Chapter 12: An Attention Seeker

1086 Words
Brielle’s POV I woke up early in the morning, feeling excited and energized for the day ahead. It was odd with the fact I had trouble sleeping the previous night, but I couldn't wait to go to school and attend my classes, ignore everyone, do my thing, and come back home. I hummed a tune as I got out of bed and prepared myself for the day. I quickly got dressed, put on my favorite perfume, and looked at myself in the mirror with a smile. I felt happy, confident, and ready to face the day. When I arrived at school, I saw everyone busy on their locker and I went over to grab my books, at the same time, Laura approached me and waved jokingly at me, I didn’t know when I smiled. “It seems we have the same class this morning,” Laura said and I shrugged “Okay” I replied “You don’t trust me right?” she suddenly asked out of the blues and I didn’t know how to reply to that, I kept quiet my lips in a thin line “I mean well Brielle, I won’t do anything to hurt you,” She said and I nodded “Let’s go to class, I am rather in a great mood today,” I said chuckling, We made our way to our first class, the class was rather boring, and I almost lost the excitement I felt when coming to school, I noticed Laura was rather very concentrated, she hasn’t for once spare me any glance, and she was busy jotting down some notes The class finally came to an end, and we came out of the class, “How did you do it?” I asked. “Do what?” she asked innocently “Concentrate in that man’s class, I was bored to death and I almost fell asleep,” I said and Laura chuckled “It wasn’t that hard to concentrate though, I love learning new things even if the teacher is boring” she replied and winked at me, and we started walking to our lockers to drop some books before our next class. “Guess who found a new bestie?!” I suddenly heard Hayley’s loud and annoying voice. She was wearing a short, tight-fitting, low-cut dress that barely covered her thighs. It was not only uncomfortable from the look but also did not meet the school's dress code policy. She looks like she derives joy from students watching her, and I came to the conclusion, Hayley is an attention seeker. Laura and I ignored her, and we continued doing what we were doing until she suddenly places her hand on my shoulder, and I was shocked to see Laura slap her hand away, everyone in the hallway gasped and Laura folded her hands standing akimbo “How dare you!!” Hayley screeched so loudly that I had to cover my ears with my hand. “Just stop Hayley, it’s not fun anymore and it's just obvious you love attention and seek it in any inappropriate way, don’t you have any ounce of shame left you and there are some things you shouldn’t do?” Laura said her voice very calm, she wasn’t screeching like Hayley who looked like her boobs will be falling off her tiny top soon. “Just because you are one of the best students in the school doesn’t mean you can talk the way you want, the pixies won’t let you go score free,” Cherry said and there was a hint of amusement in Laura's face “Oh, I forgot! The Pixies, a group of Barbie dolls with an empty brains. Can you solve math? Do you know calculus? Can you tell me what is the meaning of partial derivation? Of course, you can’t because you are so focused on your looks you forget to work on your brain and manners” Laura said, shocking the whole students once again, and I was speechless. I never knew Laura was the kind of person to give savage replies with a low and calm voice, she looked unbothered while Hayley was about to explode. Hayley went closer to her and landed a heavy slap on her face, which shocked me. I quickly moved in reflex to defend her and Cherry grabbed my hair, I screamed but my screaming was short-lived when the hall suddenly became quiet and Liam stepped in, his eyes darted between Cherry’s hand on my hair and on her face, giving her a disapproving look, Cherry let go of my hair immediately and I breathe out haggardly “We need to talk,” Liam said and started moving away, I looked between the girls and Laura gave me a sign of go-ahead, and I did, the fight dissolved quickly, and I tilted my head to see Laura picking up her books and Hayley and her minions storming away. At least they are scared of the Torres brothers. We stepped out of the hall and I saw Owen and Finn, their eyes landed on me and I felt some tingling feeling, I always feel that when I look at Liam and Finn “Hey! What’s up?” I asked, my eyes darting across the two of them. “You are supposed to be our tutor, but we haven’t heard from you,” Finn said, and I rolled my eyes “You could have called,” I said, and they raised their brows at me, “whatever means possible” I added quickly “Well, that is in the past, how are we going to meet now?” Owen asked. “School compound?” I asked. “No!” they replied simultaneously “Can we come over to your place?” Liam asked, and I thought about it, I don’t think it will be a good idea to have them over after, my dad specifically warned me not to have any visitors over. “No!” I quickly stated, and they gave me a suspicious look, I licked my lips and smiled warily “I will come over to your place if that is okay with you” I said, and they looked at each other. “Well that will be great, see you after school,” Finn said and they walked away. I sigh deeply thinking about what I just put myself in. The thought of Laura being slapped consumed me and I rush back inside to look for her.
