CHAPTER 2

Going up the stairs since the elevator is only used for emergency purposes and for teachers, I would have used it on a normal day, but since this is my first day in this school, I do not want to cause any type of trouble or troubles.

Since I take self defense classes and I work out a lot, taking the stairs was not really tiring, but it’s not something to look forward to early in the morning or if you’re late for class.

“Hey, move it, you’re not the only one taking the stairs” a dude churlishly tells me

“Why don’t you fucking fly, don’t fucking rush me asshat” I tell him, getting annoyed with the way some stranger is speaking to me.

“you should also move out of the way, a lot of people have somewhere to go” he tells me

“then you should have come earlier, or you should fucking take the elevator darling” I tell him, now facing the dickhead that has been speaking.

“Just move” he says on getting to the second floor which I believe would be for the sophomores.

I move climb the rest of the stairs quickly still thinking about how some people can be very annoying early in the morning. I rushed quickly into the elevator. I am late which is also can be counted as an emergency, and I am new, I will just use that excuse.

“hey, don’t you know this elevator is not to be used by students” a tall handsome guy tells me, even though he is a student.

“Are you also not a student?” I ask him, rolling my eyes at him. How can he be condemning me if he is doing exactly same thing.

“as you can see, I am the Student’s Council President” he tells me, pointing to the badge on his shirt and acting like he has made a great achievement in life.

“oh, I didn’t notice, but as far as I know, you’re still a student, whatever gives you the right to use the elevator also gives me the right to use it” I tell him, getting irritated.

Seems like people really want to get on my nerve on my first day, and I won’t want to cause trouble on my first day.

“Hey, relax, I was just joking, I’m just a junior” he tells me, chuckling at the same time.

“Uhn uhn”

“Even though this is a big school, I noticed how unfamiliar you are so I decided to mess with you, not that I am saying I know everyone, but I just tried it” he tells me, still chuckling.

“uhn uhn”

“My name is Damian, and this badge is just from somewhere I can’t remember” he tells me, pointing at the badge he mentioned before.

“Uhn uhn”

When I am met with silence, I looked at him to see him looking at me expectantly, like telling me to return the gesture or energy.

“Ash, my name is Ash” I answer him, refusing to say anything further from that

I exit the elevator as it stops at the 4th floor, only to notice that Daniel or Dam—whatever his name is also coming out of the elevator.

I am not going to ask him because it isn’t any of my business what he is up to, but in anything he is doing, I am not to be messed with.

Rushing to get to the School admin’s office, I bumped into a guy, like 6ft 4, not bothering myself with it since it is an hallway, things like this can happen sometimes.

People start whispering, like when a girl hits a celebrity, how people whisper and murmur, but this is not with jealousy or envy, it is with pity.

“seems like she is new”

“why couldn’t she just watch where she was going”

“she is dead, so dead”

“Oli will skin her alive”

Who is Oli? And how does me hitting someone certify my death.

“Don’t you watch where you go?” someone’s hand grabs my arm as I am trying to leave to get my schedule.

‘It is when you’ve decided to not cause trouble, that is the exact time some shithead will want you to make one’ I tell myself, thinking.

“Are you calling me a shithead” he asks me, well I didn’t mean to think that aloud, but if he heard it, best of luck.

“Since you are annoying me right now, so I would like to think so” I tell him, forcefully removing his hand from my arm since he is still grabbing me, forcefully.

“did she just say that”

“seems like she has written her will”

“Oh burn”

“I don’t want to see how this will go”

“Are you talking to me right now” he asks me

How dumb or deaf can someone be, we are the only ones in a clash right now, and he is still asking such type of dumb of question, which makes me question his IQ

“Are you deaf or you’re pretending to be deaf?” I ask him, ‘cause he seems to be the only person who didn’t hear me

“Oh shit”

“She really has a death wish now”

“Oh how I love how this is going”

People in the hallway seems to be more invested in what is going on between me and this shithead than preparing to go to class, and some have come out of their classes to be spectators

“Are you seriously speaking with me?” he asks me, reaching to grab my arm again which I dodged. He seems surprised that someone is speaking to him like that.

He looks like a bully which annoys me more and more, and the type of people I hate the most are bullies, liars and betrayers.

“Or is it that your IQ is so low you can’t understand what I am saying” I ask him, looking at him while blinking my eyes to state my point.

“She really wants to be dead”

“Who the fuck do --” he starts, raising his voice with each word before a teacher interrupts him.

Seems like it is time for lessons, and this guy just delayed me.

“What is going on here? why are you all outside? Don’t you have classes?” the teacher fires questions at us, which prompts everyone to disperse to their classes.

“Hey, you seem like you’re new, are you going to the Admin’s office?” he asks me

“Yes”

“It is the last door by your left at the end of the hallway” he tells me

As I was about going he holds me back to warn me about staring trouble for my first day at school

He leaves, and I notice that Oli or whatever name he is called is no longer around, seems like he had run with his tail tucked between his legs when he saw the teacher, maybe he is not as tough as he looks

“Thanks Teach” I tell him, appreciating him before going to the Admin’s office to sort out my stuffs.
