Chapter 2 Not an easy target!

Ocean's Pov.

At least with my sudden out burst no one would think of crossing my paths most especially that annoying little girl that said those rubbish words. They must think I'm easy going because of my calm demeanor.

I walked straight to the cafeteria thanks to my map. As soon as I walked in all the voices shut down instantly as heads turned towards me. Most of them were admiringly staring at me while others held dogust and comtempt in their eyes. I don't give a damn about their thoughts about me besides I'm not a people pleaser. I headed to the serving area and picked a few dishes and side dishes and went for a vacant table. Soon the noise began again. I noticed Jasmine and Desmond who tried talking to me earlier in the class before my sudden outburst leave their tables and walked towards me.

"Can we joined you?" Jasmine asked politely but before I could respond Desmond quickly added:

"We don't want you feeling left out and alone".

"Sure, why would I refuse you both?" I said with a charming smile.

"Well you know that girl's name is Sandra". Desmond said his tone showed how he clearly despised the her. I knew clearly whom he was referring to but I decided to play dumb.

" Who?"

"The one spoke like a brainless chicken in class. I really loved how you slapped her. She is so annoying and most of the class doesn't like her". Jasmine said. I just smiled again as I looked in her direction to see her glaring at me. I even overhead someone saying she ran to the bathroom to cry and had to put ice packs on it to reduce the pain.

My palms are not soft like most girls. It's something I inherited from my dad so I won't be surprised if she went through all those because of one slap. At least she would learn to control her tongue in future.

"Ocean so what are you doing after school today?" Desmond asked jolting me back from my thoughts.

" Would you like to hang out with Jasmine and I?".

" Hmm I'm not really sure if I'll be chanced".

" Okay then let's all exchange contacts so you could communicate with us and let us know when you won't be busy". Jasmine said as she handed me her phone. We exchanged contacts and continued our chat as Desmond eagerly filled me on what has been happening in the past before I joined.

"There was even a day when one of our female teachers tried hitting on a senior in year two! It was a really big scandal. The student involved told the teacher that he wasn't interested but she refused to listen then one day she send him nude photos of herself! The poor guy couldn't handle it anymore and immediately reported to our principal. The teacher got fired immediately and warned is not to spread the news out most especially to our parents".

I stared at him in disbelief. I couldn't imagine how embarrassing it was for the female teacher.

"Wow your school is really something. I can't believe it one bit". I said covering my mouth.

"Well it's actually true. It happened in our third year in junior high". I gasped at Jasmine's words. It wasn't even a long time ago.

Soon the bells rang as lunch break came to an end and all the students dispersed to their various classes.

Inside the classroom I noticed Sandra had stylishly set out her foot for me to stumble upon so I decided to play along. From the corner of my eyes I could see her trying to hide her wicked smile.

I walked forward and intentionally stepped on her feet with a lot of force and headed to my seat.

She screamed in pain trying to attract the attention of the other students but as everyone turnedost of them didn't even glance at her twice before continuing in their previous actions. She then stood up to face me shouting at the top of her lungs.

"Ocean! Why did you step on me? How dare you! This time I didn't provoke you yet you won't let me be".

As soon as the words came out the students gathered to watch the scene unfold. I didn't want to entertain all this ruckus as I don't want my mood getting soiled by a lunatic. I kept quiet acting like no one was present. Soon Sandra's two minions, Mika and Sunny came to make the situation worse. Mika hits her hand on my table making me to look up at her and giving her a cold smile. She shuddered a little and spoke in defense of her friend.

"Apologize to Sandra right now else..."

"Else what will happen?" I asked standing up from my seat making the girls unconsciously step back.

" Now get out of my sight before I give you three tight slaps".

But the rest of the class began grumbling amongst themselves.

" Yeah Ocean needs to apologize besides your a new student. You don't need to cause all this fuss" someone said from the back. How I hate crazy people.

" Sandra you want me to apologize?". I asked her casting her a knowing glance. She subconsciously touched her cheeks recalling what happened in the morning.

" Um... This... This is no big deal". Sandra stuttered.

"Oh no big deal. Well would you like to tell to the class why I stepped on you?" I said with a smirk playing my lips as I raised my hands in the air signalling that a slap is on its way.

"Well... I... I..."

"You what?" Someone shouted already getting impatient.

"l... I tried to get back at Ocean by setting out my foot to make her trip and fall flat on her face. Besides she deserves it". Sandra shouted back.

"Sandra you should know who you are dealing with" I said smiling at her. I sat down and everyone immediately tired to Sandra shaking their heads in disapproval. Mika and Sunny lead their boss to her seat offering her words of comfort.

A few minutes later their Biology tutor Mr. James walked in and began teaching. He already knew Ocean as she had gone to the staff room to get her school schedule so she had already introduce herself to the teachers.

After school Ocean quickly took the bus home not bothering to wait for Jasmine and Desmond.

"Dad I'm home!".

"My little darling is back. How was school today?"

"Dad I had a good day at school today but I miss my previous one"

My dad sighed heavily as he touched my cheeks.

"Don't worries my princess you will get used to it okay?".

" Yes daddy". I said Ias I walked towards my room to shower.

I had just finished in the bathroom when I saw my immediate elder sister Mabel on my bed. We were really close that we didn't keep secrets. She knew how I was entirely different when outside but very calm and spoiled at home.

She then winked at me.

" Come and tell big sister what happened at school today. I know you caused some trouble ". I laughed heartily as I narrated the event that happened at school.

"That's my girl, no one can dare bully you and get away with it".
