Rare Addition

Chapter 2

 As we sat at an empty table in the outside eating area * Ring*   the bell for school rang and the four of us headed to our home rooms. We all have separate classes sadly, this school is pretty big so its expected. Sometimes I just feel so small and lost here , but its fine I just keep smiling and going on with my life doing my best to survive. 2 hours passed since home room and I’m sitting quietly in my biology class taking my notes and listening to the teacher. I get really good grades for some reason even though I barely pay any attention in class, I guess just hearing her say saying it is enough fro me to learn it. At some point in class I stoped taking notes knowing the homework later will give me a better understanding anyway. The bell rang through the speakers and I looked at the clock we still had about 20 minutes of class left must be an announcement. At that time I did not know that what the principal was going to say next was going to change my already anticipated corse of action.

“ Gracie.C can you please make your way to my office with all of your belongings” the whole class was filled with the the sounds of my class mates going ‘ohhh’ something most teenagers do when someone gets called to the office. I just gathered my things and walked straight out of the classroom. If I were to tell you that I was not scared that would be a lie, I know I have never done anything wrong in school. My grades are very good, I’m quite and I would never get into trouble Jay and Mini would sure never allow that, hell I would not allow that for myself. I pride myself on good conduct so it can be shown on my collage applications. So what did I do?

I arrived at the principals office and stood there looking at the shiny gold plaque  with his name on it that was on the door.Principal Jam was written in very basic letters across it. Holding my breath I knocked lightly on the door waiting for any signal for me to enter, then after a few seconds a faint yet  assertive “come in” was said on the other side.I walked in slightly shaking.

“Yes sir you wanted to see me?”. I proceeded with caution my ears on high alert , my tail stopped swaying and stood still tucking between my legs a little. I closed the door behind me and stood by the door. “ oh come now Gracie you can have a seat your not in trouble I promise.”

When he said those words my little panic attack I was having very quickly left my body like a huge weight coming off my shoulders .” Oh thank God, then what is it that you neede?” he just chuckled a little at how quickly I seems to calm down after making it clear I was not in trouble. 

“ Gracie you are a very exceptional student, and I have got the teachers to keep an eye on you for a few months now for something very important for me. Would you mind helping me with it?” When he said those words I felt slightly on edge. He had the teachers watching me? I mean it was pretty obvious that they were, my senses were always signaling to me that is as being stalked from a distance but I was cool with all of the teachers so it was nothing threatening...but the thought still sent chills down my spine. “may I ask why you were observing me?”

“ My brother is the principal of an all boys school called bangtang academy, I’m sure you have hurd of it. He has been having trouble managing the school and needs a female touch on board with him. He asked me if I could spare a female teacher or very capable student to help out over there.” I just looked at him in a state of shock. Bangtang academy was one of the more prestigious  schools for boys. All the boys there were really smart but rowdy. I have Hurd a lot about it though. Mainly how the ‘all boys’ name stood true ,there was only one female teacher there. Nervousness shot throughout my body being the only other girl there the same age as most if the students would cause trouble I just know it will. “ I don’t know about that sir , I’m doing perfectly fine here plus would I be like the second female there?”  He looked Saddened my answer, I mean he has to understand what he is asking of me. I would love to help he has done so much for me considering school and making sure to sometimes cut corners and be patient about my parents missing a school fee payment. I thought his offer over for a bit considering it. I sighed “ How about we discuss some of the details further, and I will give you my answer at the end of ok?” He seemed pleased with my response, its the least I can do for him anyway. We talked about it for a bit. It never really crossed my mind until now how something like this could change my corse of action in life. Going with this could change up my whole plan completely, the thought lit a spark in my mind. This could really take me out of my normal routine. I would know no one, each experience would be a new one with new people in a new setting. I though about the possible outcomes of this choice, I made sure to think about it carefully. The excitement inside me was foreign, something I have not felt before. Each day of me life I felt generic happiness or saddens nothing this overwhelming. I had no idea what to do with this new emotion. This extreme curiosity, I wanted to find an answer to were this new direction placed in front of me would lead. All these questions asked to myself resulted in my final answer to his proposal “ sure I would love to help, when do I start”.
