Chapter 6

--Zach--

"I'm Wither Rose Verrone. A half vampire and player, I'm a fire player." she shortly introduced herself to us.

Wither huh…

A half vampire and player, just like me.

Maybe I really found my match.

"As you can see Wither here is our new student and It'll be great if you'll treat her good"

Wither then sat down to her seat and Sir.Nicho proceeded with his lesson.

As I look at Wither I can see her just staring at the window.

She's obviously not listening to the discussion. Not that I'm listening but what can I do. I already know the lesson.

30 minutes later Venice, the assuming school queen, raised her hand getting Sir.Nicho's attention as well as the rest of the class.

"Yes Venice?" he asked her.

"Sir look at Wither, she's not even listening. She's just staring at the window. Plus the fact that she's wearing earphones. I bet she's just jamming whatever music in her seat. Isn't it unfair to us who's listening to you?" Sir.Nicho smirked at what he heard but it quickly changed into his usual smiling face.

I frowned seeing that. Does he know Wither personally? For him to smirk like that.

Besides, Sir.Nicho usually scolds whoever doesn't listen to him, especially if he or somebody caught you.

I wonder what is their connection to each other?

All of us looked at Wither and as she noticed our gaze she looked at all of us with a bit of frown.

"Wither? Stand up" Wither stood up hearing that sir called her.

"What is Numbness?" he asked and I recognized that it's what he's discussing earlier.

Let's see Wither, If you're so smart that you dare defy me. Are you at least smart to match me?

Are you really my match?

I ask myself those questions, though I have this feeling that she'll answer the question with ease.

Why? I myself don't know

And just like that she proved my hunch correct.

"Numbness and tingling are types of temporary paresthesia. These sensations commonly occur after sitting or standing in a particular position or even wearing tight clothing for too long. This puts pressure on nerves and blood vessels, reducing sensation" she confidently answered.

"Woah she's smart" Justin commented. And I heard a series of 'yeah' from the others.

"That could be just luck" I said to them.

Wither then glanced at us as if she heard us and smirked before she sat back down.

That smirk is undeniably hot...

"I still can't forget how Zach is roasted earlier" Wade suddenly said and then laughed.

" 'With all due respect Mr.President I also don't like adjusting for anyone. Especially if you're no one to me' -ooohhh" Hade added even imitating how Wither said those lines to me and laughed.

" 'I only asked you to reduce your use of the perfume. I didn't ask where it came from, nor do I care' -yow add ice to the burned area" Zach also imitated how Wither said that to me.

All of them then laughed, even the quiet Lucas laughed with them.

I rolled my eyes at them, and they laughed even more seeing my reaction.

I knew they'll tease me forever because of earlier's fight.I can't blame them, it's not everyday you see someone like me defied and roasted by someone. Much more by a girl.

"Yes? Boys at the back? You have something to say?" I glared at my friends as Sir.Nicho noticed us because of their noise.

Sir.Nicho is one of my favorite teachers here. He's not like the other teachers who're clearly afraid of me because they know I make sure they're fired if I don't like how they teach or if they do something wrong in class. It is because of that, that they never scold us. Even if we're so noisy here. Sir.Nicho however does not care and is not afraid of us. He knows what he's doing so he make sures he makes no mistakes and he's passion for teaching amazes me.

"None sir" I said to him.

"Okay then, Venice stand up please" Venice stood up hearing her name.

"What's a brain freeze?"

"U-uh sir… brain f-freeze is..uhmm" I softly clicked my tongue hearing her answer. She really just assumed to be the queen of this school. And student's are certainly a bunch of fools to let her do so and also follow her.

How can a queen be that stupid? She doesn't even know the answer or listens to the discussion.

I saw Sir. raise one his eyebrows at her.

"Looks like you're too busy noticing Wither that you didn't listen to me anymore?" he shook his head to her, clearly disappointed.

"Seat down" Venice quickly followed him.

------------

The bell rang signalling the end of class for lunch. Sapphire then quickly stood up and pulled me to the direction of the door. She's obviously in hurry making me frown.

"Sapphire" a male voice made both of us stop in our way outside. Both of us turned around and I saw the whole Grey Apcue looking at us. A particular boy that looks like a gangster with his few piercings and because of the vibe he shows off. I can also feel that he's strong.

"Let's talk" he said directing it to Sapphire. She closed her eyes a bit like she doesn't want to talk to him. Is he the reason why she's in a hurry?

Looks like they'll talk about something important so I tugged Sapphire's shirt a bit.

"Go" I said to her as she looks at me. Her eyes were filled with worry.

Is she worried about me?

I just shrugged my shoulders and left her there. I didn't hear her call me so I guess that's okay.

I put my hands inside my pockets and continued walking to nowhere...
