"What the hell are you doing?" The guy's friend asked coming closer to Conrad but he didn't reply.
He wanted to hit the guy as well but Ariel held him back.
"Stop" She said and he stared at her before pulling out of her grip.
He threw the brick away and held her hand pulling her with him to the infirmary.
The guy's friends ran to him and helped him up taking him to the infirmary as well but another room.
The guys holding Ashley left her and she stood up touching her cheek.
"The guts of that guy" She mumbled and scoffed going to biology class.
★» INFIRMARY »★
He made her sit on the bed before looking at the nurse.
"Get her treated" He said and the nurse nodded getting the required tools.
She got a methylated spirit and applied it on a cotton wool. She put on her gloves and got a scissor. She picked the cotton wool with the scissor and used it to clean the blood on Ariel's hand.
She bit her lips as the pain struck her hard.
Conrad stared at Ariel's face and she looked up at him before looking elsewhere.
The nurse bandaged the wound when she was done and gave her some pain killers. She was given a bottle water and a glass which the pill was in. She carried the pill and placed it in her mouth before gulping down the water.
"All done" The nurse said with a smile.
"Thank you" Ariel said and stood leaving the infirmary same as Conrad.
"Thanks again" She said but he didn't reply.
She looked at him and saw him staring at her.
"I said thanks" She said and he faced front.
"I don't do thanks. You're going to repay me" He said and she rolled her eyes.
"How?"
"When the time comes" He said and walked into biology class.
She scoffed and entered the class as well only for Conrad to pull her away from the incoming pencil.
Her eyes widened and she looked at angle the pencil came from.
"Why the hell did you do that?" Ariel asked Alexa.
"The pencil isn't good. I wanted to thrash it" She said with a smirk.
She looked at the teacher who didn't even pay attention to them.
She scoffed and left Conrad's grip going to sit down on her chair.
Conrad went to his seat as well and his gaze locked on Logan who was staring at Ariel.
"How's your arm?" Ashley asked.
"It's still hurting but it's fine" Ariel said and looked at Ashley's slightly swollen cheek.
"How's your cheek?"
"It's okay, the swelling will leave before tomorrow" Ashley said.
"Oh that's...."
"Ariel Chen" The teacher's stern voice brought her to him.
"It seems you have something to share. Would you love to share it with the class?" He asked.
"Not really" Ariel replied and some of them chuckled.
"Get this question right and I'll pardon you for today. Fail the question and you'll go to detention for a week." He said and she stood.
"Alright. What's the question?"
"When a spirogyra filament is placed in a concentrated salt solution for 30 minutes, the cell would become what?" He asked and students began murmuring among each other.
"Silence. Let her speak" He said and she thought for a while.
"Since the salt solution is hypertonic to the fell content of spirogyra, the organism loses water to the solution and eventually becomes plasmolysed." Ariel said and he let out a slight smirk.
"Nice brains you have there. Don't disturb my class again" He said and she smiled sitting down.
"You still remember things from high school"
"Yeahh, my biology teacher was the best then" She muttered and remembered something.
"I'll tell you something after class. Remind me" Ariel said and Ashley nodded.
1 HOUR LATER »★ AAA'S SUITE »★
Andrea was sipping from her wine staring at the laptop in front of her.
The video of how Conrad saved Ariel kept replaying. She closed the laptop and gulped down the whole content.
"Our plan didn't work" Alicia said.
"I know. Why does he keep helping her?" Andrea said and asked.
"I have no idea but with him around, we won't be able to put her in her place" Alexa said.
"Why don't we do something tonight. What do you think about a movie night?" Andrea asked and the girls smiled.
"That would be nice." Alicia said.
"But girls, Ariel is somehow different" Alexa said.
"How different?" Andrea asked.
"I mean she behaves like the one we once killed. Do you think they're related?" Alexa asked.
"When I made researches on her, she didn't have a sister or a relative. She was an orphan and so there's no way Ariel could be a relative of her" Andrea replied.
"It's still funny because that girl was so stubborn. She was the only one who refused to bend to our rules. Even with the fact that she was poor, she was so difficult to deal with but at the end, we ended her" Alicia said with a triumphant smile.
"If Ariel isn't careful, she might as well follow suite" Alexa muttered with a deadly smirk.
★» HALLWAY »★
The girls were seen at their lockers keeping their books when Ashley remembered something.
"You said you wanted to tell me something after biology class."
"Oh yes" Ariel said facing her.
"I'm all ears" Ashley said and Ariel smiled.
"Okay well, back in highschool. There was this male teacher. My favourite back then. He specialized in maths and I loved maths because of him. Suddenly, he started making lustful approaches towards me and and I began to hate him. I always avoided him whenever I saw him until this very day he got me trapped in the female restroom. He almost had his way with me but he didn't cos I broke a bucket on his head" She said and Ashley chuckled a bit.
"It's not funny because something bad happened after I left the restroom" Ariel said and Ashely blinked.
