"That will be it for today's class, I expect all those assignments forwarded to my email by 11am Monday morning, " said Mrs. Mars while wrapping up the class earning a couple of yes' from her students .

"And yes..Ivory!.." she called out causing everyone to be alert . Everyone was interested in knowing what awaited her since not every one was fond of her . Some might say its hate but it was just pure envy and jealousy from a couple of student who seemed to be just around the corner awaiting her downfall . Others loved her and admired her, everything associating her was goals for them. They just felt a little sorry if she ended up getting punished this time around.

"Yes Mrs. Mars, "..she replied looking at her with a smile on her face .

" Come to my office after your lunch. We'll talk into details then," she said while holding her books then left soon afterwards leaving some of the students astonished as they expected her to spell out the punishment or whatever it was to be said before them.

As soon as Mrs. Mars left the classroom, students began chattering among themselves as usual.

Suddenly Nina out of nowhere appeared before Ivory and "bang!!" she banged her desk startling her yet again. Some of their class mates turned to look at them but Nina gave them a meaningful glare causing them to immediately snap their heads the opposite direction.

If one could describe Nina with one word , then it would have been 'no_nonsense' type of girl. She was dooms day to whoever crossed her or her best friend. She was the sole reason until now that Ivory never experienced bullying from all her 'enemies' .

All those who dared experienced hell and above . She protected her day and night, with or without her knowledge.

Nina just instinctively developed a sense of caring and protection towards her since they first met and became friends because she grew up with a household of brothers who had her back all the time and thus she just loved the idea of having a younger sister and protecting her all the time , even though their age gap was only a year apart.

"Whats up with you , mind my heart girll!" Ivory complained with her hands on her chest checking her heart dramatically causing Nina to pout her lips.

" I just love startling you...if not you who else..." She interjected using her guilty trick card on Ivory.

"Okey , okey , lets go have lunch , am starving, stop fooling around," said Ivory causing Nina to burst into laughter . Her actions left Ivory agast not knowing what caused her outburst.

"If i may ask , whats funny !" she asked with a confused expression causing Nina to cut short her laughter.

"Its nothing sweetheart , its just a memory that was quite funny got triggered with your words . Alright , up we go..,"Nina said while pulling her over and hooking their elbows together afterwards picking her bag then walking leisurely towards the door to exit the class room.

"That Ivory thinks shes better than us just because she has her guardian angel with her," said Annalisa to her squad at the furthest corner of the classroom. Her voice was filled with distaste and malice totally contradicting her angel like appearence.

Annalisa was one of those girls with a privileged background. Everything she wanted she got at the snap her fingers.

She was a really beautiful blonde girl with clear white skin and a very innocent smile . But her heart was pure dark filled with envy towards the one person she considered as her arche enemy. She hated Ivory to the core and despised her more because of the fact that she always had Nina around to protect and save her from her schemes.

"yea...just wait Lisa , one day we are going to have her just where we want her and we are going to give her the most fatal blow that will destroy her life for good. Just. You .Wait, " said Isabella Lisa's best friend while stressing out the final words . They were two human beings cut from the same cloth . Bad news disguised as Angels .

"Mhhhhh... tik ! tok ! ,time is ticking Ivory , time is ticking...." said Lisa with her eyes stuck at the door where Ivory and Nina just exited, and just then , both of them burst into laughter filled with nothing but pure evil.

"hahaahahahaahaahhahah!"

Their laughter roared in the classroom causing the remaining students to feel chills running down their spine.

Meanwhile at the cafeteria, both Nina and Ivory were in queu while chatting casually.

" By the way , Chibae! " called out Nina .

" Yes sissy!..sup" Nina replied while picking her lunck drink and getting served.

"I've been thinking, since we only have three months to go till our final exams and both you and i have literally cleared 90% of our course work , shouldn't we go get the bonus University entry course. Reme-" said Ivory with sparks in her eyes and enthusiasm.

She was one that never left any stone unturned when it came to excellence in her academics. But before even she could finish voicing out her though, Nina cut her short.

"shiiiiiiiiiiiiishhhh little missy! hold your horses ," she exclaimed while raising her brow and the side of her deliquetly thin red lips looking like didnt expect her words .

Ivory expected her sudden outburst and just smiled while walking calmly to one of the benches and sat down opposite Nina.

" Ivory!!! doesn't your brain think of anything else apart from your paint brushes and books . " Nina asked looking intently in her eyes with wonder and amusement.

" Nina , its not a big deal, you and i will ace it like we always do, dont stress it ," she replied with a sweet smile showcasing her beautiful set of white teeth to Nina who was currently dipping her fries in the mayonnaise.

" Thats without a doubt, but still , what are your plans after the final exams . And yes i know , obviously joining University is your go to step....i mean even without the exam , your current points are 86% worth the test, you will join either way. You only need 20% or even lessà to be among the first honour students in the entire country...."Nina said while gulping her drink while looking intently at her.

"...other plans like love , boyfrie-" continued Nina with a meaningful smile on her face .She has always know that this little sissy of her's just never entertained such thoughts but she never seized an opportunity to tease her .

Ivory was one that was never interested in relationships and boys . Not that they dont come at her , they always arrive like plagues which she avoids with stern expressions asap. Coming from a less privileged home and raised by a single mother whom shes seen work day and night for her sake in her little bakery which she managed to set up from blood and sweat .She couldn't help but grow up with one goal of relieving her mum from all the hardships of life. Boys were not in her current vocubulary thats why she decided to apply for her scholarship at Jupiter Girls Highschool and successfully got accepted with all her academic expenses catered for. Just because it was one of the best girl's boarding schools to save her from all the hustle of dealing with boys.
