6 Gaining Fame
"I would like to apologize for my cousin's childish behavior, she is still left to use her unused brain," Dom said to Chloe while warning Lara by glaring at her. Lara, as always was about rebuke on the statement but was cut off by Dom, " Where is your mom? "
Lara stopped herself from revealing the news and smiled at him in a mysterious way. Dom facepalmed himself and then cupped his hands in front of Lara, and then said: " I apologize for my rude behavior Madam president, would you please tell this commoner where is your mother?" Lara was satisfied with the behavior and then said: "Okay. Mom was busy in the town so will not be able to come here."
Dom then realized the presence of Chloe, who was ignored until now. He looked towards her apologetically and said: " Well, as she is a drama club member, whenever I want some information from her, I have to bow down to her." Even though he said it in low voice, Lara was able to hear it, thanks to her ultra-sensitive ears. She glared at him and sent a threatening signal through her eyes, a single which only Dom could understand. He gulped a mouthful of saliva and tried to change the topic.
"So Chloe, can you tell us more about Thorndale, and the high school here." Chloe, who was oblivious to the atmosphere between them started to explain to them about Thorndale and their new High school.
Thorndale is a small town located near Petersburg. It residence near 50000 people, mostly including youngsters and families. The town is famous because of its jungle of thorn. Ice hockey is the main sport here, and many sports scholarships are sent because of Ice Hockey.
This Highschool has many clubs including Drama Club, Hockey Club, Tech Club, Maths Club, News Club, and Science Club.
There are 5 groups in which people are divided into. The players, who play Ice hockey, The nerds, The outcast, the loners and The socialist
After explaining all of this, Chloe was in deep thought. After while she looked towards them and said: "Your cousin might fall into the socialist group, and as for you, I don't know. Well let's not waste any more time, you will know everything else as the program progresses. Just pay attention to the stage."
The three of them then stared at the stage, where the varsity Ice hockey team was standing and were getting applause from the crowd. Some of them gave few encouraging words for the new students and also encouraged them to 'join' the Ice hockey team, in the eyes of many their was no sincerity in the 'encouragement '.
Frank and Tim again took the stage. " So now let's start with our records breaking session for today. and first, we will start with arm wrestling. The record set for the fastest winning in arm wrestling is set by my dear friend Tim here. " said Frank. " All are welcome here to test me, and as well as your strength here, " said Tim with a hint of disdain in his voice.
No one from the old students dared to go in there as they know that only doom awaited them. But few of the hot-blooded new kids who just became senior thought of this as a quick fame. So many were itching to go on the stage but were still hesitating due to no one wanted to be the first one and try his strength as he was still a record setter.
Finally, one muscle head didn't hesitate and went on the stage. Most of the new students felt relieved that someone has gone first and the older students all waited to see an exciting show. Dom can sense the change in expressions of old and new students and can't help but laugh bitterly.'
On the stage, there were 2 arm wrestling machines. In front of which Tim and the new student whose name was Troy was standing respectively. The countdown of 3 seconds began and both got ready.
The force on the machine would slowly rise from 5kg to 50 kg.

Just as the countdown hit zero, A smashing voice came from one of the machines. What everyone saw, left old students smiling and new students shock. The arm of the machine was hit down, and the person standing in front was Tim. Troy was left dumbstruck with the rest of the new students. The speed of slamming the arm was so fast that most of them were not able to see it and just saw a blur.
Lara was also dumbstruck like the rest of the new students, she was so dumbstruck that she even switched off her phone and put it in her pocket. Chloe, gave a knowing smile as this scene had happened a lot of time. She then looked towards Dom and now it was her turn to be surprised because Dom still had his poker face on and just glance once towards Tim and started to look towards others.
She just thought that he was not able to give proper expression to his shock, so then she didn't mind the matter anymore. But she didn't know that Dom was having a poker face on his face but sneering inside. He was clearly able to see as the hand went down. It was a good reaction speed and power for an average person but Dom was able to apply the same power and speed from 2 years ago.
After some silence, old students burst into applause which was also a to new students. All new students were ashamed except Dom.
Troy withdrew and came back to his position. " So who else would like to try. Come on new classmates let us see your skills," said Frank
No one else dared to come on the stage.
