The Sparks

CHAPTER 8 – THE SPARKS

Ophelia entered the class with her spawns, chewing gum loudly she used a different tie, different from the other ties.

Normally the students wear blue ties but she's wearing black, standing out.

"Can't wait to see if the new girl will be hotter than me" she said, blowing bubbles from her gum as she looked at her face in her mirror.

"No one can beat your face, trust me," Lilac said and she smiled.

"You don't have anything to say, Floyd?" Ophelia faced her.

"Your face is always dazzling, no match," Floyd said and Ophelia stroked her hair.

"Is Floyd a dog? Why does it seem like it" Yolanda said.

"Who knows" Rhythm replied beside her and she sighed

"I told you I don’t want friends so shush please," Yolanda said.

Since she forcefully helped her with the community service yesterday, she has been following her around, insisting on being her friend.

"But Yolanda...." Rhythm said.

"No buts please," Yolanda said sternly.

SCHOOL PARK

Lotus's car stopped and she stepped out immediately, her long hair playing on her waist.

It's damn black and the blackness only added to her beauty.

The students who are just coming out of their cars stopped to stare.

Not even a single person moved an inch, all eyes are on her.

To them, she's the real beauty goddess.... her beauty looks surreal.

Lotus smiled when she saw the school building, it was painted blue, the same as the uniform...her favorite color.

"Have a nice day" Nam-Ri said and just as she took the first three steps, a deafening thunder sounded and the students bent in fear.

Lotus stopped and looked up, it's about to rain.

She has no power over rain so it's impossible to stop it.

If the rain touches her, she'll transform automatically.

She started running the remaining distance to the school building but a presence fell beside her and she stopped.

It's a guy but the scent she is having from him is too enchanting...

He's smiling kinkily and he's holding an umbrella to their heads, it started raining immediately.

"Let's share my umbrella, you'll catch the flu if the cold rain touches you," he said and saw that the rain was almost touching her backpack…

He stepped closer, covering her more properly and they could feel each other's breaths on their faces as they stared at each other.

Lotus's eyes bored into his own and surprisingly, she saw herself in his eyes.

The rain is still pouring and students can be seen going into the building with umbrellas.

"Let's go, we're late already," he said, taking her hand.

Immediately the contact happened, she felt the sparks and her eyes widened again.

He continued pulling her in, making sure that even a raindrop didn't touch her.

She kept looking at him as he walked and though she just met him, she knew nothing about him but it felt like she had known him for years.

They finally got to the building and he wrapped the umbrella before looking at her again.

"Starr is my name, I'm a pianist, class 5," he said, expecting her to talk too but she won't stop staring.

"Hey," he waved his hand in front of her.

"Huh!" She woke up.

"My name is...

"Starr, a pianist, class 5" she interrupted and he smiled.

"So you heard me"

"Lotus, same class, a singer" she replied.

"It's nice to have a pretty girl in our class, your long hair reminds me of someone," he said.

"Who?"

"Never mind, let's go," he said and led the way while she followed as they walked past the hallway, boys tripped, wishing to date her already.

A lot kissed the wall as a result of much staring and books fell from lots of them.

Girls weren't left out too, wishing they had her face or hair or spotless bright skin.

👥 Class 5 is so lucky

👥 I wish she was in our class

👥 Is she for real?

👥 I'm dying!

👥 Gosh! Is she a mermaid or something?

👥 She must be from a fairytale or something

👥 Aphrodite will surely bow in front of her

👥 I'm jealous!

Lotus kept looking at everyone as they commented about her. Starr suddenly grabbed her hand again.

"Stop staring, we're late," he said, walking faster.

Normally she should be telling him to let go of her hand right now but she's not objecting and that's making her wonder why.

They finally got to class 5 and he stopped.

"Getting late on your first day, I hope Mr. Roger won't talk too much," he said and opened the door, pulling her in.

Everyone stopped talking immediately and luckily, no teacher was in class.

"The hell" Martin muttered, his pen falling from him when he beheld Lotus.

"Angel of my life," Bluey whispered.

"She's fucking hot," Yolanda thought, admiring her.

"What's this? Where's she from?" Ophelia thought, getting jealous already.

The worst is that Starr is still holding her hand.

"So Starr you came late but with a bride," Bluey said and he quickly let go of her hand.

"Shall we start today's class?" Miss Stacy said, coming into the class alone.

Everyone quickly settled down.

"Oh, the new student?" Miss Stacy said and Lotus faced her, her long hair showing off to the class.

"The hair OMG" Lilac gushed.

"She's perfect" Rhythm muttered

All the girls started wishing it was theirs except Ophelia who was feeling angry already.

"Wow! You're so beautiful" Miss Stacy gushed.

Lotus just blinked.

"Introduce yourself, pretty," she said.

Lotus faced the class again.

"Lotus Watergirl," she said.

"Weird name....water..what?" Miss Stacy said.

The students started murmuring too.

"I think it's just like it sounds...water and .... like water , right?" Starr helped and Lotus nodded.

"Yes Watergiri " she said.

"Singers congratulations, this beauty is in your department," Miss Stacy said and the singers screamed except Ophelia.

Lotus took her seat beside a girl and the girl kept looking at her.

"Hey I'm Constance," the girl said and Lotus smiled lightly.

"I love your hair," Constance said, touching it.

"I've always tried growing my hair but it's always on the shoulder level" she continued, still touching it.
