LEISURE HOUR
- Miranda's POV
"She's brilliant and I'm gonna be friends with her", I said while updating my note
"Ain't you done? It's leisure time", Pamela, my seatmate said to me
"Nah I'm not, I would want to be friends with Rhea", I said pointing towards her direction
"Really?"
"Yes, I think she's brilliant"
"Whatever, but just so you know, I don't like her, she feels...."
"She feels what! You know what, I'm not going to be sitting here with you any longer. YOU SUCK", I said cutting her off as I stood up, packing my backpack and notes to leave the seat
"Where are you going to?" she asked with a commanding tone
"There and there's nothing you can do about it", I said and left

"So how old are you?" I asked
"Well, I'm nineteen"
"Wow, you're younger than I expected ", I said with a smiling face
"What about you?" she asked
"I'm twenty"
"You're just a year older than me ", Rhea replied while laughing
"Yeah"
"Here, by the way, I'm done", she said handing me my copy of stadï two vi timetable
"You're welcome, come let's walk around the school", I said as we both stood up and left the classroom
"Wow, the school is huge", she said
"Yeah, it's very huge. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. Look over there ", I said pointing at the wide field
"Wow, that's lovely"
"Yes, that section is for the football and volleyball players", I replied as we continued walking
"That's our huge cafeteria. Come let's go grab something "
"Ok then "
As we got to the cafe, I went to the coffee section to purchase a cup of cappuccino but it was too crowded. So, I and Rhea stood out of the crowd, sitting down at the reception part of the cafe.
"So tell me about the school"
"What exactly?"
"About the courses and the classes"
"Weren't you told about all this before registering into this Highschool?" I asked
"Well, I'm a transferee
Also when I went to meet the supervisor for my class, I didn't bother to ask about other courses, I just went ahead to register for my course and I was told to move to stadï two vi"
"Wow, okay let me try", I said as I breathe in and out continuously
"Stadï two is like a second year. We have stadï one to stadï five because there are art courses that takes up to five years"
"So what about the arms?"
"The arms are like a division. For example, students who want to study philosophy, logic and mythology are in stadï two I, courses like theology, literature and folklore are for arm II, courses like genealogy and biography are for arm III, courses like finance and commerce are for arm IV, courses like....", I drifted off in my speech 'cause I noticed her eyes were staring longly at something
"What's it?" I asked
"Do you know anything about them?" she asked, pointing at Shawn and his group
"Yeah, I know that they are friends"
"FRIENDS!", she exclaimed as she stared at me
"Anything wrong?"
"What are their names?"
"Shawn Paxton is friends to Dock Xavier and Katherine Pierce"
"Are they in stadï two?"
"Yes"
"You know their arms?"
"Nah, but why that shocked expression "
"I'm sorry of o might have scared you but there's something about that Xavier guy", she responded
WHAT'S WRONG?
"What's it that's wrong with him?"
"Today as I was coming out of the school library, Kirk and his fellow bully tried to bully me but I was saved by that Xavier guy. He yelled at them and suddenly, his...", she trailed off in her speech as they had moved over to where we were seated.
