Brutal journey

chapter 5

With the help of both Freya and crimson, i reached my class, i don’t need to hide. Ofcourse, the whole school has already witnessed what happened with me in the hall. Freya, who has a few classes with me where Crimson left for her own sake , Freya entered along with me in Mrs. steel class. Mrs. Steel looked at me and squinted her eyes,

“ what kind of haircut is that?” she said.

The whole class busted out of laughter and loud muttering was so easy to catch our attention. Oblivious professor first looked at the class, then looked at me , then again at class and suddenly shouted to all the students,

“ Silence! I have never seen a pathetic class like yours. The teacher is standing in front. Still so much indiscipline. Is this place a fish market to all of you?.” Class became pin-dropped silenced.

She turned to me and Freya.

“ Why are you late?, is this your home? Where will you come whenever you want?, school administration has provided you with a schedule. Yes or no?”.

We both replied “Yes professor.” in coercion.

“ So what’s your excuse?” the professor's face said it all. She doesn't tolerate nonsense.

But my dear Freya decided otherwise. “Professor actually yesterday I met with an accident, she was helping me to come,”Freya gestured to me. ”That's the reason i couldn’t even complete my homework.” she lied, trying her best to fake a c***k sound at the end of her sentence. Seriously, what if the professor comes to me for comfirmation?.

But the professor smiled, lucky for me and unlucky for her.

“ You look in excellent health to me, miss johnson, so you will excuse me if I don’t let you off homework today. I assure you that if you do die, you need not hand it in.” professor smugly said.

”go to your respected seats.. Oh wait you are a new girl.`` The professor directly stared at me and continued,``What's your name?”.

I gulped and answered,``I am called dakota styles, mam.”

She nodded. Freya and I found our seats in the second last row.

Freya looked at me and whispered,``I am done, I haven't done my homework and she caught my lie, just because of that,I'm sure i'm in trouble.”

I heard someone chuckled behind us,”you didn’t get in trouble for lying; you got in trouble for lying badly.” a male voice said.

We both turned our heads to take a look, an identical light brown pair of eyes, big lashes, dark brown head. I tried to recall who he exactly looked identical to.

He studied my eyes. I don’t know when he brought his face this close to me, distorting my personal space. ,

"I know what you're thinking about. Wheels in your head are quite slow. I have to say I'm not impressed.” he uttered.

“What makes you think I'm here to impress you. Mr. whoever you are.” I said without thinking.

“ Obviously, I'm out of your league” he was trying hard to stop his laugh. That made me agitated. “Considering everybody knows what happened to you. I know right.”

I looked dead in his eye then smiled faintly. “Obviously you have mistaken me for somebody who gives a shit.” I saw his jaw clenched, satisfied.

I turned my face back to the teacher and pulled my literature notebook out of my bag, since this is what my current class is about.

But Freya was still staring at the back bencher,” you know what? this is a whole new level of moronic, even for you christopher.” she told him and turned her face too, to the front.

I gave her a side glance and noticed she was writing something on a yellow sticky note. She slid the scribbled note in front of me, which said “he is crimson’s brother. “

“What!” I exclaimed. Then on the back of the note I wrote. “ I thought crimson said he is an ignorant type.” and passed it back to her. She read it and started writing on another. When a piece of chalk. All of a sudden, it passed from near my ear. And hit someone's forehead?.”

“Ouch” Christopher hissed. To stop my smile. i bite my lips arduously.

“ What are you looking at in the girls notebooks?” Mrs. steel asked christopher. He stood up in his place.

I looked at him and couldn’t hold my smile any longer, which he didn’t miss. He c****d his head to the left and smirked just for a second but then as if it wasn't even there in the first place . My smile dropped in confusion.

‘“Mam, both of these girls are chit-chatting in sticky notes, I don't know. what they were laughing about. but that distracted me so I tried to take a peek.” he said loudly in class. But in the end his voice downed to give its full impact.

Mrs. Steel came to our seats and gave both of us a hard stare. She closed her eyes and pierced her lips inside as if trying to stop herself from saying something impetuous. She re-opened her eyes and said, “ Get OUT! Right this instant. And here is detention for you trio. You won’t go home after school.” I was stuck looking at her when Freya took my hand as she dragged me to the same place we entered from just 15 minutes ago. I was shaking inwardly ‘this is my first day in school'.
