"New girl,are you sure you want to lose like this. I won't go easy on you" The annoying smirk on his face made her scowl in disgust, she hated it when he calls her New girl like she hadn't been here for a week now,like she hasn't managed to get the whole school to know her in just three days,that she hadn't managed to outdo him in the latest test they had and maybe that's what annoyed him. That a New girl didn't lick the floor he walked on and she had managed to be able to rule the school he had control over.
"I expect nothing less especially if i am about to beat your ass,Old boy" She winked at him and he turned his face away from her and face what they were about to compete with.
The students around them cheered loudly and she could hear that they were mostly cheering for him and only few people from her class whistled for her but she wasn't about to let that sway her from winning.
She was going to whoop his arrogant ass and make sure to send his flying from h8s high horse.
The students might like her but she knows where their loyalty lies,she didn't expect them to suddenly root for the girl that had just recently transferred to their schools than the old boss of the school. She hated the hierarchy and invisible rule all schools seems to have. That they all can't be equals but must have a leader,someone wealthier or someone prettier to have control over them. If it wasn't a handsome boy that happens to be rich,it would be a cheerleader that has a nice rack and everybody seems to see as a fucktoy and as a tool for their sexual fantasies. It was simply suffocating and irking.
She closed her eyes and exhaled "If you're going to faint,you might as well admit defeat now" His annoying voice made her snap her eyes open,she glared at him snd smirked,mirroring his own "Game on".
The school's arbiter states all the rules for the following match.
"3"
"2"
"1"
"Start"
The whole hall became silent leaving room for the students playing to think and play carefully. They even had to control their breathing in order not to distract them and make them engage in the wrong move.
"Your move" He said not staring at her but the board,so intently,his eyes moving across chess pieces trying to think of his possible course of actions or hers maybe.
His face was stoic and passive,not giving any trace of emotions. She wanted to know what he was thinking,when she plays Chess with her parents,she could always look at their faces and tell the next moves they were about to play but he...he was so good at hiding his.
She played slowly trying to spark any emotions "Your move".
This went on for about ten minutes until she saw an opening place for her and she'd have a Checkmate.
"Checkmate" The hall became quiet which was weird because it was already quiet but everywhere became void,as if no one was there and the air seem to still.
"Oh my"
"Did that just happened?"
"That was impossible"

Back to how it all started>>>
She was starting a new school today since her parents decided to move again, their job had them moving around the country,she was surprised they haven't left the county by now. This was her third school this year and it was only July,she didn't have much hope to having friends this time since she might leave anytime soon that she won't also be aware of.
The driver stopped in front of her new school,he rushed down and opened the door for her,she didn't like when he does that and had tried many times to dissuade him from doing so but he won't listen and it seems to have grown with her and she learnt to wait for him to come down first before he opens the door for him.
Staring at her was the name of the school "Brighton highschool".
She had done her research about the school and the people in it,people she won't want to involve in her life and people that might,well,have good impact to her future.
"Miss Kate..." Her driver called on her,she diverted her stare and saw him handing her, her backpack,she smiled and collected it "Thank you Mr John" He nodded at her "I'll be back at 3 waiting for you at this same spot ma'am".
She gave a small nod "Goodluck on your first day ma'am and goodbye" He waved and got into the car,driving off.
Kate's hands tightened on her back pack as she let out a low breath.
Third time's a charm.
She walked in confidently and sharply, dismissing the stares that comes her way,she was used to it in her other schools. Being the New girl and all and everybody's nosy stares at her.
However she thought this would be different since she was dressed in their uniform.
A white button down shirt,paired with their navy blue blazer and mini pleated skirt. Black shoes and white high knee socks to match. They all looked like k dramas highschool characters.
It was literally the same thing everyone has on but for the boys it was trousers of course.
Kate still couldn't understand what made her stand out that everyone couldn't stop staring. She brushed it off and tried to look for her class. She was a senior which she was glad for if she had not moved from two different schools just to finish high school.
Being a Junior was technically worse,she doesn't even want to think about the times they changed houses,if she didn't have home tutors, she'd have failed and be held back a year.
She checked the school map they had sent in advance and followed it to her class,she was just staring at the map and following it without staring ahead.
And because of her lack of concentration, she didn't quickly acknowledge the stairs in front of her,she took one small step and felt the air beneath her foot and knew something was wrong but it was too late,she fell down harshly,tumbling down the 15 or more stair steps.
Everyone gasps,Kate cheeks became hot,her body aching everywhere,she cursed lowly stared at the top of the stairs while dusting herself and standing upright.
Right at the top stood him,Evan Smith.
His face bare of any emotions,he stopped staring at her and walked downstairs brushing past her like she wasn't there.
It happened so fast and Kate couldn't react,only when he was gone to be seen by her did she realize what happened.
She had fell and he was behind her,he could have held her back pack and prevented her from falling but he had merely stared at her and watched her roll down the stairs. And she just had a brief encounter with the Evan Smith,the one she planned to avoid at all times.
Well at least this just proved her theory right,he was trouble. A proud and emotionless boy who doesn't care about the welfare of others but himself and he could also be called a narcissist.
She breath out and in,doing it twice. She walked downstairs ignoring the sting on her knee and arm and the stares of the students.
After following her map,she reached her class. She wasn't early as the teacher had already begun teaching and everyone was seated in class silent.
This day could not get any worse.
Thankfully,the teacher understood her and didn't ask any questions. She just assigned Kate an empty seat near the window,it was just two seats before the window.
Kate brought out her book and began paying attention to the class,her arm stinging while she wrote.
She might need to go to the nurse's office after class to get this checked out as soon as possible.
