A couple days passed, and not a word has been heard from my newly aquatinted rival
It's quite surprising that I still have time to think of this dumb rivarly, given my predicament, the one of the unprecedented presence, thou it hasn't gotten worse yet
I could still feel it's aura hovering around me, or just stalking me at a distance, but that was it, I would follow the small signs it gave , hoping to find it, maybe all this was just a cruel prank
With a sigh, I snapped myself back into consiousness, rubbing my temples
Jeez I'm so paranoid
My paranoia wasn't this bad before ,was it?
that I didn't know, all I knew was that , I hated this, this feeling of not being in control
i hated this piercing feeling of inadequacy, those little unwarranted voices nagging on me
This sucks !
At least, I could always mask it out by keeping an unreadable face, but that was all I could do
Bing!;
My body jolted as I heard my name ring through the speakers, this was unusual, normally the only time ,my name was spoken of was during gossips
Maybe I was just hearing things
Bing , it rang again from the intercom, derailing my doubts, the principal was actually requesting my presence
Pushing my desk forward as I stood, my chair loosing balance, tumbled over, the noise leading a group of nosy gazes to my dismay
Nervously,I hurriedly picked up the chair and left the classroom, as I left I could hear their irritable Snickers,
Oh, the nature of man, to laugh not at theirs but at other's misfortune
Walking down the hall, to the principal's office, on reaching there I couldn't help but stare at the post, smoothly engraved in bronze, sculpted to the door, brightly written with the word
Principal,
Pushing the button attached to the door frame, the door gave way to my entrance,in entering the door, I noticed the principal addressing a person, out of courtesy, I stood by the door for I was yet to be permitted in
Staring around the office, my mind subconsciously took note of his genetically modified facial features, his eyes took two different colors, a clear sign of heterochromia
With a hair slicked with a dark color and a bit of white stripes , a toned body, with a clean shaved beard and an impeccable jawline , if I do say so myself
Noticing my presence, he immediately ushered me in, and pointed to where I was supposed to seat, only after seating did my mind register to whom he was was talking to
Slowly turning my face, I met the side gaze of my rival
Curses!, I can't seem to catch a break
What was she doing her, the initial plan was to avoid her, but here I was sitting side by side to her
The principal smiling after seeing I and Melina exchange a partially aquatinted look, handed over to me a file, with a name boldly written on the cover
MELIANA HARUNA
So this were her files, but what does it have to do with me
As if understanding the confused look on my face, he quickly explained his reasons for calling me, I need you to show her around the school, using her files , you can help her know her classes
Oh, that didn't make a whole lot of sense, they were a lot of students and staff in this school, but only I was called to handle this , but that was okay, in my hands were the files of someone who made the biggest mistake of making me their rival, I could put this to my advantage
As you know, he continued, she doesn't know a lot of our words in English , so try to explain things slowly to her
I nodded, huh, she didn't know how to translate words in English? , that didn't sound like the person who was blabbing their mouth away just a few days ago in class
Adjusting his glasses and looking at his computer, he gestured to the door, pushing a button at his desk to open it for us
Leaving his office, I browsed through the files that were in my hands
Name country
Melina haruna. Japanese
Facials- pink hair , dimmed green eyes....
Height
6'3
Status
On scholarship
I didn't have time to look over the rest before she interrupted me, stretching her hand out to me
Oh you're the school scholar , I'm Meliana, but you can call me melia , ignoring her out stretched hand, I pointed to a class, this will be your first class, it's subject is micro biology, I'll show you the rest after your class
Ignoring the annoyed look on her face, I made to leave , cause they're was no way I would miss a lesson catering for little miss Japanese
On entering my class, I hugged a sigh of relief as I saw the teacher's empty desk, good she's yet to arrive, I was not late , as if I could be, I'd already learnt my lesson, taking my seat at my usual position, I quickly took out my stationaries and placed them at my desk, waiting for the teacher to arrive
And as soon as she did, wasting no time, she began the lesson, though giving a few factually incorrect retellings , but I wasn't going to be the one to Correct her, I'm already hated enough as it was,
Looking at the educators lesson, the corner of my eyes picked up an image, shifting my focus from the lecture and catching my attention, taking my hands off my jaw and placing them at my desk, I looked outside the window, doing this without bringing unwanted attention to myself was easy, due to the fact , my seat was located directly by the window
Looking out , I could see someone exercising during learning hours, were they stretching?, What was this person even doing, that was a serious offense if caught, it might even lead to suspension, so I've heard
Looking closer I could make view to what the person's face, looked like
Huh, wait!!, Was that, Meliana ?, Ugh and the principal kept her under my custody
If she was to be caught , it wasn't only her that'll get in trouble, I as the person who she was momentarily put in care of, would be in as much trouble as she would be in, she could just say , I didn't tell her the rules, and dangnamit I didn't, I mean we had classes , I couldn't have skipped classes to start taking her on a tour around the school
With a panicked rush, I tried to reason what to do,I couldn't get her attention by hissing or catcalling her, so that option was ruled out, signalling her would disrupt the class
What to do?
With a sigh, I calmed down,I couldn't care less if she wanted to jeopardize her staying here, she can, seems like she's forgotten she's on scholarship, facing my attention back to the lesson again, with Meliana doing stretches, quads and what not
I couldn't have cared less,my studies are the only thing worth my time, glancing back at the window, my gaze was soon shifted to a figure at a distance, who else would be outside at this hour
The female administrator!, Heck if he caught her outside during learning hours , I'd be implicated too, they could tell my parents, as she walked closer to meliana's direction, I couldn't help panicking
What to do?!, Looking at my teacher briefing a topic , and the file beneath my desk, I suddenly got an idea, maybe I did know what to do, the problem was doing it
