Chapter 17: The New Boss

What to do next?

Next morning when I woke up, I still had the same anger I had yesterday. I remembered every single word in the newspaper. I got out of bed.

The wake up mode automatically turned on...

The fresh sunlight coming from outside through the windows made my skin glisten and glow. The music playing in background made me as calm as possible for now.

I took a bath and got ready. I was in a long black t-shirt with dark blue jeans. it was more of a ordinary look but these were branded clothes.

As I walked into the school campus, all the students were looking at me. Every single eye was staring straight at me and mouth gossiping about me.

But it wasn't that I cared. I went straight to class. I was early and only one more student was there. She was sitting at the last desk.

She was beautiful but probably shy. She stood up as I entered. She wanted to ask me something but didn't because she thought that I was busy.

I noticed her and called her over. At the same time Mafia came in. She was going to say something but I signalled her to stop.

The other girl beside me was surprised. She thought that I was probably gonna talk to Mafia and ignore her. Mafia also had the same expression.

However I was expressionless. I told Mafia to sit and signalled the girl to speak. She started speaking but I didn't move my eyes from my phone.

Old Sapphire is back!!

The girl introduced herself as Yu Yan and said that she was from china. She was transferred to this school as her mother also got a transfer due to her job.

She was unable to speak further because Mafia was staring her continuously. So, I asked her to join me in cafeteria for dinner tonight.

She agreed...

Yu Yan was going back at her seat. I told her to join me and sit on the bench behind mine. She reluctantly agreed.

Just then our old friend Venessa came in. How would my day go by without her. She came and blocked Yu Yan's way.

Ria who was standing at the door and calling someone quickly hung up and came up to me. She was wearing a yellow t- shirt and black jeans.

I signalled her with my eyes and she knew what I wanted...

Ria came in between Yu Yan and Venessa. She warned Venessa. When Venessa ignored her, she pushed aside her school jacket revealing a gun.

Venessa was startled and moved aside. The other girls beside her followed. Yu Yan sat on the desk behind mine and Ria sat beside her.

Yu Yan thanked Ria.

"Don't thank me.. thank my boss" said Ria with a smile and opened her phone and started installing all the things about the school like the forrum .

"Mam, have you installed the forum" Ria added trying to signal Yu Yan that who was her boss.

"No, here..install on mine too" I said to Ria.

Yu Yan understood what Ria meant. She thanked me for helping. I said that's what friends are for. Yu Yan blushed slightly. She had never heard anyone call her a friend.

Venessa who was just somewhat far away from them was boiling up with jealousy. She was the school queen earlier and the richest too with all eyes on her.

But now she was neither. No one didn't even pay any attention towards her. Moreover, they even disobeyed her orders.

She was no longer the powerful one also, atleast not infront of me...

Most people in the school knew me as a school queen or as the the person who went against the evil Venessa.

Soon everyone in the school knew me by name and knew that I had power...

The classes were going on. I paid as much as attention I could have but the the death of my mom and was going infront of my mind on replay.

It was the break and some were already out for lunch. Due to practice rehersals of the talent show the further classes had been cancelled for the day.

Mafia asked me for having lunch together but I declined and said that I had to meet some old friend. I insisted Ria and Yu Yan to join her.

Ria didn't wanted to go without me. I sent her a text [ It is a Night Business ] and knew why I was insisting. They were all going to go but saw Principal Sao enter the classroom.

They stayed to see what will happen. So far only Principal Sao, Ria, AVA and Zander knew about my dad's death.

Principal Sao entered. Everyone stood up to greet him but I had my head tucked under my elbows and didn't notice him.

I was crying silent tears in my mind.

Venessa grinned and thought that I was in trouble. So did the others but they didn't even excepted him to come. He was very busy and an important person in England.

Principal Sao tapped on my back gently. I took some while but stood up. He knew how I was feeling and needed support.

I stood up and he greeted me. All were amazed by this sight. They didn't know that this will go the other way around.

He asked me how was I doing and I said that "I am fine" and sat down. Other students were still standing. He said that if I needed anything I could come to him.

He also said that he needed to talk to me about some personal matter and needed my advice. Everyone was shocked.

A grown up asking a kid for an advice...

That too on a personal matter...

I agreed to help him out and told him that I'll be going to meet an old friend today so might be a little late for the practice rehersals.

Principal Sao said not to worry and that he'll tell Zander.

Again a moment of surprise...A high school girl knows the Prince.

As he left, everyone sat down. Mafia and the others also went. Ria wasn't surprised but others were. Ria said that this is nothing and her boss even knows the Queen.

She said it a little loud and some students near the classroom door heard it.

Everyone's jaw dropped....
