Chapter 7

EMILIA'S POV

After school that day I had to stay extra hours with Nili and Eva in detention. If I had to do it alone, I would have been grateful but this two kept annoying me. They would rather take selfies and video calls all day.

Yesterday, the principal came to warn us that if we fail to clean and rearrange all the books in the library today, we are likely to come and finish it tomorrow which is Saturday. He said we need to start afresh chore by Monday and it is still not yet known by us.

I would glare at them and continue cleaning. I won't want to be here with them again tomorrow, I might lose it.

The books were much and mere looking at them you will know I can not do it all alone. My hands could not reach the top of the shelf and I kept piling the books so I would look for a ladder and put it up later.

"Where will you go today?" Nili asked.

It's obvious that they have forgotten about Gabby, the poor senseless girl that had been their friend. Although Gabby is not dead, at least not now so they can act like they don't care like fake friends they have always been.

"I don't think I will be out today night" Eva answered engrossed with whatever she was doing on her phone "My parents are around and I am grounded for days" she sounds disappointed.

At first, I wanted to pity her for I know what being grounded feels like. Especially when you have something fun you want to do like steal your father's best polo, stay in your room and watch Anime with your mother's laptop. I don't forget to make myself cheeseburgers or popcorn.

"Nigel would come over" Eva blushed "And we are going to have hot sex in my bedroom"

Ewwwwww!

I cringed. I felt like puking at their faces and walking away. Like who does that? Have sex in your parent's house? What does she want more? Her parents are so rich and she has everything she wants.

It was supposed to be none of my business but I discovered I had spent a lot of wasted time listening to them. It's was just so painful as I realized I had been cleaning an old history book for over five minutes while listening to their disgusting gossips.

"Bitch!" Nili squeaks "I bet he must be fucking gooooood" she stresses the last word.

Even when I felt too irritated to listen to them, I was over-anxious to see their faces and hear all of what they were saying as if I can now hear with my eyes. Slowly I turned to see Eva caressing her flat chest and making moaning sounds.

"Ewww!" I made an ugly face "Thats super disgusting" I blurted out before I could stop myself.

The look on Eva's face shows that she has had enough and would not take it anymore, she stoops to me, making pop sounds with her heel boot. The rage on her red face was more than funny until she got close to me and yelled, sending saliva all over my face.

"Don't waste your saliva, dear" I said calmly with a cute smile on my face, and my eyes closed.

For one glorious moment, I felt I had made it all until I heard my left earring followed by a stinging pain. I opened my surprised brown eyes to see Eva smirking with her hands folded under her flat chest.

Wrath!!!

I couldn't wait to think of what to do next as my chin still hurts, and it looks as if it had made my brain stop working. Unfortunately, the only the I was with is the old history textbook I was cleaning and I had no other choice than to do what I know how to do best with a history textbook.

I didn't hesitate, I slammed the book flat on her face. It did a very good job by taking off half of her makeup and sending her to the floor.

What's up with all these history books?!

She gave a breathtaking scream and I laughed, the look on my face could explain pure homicide. As I move closer to slam the book again on her face, she coiled and began to scream.

"That's enough, Emilia Johnson" I heard the principal say.

I froze, my face turning red as I dropped the book.

"Sir" I started "I can explain, She started it-"

Mr. Jared, the principal shush me with just the wave of his left hand, he walked to a chair in front of us and sat. After taking about a minute to adjust, he cleared his throat and pointed at me.

"Two more weeks" he started.

I felt my head grow bigger than my body as I fell to the ground, I placed my hands together and began to rub them.

"Please sir, this is the first detention in my entire life and my parent would ground me if it gets extended" I sniffed.

Mr. Jared's boring face was staring at Eva who was still pretending to cry, her left palm was on her forehead when the right sat on her flat chest.

"My head hurts" she whined.

"It should," Mr. Jared said dryly "I will watch the video before giving you both your next punishment" He stopped for a while then continued "Let's do it this way if you both know you are guilty, just pick up your stuff, go the classes and start cleaning! Or, you wait for me to watch the video and decide the worst fate"

Nili and Eva exchange looks, they held it for a while before turning back at the principal.

"We will clean the classes," they said in unison as they park their things.

"For two weeks" Mr. Jared added as the girls walked out disappointed, his bored gaze fell on me and I flinched "Don't worry, you won't be alone," he said.

He stood up, walked close to me, and began to survey what I have done.

"I see you won't be able to complete all this yourself so I brought you a senior companion that loves to break people just like you" He smiled then looked at a boy standing near the door "Anything you don't finish today will be done tomorrow and next week you both face the school lavatories"

I felt a bit of relief as I stared at the boy, at least I am sure we would finish the work today. I didn't care more to look at his face that was hidden under his scattered hair, all I can see is the bridge of his pointed nose.

"Devin Johnson, meet Emilia Johnson," Mr. Jared said, his bored face lit as a bright smile appeared in his face "Such a lovely connection!" He exclaimed "The same Last name and the same hobby! Make sure you don't break each other"

Mr. Jared added before he straightened his clothes, and head for the door.

I remain still watching the strange fighter as he raised his head slowly, it was extremely slow that I wanted to rush to him and force his head up. I rolled my eyes as he finally revealed his face then I gasped!

It was the scary-looking guy with grey eyes I saw earlier this week.
