CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

"Hi" she greeted nervously as she gently walked into the class.

"Why would everyone be staring at her that way?" She thought to herself.

"Miss you know it's not nice to barge into a class late" the teacher said and she gave an apologetic smile.

Oh no, this is not happening to her!

"May I know why you are late to my class miss" he demanded.

"I'm so sorry sir, I was looking for my class number and...

"Oh, you're a new student?" He asked and she nodded quickly.

"Alright I'm sorry, what's your name please?"

"I'm Ivy Crownway sir" she replied sharply.

"That's nice, have a seat close to Wendy" he said pointing at a blonde girl who wasn't looking friendly at all.

"Okay sir" she bowed slightly, and went to sit close to the Wendy girl.

"Hey scoot a little" she said harshly as Ivy sat close to her.

Ivy badly wanted to say something to her, but she's learnt her lesson already, so she quietly shifted a bit.

"So now let's continue our topic on the rising and falling of the economy" the teacher said, and continued teaching.

Ivy sat and began looking around, she was taking in the class until something caught her attention. Jeez! All the blood in her body stopped flowing instantly, immediately she saw that.

It was Chris, he was seated at the back and was staring directly at her. His eyes were so intimidating, and so she quickly looked away.

Chris was her f*cking classmate!

This is bad, like really bad, she felt like disappearing. So Chris was looking at her all this while. Wow! Just wow.

"Miss Crownway, it seems you're not interested in this class" mr Fred said, jolting her out of her thoughts.

Oh no! Not again. Why is he picking on her.

"I just said something, and the whole time I was teaching, you were busy staring at the back" he said and she blinked nervously.

"I understand all you were saying sir" she muttered.

"Oh, is that so?" He asked and she nodded.

She was a bit confident coz she had been thought this particular topic before at West High.

"So what is a Blockchain?" He asked firmly, and the whole class went silent immediately.

All eyes were on her including Chris. What if she fails this question, what would be her fate?

"I'm waiting" the teacher reminded, and she stood up and cleared her throat.

"A Blockchain is a database that stores encrypted blocks of data, then chains them together to form a chronological single source of truth for the data" she answered sharply, and the teacher was really amazed by her speech.

"Give us an attribute" he added.

"Digital assets are distributed instead of copied or transferred, creating an immutable records of asset" she answered again, and this time the teacher was dumbfounded at such intelligence.

"Wow Canice, it seems you have a competitor now" the teacher chuckled, and Canice scoffed.

"Wait Canice? Isn't that another member of the C4's, Davina's crush!" Ivy mumbled to herself.

He was said to be the most intelligent among the C4's. So why is mr Fred comparing her to Canice now, he wants to complicate things the more.

She gently turned back and found a handsome guy seated close to Chris, and she assumed that it was Canice.

All members of the C4's were really very handsome.

He was looking as expensive as Chris, and they sat very close to each other relaxing as if they didn't care about what was going on in the class, and the Canice guy was glaring daggers at her.

Oh wow! This is really bad.

"I must say that's impressive miss Ivy, I think I like you already. Sit" he said in a friendly tone.

"Thank you sir" Ivy said and forced a smile, then she took her seat.

The class continued, and the so called Wendy girl was busy stealing glances at her, she found it hard to take her eyes off Ivy.

"This is a battlefield and not a school" she thought to herself as she stared at the different classic and expensive faces.

"I miss my old school" she mumbled.

**************************************************

Soon, the bell rang, and the class was dismissed. It signifies the lunch break, and at that time so many students started trooping out.

Ivy remained in the class not knowing where to go, or what to do. She looked behind and found out that Chris and Canice were gone already, and then she could now breathe properly.

How could she be in the same class with those boys, how would she cope now? It would have been better if none of the C4's are close to her at all, Chris of all people.

She sighed and looked beside her, and she saw that her so called seat mate was with a guy, and they were doing something not so good. She looked at a corner and found two other students doing the same.

Kindly Hi Amazing Stories on zero nine zero seven four two nine two three four seven to join our story group

What! She should just focus on her phone, they sometimes do this at West High too. She would just have to bear.

She brought out her phone from her bag pack and started operating it, and just when she was starting to get entertained, she started hearing a lady's moan coming from one end of the class.

What!!!!!!!

She looked towards the direction and saw two students making out, she turned around and found up to three different set of students doing same, one of which were lesbians.

"God! Is this a school or a brothel. What is the meaning of this rubbish? Shouldn't they get an empty class, what if a teacher comes in here?" She was really surprised.

She tried her best to focus on her phone, but she could not. Coz of the annoying sounds coming from different corners.

"Maybe staying in the class was not a good idea after all" she mumbled as she took her bag pack and stood up.

Some students were still sitting in the class like her, doing nothing, but they did not even mind. But as for her, she just couldn't stay in a place like this.

She looked around one more time before quickly exiting the class.

God, what sort of students are these.

**************************************************

She walked out of the class and hung her bag pack around her shoulders, not knowing what to do, or where to go. And just then she remembered that Alvin had asked her to meet him up at lunch break.

But where? Where could he be, she had no idea. Then she thought of giving him a call, that would be easier.

She brought out her phone and dialed his number, but he wasn't picking up. She dialed again and again, but he still wasn't picking up.

"Way to go Alvin" she muttered and placed the phone at the corner of her bag pack, and then she started walking away, not even knowing where she was headed.

She walked out of the main building and stood at a corner. She was standing at the place where they had the party the other day, and she was having a view of the field.

Gosh! It was really large and beautiful, so many students were walking to and fro. Some of them were waking in pairs, twos, threes, and more, while some were walking alone.

Most of them had their lunch pack in their hands, and that was when she remembered she was f*cking starving. Alvin did not allow her have breakfast this morning, and now he's nowhere to be found.

She just wished she knew the way to the cafeteria. All the students here are so rude, they would not even answer a common greeting, how can they direct her to the cafeteria.

What will she do now????

She prayed someone would just appear now and come to her rescue.

And just as if her prayer was heard, a young beautiful female student who looked at about her age, walked up to her and tapped her shoulders.

"Hi, I'm Courtney" she smiled, and Ivy sighed in relief.
