New Home

My left ear rang at the sound of the alarm set beside me and I groaned lazily and helplessly.

Yesterday was a disaster!

My Mum and I went to the school yesterday and got all necessary assessments. I got added to school new white list and the list of things I need to be in the boarding school was given to my mum and she bought everything that same day.

"Malien..." my mum whispered as she came into the room.

Each corner of my veins in depths of pain and starting to develop hatred for something of some sort.

"Before you head to the hostel, I just wanna let you know that..."

Blah, blah, blah...

Can't stop talking about junk, huh?

"You will have to get a job..."

My eyes fell on my mum as she drove.

I'm Dead right?

A WHAT!!!

A fifteen year old girl getting a job?

I mean which company am I gonna go to?

is she telling me she can't fend for our little family?

"Mum? What happened?" I asked like a little girl.

"I lost my job, honey"

My head rang. My brain spun. My throat began to sore. I wished my eyes went blank. All at the same time.

My mum is a very hard-working person. She have never lost her job except she resigned or they gave her a break which is so rare because all her bosses loves her and non will even give her a break.

I stared at nowhere in particular. Just taking deep breaths like it's gonna help me.

Even if I yell at her I have no option than to do it because my mum's anger isn't good and I won't like it if she released it on me.

She drove in complete silence until we got to the school's gate anxious about what's gonna happen next.

"Malien Smith?" the bunk head called.

"Here"

"Ma'am do you wish to speak to your daughter before she starts a new life?"

My mum looked at me and I could tell she wants to burst out in tears but she controlled herself.

"Mali... Make me proud" was all she said and turned back not even waiting to hear my reply.

I turned to face the bunk head and she had a questionable expression on her face. But she let a smile evoke on her lips as she led me into the bunks room.

As we passed all rooms, I could hear different voices of people.

"This is the boys bunk" she said and as I passed, their doors were open.

Different eyes met with mine. Some were pleasant, some were smiley, most were looking tough.

As I passed the last of the boys bunk, so many eyes met me and made me to start wondering how many people stays in one bunk.

The boys were staring earnestly at me as they stopped their conversation with each other. Like I threatened them or so.

One of the guys on a couch that was laying on it bent his head to look at me as I passed the bunk.

We both were staring at each other till I broke the eye contact.

Ass.

It's not everyday you get to see a pretty girl huh? Understandable.

The girls rooms were quiet as it supposed to and finally... The head of the bunkers, stopped and knocked on a door.

The door opened and behind it stood a girl that wore a slightly torn shirt exposing her ribs to her inner wear.

She had long lashes and a pink lipstick on. She had long nails like a witch and her pink make-up make her look alive and beautiful.

"Hello Miss B" she greeted sounding gentle and like a woman.

"Hello, Chunhua"

The lady called Chunhua eyed me with misery and hatred.

"This is Malien Smith. Your new bunk mate and school mate"

We both stared at each other, she poking her tongue out like she's calling for a kiss.

"Malien, this is Chunhua. Your bunk mate and school and classmate"

My brow slightly raise and she stopped licking her lips.

"Welcome" escaped her mouth as she turned and left the door post into the room.

Miss B, as I learnt, gave me a smile and left.

As she left, I caught sight of guys coming towards the bunk, the guy that I had an eye contact with, in the middle of them.

I quickly went into the room.

The girls room is high, wide and pinky.

As I entered, three girls eyes that looks like big holes that got glass in it, glared at me like I puked.

"Welcome" one said as a smile broke on her face.

I smiled too.

"Thank you" I reply with my sweet tone voice.

They all said welcome and I replied gladly.

Suddenly, the door split open and the group of guys I saw earlier was at the door post.

Their eyes quickly met with mine especially the guy at the front who had a weird smile on his face.

"What do you want Zhang?" Chinhua asked.

Zhang, as I just learnt, averted his gaze to her.

"What do you think I want?"

The lady kept quiet and his eyes met mine.

"I have never seen you around. Who are you?"

I chuckled and mumbled as I sigh.

"Malien Smith"

"Are you american?"

"Half breed"

His eyes scanned me from my head to my shoe then up into my eyes again.

Chunhua stood up and came in front of me.

"Leave Zhang! We are not part of your dirty activities"

His eyes didn't leave mine as his eyes widened a bit.

He walked up to her and I could tell she freezed in front of him.

Two boys grabbed her and pulled her to the bed, as they gathered round me.

"Malien huh? A new student?"

My breath siezed as I stared at the handsome guy in front of me.

"Yeah"

They all smiled like they planned it or something.

My guts are rising now.

He tilted my head to look boldly at him and he held my jaw high.

A little stare as everyone watched made me dope.

He lets go of my head and still stared a bit.

Gently like a prince, he grabbed my hand and placed a card in it.

Smiling as he turned and left.

I can sense he is growing mad as he and the rest of the boys left.

The card is a business card.

Chinhua stood up and closed the door and stared back at me.

"Don't ever listen or be with that boy! He's not worth it!"

I am seeing jealousy in her. I smell it.

As I stared at the card, the name there was surprisingly one of the best company's name and the manager is a border?

Zhang Wei?
