" Clara, aren't you done, get your ass down here. " I heard my mum's voice from downstairs .
"Am coming ma. " I yelled back and I heard her scoff. Today is my first day going to Clifford High school.
We moved to this city recently with my mum and she says it is a must. I must attend school after the last incident that happened in my former school.
Furthermore, I actually don't want to talk about it. I just hope you'll find new friends, not some f* cking betrayers.
I grabbed my bad pack after combing your hair and wearing my sneakers. I ran downstairs, I met your mum making breakfast, and she smiled at me .
" Good morning mum" I kissed her, and she ran her hands through my hair.
"Mum" I chuckled, fixing your ruined hair and she rolled her eyes.
I sat around the table eating when I caught mum staring at me . I raised a brow at her.
" Mum" I dropped my fork and she cleared her throat. Like it's actually an important thing she wants to say.
"Honey you're starting a new school, that means new Friends. Please don't make friends like your old ones" She stared at me waiting for my reply, since we guys moved into this new city, this has been her anthem in the house. Reminding me of the friends I made that almost led me into drug dealing. And when the police got involved, they tagged me along with them. We had to move into a new city with my mum. But my mum doesn't seem to understand that I have gotten rid of the bad energy and friends, I won't repeat the same mistakes again. I looked at her sulking.
"Mum I have heard it like a billion times, my ears hurt already" I tried to hide the fact that I was hurt by what she said . I were on the inside not your ears.
" If you say so, honey." She smiled, chewing on her food, and I rolled my eyes.
"Mum you said that yesterday, but you're repeating it today" I suddenly lost my interest in eating, I just wanted to get away from her, from everything I just needed fresh air.
I stood up grabbing my bag. I kissed her cheeks, she stared at me in surprise, before she could say anything else, I already left the house.
I know she's concerned about my well-being but it's hurting me every day.
Likewise, I stopped a taxi, but he looked at me and zoomed off.
Not only that, but I growled and kicked the air. "Some idiots still exist in this world" not long before I entered another taxi. He was staring at me through the rare mirror. I noticed it but pretended like I didn't.
I actually forgot I have long Ash hair, which made me look like a witch. Guess that's why the first taxi zoomed off like he saw a ghost.
I actually used to dye it in my previous school.
The dye usually washes off after two weeks, and it's annoying. I rolled my eyes looking through the window. I want to be alone, and the driver isn't making that happen with that look.
I came across a traffic jam, "gosh what is this" . The cars blew their horns like it's some kind of Human force causing it. I have to find out what this human force is before we spend the night here. I got down from the car, walking forward not without the wired glares from the public . I saw the crowd surrounding two people. But they definitely gave them their space.
It looks like an old man was being bullied by a teenager boy. What the f*ck, who is that son of a b!tch . I angrily walked to where the mob, that's where I heard what they were saying.
"I didn't steal your wallet, please, I'm just an old man." The old man pleaded, but the idiot didn't let him go. He was determined to get his stupid wallet, I couldn't see their faces clearly, and he's determined to get that wallet from the old man .
I forced my way through the mob, then you saw his face clearly, he's the pure definition of beauty. From he's black hair to his square shoulders, his deep red lips.
"Hello, how can I help you?" His voice brought you back to reality and I rolled my eyes.
" I can't let you bully this old man, you arrogant brat. '' I poked him in the chest and the crowd gasped, guessing he was bullying them too.
"My dear, he accused me of stealing. How can I do that can of thing my dear, " tears dropped from his eyes and I glared at the boy. " Beauty and arrogant, how disgusting" .
He smirked like a devil in a play.
"See whatever you call yourself he's clearly not with your money, please carry your arrogance and get out" I spat out he disgusts me right I just want to stone him, but I'm afraid I might get arrested.
" Am gonna count until five, bring out the money or there will be consequences'' he started counting. The old man was now shaking. He raised her hands and I looked around. That's when I saw two guards approach us, and they started searching for the old man.
"What.....what the hell are you doing ?" I started holding the guards against searching for the old man, but of course, they were way stronger than I was . Suddenly, one of their hands paused at the man's pants, bringing out the wallet from the old man's pocket. And I nearly lost my breath. " This is the last time I will interfere in someone's business again ".
