Chapter 16 S.T.S High
" So these are the books? " I said, staring at the stack of books.
The teacher nodded and handed me a pile of clothes, "These will be your uniforms."
I accepted the pile and thanked the teacher.
I walked back into my dorm, finding Sean lying on the ground with his chest, playing Mario cart.
I placed the pile of books beside him, "Your books."
"Thanks." Sean said plainly.
"School will start tomorrow, so toughen up, we don`t know what awaits us, keep your cripple identity hidden if possible." I said, trying not to sound offensive.
He finished the game just in time, he took the books and stuffed them in his bag.
"Right, remember to wear your tie tomorrow, it`s the first rule in this scoOOOO!!!"
I landed butt first in Sean`s luggage, "SEAN! DIDN`T I ALREADY TELL YOU TO CLOSE YOUR LUGGAGE ?!"
"Oh, sorry." Sean`s head appeared on top of this....place.
He held out a hand, I jumped to reach it, he grabbed me and pulled me up.
"Now zip this thing up." I said, my butt still hurting.
Sean zipped his luggage up after double checking if there`s anyone else in there.
"Sean, did you shower? "
"Yes."
"Did you brush your teeth? "
"Yes."
"Did you close the switch?"
"Now, yes."
"Go to sleep, it`s already 10."
Sean groaned, "It`s still so early! "
"Well guess what, it`s not very early for me so go." I said, mother like.
I turned my back when something hit my back.
A pillow.
I glared at Sean with widened eyes.
And that is how you start a pillow fight.
***********
"wow..." Sean said, breathlessly.
I was under the blankets.
Sean was on the ground, under 7 pillows.
"Go to sleep." I said again.
He sat up and threw the pillows at me, I caught all of them with my head under the blanket, "Just go to sleep."
I threw three pillow on his bed and kept the other four.
Sean crawled to his bed, muttered something and pulled the blanket over him.
"Good night." I said.If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it`s taken without the author`s consent. Report it.
"Mmmft." He said, his face on his pillow.
*********
"WAKE UP !!!!" I yelled.
Sean didn`t move a muscle.
I took a cup full of cold water, snuck towards Sean, I lifted his blanket up, lifted the collar of his shirt up, showing his neck.
I poured the water down his neck and Sean`s eyes bolted open.
He shuttered to the icy feeling and wrapped himself with his blanket.
"What d..did you do that f..for?! " He said, his shirt soaked in cold water.
"Dunno, probably because I yelled multiple times and you responded to none of them." I said.
"Or..." I evil grinned at him, "Would you rather me giving you a good old kick on the spot to make sure you`re 100% awake."
He gasped and shaked his head, "HECK NO! "
He grabbed his uniform and ran towards the bathroom.
I waited, because I`m already prepared for my day.
"My first class is Science, you? " Sean said.
"Mine`s English." I replied, my eyes on the schedule.
"Hey! We have PE together! "
"And math too." I added.
The bell rang, we parted ways and I arrived in the Science classroom.
"Welcome to S.T.S ! " A girl shouted at the very back of the class, I smiled for that.
The teacher haven`t arrive yet, students stood up and started chatting with me.
"Hey! You`re from Peri High right? "
"I heard the king and queen from Peri came! "
" Is it true that the principal sent their school`s top 10?"
"Are you a high tier too?"
"What rank are you? "
"I`ve heard the King in Peri high has abilities to spawn guns and control them, is it true? "
"Are you the queen of Peri High? "
Questions swarmed over me as I walked into the classroom.
"I...uhh..."
None of them asked me for my name, how odd.
"Hey! What`s your quirk? "
That question again.
"That`s a little personal, I`d rather not answer it...." I said, forcing out a smile.
"Hey! Is it true that there is a cripple in your school? " a boy asked.
"Yes, but he`s really nice once you get to know him." I answered.
All of them laughed.
"Did you hear her? Get to know him."
"Yeah, I know right, who would want to get to know a cripple? "
The crowd kept talking, I sighed, I guess I had my hopes to high.
There`s no difference in this school, same education, same view of cripples...
I shaked my head and started reading a book.
"SILENCE! "
The students immediately stopped talking and scattered away to their seats.
"The Peri students came and I expect you to be in your best behavior! Don`t embarrass our school! "The teacher said strictly.
"So, where is she ?"
I`m guessing she was referring to me.
The class pointed at me, making me uncomfortable.
"Ah! I am Mrs. Kila, would you like to introduce yourself to the class?"
"With pleasure." I said.
" My name is Millie, I like food." I said, simply, just like my first day in Peri High.
The class erupted in laughter.
"Oh, very well, you may go back now Millie." The teacher said.
I walked back to my seat and sat down.
"Millie what topic were your class studying on? " Mrs. Kila asked.
"Optics." I answered.
"Oh! That`s quick! " She said, "So that means you can keep up with the class, am I right? "
I nodded, pretty confident in my studies.
"Alright! Now, class, hand up your papers from yesterday! "
The class went pretty well, I was doing fine in class.
After class, people were asking me loads of questions on meaning of some words and questions about the topic we were learning on, I was able to answer all of them, not surprisingly.
In the middle of the hall, where I was talking to Sean.
A boy came up to me, and pulled me towards him.
"What the hell ?!" I yelled, pushing him away.
"What`s a pretty girl like you doing here?" he said.
"Studying?" I answered.
"Oh right, how can I forget to introduce myself, my name is Milton, rank 6, currently king of S.T.S High, quirk : Spikes."
I nodded, "I`m Millie."
"I`m Sean! " Sean said, seems pretty excited.
Milton raised a brow, "No ranks? No quirks? "
"We`d rather keep it personal." I said.
He nodded, "Mysterious.... I like that." he said, rubbing his chin.
I resisted the urge to roll my eyes and gave him a forced out smile instead.
"P.E is starting, don`t want to be late, bye! " I said, grabbing Sean`s sleeve and walking away.
I walked into the girl`s locker room, "Do you trust that guy? "
"No."
"Yeah, ok, because me too."
"I know that."
"the way he looks at me sends me shivers." I said, recalling what happened a minute ago.
" I was pretty excited actually-----"
"FOR WHAT?!" I screamed.
"for making new friends! " He said, scratching the back of his head.
"Yeah, sure, but not with THAT kind of guy." I said, with a frown.
"but i-----" he was about to continue wheni cut him off.
"Yeah yeah, this is the girl`s locker room, please go back to the boys locker room please." I said, pushing him out of the room.
He opened his mouth to speak, but I closed the door in front of him.
He sighed through the doors and footsteps faded away.
I shaked my head and sighed, Sean still don`t know how to make real friends, he`s not able to understand and think it through , in this state, he could be betrayed very easily.
I took my PE attire and putted it on, the shorts were a little too short, but it was better than skirts.
Through the doors to the field, the teacher blew the whistle, I rushed out of the door to join the class.
