Chapter 3

802 Words
Chapter 3 -Eliana- Yup, it’s official. The author was probably stupid. The book described Prudence as a place for high achieving individuals and geniuses. How can that be the case when they are here teaching elementary things? “Oh my, it’s easy for you to solve this Eliana?” The teacher asked with a shocked look on her face. What the hell is going on here?!! Even a five year old would have no problems solving something this easy. Just when I planned to attract no attention to myself whatsoever. “Eliana please come up and solve this please?” The teacher said excitedly not even knowing that she was indirectly putting my life at risk. Sigh Maybe I should just pretend to be dumb. On the huge board was 8 x 16 Huh? “I know it may be a tad difficult as this is for the grade above but I just want to see your solving skills.” Huh? Could it be that the author was actually a middle schooler? That is the only plausible answer because what even is this??!! Should I just pretend I don’t know it? My hands shake as I position the marker on the board. 128 “Oh my God, Eliana, that's correct!” Of course it is. I just could not pretend not to know something basic as this. Just when I actually got excited to got to school again. Back home; it was a dream that I could never achieve because well, I was poor and had no other form of support. Being a corporate slave was the only way that I could survive daily. There was never an easy way for me to upgrade my education. I turned around and It was impossible for me to miss all the stares. I dared not look at Serena. In the book, Serena was a genius among geniuses and it was one of the things that drew Clyde to her. I just want to go by unnoticed. Thankfully, Clyde is yet to show up and I would like to keep it that way. If possible, it would do me a great good if he never even discovered that I was his mate. Dare heaven, please let me survive this. “Eliana, you may return to your seat now.” Happily, I walked back and sat down beside Mary. “H-hey, how did you solve that?” You too? “U-um i’ve been studying over the holidays.” “Wow Eliana.” Hopefully, it’s just Math class. “Dear heavens, Eliana, you already understand the principles of the water cycle so easily?” Huh? Science class too?! You have got to be kidding me. ******** “Hey you. Eliana right?” I heard from behind me on my way back to my dormitory room. Shit. It was Serena. There were two other girls behind her. “Y-Yes?” I asked cautiously not wanting to be even a foot radius close to her. “I heard that you were a scholarship grant. What family are you from?” She asked coyly but I could easily see what she was playing at. Now, a group of students have gathered. Gosh….. are you guys kids? I can’t believe Eliana let the likes of these people get to her even to the point of death. “Yes you’re right. I’m a scholarship student as for my family, I wouldn’t know as I am an orphan.” I say softly, letting out a wide smile. Now that I think about it, something similar like this happened in the book. Eliana took first place in some test instead of Serena. Instead of defending herself, she bust out in tears in the hallway in front of so many students. Well, that won’t be happening Eliana, just leave it to me. “You nameless lowlife. Do you think just because you’re smart, you belong here?” She said with a nasty smirk on her face. Gosh I have no idea how this snake was able to convince Clyde that she was the innocent one and Eliana his true mate was the villain. Well, that’s none of my business. I am already reaching my thirties and it is becoming very difficult for me to continue this conversation. “Hey what’s happening here?” A low voice reverberated throughout my body. Students parted away almost immediately like he was done god. Hmm? Tch It’s that rude child from earlier. I’ll put him in his place again. “C-clyde…” Serena softly sobs, her eyes blinking and lips pouting. Gosh so fake. Wait…. Wait wait wait….. Wait!!!!! WAIT A MINUTE!!!! Did…. Did she just call him Clyde?!! As in Clyde Harrington, the male lead and the hockey team captain?! Clyde..??? As in my mate…?!!!! Damn this author….
