CHAPTER 3: THE FIRST ENCOUNTER!

Emily’s POV:

Those four students, all in black elegant dressing, turned around to see me. I looked at them and gulped, adoring how handsome and stunning those students were. The one on the front is hunky and drop dead gorgeous. He has chocolate brown hair and a warm fair skin with shining dark brown eyes. He is muscular and seemed strong. He is the most prepossessing man I have ever seen in my life. I couldn’t resist but look at him constantly.

“Talking to me?” The gorgeous one said. I wasn’t in my senses then and didn’t reply.

“Hello?” He said and waved his hand in front of me. I immediately looked up at him and blinked my eyes several times to get myself back to Earth.

“Um… Yeah? What?” I said anxiously.

“Were you saying something to me?” He said. His voice was masculine and deep.

“Um… Yeah. I am” I said nervously. Emily. Be confident. Or else what Oliver said will turn out to be true. Just don’t be scared. I thought in my mind.

“Ahan. I am listening” He said and crossed his arms against his chest, looking at me deeply. They didn’t seem freshers to me as they were quite old enough to be freshers but they were unfamiliar to me.

“Are you guys new here?” I asked.

“Yes. We are. So?” He asked. I made myself strong and confident, trying to overpower them.

“So… You must come with me. And I don’t want any arguments” I said, pretending to be confident but I was shit scared from the inside. The gorgeous one left his group and started walking towards me with his eyes locked on mine. I moved back slowly but then realized that I should be scared of him and stood there firmly. He came near me, making me restless.

“Or else?” He asked.

“Um… I – I” I breathed heavily and added, “Do not try to overpower me, okay? I am your senior and you must respect me” I said raising my voice a bit.

“Oh I see. I must obey you then, right?” He asked me looking into my eyes.

“But…” One of his friends from behind started. He raised his hand to stop him to speak anymore. I was surprised by the control he had over his friends but he couldn’t over power me and I was proud of that and of myself.

“Yes. You must” I said proudly, pushing my strand of hair back.

“What do you suggest we do?” He asked.

“Come to Gymnasium B - 1. Everybody from your class will be there” I said strictly.

“As you say” He said. Just raising my voice a little made him so polite and sweet. I can be brave and confident after all. I thought and felt proud of myself.

“Okay. B – 1, right now” I said, pointing my finger at him. He nodded, while looking at me. I turned around and made my way to gymnasium B – 1. B – 1 had two doors, one at the back and one in the front. I entered the room from the back and saw Melissa there.

“Hey, Mel” I said and waved at her. She waved back at me and I made my way through the students and to her.

“Hey, Em. I was looking for you” She said.

“Ah I just got busy you know” I said and smiled widely.

“Where? Naughty girl” She said and winked at me.

“Mel? Seriously? You know I have never dated a guy before and I am still single” I said in my defense.

“Just kidding. I know you. Tell me, where were you?” She asked.

“Grabbing some students, as Oliver said” I said proudly.

“Really? You did?” She asked in amusement.

“Of course I did. I needed to prove myself, Mel. And I did” I said proudly.

“Oh I love that confidence” She said and hugged me tightly. We both giggled.

“Where are those students?” She asked me. I turned around to look for them but couldn’t find them anywhere.

“They were… just following me. I guess…” I said in confusion.

“What? Didn’t you bring them along with you here?” Melissa asked.

“I didn’t tell them to follow me, I guess” I said and placed my hand on my forehead while moving my eye balls here and there, looking for them.

Just then I found them, entering inside the room from the front door along with some other freshers.

“Oh… There they are” I jumped up in excitement and pointed my finger to them.

“Oh I see. That’s great” Melissa said excitedly.

“Hey… I wanted to tell you something funny” Melissa said.

“What?” I asked. She was about to say something but Ryan came on the stage.

“As all of you are here… I must introduce myself to you all” Ryan said. Ryan is also one of my friends since grade 8.

“I am Ryan Cowper. One of your senior and most strict senior I must say” Ryan said and we all laughed. Ryan laughed out too.

“You know very well that you all must pay something to us to live your high school life in peace” Ryan said out loud and we seniors hooted.

“Now you must obey the ones who brought you here and do whatever they want you to do. Or else your high school life will be miserable for you. I am warning you that” Ryan said and smirked. We all hooted again.

“Seniors… Let’s have some fun” Ryan shouted, making us hoot all over again.

“What are you going to tell them to do?” I asked Melissa.

“I am going to um…” She began thinking.

“Hey, Mel, Em. Let’s roast the ones we brought here, together” Oliver jumped up and said.

“Ah… That would be nice. I can’t handle mine, easily” I said and sighed.

“Where are they?” Oliver asked me.

“In the front” I replied.

“Okay go forward. Be brave. Order them something. We’ll be behind you” Oliver said. I nodded and moved forward towards those four students. The gorgeous one was looking at me while I made my way towards them.

“So… I will tell you guys what to do” I said confidently. The gorgeous one was standing with his hands crossed against his chest leaning to the wall, looking at me. As I was about to say something, Oliver and Melissa came over running to me calling my name.

“What happened?” I whispered to Melissa as she came near me holding my shoulder and breathing heavily.

“What are you doing?” She whispered to me. I looked at her in confusion, therefore, she added, “They are not juniors, Em. He is Aiden Bryce, a billionaire’s son and a transferred senior from St. Peter’s High school” 

“What?” I looked at her in shock and then looked at Aiden with my eyes wide open…
