What is wrong with this school? Rest of the classes are so maintained and Section E is just singled out. It is literally like a junkyard and those students there are like goons.
I was still thinking to myself when I entered the class. Smug-Face was looking at me but I did'nt bother looking at him. The rest of the class was busy with whatever they were doing.
I went back to study my notes, when someone interrupted me.
'' Hi there, Nerd.", the little boy said smiling to himself.
I wasn't fan of his nickname for me. I didn't smile at him and his expression changed. It felt like he was about to cry.
"Hey, Kiddo", I called him smiling at him and he lifted his chin and smiled at me.
"I thought you don't like me.", he said and put his arm around me.
To be honest, I was shocked. He was very friendly.
"Hey, Kiddo...a little slow", I put his arm away and he became sad again.
"What do you want?", I asked him. I am sure he wants something. Let me guess, Food?
"I don't want anything from you...I just want to be your friend. But, you are so rude. Oh, Yes! I remember it now you even pranked us. I should be hating you!", he told me and frowned even.
I wanted to laugh at his expression but it might hurt his little heart.
"BWAHAHA - you should have looked at yourself! ", I laughed. I could'nt help myself. I stopped when I noticed that whole class was glaring at me. You all don't scare me!
I laughed at all of them pointing at them. It was fucking hilarious.
I stopped myself and put my arm around that kid.
"Listen kid. I told you not to mess with me. You think I don't remember you were the one who lied to me about the teacher calling me. Am I right?", I told him in a cold voice.
He was scared. I could feel his little Adam's apple bobble as he swallowed in fear.
The teacher entered and everyone got into their seats. I too focused on the lessons.
It was Break Time now.
I was about to leave when I heard the boys talk about the old president of the class. Apparently he was back and there would be new elections in the break time. New Elections Eh? Sounds fun. Should I participate in the elections?
I noticed them all go out of the class so I followed them.
I noticed that a guy with red hair was also with them. I haven't seen him before. He dressed nice. He looked like a real student unlike others. He must be the old president.
Then I see them make a circle and two guys come in the front. It is Kiefer and some other guy. He has bruises on his face and he seems to be struggling too. Who is he? Why is he like this? And what the hell are they doing? Aren't there supposed to be some kind of elections?
I went to that kid from earlier.
"Hey, kid. What is happening?", I asked him
"I won't tell you. You are mean.", he replied back.
Is he really a kid? He got a nut loose in his head? By this time Keifer was already fighting that guy. Why were they fighting?
"So, you really won't tell?", I asked him staring hard into his eyes. His little soul was visible to me.
"That guy over there is David. He was our president before. But he got injured and then Keifer took over. Now, he is back and they are doing a re-election by combating. Whoever wins becomes the new president.", he explained to me
"I see. But it is clear Keifer will win. That guy...David is injured. How is he supposed to fight? Not fair.", I told him
He shrugged.
The fight was near its end and these cheaters were cheering for Keifer.
"Keifer! Keifer! Keifer!"
David was down and Keifer was declared winner.
"What a tragedy! You guys don't even fight fair. Is this the man you are, Keifer?", I spoke in a loud voice. The cheers turned down and everyone was looking at me. They all went quiet. Since, I had questioned the manhood of their pity babysitter.
I walked towards Keifer.
"You fight a injured person and call it fair?", I told him to his face.
"Shut up...you don't know how it works here.", he replied back and everyone began laughing to mock me.
"Tsk. Whatever...Why don't you fight me?", I asked him. I did'nt like how he belittled me.
Everyone of them laughed even louder.
"I think she wants to die", one said
"Challenging Kiefer? Who does she think she is?"another said
Even Keifer was laughing. They were all making fun of me.
I was furious. One thing I hate is people underestimating me.
"Go to hell. I don't hit women.", Keifer replied back.
"So, you hit your girlfriends.", I shot back at him. I had gathered information about all of these jerks. And I knew about Keifer too.