I mean, how did this old man actually steal. I averted my gaze to the boy and he has a victory look on his face which I actually want to slap off his face.
"Young lady, you can't come here jumping to conclusions, or interfering in matters that clearly don't concern you. " He looked at me smirking, and he's clearly mocking me . I mean it wasn't my fault in the first place, who will actually doubt an old man of stealing.
I looked at the old man who was now on his knees begging me to save him from the teenager boy. But that's not happening. I have had enough of interfering today. They should settle it among themselves.
I scurried away from the crowd, running into the taxi. The curious glares they gave me. I knew I could have used my dye, but my mum said I should be natural in this my new school blah blah. I will get new friends who will like me for who iam , she says. But I know I will be lonely for a very long time. I got into the taxi, and I could see the smile on the driver's face, guess he watched the whole drama too.
" Young lady, you shouldn't have interfered." I could sense the mockery in his voice.
"I know I'm just doing my humanity jobs." I rolled my eyes. I don't know if that actually made sense, but humans are really annoying. Furthermore, I can't actually stand any of them , always criticizing their fellow humans.
He stopped at a big structural building that I could swear several times that's not a school.
" Ma'am, we are here already, get out." He seemed impatient, admiring the building while still in the car. I Got down paying my fare.
The school was ten times bigger than my former school. The name CLIFFORD HIGH SCHOOL was imprinted in gold and a Golden Statue of students reading books.
No offense, but where did mum get the money to send me to this kind of expensive school. I know we aren't rich. My parents divorced, and my mum got custody of me . And she's been struggling to manage everything, and then this? .
Lewis pro.
After the strange girl left . I turned to the man who was already shivering, but no one steals from me and got away with it. If he wanted money, I would have given him but stealing it, no way.
I faced my guards and they bowed.
"Take this old man home, he has to do the servant duties, tell them they are on a week off. This man can take care of the household cleaning for a week, " I stared at the man. He looked poorly dressed, he looked old, even older than my dad.
"Sir, please forgive me. I was hungry, and I didn't have any money." He begged with his hands together kneeling, but it's too late, I don't go back on my word. And that girl she's definitely not going to escape from me, certainly not.
" Don't worry while you work you will be fed, that's your punishment" I turned to the guards.
"Make sure he finishes all the work" I put on my shades and am actually late for school. I came here to buy some stationery and this occurred.
" Out of my way" I yelled, and the part was cleared for me. I walked into my car and zoomed while my guards took the old man home.
Clara #
You sighted a group of students walking into the school.
"Ummm, can you tell me where the principal's office is? " I nervously walked up to them and they giggled. Sizing their eyes on me .
" Loser " They giggled, walking off. I cursed under my breath, a stupid set of people.
" Where the Hall is the principal's office" I looked around the compound. It was breathtaking, but the students here are rude. Of course, rich kids go to school.
I looked around , I couldn't find a single soul that could help me, I am going home , I turned around but bumped into a girl and her books fell.
"Sorry" I bent to pick it up. She fixed her glasses properly, guessing she is a nerd, and you know what that means .....
"Looks like Lilly has found a friend." a student said a few meters away from us. Yep, bullying from insecure students who are too lazy to read their books. But spend all day playing video games and tick locking all day.
I picked her books and gave it back to her, and she smiled at me, and I scratched the back of your hair revealing my flat belly. Yeah, the top was cropped and white with a red mini skirt and long socks and black heels to match .
"No prob, guess you're a new student ?" She actually had the sweetest smile I had ever seen, showing her innocence through the smile.
"Am actually looking for the principal's office. '' I am grateful I actually found help, or I would have just gone home.
" Take that path to your right, that's her office." She smiled, walking away.
"Thanks" I said after her.
"No prob," she yelled back, and I smiled finally. And just when I was about to walk inside, someone yanked my hair.
"No prob" she yelled back and I smiled finally . And just when I was about to walk inside someone yanked my hair .
I winced in pain holding my hair .
" Who in the world has this kind of hair texture? '' I heard a voice behind me . I thought bullying was for local schools but guess bullying is here too .
"None of your business f00l " I poked my two fingers into her nose and she screamed . She tried hitting me but I caught her hand bending it so that her back faced me .
