CHAPTER 6

"Thats enough"

I looked behind me and I furrowed my eyebrows when I saw a man staring blankly at me. Just by looking at him, I already knew that I had to stay away from his radar. He was wearing a glass and I noticed the unfamiliar depiction of it from the normal one.

"Staring is rude, Miss", He whispered under the sunlight. He throws a glance to the man beside the woman who's fixing her hair?

"Control your sister, Gino", he simply said but by hearing the tone of his voice, it is more likely a command.

They are siblings? Now that he mentioned it, they have the same features. Are they twins?

"But Hiro! I didn't do anything!"The woman pouted like a child and I couldn't help but to shake my head. What's with the sudden change of behavior?

I look around and everyone is looking in our direction particularly to this man, Hiro. It looks like everyone knows him, except for me.

"She started it! Look at my uniform!", she said like someone is asking her. Who cares b*tch?

I look at her chest and a smirk forms into my lips. She was showing her soul. Her red bra was marred from an incident a while ago and she didn't even care. But I want to clap for her confidence.

She walked and I rolled my eyes when she held the guy's arm. I was taken aback when I saw her brother, Gino, who was playfully smiling at me. Oh God! He saw that!

I cleared my throat and I avoided his eyes.

" You should change, Flora", Hiro said. So her name is Flora? It doesn't suit her. She was pushing herself too much to a man that annoys me. 

I sigh before I decide to look for my room. It's already 7 and I already have 30 minutes to find that freaking room.

" And where are you going, Miss?"I closed my eyes tightly. Can't they mind their own business? This whole drama is getting into my hands and what really irks me is that I can't do anything to shut their ugly mouths!

I sigh to calm myself before I face him with a small smile, "To find my room, Mr". Yes, Aurora, keep your smile.

"Aren't you going to say sorry?", he asked, looking at me from head to toe. I grip the strap of my bag when I see the woman giving me a triumphant smile. Is this her boyfriend?

" I already did, Mr", I said, which made him frown. He pulled his arms away from Flora and I wanted to laugh when I saw her reaction.

" I don't like the way you talk to me", he said and now, everyone's eyes are all set into mine.

Tsk, I don't like the way you talk to me either. What is wrong with my answers?

I heard a laugh. He's crazy like his sister.

" Take care of Flora for me, man. Leave this girl to me", Gino said. His smile is already plastered on his face and I want to wipe it using my fist.

"Let's go, nerd", he winked at me before he pulled my hands away from the crowds. I can hear them gasping and their faces are just so— overreacting. The hell with their reactions?

I stared at my hands while frowning. He stopped when we reached the hallway and he's still smiling from ear to ear. 

I look around, no one is here. There is only one CCTV camera and I can solve that matter. If I want, I can kill this man.

"You're not a nerd aren't you?", he said, which shocked the devil inside of me.

"Wha-what? What do you mean? How do you know?" How the hell did he know about that? Then the only solution is to shut his mouth.

I didn't know that I would blow my cover this instant. I am ready to pull my knife when he scratches his head.

"I mean your eyes", he muttered that made a question mark on the top of my head. 

"It's different from the nerds inside Maldigan '', he said while looking at me amusedly. " Damn, you're not even scared of my sister", he said and after that he laughed.

"So, your room?"he asked like nothing happened.

"Ah, room 12, Mathematics", I simply answered, confused.

I stepped backward when he filled the gap between us but he didn't shudder. He held both of my shoulders and turned me in the right direction.

"See that? Go now, Ms. Emily is quite a terror. See you around, nerd", he whispered behind my ears that gave me shivers.

I looked at him but he had already started walking. Hayst.

"Tha-Thanks!", I said and I don't know if he even heard that. 

First day of school but nothing is going on smoothly. This is all Flora's fault.

I really don't care about studying, but I have no choice since my disguise says so.

I bit my lower lip, why did I hesitate to kill that bastard?

*****

Nice! I am 10 minutes late. I didn't realize the distance that I have to walk just to reach this freaking room! It's so far!

I knock and open the door and an old woman in her 50s welcomes me using her fierce eyes. She was wearing an upswept cat eye glasses that matched her attitude. 

“And why are you late, Ms?”, she pauses and then raises her eyebrows. Oh, why did I forget to bring my dagger? I want to pierce her eyes so badly.

'`Its—”, she cut me off, stopping me using her hands.

“You are the new student right? Introduce yourself in front”, she said, crossing her arms while tapping her foot on the floor.

The students were whispering with each other, some were looking at me, and some didn't care at all.

I clear my throat and take a small forward in front. Seriously?! Self introduction is only for primary! 

“G–Good morning, I am Chiara Leinor, 17”, I simply said. I look around when silence envelopes the room. The sounds of crows are needed.

“It's nice to meet you all”, I continued. I am not embarrassed! 

“That's all?”, Ms. Emily said and I am so f*cking tired of talking that's why I nodded as an answer.

She sighs while shaking her head. What's her problem?

“Go sit at the back and remember this. I really hate those students who come late to my class. The next time you become late, drop my subject ”. She motioned me to get out of her sight. That's why I roamed my eyes.

I walked to the only chair that's not been occupied by the others and irritatingly sat on it.

“You!”, Ms. Emily shouted while pointing in my direction and I had to point at myself for confirmation.

“Yes! You! Stand up!”, she said. She was holding a stick that completed her attire as a terror teacher. 

“Since you are late. Kindly explain the definition of geometry”. She said while smiling like an evil godmother.

And what? Geometry? I really hate math!

“Whe—When we say geometry, it is a branch of mathematics concerned with properties of space such as the distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures”, I explained after inhaling all the oxygen I have just to find the meaning of that freaking definition of geometry inside my brain!

She has not discussed anything about geometry and as a professor, it is her job to explain it so why the hell is she asking me?! Or she already did? But nothing was written on that board.

I saw that Ms. Emily frowned, am I wrong? But I know I'm not! I felt nervous when she smirked.

“Give the five specific branches of geometry”, she asked me arrogantly.

My jaw dropped when she asked me those questions. She grinned when she saw my facial expression.

“I guess you don't have any idea. Anyone from the group who knows the answer—”

“For information on specific branches of geometry, we have Euclidean geometry, analytic geometry, projective geometry, differential geometry, non-Euclidean geometries, and topology”, I answered and instantly sat on my chair.

“Woah”

“Witty, huh”

“How did she know that”

My classmates commented and I saw the admiration in their eyes but thy stop when Ms. Emily shouted.

“Everyone, silence!”

She stares at me for a while and says words that may seem out of line for others.

“You're boastful, aren't you? I asked you five and you gave me six. Can't you understand a simple question?”, she asked me.

I close my fist when she looks at me with disappointment.

“Let's continue our discussion, next time, when I ask you guys a question, answer it specifically. I don't need an arrogant student inside my class”, she added and continued writing on the white board.

What the hell! What is her problem?!

She dismissed the class after a short quiz with 30 items. Yeah! It was a SHORT quiz for her!

Nothing makes sense on my first day of school. I hate everything! The place, the students, and that old hags teacher. 

My next class is Ethics and after that, I have two hours of free time. Might as well use that time to start my investigation.
