The Odd Troublemaker : Miracle At 17

Chapter Seven

[CHAPTER SEVEN

Lost]

[SIENNA'S POINT OF VIEW]

I raised the green pendant enclosed around my neck and let the sunlight pass through it. It released a pretty green and a faint blue, creating a swirl of fantasy colours.

I sat up from my sprawled position on the rooftop and eyed the people below. My eyes followed the girl who was my friend for a short while, Iris Vilan. I would've never imagined for a bubbly, innocent girl to betray without batting an eye as she joined her friends in beating me up.

There was the route of confronting her why she did that but I was just tired and though it affected me, I'll just let what I thought was our friendship turn to ash.

At the other side of the field was Cedrick Hughes, the famous playboy who became my partner in jokes and causing trouble but we grew apart. I don't think fixing our relationship was impossible though. I chose to believe Iris over him and I knew I had hurt him deeply because of that.

I saw Cedrick clapping hands with his teammates, probably off to the locker rooms or to wash his face.

This is my chance.

I left the rooftop, long losing the lazy mood since the sun had decided to shade the whole area with gold. When I reached the stairs, my speed was beyond running. I basically bumped into each person who blocked my way and as much as they wanted to hit me, I was the troublemaker. Who dare make trouble with me? None.

I round up the corner and saw Cedrick washing his face like I expected. My steps slowed down and I was hesitating on approaching him.

In the midst of my inner battle, a girl from his class approached him and handed him a face towel. They were talking animatedly and if I looked at them at a certain angle, there seemed to be not that much between them at all. They could embrace whenever they want but I had no time to observe his love life.

I left the wall that I was hiding from, came out to the light and showed my face to the girl with a glare.

I believed my reputation and eyes could do the trick and it did.

She muttered something to him in a nervous face and scurried away.

He noticed something wrong and turned around and then our eyes met. Sadly, he looked away.

"What do you want, Miracle?" He coldly asked.

Ouch.

He acted like a child, a baby even. Is he really going to take this sulking at this level? At the cost of our friendship?

But I knew it was my fault so I pushed my complaints down and inhaled a deep breathe,

"Cedrick, I-"

"I need to go." He harrumphed and left without care.

After that I tried to talk to him in every chance that I can, I even cut class though I still would even if we fought or not.

I tried to be patient when in the first place; I had none so right after the last subject. I caught him practicing with his soccer ball when I barged in with a serious face and punched him square in the jaw.

He landed on his butt and he looked up, shock.

"Either you talk to me or I force it out of you!"

In summary, we ended up at the headmaster's office because of that but he was out so we fell under the authority of the student council president, Viktor Blaz Wisdom – the narcissist. He wore the uniform this time and his hair was gelled into perfection again.

"So...what brings you for discipline again Ms Miracle?" He let out one of his one million dollar smile.

I answered with an awkward smile.

"Let's get it straight to the point, suspension?" Cedrick impatiently asked.

"Considering this is your fist time then a warning. Go now and get your face treated, Mr Hughes," Cedrick left and I felt guilty when I saw his busted lip and bruised cheek.

"As for you, Ms Miracle, this isn't your first time so go clean the toilet on the third floor."

Once Cedrick was gone, I let go of my repenting girl façade.

"Who gave you the right, Mr...Wisdom?" I completed after a quick look at his nameplate on the table.

"I am the president-"

"So?" I cockily asked.

"Your so called Uncle is my Grandfather." He looked at me with a bored look.

"Ha! Nice try...wait what?" My jaw opened, inviting all wondering flies to go inside.

He chuckled.

"Go now Sienna, the toilet on the third floor is the easiest one to clean."

I closed the door behind me. Cedrick was beside the wall, standing.

"Were you waiting for me?"

"You and Wisdom were friends?" he asked.

Friends? I wouldn't call it that but that was the closest term.

"Yeah, Cedrick I know-"

"Do you know your wrong?"

I eyed him.

"I just...I thought we were friends...I thought there were trust between us. Just...give me space."

If it was the old me, I would've barked about how over reacting he was but right now, I gave him a smile as he left and decided to forget this stupid guy.

As I pushed the thought of Cedrick aside, I thought of Viktor and winced when I realized that all this time, I was acting close with his uncle.

Maybe that's why he is by the side of the headmaster every time I was sent to the office.

From this day onwards, I grew further and further apart from Iris and Cedrick until I spent my days alone, went home alone and if this continues I'd die alone, I mused.

That's what I expected but somehow, Viktor and I became friends. We slowly got to know each other and our bickering was still there but the hate was gone. Still, his narcissism was annoying.
