Chapter 7

She saw Curt from afar. Babe! She ran towards him. 

Babe,Where have you been? I have been looking for you! He said looking around if he could see charles. 

Yeah I am sorry, I was in the musical room with Charles.  She narrated . 

Oh, Charles... he muttered. That guy again,  I really don't like him. He explained

Why babe, he is cool. She blinked her eyes twice.  

Oh, i see. He looked away then looked at her again. You know what, i don't just like him. 

Oh i see. She said and laughed.

It is really not funny, i don't like him at all. He hissed 

Or you don't like seeing the two of us together. She laughed again looking at his jealous face but he kept quiet. 

Babe, you really have to stop being jealous when you see me with another guy. she said

Stop being jealous? Have you seen me with any fucking girl in this school before?   He looked serious. 

Ok fine. She raised her hands then he moved closer to her and looked at her eyes for a few seconds. Babe, I feel insecure when you are with that guy. He said pointing at a random guy. 

He is not the guy! she said laughing 

I know. His face still looked serious

 She looked at him and she wanted to speak but remained silent. 

Ok can we go to the field now? Brody interrupted. 

Yeah sure. He held her hands. 

*In the school field*

When Layla saw them coming she smirked. Here they come, that bitch. She moved towards them then smiled, 

Hi lover birds,surprised to see me?

They remained quiet, and Vivian was irritated at her drama. She tried to pass her but Layla dragged her, it made Vivian pissed off that she bit her wrists making her to scream, it took some seconds before Layla could release her hands from Vivian. When she saw her wrist was bleeding, she cried out. All eyes were on her as she let out a baby cry, her friends were pissed off but couldn't move near Vivian as she looked violent. 

*After some minutes*

They called the medic to treat her…Babe, what if she calls her parents? Curt said. 

She can't because they don't have her time. Vivian eyed him. 

 Oh, really! 

 Yeah! she said then whispered to his ear "I heard her talking to her aunt on phone about not seeing her parents for a year". 

 Really! He looked at her surprisingly and expected her to continue. 

Yeah, she said. They come late in the night and leaves before she wakes up. Vivian paused.  

Wow, No wonder she is a brat. He said. Just then, Lily approached them and faced Vivian. You shouldn't have done that! 

Firstly, I know but your friend pissed me off. I wasn't ready for a fight. Secondly,  the wound isn't much, it will heal fast. 

Vivian! I need you in my office right now. the principal shouted. 

Holy shit, do you guys really need to report to the principal? She said looking at lily. We could have ended it here!

*In the principal's office*

There is a table in the center with two chairs and a small vase kept on it, his peon changes the vase flower regularly. The walls of the room are painted with ivory colour. 

   When Vivian entered she scanned through the office then sits when she was asked to. She looks scared because she was never in the principal black list or called to the principal office for any incident.

Vivian, i need you to explain why you did that! The principal removed her glasses and looked at her. 

She caused it. Vivian said looking at the bell button kept on the table used by the principal to call the peon. 

Biting her was not the option! she said, calming. 

But she is a bully! Vivian eyed the principal. 

I know but you caused a wound! I am writing your name on the black list now. She said, reaching out for the book. Your name is now on the black list. she said again looking at Vivian for a response. 

   Am sorry…please i promise this is the end of it, i won't bite her again. Vivian pleaded. Don't put my name on the list please! 

   Okay you made a promise. let's keep it! She closed the book then continued. You are my best student and I want you to keep on having a great name. 

Sure. She said, smiling.  

****

* In the science laboratory*

The next day...They had practice, Charles changed his seat with the guy opposite Vivian and he did his best to get her attention… When Curt noticed he gave him a deadly look and tried to get Vivian's attention too but Charles was all over her. 

You look beautiful today. He said, she blushed. She was comfortable that he was all over her and she liked it. 

They were making observations, taking measurements and carrying out well-defined scientific procedures directed by the lab assistant.

Throughout the session, His eyes were on her till she noticed him. I love your skin! He said licking his lips.

Are you serious? She smiled calmly. Can't you concentrate?  

No! Then she smiled at him. 

Margret… look! One of the girls pointed at Vivian. She is trying to get the new guy too! 

Margret looked at them, it made her angry seeing both of them smiling at each other . When she looked at Curt's direction, she smiled.

Is she dumping him? She smiled again… Then look at Vivian one last time before she continues her practical. 

*After the class* 

Curt walked up to Vivian then smiled at her. 

What's with the smile! She looked confused. 

You look so beautiful. He said and she blushed.

You.... 

Hey beautiful, we have mathematics now! Charles said as he interrupted Curt. 

Oh yeah! Babe we got to go for mathematics class now. She held Curt's hands… He looked at Charles angrily till they got to their class. 

When they entered, Mr Robert entered the class immediately. 

Okay guys... Mr Robert scanned through the class before writing on the board. He explained Combinatorics and finite probability and gave examples. Vivian hates mathematics, she finds it hard but tries all her best to pass the subject. 

    The class was tedious, some of them were passing papers…You noticed how the new guy is around Vivian these days? 

Yeah, the girl is getting all the cute guys attention to herself. 

I really hate her. What does she have? Some group of girls opposite the entrance were passing the paper to themselves.

She is strange!  Not as if she is that beautiful. They continued passing papers until the end of the class. 

Babe, let's go to the cafeteria. Curt said, holding her hands. He was trying to distance Charles from her. 

No Babe, I want to practice my dance step. She hugged him then walked away. He was speechless… Her walking away from him made his heart beat fast. All he wanted was her and he doesn't want to lose her to Charles... Still watching her, he saw Charles walking from the other angle to meet her. She smiled at him then he held her hands looking at curt and smiling… It got Curt angry. 

What plan does he have? Why is he all over her? These questions were running through his mind. His anger increased as  He walked up to Charles then pulled him away from Vivian and gave him a blow on his nose causing him to bleed. Students gathered around whispering and pointing at them. 

Vivian was surprised… She couldn't believe what Curt just did! Charles bent his head in pain as his nose was bleeding. 

Curt was still angry that he moved closer to Charles lifting his hand up and holding his collar. 

If I ever see you with Vivian again I promise to kill you. Curt said with a low voice. Then he wanted to punch his face when Vivian screamed for him to stop… He looked at her and saw that she was disappointed in him. He took his hands off Charles's collar then pushed him… He moved closer to Vivian but she moved back, stopping him from moving closer to her.
