"Harder"

''Haven't you eaten your food today? BE HARDER "
Kick
" Do you want those girls to bully you again do you?? "
That his Amairah's nerve and memories of her being bullied by people came flashing in front of her eyes. Blood boiled and all she could see was red. She kicked and punched with all her strength until her anger calmed down.
"Good, never thought anger can get best of you" That was when she realised that Cassandra had gone quite.
Cassandra has been training Amairah to fight for herself since the past month. So far she has been doing great, not just great but far more than that as if they are instinctively in her veins just like stories in the mind of an author and they would need to ace in the skill of weaving the golden words to get it published she needed to ace in combat fighting skills to win the match. She also started to handle weapons - which she found while exploring Cassandra's house and insisted on teaching, but she agreed only for the use of knives in case anyone attacks her like the last time she was attacked by some goons of running for her father - and martial arts like jia jitsu, Taekwondo, karate, kung fu, wushu, judo. After a hella lot hard training she would use up her time to play video games and sometimes practice her coding skills. Computers always intrigued her.She remember she used to spend her whole time in front of her computer and the rest with her grandfather learning about mechanics while other children at her age would go outside and play.
Her grandfather also left her a few books about computer developments and coding as a form of memoir but the books were not easy to decode and read.
All his books were written in special code language. A language which his grandfather taught only her not even his son.
Her grandfather would always say her that human technology has flaws no matter how accurate they are which also made her father independent and uninterested in it.
After three hours of intense training Amairah is way more than exhausted but is dogged to take revenge from her mates which is not her only motive...
She went for a ride on her ducati after her two hours computing session. The most boring thing in computers was to read the books. The rest of the day went on a blur.
••••••
For the first time in Cassandra's life anyone asked for her to train. Though she found a tremendous talent in Amairah, she was doubtful about her, she has never seen a person who could double cross her.
No one ever dared to double cross the deadly claw but unknowingly she did. Lucky for her Cassandra didnt kill her on that very spot but Cassandra did have ulterior motives. And who would like to turn down such an asset.
Smiling to herself she walked towards her cabin

" Amairah get ready its your first day to school " Her mother yelled at her.
" Ya ya coming mom " Amairah shouted back.
As soon as she came with her books, wearing baggy outfits and specs with a plain pony tail as a perfect cover. Amairah was never intrested into dressing up or putting any efforts on her looks so she was planning to be unknown for the rest of the year inversely her brother was the school hottie with his badass looks styles and friends and her sister was practically the beauty queen of the school.
When Amairah reached the Xavier's school just on time. She was mesmerized by the artitechure of the building.
She kept gawking at the building while walking and suddenly crashed onto someone falling directly on the ground.
"Ow!" She yelped standing up again while rubbing her butt to ease the pain she looked up at whom she crashed onto.
" Hey you useless girl how dare you crash onto the cheering captain " A from the left shrieked at Amairah.
" Uh sorry? " With that small word she started walking but was dragged back by someone pulling her from her hoodie.
"Do you even know who did you crash onto??"
"Ya ya the school bee and next will come the threatening speech right?? See I am clearly not interested in you nor will I ever be" Amairah spoke with a hint of sarcasm in her voice otherwise maintained a monotone.
"I can destroy your life in a day okay " The girl threatened.
" And I can an hour" Amairah mimicked her tone threat clear in her voice.
"Huh. Stop giving empty threats. I know people like you can never do anything " And she threw Amairah on the ground stomping her heels on her hand making sure to give her most possible pain. If it were the old Amairah she would have cowered away and started crying. But the old Amairah is dead. And this Amairah is heartless cold and merciless.
The girl crouched down to her leavel and whispered in her ear putting enough pressure from her high pencil heel to draw blood out of Amairah's hand not forgetting to pull her hairs " You are just another looser. A play toy" By now she was sure this girl has gotten all the attention of the passing students.

