"And really, am I your friend? Because friends don't steal from each other." I got closer to them in slow steps and I took my bag from Dalia. "You know if it was back in my time, I would've ripped your arms off and stuffed them down your throats and made you walk around with them, considering you are alive by the time I'm done with you. But alas, that time is long past so I am forced to solve this squabble with words and I really wish I could say something nice but you guys are nothing but sore losers if you think this is the best way to recruit someone. You think you know a lot but in actual fact you don't, and you like flashing yourselves a lot as if you some commercial that wants to be seen by everyone, but you're not attractive even in the slightest, none of you are. You're all hypocrites you lie to each other and to yourselves. You know maybe if you guys we're more exciting I would have considered joining you guys but unfortunately you're deceitful devils and really it's disgusting. Don't ever mistake someone's charity for friendship because we were never friends, so from now on consider yourselves as my foes because the next time you pull something like this I will not hesitate, you will suffer my wrath." I felt my glow's intensity rise and my vision turned red for a second and went back to its perfect clear. I saw the girls flinch in fear and take some steps back.
I felt a part of me prepare to spread some fear in them. I could've cared less about them taking my back pack but Manda was another subject. No one was allowed to mess with her on my watch and I didn't care if it made me look like the bad guy but if protecting her was going to paint me that way then it was worth it. I felt my hands itch as my glow started radiating fear but before I could do anything Barbara took my hand and I forgot about all I was about to do at that moment and focused on her. "Kyle class is this way." she said pointing behind her. I jerked my head to the side and she led me as I turned. I shut all my senses and we walked in silence. We turned left and reached my locker.
I found it funny that every corridor here would eventually take me to my locker. I opened it and to my unexpected surprise I found a pile of neatly packed books inside. "Take your ICT book." said Barbara
"What on Krod is ICT?" I asked her with a blank look on my face.
"What is Krod?" she asked me back
"Krod is short for Krodelia, Krodelia is more of a planet like earth, only bigger because of all the pockets in it for the thriving of life. It is the biggest off all since it contains all the planets in your solar system. You call it the universe we call it Krodelia; in short that is my home."
"Okay ICT is short for Information Communication and Technology; in short it is where they teach you more about our technology."
"I will be learning about your technology?" I asked her.
"Yes. Fun isn't it?" She said in an excited tone.
"Maybe a little bit." I replied
"Come on don't put on the boring look it's going to be fun." she assured me.
Honestly, I felt like it would be boring and I detest boring stuff but I just decided to trust her. She walked me to class which was a storey above us. I got in and found a lot of people settled inside Manda was also there but at the back. Barbara realized that I had seen Manda at the back and she said
"Don't!"
But I was already on my way to the back. I sat next to her as the door opened and a woman walked in. She started chatting with Barbara like they are old friends who have not seen each other in a long time. I assumed the woman was our lecturer.
"I'm starting to think that maybe you are stalking me" said Manda to me
“I'm just trying to be nice you know but if you feel like I'm being a stalker then I could just go away- I replied.
Come on, she explained, I was just trying to make a joke.
I kind of envied the way she quickly tried to get a handle on the situation given the fact that I knew she was joking. I just wanted to see her reaction.
Actually, you didn't let me finish. I paused, “I was going to say I can go away and then stalk you even more. and this time she actually laughed and people turned to look at us. I told her to lower her voice with a finger on my mouth before the Miss could mark us as troublemakers.
Now then students, for those who do not know me, my name is Kendra sergeant I will be your replacement lecturer for this subject. Your beloved lecturer is on leave for the next couple of months. So, until he comes back I will be taking over. Now if you would kindly open your books to whichever page talks about web pages. I think it is high time you learned how to create a web page. As soon as she finished talking everyone pulled out their books and started paging to the requested section.
I on the other hand was just sitting there and watching everyone flip pages. Most people were bugged by my behavior but honestly I didnt even care. As the lecturer was instructing us I followed her commands and I did not have a hard time. I did however feel bored in no time. There was nothing challenging about creating a web page. The coding was simple and straight forward. And while some of the students were having some challenges, I was cruising through the whole thing like it was a walk in the park.
The lesson took longer than I would have liked and I was eager to get out of it, especially because I was already drawing unwanted attention to myself.
