Chapter 2: Mission 001

“Wait, I wasn’t done talking. Okay. See ya tomorrow.”

“My God, he is sure a loquacious.” I whispered to myself. Giving I wasn’t the talk too much type, I found Liam as a loquacious.

I was about walking out of the classroom when I saw some girls staring at me. I didn’t bother giving I don’t want to lose Skylar at this moment so I ignored them.

“Who the heck is she?” Alice asked taking to her friends.

“She is a transferred student all the ways from the United Kingdom.” Eleanor said mockingly.

“Did you saw the way she acted when she saw Skylar earlier, like she wanted to bite him? Eve added.

“That’s normal Eve. Skylar is the rich popular guy everyone knows and most importantly, he’s a handsome dude. I feel like biting him too at times.” Eleanor said.

Alice look at Eleanor with an eyes saying “Don’t you even think about it bitch, he’s mine and mine alone”. Eleanor notices Alice. “Don’t look at me that way, I was joking girl.”

She returns her gaze to her previous position. “What gives her the guts to sit closer to my Skylar?” Alice said.

“You shouldn’t be worry about her sitting closer to Skylar.” Eleanor said bringing out her phone from her backpack.

“Why?” Eve asked.

“Are you seriously asking me why? Can’t you see for yourself?”

“How do you mean?” Alice asked

“C’mon girls, she is definitely and can never be Skylar ideal kinds of lady. I mean, take a good view at her, she look awful with the glasses.”

“I guess you right thou.”

“Of course girl, I’m always right, so ease your worried heart okay.”

“Sure.”

*****

I got back home late. I was freaking tired. I tried following Skylar earlier but he was driving in his car while I was only riding on my bike so I lost him.

I went to my fridge and get a cold bottle of my favorite drink. “Blood red juice.” I turn some into a cup and drink it.

I place it back in the fridge, walk to my room and jump on my bed. I exhale tiredly.

“I’m just getting started and I feel sick about this already. It not likes it my first time being on an assignment like this, so why am I having this acrid feelings.”

I stand up and went to the mirror. I was looking really different. I look another deep breath and I went back to my bed.

*****

Brrring….brrring…..my alarm keeps ringing. I roll to the other said of the bed and hit the clock off. I reach for my phone, took it and cover my head with my duvet together with my phone. I turn on the phone wanting to see if I have any message when my eyes sight with the time. I remove the duvet from my head and sit up immediately. I look at the clock resting on the left side of my wall to confirm if my phone was correct and the clock was reading the same with my phone time.

“8:13am!” I screamed. I quickly run out of the room to the bathroom. I took my bath and got dress. I transform into my disguised look, pick up my bag and run out.

I walk into the class. At this time, it was already fourteen minutes to ten. My apartment was a bit afield from my school. I purposely choose that apartment and location for some certain reason actually.

As I walk into the class, everybody gaze was focus on me. I ignored them and walk to desk.

I noticed Skylar was not in class yet.

“Hey Keisha, why so late to school?” Liam asked.

“I didn’t wake up on time.”

“Why? You went clubbing all night yesterday? Was it fun?” He said jokingly but it definitely doesn’t seem like a joke to me.

I look at him and the look in my eyes could tell I wasn’t please with what he said. “Liam, are you always like this?”

“How do you mean?”

“Do you always talk so much like this? Can’t you just shut up and think positive of your life instead of being a loquacious.”

“Sorry.” He apologize feeling embarrassed.

“I look away not given a damn on how my words made him feel. Then my eyes sight meet with the girls I saw before leaving the class yesterday. Now I know I needed Liam.

I turn backed to him. “Liam, I’m sorry about my words. I was actually going through a lot.”

“I was just joking. Why did you have to say such hurtful words to me?”

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine.”

“It’s fine?” I asked surprise. I wasn’t expecting him to say that at least not now.

“Yeah, it’s friend. We are friends now right?”

“Sure. Liam, do you know those girls?” I look to their direction.

“You mean Alice, Eve and Eleanor?”

I nodded.

“Sure. They are the Q’s three. The class bullies. Alice and Skylar are” he turns two of his finger into a heart shape at me.

“Dating?”

“Yeah, being the proudly school bullies of king’s high, nobody has been able to overcome them. They are rich and the rich does anything, everything they wish to do. They oppress most especially the poor kids.”

“But I don’t think the poor can afford here.”

“They are on Scholarships”

“Oh, right.”

“Why do you ask about them anyways?”

“I saw them stare at me yesterday.”

“I noticed that too when you were answering the question. Guess what, she hates it when someone answer question correctly. She wants everybody to be as empty headed as she and her gangs are.”

“Can I ask you another question?”

“Sure.”

“Have you been I victim before?”

“No. he answered almost immediately. He turns his head forward. Why asked?”

“Nothing”

Liam then looks at them. “I guess they are calling you.”

I looked at them. They give me a one finger signal of “come here bitch.” I wanted to hear what they are going to say so I went to them.

“Hi, you’re the new girl right?” Alice asked.

“Yeah”

“I’m Alice, She is Eleanor and Evelyn and you are?” Alice introduced.

I wanted to say something else but I decided to wait and see where they are heading to.