Amairah started counting in her mind and as soon as she reached one she fred her hand from her heel and bended her leg in such a way that made her loose balance and fall in front of her but Amairah was fast enough to stand up from there before she fell on her. Removing that girl from the top of her she gave a solid punch on her face breaking her oh so fake nose. A massive crowd had gathered there and before Amairah could do anything the school guidance counselor showed up and called both of them in his cabin.
Wow the school hasnt even started and she I am summoned great just GREAT!!
Amairah thought to herself before walking to the councillor's direction.
After numerous wrong turns she finally reached the cabin where one boy was also waiting outside.
Amairah waited for sometime for her the child inside to come. The door opened revealing the girl who she still didnt know was came out with a smug smirk plastered on her face and swirling her fingers in her hairs.
Amairah understood the second she saw her something was about to be wrong.
When she entered the cabin she was welcomed by the stern stare of the councillor. " Why did you beat an innocent child? "
Amairah scoffed at the word innocent for that bully.
" She isn't innocent and for the fact she was the one who started it not me. "
"Thats not what the video shows" He said before turning the laptop towards her to show the scene where Amairah was beating her.
" This isnt the complete video. There's more to it" Amairah tried to convince him but in vain.
" Ms smith complained against you and the video is the proof you cant do anything " Her turned the laptop back to him before continuing " Call you mother tomorrow. You are excused "
" But si-"
"GO"
With a sour mood she came out of the office. Not having anymore mood to continue school she went to a cyber cafe nearby, logging into her game id she started playing in an attempt to release her anger in the game. The players giver were not srong enough and she didnt really have to do anything much to defeat them just a few combination attacks and some tactics. She was so engrossed in the game that she didnt even notice the surroundings. When her last match ended she was among the top ten players. Stretching a bit to relax the stiffened muscles from the long games, everyone started clapping for her and that was when she realised that everyone was seeing her. At this moment she was thankful for the hoodie hiding her face. She quickly logged out and tried to get least possible attention for her. But it was impossible!!!
The only thing that went on her mind was RUN!!
And that was what she exactly did. A few people stood there baffled by the queer game style of her and a few even ran after her in an attempt to catch her but unfortunately for them and thankfully for Amairah they couldn't. At this point of time she was glad Cassandra forced her to do miles of running. She turned towards a dark lane away from the people following her, to stabilise her madly beating heart.
She remained their still thinking about the drastic changes her life. From a girl being bullied she became a fighter still afraid of the light. She has got a chance to change her lifestyle but something is rooting her back to the dark, back to the darkness, away from the light but somewhere or the other in the depth of her heart she doesn't want to go to the light the brightness, she somewhere in the small heart of hers want to be rooted in the darkness. As if this darkness is her only home.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of her phone with an unknown number calling
" What will you do "
"Huh"
" Now that the Ace is dead " The word ace caught her attention and by now she knew who it was. A smirk formed on her face.
" Lets see " And she ended the call heading towards her house with a smug smirk still lying on her face.
"Mom I am back "
" Okay sweetie "
She went to her room closed all the lights and made her way towards her bookshelf rearranged some books and entered a password on one of the book which opened the way to her personal room. The room which led to the attic, a place where no one in the house bothers to go. Amairah doubted if they knew about it . She took out some books and started reading in her room as if nothing happened.
Though she was reading the book her mind was occupied by her own thoughts and worries.
The next morning Amairah went and saw her dad watching tv.
The number of suicide and murder cases in the country have abruptly increased. Everyday a thousands of suicide cases are increasing the police is trying its best to find the culprits yet all attempts in vain. According to the police there is a complete organization working behind it but they arent able exactly point them. This is Marie your reporter of the day
The news caught her attention but shrugged it of and walked to the dining table waiting for her mother to serve the food. She was about to serve her when her mother's phone rang. Her face went pale and then sad as if she was about to break down. That certainly did worry her , a lot. As soon as the call ended she turned to an angle from where Amairah couldn't see and then went back to her happy face, serving her the food. It was more than unusual but she shrugged it off and got ready for her school after the breakfast carrying the daily routine for her day.
Amairah decided to take the first class even if it was boring as hell and not to ignore the cold stares from the students and concentrate on my games. Its not allowed to bring laptops so I bought a small tablet as a perfect disguise with a cover in design of a book.
She sat on one of the tables for the first class and as the class started she zoned out forgetting about all the other things.
"Excuse me "
She was suddenly reminded of her surroundings by an unknown voice.
Turning to the direction of tue voice "Uh yes "
"Remove your bag miss whatever. Its my seat "
" And I cant see your name anywhere " She shrugged before turning her attention towards her book.
"How can you talk rudely to Nick" A loud shrill voice which she barely recognised filled her ears.
" Stop calling me Nick, Danielle you have no right to call me.
Its N I C K O L A S " He grunted making each and every word crystal clear.
She internally laughed at her face and unfortunately couldn't control and laughed hard.
"Yea you hoe how dare you laugh at me " I noticed that even the guy was perplexed.
Hiding my laughs I answered " See I am not interested into neither of your bulshits. Mister N I C K O L A S and miss whatever go so somewhere else and do your shits not here. "
" See you girl, today's your last day so dont dare to steal my man " She stomped towards him and slid her hands in his arm clinging to him. And on the other hand that nickolas guy was making a face as if ready to puke any time looking at his arm. He shamefully removed his arm from her grasp and pushed her away. At this Amairah couldn't stop herself anymore and laughed out loud. The teacher entered and everyone retured to their seats.
Unfortunately Amairah had to put her bag down to give him space.
The lecture started and Amairah was bored to death so she decided to bunk. While roaming around the hallways she heard someone's faint plea from a room but she wasn't certain. Following the voice she ended up in front of the principal's office.
"Sir please I beg you dont do this my child's future will be destroyed"
She recognised the voice it was her mother's.
Why was she begging in front of someone? Not able to keep the question inside she barged into the room. She froze at the sight infront of her. Her mother kneeling infront of the principal.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING MOM!!! "
" See your child has been accused of bullying and even the daughter of the major shareholder of this school and they want you out. Such behavior wont be tolerated at all" The principal explained
This infuriated her beyond anything. " You know that she should follow the conduct of the school "
" How can you question your principal??" That was all he said before going for his own work completely ignoring her mother who was kneeling.
" How can you call yourself principal when you yourself are favouring students"
" You cant question me I am the principal "
" Who promotes inequality " Amairah completed
The principal stood up in anger and said in a warning tone " How dare you. I dont stand such brats in my school you are rusticated "
" The fire in me is enough to bring me back even if your fire burns me out "
After saying that I urged my mom and we left his office without a word
I think its time to bring team Ace back. But this time it will be more fierce and with only one person
