you?Who the hell are you!" She said, walking to him.

Vince stood.

" Where are you going?" Chrissy asked.

" I got tired of her seminar" he replied and started walking out but Amara blocked him.

" It's my seminar, sit!" she ordered.

He took another way but she blocked him again.

"Sit!" She ordered.

"You should do that instead, you're breathing heavily" he replied.

" Ya!!!!" She shouted and grabbed him.

They both suddenly appeared at the edge of a cliff.

"Apologize!" She demanded.

"I have no reason to," he replied flatly.

"Beg me!" She yelled.

" I don't want to," he replied.

" Then leave," she said and pushed him.

He fell off the cliff and she woke up from her imagination.

It's actually an imagination.

"You're nothing but an arrogant snake!, a f*cking anaconda!" She said to his face.

Everyone laughed out loud.

"Then you should know an anaconda swallows, I might just do that" Vince replied and brushed past her , leaving the class.

Amara seethed with anger and her neck veins stood out.

"Ya!, Anaconda!" She shouted, rushing after him.

★★★★★

"Ya!, Anaconda!" Amara shouted after Vince, rushing out of class but he's gone when she got out.

Yang appeared beside her and hesitated before talking.

"Why don't we continue the seminar" he whispered.

She turned her burning angry eyes to him immediately.

"I mean... Why don't we go back to the institute" he said.

Amara stormed out of the place, walking so fast on her heels, imagining Vince as the ground she's marching roughly.

Yang went back to the class and got the laptop.

"Seminar cancelled" he said to the students and left the class, rushing after Amara.

"I'm wrong?How dare he!" Amara said in a rush as she continued walking, finally getting to the park.

Without waiting for Yang, she opened the door of the driver's seat.

"Get out, I need to drive myself" she ordered the driver.

"Drive yourself?, But miss....

" Get out! ' she yelled and he literally jumped out of the car.

She got in and zoomed out of the school.

Yang finally got to the park, breathing heavily as a result of the run.

"Where's Amara?" He asked.

"She drove herself," the driver replied and Yang smiled.

" This is not the time to try out your comedy skills, you're not funny," Yang said.

" I'm for real, " she told me to get out of the car and she drove off all by herself.

"Really?"

"Yes" the driver replied and Yang bent down.

"Congratulations to all the coffin sellers in Korea, good sales are coming their way today, I bet half of the people in Korea will die" he said funnily and stood.

" That brat can't drive!!!, She can't drive!!!!" He yelled at the driver.

"I know," the driver replied and Yang scoffed.

"You know but you allowed her to drive herself?" He said, hitting his forehead on the driver's own.

" Ah! Ah!" The driver winced.

"Get to the road now and trail her with a taxi!" Yang yelled.

ARIELLE'S FASHION INSTITUTE**

Arielle is currently on her tablet, staring at the video of what Amara did to Mrs Yeji yesterday and how she burned Kevin's shoes and socks, then what happened at Haesung University some hours ago.

She smirked and looked up from the tab.

" She keeps surprising me and anytime this happens, it makes me wonder if she's the same girl I knew fifteen years ago at Unicorn elementary school" Arielle sighed and dropped the tab.

" Now that she treated Zanillia's manager badly, let's see how she's gonna get the contract, that sick psycho, I wonder what made her richer, I hate her!" She said hatefully.

Her secretary came in with her coffee and she took it from the tray before standing.

She drank from it but spit it out Immediately.

The secretary started shaking.

"Are you tryna sacrifice my tongue to some spirits?How come it's so hot!" She yelled.

" You told me to make it piping hot" the secretary replied and Arielle poured the coffee on her face before smashing the cup on the ground.

"So because I said piping hot, you decided to destroy me huh?Do you have plans to kill me and inherit my properties?Hell no!That'll never happen!You'll remain poor forever, you pauper!" Arielle ranted.

" I'm sorry ma'am I'm...

"You're fired" Arielle interrupted

" Ma'am I'm sorry I won't make such a mistake again and...

Arielle threw her bag that's on the table at her.

"Get lost!" She shouted and she rushed out.

"They make it so hard to breathe normally" Arielle breathed heavily and her manager ( Bing ) came in.

"Bingo I don't remember inviting you" she said hotly.

"I already told you to stop calling me Bingo!, It's Bing!, Bing!" He yelled.

" Blame your name for sounding weird" she scoffed arrogantly .

" Post a vacancy for another secretary, I'll interview them myself, and find someone to clean this mess on the ground" she said, walking to a glasshouse.

She pressed a button and it opened, revealing a white gorgeous dress.

It's what she made for the showcase; she finished work on it two days ago.

"I can't help but admire it," Bing said.

Arielle touched the gown and smiled arrogantly

" I'll be getting Zanillia after the showcase, no doubt," she said and closed the glass before starting to walk out of the office.

"To the company, I'm done here for today" she said and Bing followed her behind.

FLOWERS HIGH**

It's lunch time and students can be seen loitering around.

Blaze remained in the class though, no money for lunch and even if he has, he'd rather keep it for his mother's drugs.

The class was empty because everyone left for lunch already so he just sat and read.

Havana came into the class with a ring light and her phone holder.

"Blaze, you're not going for lunch?* She asked.

" I don't eat lunch, what about you?" He asked.

" This is my lunch" she replied, setting her phone on the holder before pulling down her skirt.

Blaze quickly covered his eyes.

"What are you doing!'

"You have a dirty mind" she giggled and he slowly took his hand off his face.

She truly took off the skirt but she's wearing a short jean beneath.

She pulled off her shirt too, revealing a pink singlet.

"I get to do my afternoon videos during lunch when no one is in class but today I have you" she winked and he smiled.

She put on the ring light and played the song she'll be dancing to before starting the dance.

Blaze blinked several times, those who say she's beautiful are f*cking right...she is.

"Whoa" he said, staring hard.

She ended the video and put off the ring light before coming to him.

"My lunch video is coming soon but before then meet my seatmate in class, Blaze" she said, bringing the camera to his face.

"Say hi" she whispered.

"Annyeong!Blaze is my name!" He waved and Havana smiled.

" He's handsome right?If you wanna see more of him, keep following my page and invite more followers, video in a bit!" She said and smiled more widely when she saw comments about Blaze

Everyone is saying he's handsome and hot, her comments increased.

Blaze kept staring and when his eyes caught her bare fresh thighs, he quickly looked away.

"Oh no" he whispered.

Avery is watching from the window behind.

She gave a sour face before walking away angrily.
