Chapter Four

The second girl’s veins throbbed wildly against her forehead at Sia’s insult. Sia glanced at the security guards who were watching them with apprehension. The students had burst into laughter when Sia had called her dumb and it was funnier because she was always ranked in the last 50 students in their set. The thought annoyed but Sia was not bothered.

“I have no business with you so stay out of my lane” Sia finished before turning and walking towards the school gates.

No one knew what had gotten into the second girl as she rushed towards Sia grabbing her bag and turning her around to give her a slap but it seemed as if Sia had seen it coming because by the time the girl turned Sia around to slap her, she was the one who got a fist to her face. She staggered backwards screaming on top of her voice while holding her bloody probably broken nose. Her friends seeing the scene also rushed towards Sia who now had a huge frown on her face. She was quick to grab the first girl who rushed towards and pushed her into the incoming one. The two girls gave out a yell and fell backwards from their collision.

Sia groaned as she felt her hair been pulled all of a sudden. Her perfect hair?!

Anger welled up in her as she immediately shot out her leg towards the latter kicking her in the stomach and immediately sending her meters away from her.

“How dare you touch my hair?” Sia yelled at the girl while everyone stared in surprise at the turn of events. All the girls laid on the floor groaning with pain while Sia chuckled. She all long wanted to beat them and teach them a lesson but she had withheld the urge and avoided them and just at the last moment, they had sent themselves to her door. Darting another glance at the girls on the floor, Sia bent to pick up her school bag before walking towards the school gates. The security guards stared at in terror as they quickly opened the gates and Sia walked inside. After walking few meters, she suddenly turned to one fo the security guards who jumped backwards while raising his hands in the air.

“I didn’t say anything!” he yelled and Sia stared at him with a blank face before turning to the other one.

“Where’s the Principal’s office?” she asked.

An hour and ten minutes later; Sia breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the Principal’s office; she had no idea that all Principals were this chatty, public and private. They asked questions and answered it themselves, they talked about their careers and family and every other thing that Sia neither cared about nor remembered about. Luckily for her, her class teacher had come to her rescue.

“Didn’t you see my calls?” the petite woman asked and Sia turned to her before shaking her head.

“I didn’t get access to my phone until this morning” Sia replied honestly and the woman stared at Sia in surprise.

“You lost your phone?” she asked.

“I forgot it in my school bag for a few days and I didn’t realize it went missing” Sia replied noticing the way the students poked their heads out of the windows to stare at her. The woman stopped in her tracks and stared at Sia like she had grown three heads.

“Is there a problem?” Sia asked with her eyebrow raised and the woman laughed lightly.

“Not at all. You can address me as Caroline” the woman said and Sia nodded her head as they stopped in front of a class whose noise made her frown. They were indeed noisy and loud but compared to the screams and yells at the underground boxing arena, it was nothing.

They walked into the class and Caroline walked to the podium banging on the table with helpless written all over her face. The class finally went silent and everyone turned to the both of them.

“You have a new classmate and I hope you will treat her well” Caroline started turning to Sia.

“Why don’t you introduce yourself?” she asked.

“My name is Sia” Sia replied and the smile on Caroline’s face stiffened. Was that the end of her introduction?

“So guys, meet Sia and she’s going to be your classmate from now on” Caroline said trying to ease the awkwardness in the air.

“Sam?” she called and a girl shot up to her feet chewing and smacking gum.

“I told you chewing gums are prohibited in the class” Caroline bellowed and Sam nodded her head.

“Oh” she muttered blowing a bubble. Caroline stared at her choosing to save her spit.

“Why don’t you show Sia around? Help her out with the process” Caroline suggested and Sam turned to Sia meeting the other’s blank face.

“That’s fine” she replied before seating down.

“Don’t forget to be nice and warm to your new classmate” Caroline said and the class immediately resumed it noisy status. But she indeed knew that she didn’t need to remind them to be nice to Sia, the fact she had beaten a number of girls on her first girl had gone round the school already. Getting on her nerves was equivalent to landing in the school clinic. She wasn’t really big on explaining to the Principal why half of the students in her class were in the clinic.

Knowing how mischievous her students were; she had to remind them to stay clear of her lane. It was safer to even avoid her. She then turned to Sia wearing a smile on her face.

“There are a lot of empty spaces at the back, feel free to pick any seat” she said and Sia nodded her head perfunctorily at her before walking to the far end of the class.

She didn’t need a soothsayer to tell her that the class she had been placed was the class of the most notorious yet rich students. They did whatever they liked and violated the school rules but the school could neither lay a hand on them or do anything to them at all.

She placed her bag on an empty seat and sat down placing her head on the table. She really didn’t care wherever they placed her; it didn’t make a difference to her. She made herself comfortable on the table while glancing round the class. there was a clear difference a private school and a public school staring back at her in the face.

It was the class of the most notorious students but the equipment’s and quality of materials in the class was not in the least lacking. She closed her eyes trying to get some sleep. The god of Sleep didn’t need to make an appointment with her, she was going to go over anyways.
