Chapter 5

The students chatered, they were all hyped as they all could not wait to meet their friends but for some, it was unfortunate that school even started as they now need to start studying and doing homeworks

The atmosphere was light, the hallway almost full with students in their uniforms which consisted of grey pants and a dark blue blazer with a white shirt underneath it.Among the students standing on the hallway talking were Otto and Kevin with their other friend group

It wasn't always to see Otto smiling and laughing. His hair tied with a rubber band

The windows of the classroom were open so that all the classrooms could be fresh before the classes started,

Each student wore uniforms, but definitely, they had different uniforms. Some wearing the uniforms worn when they there is physical education—black pants or shorts with a marron colored shirt.

Esta had p.e in the first day of school, she really disliked P.E in the winters and it was not because she hates sports but because she feels cold.

Wearing pants underneath her skirt because she wouldn't want to change later, almost every girl in the class followed that

She only started doing it because she realised they were allowed to when another girl in her class was wearing skirt with the pants underneath

Dozzing off as she put her head on the table, her hands on the table aswell. Her friends besides her didn't wake her up

Who would want to wake their friend up when they obviously look tired—but that wasn't the case for Esta, she had gotten 12 hours of sleep with a good breakfast and was not tired at all! she was simply sleepy

She had a short dream, she was shoplifting. Flinching and walking up as she was pushed off a cliff? 'huh, how did I go from city to forest...? wait what' she frowned, she immediately forgot about the dream

'Rest now my child' a girl with a messy bun spoke as she placed her right hand's palm on her chest, accessories in her raven hair as some on her shoulders—it was falling

Another friend of hers who had tawny hair sighed, one that was besides her. With a brown scarf around her neck, she turned to look at Esta 'Are you sleepy because you slept late or is it because you slept so long that you want to sleep again.'

A notebook in her hand with her name written on it with a coral colored pen Camelia. The notebook had a few stickers sticked to it, one that said 'Violence is a question, and the answer is yes'

"Gurl... I have no idea, but note that I got 12 hours of sleep, proper breakfast." She responded as she stretched her back and arms. It's a daily routine of hers to stretch after waking up from a nap

Blinking as she stared at her friends blankly, before she snapped and smiled casually

Camelia squinted her eyes as she starred at Esta before speaking again "Well damn, I think it's cuz you slept too well"

The tawny hair rubbed her ears, "Noise pollution is too much." She complained, the guys were just so loud it irritated her ears

"Just like mosquitos to the ears" Esta nodded, understanding Ayinla's annoyance. She had a few small stickers to her face, the majority being on her cheeks

"So, where'd you rubber band go?"

"Real, the discipline monitors will lecture you... I'm scared for you, I'll ask for rubber bands? I forgot to bring an extra"

"It's alright Ayin, almost all the girls, by that I mean in the whole school, they have their hairs untied." She shrugged her shoulders, it wasn't a big deal, she never actually ties her hair since it gives her hair a weird shape

Camelia pouted as she tilted her head thinking of what to talk about, she widened her eyes as she slammed her book on the table "P.E, I really hate it. Like HATE HATE, the teacher acts like he has never talked to a woman in his entire life"

"Oh my goodness exactly gurl, in his entire 36 years of being alive. I'm sure he didn't even get to touch a woman in his life"

"Forget touch, I bet he never saw a woman, like the way he just stares at girls is so 'eugh' like he gives that vibe! That weird vibe you know? Uh, that one...? Yeah that one? huh-"

Esta nodded, "Exactly" The two said in sync as they agreed with Ayin's words.

"And I will tell you, he never looks at a girl's eyes when speaking, you know where he looks?" Camelia asked as she crossed her arms, lifting her chin slightly

"The breasts"

"The watermelons"

Esta glanced at Ayinla's answer for breasts as 'watermelons' she wanted to just... "You can just say boobs or breasts Ayin, no one will judge"

She dropped a sweat as she awkwardly smiled at that comment, averting her gaze "Is it?"

"Yes girlie, you take science, and to be specific it's biology." Camelia pointed it out, standing up from the seat and taking her book

"Eh? Going already?" The two whined as they held different parts of her, Ayin holding her legs as she sobs to her friend who is about to go back to her own classroom

Her arms hugged by Esta who was suddenly on the table "Noooo... there's still a minute left" She sighed, knowing that Camelia will have to go

The two expressed that they didn't want Camelia to go. "We'll still be meeting for lunch and you know where, the usual." She winked at her friends as she slipped out of their hold

Sending them a flying kiss, Esta pretended to fall, one hand on her chest while the other reached out for her

Ayin had the back of her palm on her forehead, throwing her head back

The moment was ruined by the bell ringing and a classmate bumping into Ayin's head which made her annoyed and stand up

Grabbing the girl's sleeve as she forced the girl to apologise as the bump left her neck aching

"Well damn girl, chill, she doesn't know she bumped to you" A light laugh escaped Esta's mouth as she sat back down on her seat. "Let's try being kinder this year"

The apologized confused, she didn't even know that she had bumped into Ayin, poor girl

Ayin's expression changed as she smiled and tapped on the newcomers shoulder and nodded. Letting her go as she turned around to sit next to Esta

"Still... you would've done wrose but yes you're right, we should try being kinder since it's a new year" She leaned on Esta as she put one hand over her shoulder, humming a song with Esta tapping on the table

There were still chattering, students were noisy and the age doesn't matter when it comes to that.

