Author's point of view... Thea's eyelids twitched as she exclaimed loudly. "What...!!" She felt a churning sensation in her gut. What the hell is he doing? Mark grinned coquettishly, staring at Thea with his body leaning forward. "Yeah, I am serious." he said with that grin still intact. Thea narrowed her eyes. He continued, "I would love to have a girlfriend like you" he repeated. Thea was so annoyed. This boy really lost his mind. She exhaled frustratingly. "Oh...so you got your first confession..." adding to her frustration, a voice echoed in her mind, which wasn't pleasant to hear, anyway. "Shut up Mike..." she groaned and was about to smack the hell out of Mark when Aaron stepped forward and twisted Mark's arm behind. "Argh...that hurts..." Mark winced in pain. Aaron gritted in frustration. "This isn't funny at all, Mark. How could you speak to a girl like that?" "I...I...am ..Sorry...leave me, Aaron or my shoulder would be dislocated. I was just pl
Author's point of view... When Logan gave the phone number and details of the person who hired him to beat up her, Thea instantly sent it to Dave. She requested him to investigate about the number. Though she didn't gave any specific details, Dave had a special corner for the girl and so he didn't ask further. She had an intuition that this entire matter had something to do with someone from her school and that specific someone might be around her. As Thea and Britney were in the washroom, they heard many comments that were targeted at Thea. People even chattered some useless crab like it was so important. They believed that Thea was beaten up. What a joke...! Thea scoffed internally. "What the hell..." Britney couldn't take it anymore. She wanted to pick a fight with anyone who offended them but Thea stopped her. "Let them be..." Britney sighed and followed Thea. Just as they were about to step out of the bathroom, the door swung open and a few girls stepped in.
Author's point of view... After recess, the students of Class B caught wind of the so-called news from other classes that, Thea had been beaten up by Margot earlier and was forced to kneel to beg for mercy. It sounded pitiful, but instead of feeling sorry, they, too, joined the gossip. "So, it wasn't true that Thea had anything to do with those senior girls back then" "Yeah, right? How could a fatty like her best up those girls?" "But what about Britney? She has become her pet since then!!" "I don't know either" "She might have mistaken that Thea was powerful" "She should open her eyes and see the right thing. That fatty is such a sore to the eye" They all giggled under their breath. They were literally whispering but that wasn't inaudible. They didn't even hesitate to talk badly before Thea. For a moment, Thea seemed to have reverted to her old self—someone or anyone could bully her. In fact, Thea was too lazy to react anyway. To be honest, the one who had truly c
Author's point of view... Thea covered herself with the blanket and was about to doze off when a voice echoed in her mind. "Do you remember Carolina?" Thea jerked up. "Which Carolina are you talking about?" She was a little bit shocked to hear that name. And, of course, coming from Mike, it sounded so unbelievable. Wasn't he a little supervisor dragon? How did he know about a maid in the palace from the Monster land? "Hmm...that same Carolina about whom you are thinking," he clarified, and Thea frowned. She was clearly displeased. It was a taboo to talk about her before Thea and all her servant elves knew, but Mike seemed to have not known about it. "Why would you bring that up now and how do you know anything about her?" Thea smacked almost dismissively. One can easily read her disgust. "Take it easy princess. I know about it very well because I belong to that magical land too and for bringing it up now, I have my reasons" Carolina was the daughter of one of the
Author's point of view... The next morning, Thea got up with full spirit. She stretched her hands and legs and got ready for her daily jogging. As she stepped out of the girls dorm, she found two boys in their tracksuits, already waiting for her. Mark was the first one to see her. He immediately rushed to her, "Hey boss, you are late" "There's no time table for exercise" Thea smacked as she just smiled and started running before Mark. He shrugged his shoulders and followed her. Aaron then noticed her and rushed to her. He was a gorgeous man to be honest and the morning sunlight reflecting on his face made him even more radiant. She blinked her eyes twice before smiling at him. "Hi..." he waved and Thea reciprocated. They started their jogging but soon it ended up in a marathon as Thea was so fast in her tracks. Her speed made the boys rug their feet and run faster than her, which was actually becoming impossible. How could a girl run so fast?? After what felt
Author's point of view... "Do you guys even know what happened in the park?" Thea asked and everyone shared puzzled glances. Wasn't she beaten up by Logan? Why is she bringing that up again? Could it be that she wanted to say it out loud to gain sympathy from them all!! That was hilarious. Even if they felt pity on her, that doesn't mean that they would tolerate Logan's wrath for her. Why would they? But before Thea could continue, Mr.Yates walked in to the classroom with a gloomy expression on his face. "It's you again!!" he roared. Everyone took a breath of relief. "I just got a complaint about you and now you are causing a disturbance in the class, also disturbing the other classes. I vaguely guessed who that might be the trouble maker and it was indeed you" Mr.Yates was furious. Everyone thought that Thea would be reprimanded and would get back down after apologising, but surprisingly no, Thea wasn't going to back down that easily. She glared at the teacher with the
