The Arrogant Slave

PRINCE KLAXIRA

We arrived in Keynes Private Academy. Every student inside turned their heads at us and their eyes were filled with curiosity when they saw me walking with the Student Council Officers.

"Good morning, Students!" The Officers greeted them in chorus.

"Good morning, Officers!"

I'm still not f*****g use to this s**t. They are too obedient which makes me feel different than the rest of them. The school and students are systematic like robotic androids.

"Proceed to your first period now, Mr. Cortez." Vice President seriously said that made me nod my head and followed what she said. I glance at them and it got me confuse when she's heading towards the Staff Building along with the other officers.

What are their grade-levels again?

.

I went inside our classroom and just expected, everyone is talking to each other when the lecturer hasn't arrived yet.

"Zero," before I can even sat, someone called my name that made me froze. A guy classmate of mine is walking towards me with a smirk on his face.

"Yeah?"

"My name's Prince Klaxira," he extended his arms and I accepted it without hesitation.

"Zero Cortez." We both sat in our seats.

"What's with you and the Student Council?"

"I-i'm a slave." I was quite hesitant to tell him the truth, but I guess there is nothing to hide.

"Seriously?"

"Why do you sound so surprised? Does anyone had ever broke the rule?" My forehead creased.

"Nah. It's just so rare for someone to pick the slave in the Wheels of Laws. A maximum of three students are punished per year."

"Have you broke the rule?" I asked. I'm just so surprised that he knows about the Wheels of Laws.

"No, I haven't and I surely won't," he chuckled before looking down. He's blonde and has a face that says, I'm happy with my life.

"This school is pretty weird." I said and he instantly looked at me before letting out a laugh.

"You'll get use to it. You're just a transferee and still making some adjustments. Soon, you'll experience the fun parts."

This is the very first time that I ever got a proper conversation with someone after the tragedy happened.

"Fun parts?"

"Don't wanna be a spoiler, dude. If you really want to know, then stay out of trouble," he stood up and went back to his original seat. He's seated on the middle row.

Fun part? I guess there are lots of things in this school than meets the eye.

"It's vacant. Do you have somewhere to go?" Prince approached when I was about to leave the room.

"Yeah. I need to go to the SC Office. I'm a slave remember?" He winced.

"Yeah. I'm looking forward to have a chat with you." I saw him wave his hand but I immediately turned around before started walking.

I looked around the campus and same as usual, dull and plain. I don't think I will ever get use to it. It's so peaceful, how can I ever be happy?

After three consecutive knocks, the door finally opened. A girl with a braided hair and huge eyes opened the doors for me.

I went in and I saw Vice sitting in front of a long table. A group of students are standing around the table, they are standing straightly and unconsciously staring at the air.

"Vice President," I called her and even if she didn't glance at me, she knows that i'm here.

"So they are also an officer?" I asked and glance at the students that are forcing theirselves not to look at us.

"They are scholars. In exchange for their full scholarship, they need to serve the Student Council," she answered expressionlessly before crossing her legs.

"What should I do now?"

"You can take a nap," she whispered in a very low voice that I couldn't even see her lips moving.

No one made a noise, no one talked. Too much boredom made me rest my head on the table and slowly closed my eyes.

Is this my punishment of being a slave? Boredom for me, is the worse punishment. Much even worse than cleaning a public toilet.

I quickly rose and opened my eyes when I suddenly felt someone kicked me. I looked at Vice President when I know it was her.

"Mr. Cortez, please get me some water," she strictly ordered me while pointing at the mini kitchen inside the office.

Now I know why…

The other Officers went inside and anyone could notice their weird and dangerous aura.

I took a glass and after it was filled with water, I slowly walked towards Vice President. Before I can even put it on the table, Vice President sway it that made the glass shattered all over the floor.

"Sorry, I didn't mean it. Clean it for me," she coldly said. She was staring straightly at the wall and didn't even bother to tip me a gaze.

Instead of getting piss, I was confused by her attitude. When we're alone, she's so gentle, kind, understanding, down-to-earth, and thoughtful. Is this all just for a show?

I confusedly looked at them and caught all the Officers smirking at me.

"Damn, Vice President. I rather get my ass kicked out of this school than being your slave." Treasurer said before crossing his arms.

"I'm just giving him something he deserves."

My forehead creased as I clean up all the mess. I'm thankful I didn't got any wound from the broken glass. I never imagine in my entire life to be a slave, cleaning the god damn floor.

They began talking about the school's upcoming event, but my mind is filled with tons of questions to even pay attention to what they're talking. Her actions are like riddles to me. Unpredictable that I couldn't point out her real reason.

"Mr. Cortez, wait for me in the field after dismissal," she said before leaving the office.

I was left dumb-founded until I felt someone tap my shoulder.

"I hope you would survive being with her." Secretary whispered on my left ear that followed with a frightening laugh that brought goosebumps to me.