Few of the students having a friendly argument with eachother about their seats, some wanting to sit next to their other friends

"... do you think we'll have class today? It's the first day afterall" Ayin asked as she sat up straight and looked at Esta who was fishing through her bag for her pen

"I guess not? But we still might have maths and chemistry" She yawned with her mouth closed, letting the sigh out with her mouth slightly apart

The teacher entered the classroom with a cup of coffee in his hands 'Good morning students' his shirt having a photoshopped picture of him on a sunflower

The students all stood up and wished the teacher, it may not have been in sync but atleast they wished him goodmorning

'Good morning to you all, sit down' He nodded, observing the class. Counting the students in his head to see if all 30 students are present for the first day

The chattering began again.

"Free class but make sure the noise doesn't go out of this classroom." The teacher informed, he didn't say music because their chattering is not pleasent to the ears at all

Esta and Ayin looked at eachother, with the same question in mind 'The stickers are safe? did he not see us?' they asked but just shrugged looking at eachother

The sticker wasn't the big deal, it was the hair. Many girls had their hair open with a few boys hair overgrown

"Boys, cut your hair by tomorrow and girls tie tour hair" he pointed out, warning his students. Not that he cared about their uniforms or hair, but it was the discipline monitors who will say it's the biggest deal ever

And in the end of the day even he'll get some few lecture for not being strict with his students

"I don't want to see any of you getting scolded on the first day ok?" He crossed his arms as he sat down on his chair, leaning back as his massaged his back

A group of five girls walked up to him, wasn't expecting that amount of girls "What'd you want? huh, go." He shook his head

The girls just stood there, they looked at eachother not knowing whether he was telling them to go back to their seat or to go out to the washroom

"... Go go, washroom?"

Two of the girls nodded as they giggled and ran out, to the washroom. The teacher still doesn't get why girls like to go to the bathroom together

As the girls left, he let out a quiet sigh before he went through his book. Looking at the chapters they have to complete before the finals start

The student 'sleeping' behind Esta and Ayin heard their gossipings, she was intentionally listening to them while pretending to be asleep

"And... don't tell anyone but I heard those moans and heavy breathing when I stood near the bathroom's last stall..!" Esta whispered to Ayin with the back of her palm covering her mouth as Ayin leaned in to listen

"H-huh, really? That's so inappropriate, whoever it was, they'll suffer in college." Ayin shook her head as she hugged her arms "Any idea who that can be?"

The girls ear became bigger as she smiled behind her arms,

"It might be Sahria from the other section because she's getting too intimate with her boyfriend" Esta quietly giggled, looking at the girl sitting behind them. She knew that she was listening to the conversation

"Yeah, even in insta she keeps on talking about him and in her notes she's always fighting this imaginary person who keeps on trying to 'steal' her boyfriend"

"She might even be mentally ill... and in snapchat, she keeps on speaking about how her boyfriend is distancing himself from her, because of that she might be trying to get extra with him"

The girl gasped but just pretended that she was having a nightmare by breathing heavily and wiping her sweat. Giving no glance at the two, just at her table as she rubbed her forehead and drifted back to 'sleep'

A giggle left Ayin's mouth, writing on her hand 'If Lia was here, she would've scolded us for doing this' before she hid it with her jackets sleeve

"You might be right, she has always been like that... a people pleaser, was it? Pleaser right?"

She nodded at Ayin's question, saying that she's correct, Sahria is a people pleaser "Someone who is mentally ill... she might have abandonment issues when looking at her personality... She might've seduced and forced Toika to be her boyfriend..!"

She fake galsed as she listened to Esta's words and quickly whispered back "I didn't even think of that seducing part" She exhaled crossing her arms

"Mhm, and that must be why she did it with him so he would leave her... she's really manipulative, a wolf in sheeps clothing."

The girl glanced at the two with a small gap between her arms and her head, she was quiet in class although attentive to questions, she's the last one to be expected as the one who started rumours or the gossips

Rumours about anything, teachers, students or even the principal, she's the last one to expect as she's kind and sweet outside while in the insides she actually loves spreading rumours and loves to gossip