Author's point of view... Thea's gaze was firm and her eyes narrowed. Anyone who looked at her at that very moment would shiver. She held an air of dominance around her that seemed to be emitted out of her foreboding soul; unlike how timid she used to be, she was now not that timid girl anymore. As Thea rolled her eyes everywhere in the classroom, at last, her eyes stopped at one person. As if someone had just splashed a bucket of cold water on her, Lily shivered. Lily knew immediately that Thea had come for her. She froze, unsure how to react to this sudden confrontation. The only thing she could manage was to stammer, “W...what… what do you want?” Thea stepped closer, her eyes blazing, and simply bent forward and grabbed Lily’s long hair. Lily shrieked in pain. Everyone was so shocked that their hearts lunged into their throats. “Ah, Thea! What are you doing? Let go of me!” Lily screamed. The students around them gasped in shock. This was an outright provocat
Author's point of view... Because of the sudden splatter of water, Thea tilted her head and covered her face. Even so, the cold water splashed on her entire body. The hoodie that she was wearing was all wet. The bottle she used to throw at Lily had just a little bit of water in it, barely splashed on her face but Serra deliberately used a full bottle to pour that on Thea. "Are you okay?" Aaron and Mark immediately rushed to her aid. Mark grabbed some tissues from the teacher's desk and handed over to Thea. Thea closed her eyes. "Do you want my help again??" Mike asked in a mocking tone. He was capable of pausing the time with his magic but Thea was not at all in a mood for his help. She inhaled deeply before smacking him away. "No need" So this is how it had to come out...! She thought and grabbed the tissues from Mark's hands. She wiped her face clean and removed the hoodie. Her face was radiant as some kind of artwork. She looked so beautiful, just like a fairy desce
Author's point of view... After that meal, Cinthia never dared to mess with Thea. She even apologized to Thea privately after getting back to their school. The days in the future were simple and happy as there were no bullies in the school. Even the senior students respected Thea for both her grades and bravery. The days passed away in a blink of an eye and it was already the end of the year. Both the girls visited Thea's parents every weekend but Nick and Diana never talked about ranking before them. They knew their daughter wasn't good in studies and so they avoided the topic, not to embarass her. After the annual exams, the principal of the school invited Thea's parents to school for a meeting. Nick and Diana were so nervous when they were called. They thought that their daughter might have failed in exams. However, when they reached the school, they were stunned to see Thea's name on top of the ranking list. Unable to believe what they were seeing, they went to the princ
Author's point of view... Thea's plate was filled up instantly with two different flavours of pizza slices at a time. Both the boys sitting next to her stared at each other. Kevin was stunned for a moment but soon burst into laughter. "Looks like, Aaron wants to make you fat again, Thea, so that you won't be able to concentrate on your studies..." he said gleefully. Thea shrugged her shoulders and picked up one of the slices to eat. Aaron, however hesitatingly looked away. Everyone laughed at the joke but Cinthia felt a pang of jealousy settling in her heart. Was this just her illusion or did she noticed something between Aaron and Thea? Britney was still looking at Cinthia as if admiring a piece of art. "Cinthia, you look so good from closer. Your skin is soft and flawless just like..." Britney wanted to say Thea's name but Thea smacked her shoe beneath the table. It felt awkward being compared. Britney understood her boss's warning and stopped wisely. Cinthia smi
Author's point of view... "Class B?" Cinthia asked puzzled. She was sure that bright and handsome boys like them would never have anything to do with Class B. "Yes, it's one of our closest friends. I will introduce you to her later..." Mark said smiling as he booked a cab for them. Her...! Cinthia's mind raced. Is he talking about some girl? She had noticed that no girl from their class dared to step near these princes, so where did this girl come from? Cinthia hadn’t expected other girls to join, but it made sense—these three attractive guys naturally attracted attention. She just didn’t know who this lucky girl was and whether she was someone’s girlfriend. She just hoped that she wasn't attached to Aaron in any way. Masking her uneasiness under a sheepish smile, she nodded gracefully. "Okay, then. We’ll go reserve a table...!" she looked at Aaron again, who hadn't even bothered to grace her with his glance, and said, "Be quick, guys...we will be waiting. If you are late,
