Chapter 004

Elara got to her hostel. Nobody was in the room, finally she could have some peace to herself. She immediately bounced on the bed with her uniform flinging her both legs in the air to pull off her shoes. Breathing a breathe of relief at least for now.

Later on, she was able to sleep for sometime. Her sleep was disrupted by the noise come from Mie and her friends, she squinch her eyes as she stood.

"Ohh we so sorry for disrupting your sleep. You look worn out, are you okay?" Mie apologizes. She nodded, Elara was not fully awake at that time.

"Ela, would you love to go for a party?. One of the elite is having a birthday party, it is going to be lit" Elara would have love a distraction right now but the word 'Elite' rings a horrible bell in her head and the fear of going out again to fall victim of another tragic scene.

"Elara, sit your ass down!" Elara's intrusive thought.

"No, Mie, I am having migraine..." Elara says, speaking the truth, holding her head. Mie quickly went to her med bag and brought out a pain killer and gave it to her with a bottle water. Elara took it and pull off her uniform and lay down back, closing her eyes.

Eventually, Mie and her friends left the room. It all became calmer again. Elara quickly brought out the form the director had given to her. As she went through the form, she found it quite interesting, especially the part about the monthly allowance. However, she was not ready to deal with it right now. Kate walked in, and Elara quickly hid the form back in her bag, pretending to be taking out her books.

" Hi..."Kate says and went straight to the bathroom to shower and got back.

"Where is Mie and Gracie?" Kate asks.

" Mie went for a party and Gracie is not yet back" Elara replies. As kate was mopping up body and then appling lotion on her body.

"Okay..., I am going to the restaurant to get something to eat, are you getting anything?" Kate was already putting on her dress. Picking up her card and was about to step outside.

" Please Kate, can you get me burger and a drink" Kate nods and shut the door. Elara went back to laying down on her bed.

Before, Kate got back from the restaurant, Elara was already fast asleep, Kate dropped her snack beside her bed. When she wakes, she will find it beside her bed. But she did not wake up not even to take a pee, till the next morning. When she got up in the morning, everyone has gone for class. Elara quickly got ready as fast as possible and went for class.

Elara was walking to her locker to place her before going for class. She walked past some students they were gigglingly so loud that she could hear their conversation. They were talking about her obviously, but she did not give a damn right now. 

Getting to her locker, murder!! Boldly writing with a spray paint on her locker. Elara huff's, sensed the reason they were gigglingly when she passed. Elara shoved hair backward, she soaked her teeth, shrugged her shoulder. Showing that she did not care about what they were talking about.

Elara took key from her bag pack and opened... Suddenly a reddish substance splashed on face down to her body from her locker. Elara was dumbfounded, dripping of the substance, everything in her locker was soaked, which also sinks badly. At the same time the reoccurrence of Alpha Aurora daughter blood gushing out her head, flashed back to her mind; Her mind read has the reddish substance running down body to be the blood gushing out the student head, when she fell from the cliff. All her body was trembling and her heart panting really fast at same. Having a panic attack. 

"Ohh... my god!, Ohhh my.... god! " Elara quickly steps back holding her chest as heart races as twice than normal. Some students were gigglingly so loud beside her. While some were yelling.

" Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!" But all sounded like echoes to Elara ears. She ran through them to the restroom, sitting on the floor of the restroom using her both hand to cover her both ears, but could still hear the student echoing murder. Elara was already tramatized not knowing when tears was dropping uncontrollably.

She was about to bring out her phone to call her father, at then it occurred to her what was she going to tell her father? She stood up stamping feet against the doors of the restroom in frustration.

"Elara, you need to calm down, you got this! Right" She whimpers to herself. Holding the washing basin next to the mirror. And then Washed her face, stearing at the mirror breathing in and out to comfort herself. Patting her face.

" Wake up to reality, love..." Elara still whimpering to herself.

Elara gently opened the door to the restroom confirming if anyone was around. She sneaked tip toed out the restroom and headed straight for the director of academics office.

Getting to his office, she approached his secretary and told her she urgently want to see the director but the secretary declined.

" The director do not randomly see student, especially lobsters like yourself. Go see your counselor if you have any urgent pending issue" the secretary took a horrible gaze at Elara from she was sitted . Elara did not mind the secretary back lashing but still insisted that she wants to see the director.

" Tell him that Elar...." Elara could not finish her statement when the PA stepped in.

" Let her in" Without no further resistance the secretary quickly took her to see the director.

"Uhh Elara, to what do I hold this visit? And do you look so distorted?" Director said. Elara moves closer to the director table.

" You can speak from there, you rather sink" the director obviously stated.

" Well, I will accept your offer" in high pitched voice.

The director smirked. Raising is head, looking directly into her eyes. She knew she was in for a game of survival which she was equally ready for.

" Then we have a deal, Elara, if you play your part well" the director says.

"Can I move into their classroom tomorrow?" Elara curiously asked.

" Young lady!, You do not call the shot here, I do. I say when you start, know your place!" Elara sighed.

" Okay sir.." Elara says sarcastically.

"I rather go change in my hostel, it not important for you to know what happened to me" Elara stated. The director chuckles mockingly, Stood up from is seat, moving round his office has scoffs at the same time.

" So, you think after offering you a scholarship, elevate to The Elite. I will babysit you also, then you most be joke" the director clarified. Elara has had enough for a day as she steps out of his office without altering any word and went straight to her hostel.