"If you think you can bully me, think twice, get it " I tighten my grip and she screams .
Suddenly a woman pulled us apart. She was in a suit , she wore light make-up .
"You two to my office now , Clara you are new here so i will show you the way to my office " She pointed"No prob" she yelled back and I smiled finally . And just when I was about to walk inside someone yanked my hair .
I winced in pain holding my hair .
" Who in the world has this kind of hair texture? '' I heard a voice behind me . I thought bullying was for local schools but guess bullying is here too .
"None of your business f00l " I poked my two fingers into her nose and she screamed . She tried hitting me but I caught her hand bending it that her back faced me .
"If you think you can bully me thick twice got it " I tighten my grip and she screams .
Suddenly a woman pulled us apart. She was in a suit , she wore light make-up .
"You two to my office now , Clara you are new here so i will show you the way to my office " She pointed the way for me to start walking . How does she know my name? We headed to the direction . The girl showed me earlier , guess she's the principal . She found me instead .
"Take your seats ," she gestured to us. The girl was glaring at me , but that's none of my business .I sat crossing my leg .
" Chole , have you been bullying other students ?" She wore her glasses well ,she wasn't middle aged . Like other principals , but she was young . That b!cth she stepped on my toe . I groaned under my breath . She has been punished for bullying and here she won't stop .
" Chloe you are under suspension for two weeks " She brought out a suspension letter and gave it to her .
" What!" She screamed standing up and turned to me but I eyed her , she can't blame this on me .
" She pinned me to herself , didn't you see that she wanted to rip my arm off , and she gets no suspension " I rolled my eyes ,she has created more drama than she should .
"Nice try Chole but isn't gonna work for you ." the principal smiled and she scoffed .
"F*CK you b!tch " she cursed under her breath .
" That's three weeks ,"it looks like the principal was enjoying suspending her . Well the b!tch deserves it anyway . She gave me a middle finger and I pulled out my tongue at her .
" You can leave now Chole . " The principal pointed to the door and she murmured some few words before leaving . That's my first enemy and I won't see her for a while , we might forget that we saw each other .
" Clara, you haven't started school yet and you are already engaging in fights." she looked at me disappointed , with the way she looks at me i'm guessing she knows my mum .
"My dear, your mum told me what happened at your old school ." She looked at me with concern and I looked down in embarrassment . My mum didn't have to . I know she really cares for me but she's taking things way too far .
" I won't let you fall into trouble again. ``Wow, another mum in school . I thought I would get away from my mum at home and now another one is here at school . I sighed looking at her talking about her school orientations and the rules of the school . This is way worse . My morning was ruined by that arrogant boy and now this. She just kept on talking about the history of the school who sponsored it blah blah . My ears hurt from all her blabbing but I had to sit here pretending to enjoy it .
" Alright that's all I have to say , " She smiled and I stood up and I was tired of listening to her . I have to get out of here before anything else crawls into her mind .
" Thanks ma'am I really appreciate it . " I smiled, grabbing my bag.
" Clara ," She said behind me as I wanted to open the door . Oh no I can't take it. I might snap if I stay here for another minute .
" Your class is down the hallway , I have spoken to your teacher already ." She opened the documents on her table and began signing them .
" Thanks ." I said under my breath and she smiled. I closed the door behind me . Walking down the hall .
I am now nervous , what will my new class be like ? Will I be able to make new friends ?
My heart beat harder as I approached the class . I could hear a female voice . Holding onto my backpack I walked into the class and all attention was instantly drawn to me . I made a straight face to show I am not scared at all .
The teacher, seeing that the attention of the students was drawn away from her, she turned to the direction they faced .
" Oh you must be Clara , the principal already told me you were coming ." I swallowed and walked into the class , the tension was so strong. The teacher gesture me to stand next to her .
" Class this is Clara, a new student.Please don't hurt her or bully her " the teacher said with a smile, looking at everyone .I caught a group of students . Laughing at what the teacher said .
" Clara, you can sit over there, " she pointed at two empty seats . Well I will be alone, I won't have any seat mates now . I walked slowly to my new seat taking out all my things .
When I heard gasps I raised my head to look up . It was that arrogant brat . I looked at him shocked then he smirked .
Oh no!
Lord what is this !