Author's point of view... Sitting in the class, Thea noticed that Amelia was behaving so weird. She had been glancing back at Thea all this while as if she was feeling uneasy about Thea's presence. Though Thea wanted to ignore her, her instinct didn't let her. Once Mr. Yates left the class briefly, Thea asked Britney to go ask if Amelia was in some kind of trouble. Britney snorted. She didn't want to go talk to an ungrateful brat like Amelia. But she had no choice when it comes to Thea's orders. Britney stood up reluctantly to go but before she could even take one step, Amelia turned around and hurried towards them. Thea raised her eyebrows as she saw her approaching. There was indeed something that was bothering her. Thea thought. Amelia walked over and stood right next to Thea desk, hesitation evident in her eyes. Before Thea could ask, Britney stood between them, protectively. She clearly thought that Amelia was here to cause trouble. "What is it now?" Amelia was
Author's point of view... As they were driving back home, Thea remembered an incident from their childhood, in which Cinthia wanted a doll from Thea's toys so badly. That memory had a mark on Thea's mind as that doll was the only expensive thing in Thea's toys collection and also it was the last gift for her birthday from her grandma and so Thea clearly refused to give it to Cinthia at that time. They were just kids, like five to six years old but still, Cinthia was so cruel. As Thea refused to give it to her, Cinthia secretly destroyed the doll and pushed Thea down the stairs, making her fall badly. Thea fell directly on her face which hurt her mouth. Her lower lip was torn so badly and was needed some stiches to recover. She also lost two of her teeth at that time. It was all a mess with blood and pain. Thea was clearly a victim at that time but before Thea could say anything about her to her parents, Cinthia played the victim. She started crying so hard as if it wasn't
Author's point of view... “What is it, Dad?” Thea saw how serious he was. It seemed important. “Here’s the thing." Nick began after glancing at his wife, "I have a friend. His name’s Donald Rogers, but you knew him as Uncle Don. Do you remember him?” Thea quickly searched her memories for anything related. There was indeed an Uncle Don. But other than some blurred flashes, she couldn't remember anything. “Okay, what’s wrong?” “Here’s the thing. Don and I grew up together and were very good friends. When we grew up, Don went to New York City to develop his business. We aren’t as close as we once were, but we still keep in touch. Last year, he had some problems with his business. I’m not sure about the specifics.” Thea shifted in her seat as she noticed Nick was a bit hesitant. “According to Don, he offended some people he shouldn’t have. Don’s daughter, Cinthia, is the same age as you, also a freshman. Don wants to send her to Virginia and have her stay here for some time
Author's point of view... The week passed away in just blink of an eye, peacefully. After watching the videos of Lily and her friends entering the dorm room with buckets of cold water and also them bullying other kids, everyone understood that Thea was never wrong. They apologised to Thea and in no time, Thea became so popular in the school. On Saturday evening, Aaron insisted on taking Thea home but Mike denied grumpily. "If you dare go with that boy, I will post some really nasty videos of yours in the school builtin website" Thea rolled her eyes, frustrated. What's wrong with this guy? Mike started acting as a possessive husband all of a sudden which infuriated Thea. "Are you blackmailing me or something?" "Try me..." Mike replied nonchalantly. Thea wanted to kick his ass right then and there but decided against it. She knows very well of how capable the man was. She reluctantly declined Aaron's help, telling him that she had someone else to drop her. Though Aa
Author's point of view... "Ray...you lost your mind..." Lily shouted at her brother but Ray ignored her and glanced one last time at Thea before forcefully dragging Lily out of the cafeteria. Everyone was so confused. Britney couldn't take it any longer. She poked Thea and asked urgently. "Boss...what did you ask Mr. Charles for? Lily was so angry just now. She didn't come to apologize! Is there something else?" Thea laughed out louder. She snapped Britney's forehead as she said, "You are always so curious, aren't you?" Britney grinned sheepishly. "Hey, but this time, I am curious too," Mark interjected. "What was that all about?" he asked seriously, "I know Ray and he is definitely not a man to give in that easily! What did you do to him?" Thea smiled and took out her phone. "Check this out!" Everyone gathered around her and peeked at the phone screen. Thea played a video in which Lily and her minions were entering a room with buckets filled with water.
Author's point of view... Soon Ray Charles arrived at the school. He had already changed his outfit, now wearing a dark blue tailored suit, he looked elegant. He walked into the school directly. The police had already left and all the authoritative Directors of the school were assembled to settle down the things at the school. Ray Charles, being one of the trustees of the school, was welcomed respectfully. Though they didn't want to let him in, no one dared to stop him either. Lily received a message from her brother and a smile tugged on her face. Her foot was sore because of the earlier running and all that pain made her grit in frustration. Despite being in pain, she was beaming with joy. "You will pay for everything, bitch...!" she said and walked towards the corridor to meet her brother. Thea and all her friends sat in the cafeteria after the class. Aaron couldn't help but admire Thea's intelligence. He asked her to explain each and every problem in the math paper