Everyone went silent with my last sentence. It was a awkward silence as if they were all attending a funeral. Yeah, funeral of Keifer. Cause I am gonna kill him with my own two hands.
"What did you say?", clenched his fist and was ready to hit me when I stopped it.
"I take this as your acceptance to fight me." I told him
"Whatever"
All of them started cheering and our fight began. I was wearing a skirt so it was limited to how much I could raise my leg to kick his face. I can manage.
Our fight began. It was intense.
He launched a punch and I held his arm. I was about to kick him. When he pulled his arm pulling me towards him but I yanked it free and he lost his balance. I kicked him in stomach and he fell down on his back. The crowd earlier that was cheering went silent. They were all glaring at me now.
Keifer was back on his knees in no time. He lunged towards me and punching my abdomen. It was impactful and I grunted in pain. He came near my ear and whispered.
"You are so weak. Even Aries is stronger than you."
Upon hearing this, I lost my cool and went to attack him. I had'nt thought about my strategy out of anger. He caught my weakness and kicked me sending me flying. I hit a table nearby and blood came out of my mouth. I lost it! Fuck!
They began counting for me to stand up but I could'nt. I was half weakened and half disappointed in myself. I lost to my anger.
They declared Keifer the winner and began cheering him up while I was on the ground wrapped in my own wounds. I could see their satisfied faces seeing me like this. Even that smurf little boy was laughing at me. I shot him a glare and he ran away with the crowd.
"Fuck! Fuck!", I kept saying punching the floor. My fists hurt.
"Stop! It is useless."said someone. He was right infront of me.
I looked up to see who it was.
David.
He tried to lift me up.
"I don't want you help.", I told him. I wanted some time to reflect on my defeat.
"Like you have a choice.", he said and lifted me up and made me sit on the chair nearby.
He went away and brought a box of first-aid. He handed it to me. I began treating my wounds. Now, that I see, Kiefer went no mercy on me. He hit every spot he could. Fuck! I lost to him! So Disappointing!
"I heard about you from Ci-n but I didn't imagine you to be like this.", David said bringing me back to present.
"Like what?", I told him
"You think girls can't fight?", I asked him. I was annoyed by his answer and I pressed hard on my wound. It hurt like hell.
"Let me do that.", he said and took the cotton swab from my hands and applied it gently on my wounds.
"I didn't mean that. Challenging Keifer is what I was talking about. He is very strong. I haven't seen anyone defeat him in a fight. But, I must say. You nearly had him.", he explained.
He was done with applying medicine to my wounds. And then he took my hand and applied ointment to my knuckles. He turned my hand and applied medicine on the burn from the morning too.
I felt a little warmth inside of me.
"Why are you helping me?", I asked him.
He chuckled and replied, "Do I need a reason to help someone?"
Well, in this world we live in, help doesn't come without a cost.
"You really like helping people?", I asked him
"You ask too many questions.", he replied back.
He was done with applying medicine and he closed the first aid box.
"Wait, you too need to apply medicine.", I told him. He too had wounds on him.
"I am fine", he replied back and stood to put the first aid box back in its place.
He came back and he wasn't alone. The red headed guy was with him too.
He stood infront of David.
"Why are you helping this new girl? If Keifer knows, you are dead meat." said the red headed guy
"So, he is gonna punish me for helping that girl too? Aren't you all taking him too seriously?", David replied back.
"David- watch what you are saying. Kiefer just wants the best for all of us." replied the red headed guy
"Yuri- Don't teach me. Now, move away!", he told Yuri and pushed him away.
Yuri turned to me and shot me a glare before going away.
"Are you getting in trouble for helping me?", I asked David
"I don't know. And I don't care. I can't let Kiefer to decide what is right and wrong to do for me. Besides, leaving a lady like yours covered in wounds isn't exactly a manly behavior.", he replied back.
I chuckled a little. He sounded like a Knight in those novels. I could imagine him wearing an armour and lifting his sword in the air.
He must be what people call a Gentleman.
