Chapter 8

(Lotus's POV)

'Almost caught by the devil...ugh'

It's really hard to focus your attention on one thing when it's boring, particularly in a sermon. I don't even know how the others do it or use their mask for a duration of almost 4 hours while listening to people dressed in drag robes telling you that you'll go to hell, tortured by demons and get yourself burned alive. What the heck is wrong with this people? Is this what they teach to children nowadays?

'Good thing Prima's beside me or else no one will keep pinching my nerve spots to keep me awake' I quickly run fast to my first class of the day when I heard the bell rang; don't want to spend more time with the devil than necessary.

'God damnit, this rags is so uncomfortable' Even though the sneakers were more comfortable in running, the sweater was the one killing me. It was so itchy on the inside; I just scratch my arms for a which resulted my skin getting red.

I opened the door slowly, hoping the teacher wasn't there.

"Whoo..." I sighed in relief.

I went to my seat at the back near the window. Considering there aren't really much students, there weren't many seats either. Plus it's either brains or money here. I took my pink phone out of my satchel. It was a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. A gift from my dear brother. We always fight but that's what siblings always do. I love him, even if he's evil sometimes.

I texted my friends if they're already in their class. This was the first time we had different classes, I bet my money it's all the devil's work. No matter, we always have our ways.

Now that I think about it, how did we get to be together again? We are kinda a bit of an odd group in the past, not like today. We shouldn't even be together considering what we were like back then.

--------------------FLASHBACK----------------------

"Hey! watch where you're going" The person shouted at me when I bumped into him.

That freaking hurt. It's like getting hit by a brick.

"You're the one who-" It was too late to say anything when that person was already gone. I crouched down and took my things scattered on the ground.

'My day just gets better and better. First, mom sends me to this school even though I don't know a single person here. Second, my brother leaves me on my own, not even helping me get inside which leaves me surrounded by nothing other than trees. Does he even know that I'm a teenager in the middle of the woods? And third, my father-. Never mind.' Shouldn't have thought of that.

I took a turn and stopped by a room. There was a sign on it, 1914. My history class is in room 1914. Is it coincidence or maybe something else? Why is it 1914? A date that changed the course of history.

Yes, I maybe a bitch sometimes but I ain't an idiot either.

I entered the room and noticed there weren't much people inside. There was one person that caught my attention.

"You!" I looked at the guy I bumped into earlier.

"Oh, you're that klutz little girl" He looked at me wide eye with recognition.

"FYI, I am not a klutz and I'm not a little girl either!" I told him angrily.

"Oh...man I am sorry, I didn't know you go that way. If I knew I wouldn't have said anything." He smirked knowingly at me.

I was gonna retort back but I didn't know what to say, he's right I was quite childish. I wanted to stomp my feet on the ground to show my frustration but I refrained, I didn't want to show how right he was. So I swallowed my pride and straightened my back.

"This isn't over." I took a seat near the window at the back which is farther from him. There was a guy at my right of which I held my hand out to him and said, "Hi, the name's Lotus Sinclair. It's a pleasure to meet you."

He didn't take it and just looked outside.

My hand was hanging there waiting for him to shake. There was someone laughing and I felt a vein popped in my head. I dropped my hand and looked at the person. It was him again. Looking smug and provocative. It makes me want to punch him in the face.

Then there were students who came in. And took a seat near us. There were two red heads who just keep smiling at each other with mirth in their eyes. They were already here before I came in. They're smile didn't drop until someone came in.

It was a nun, who had black eyes and a nose like an eagles beak.

"My name is Sister Daeva. Only Sister Daeva and nothing else. It's a displeasure to finally meet you all in person." She told us, emphasizing the word displeasure.

She took a seat behind her desk and looked at us sharply before saying "No one will have a need to introduce themselves, I already have all of your information."

With that she crouch herself, reaching to the bottom of the desk.

RIP!

There was a rip sound in her direction. We all looked at her, even the guy staring at the window did.

The nun's face was changing from green to red in anger and her face scrunched.

"WHO...DID...THIS?!" She slowly said in a heavy breath between words with anger.

She didn't stand up. Not wanting to rip her robes more an lead it to shreds on her bottom.

There were two students who laughed.

"YOU...DEVIL SPAWNS!" She yelled.

Her face kept contorting and we couldn't contain it coming out. So, we laughed. Hard.

"DETENTION...ALL OF YOU!" She yelled at us again.

We just laughed at her. The guy at my side just smiled. The girl with the glasses was laughing behind her books. And the guy who had a manga in his hands was laughing and coughing. Then there was another guy with a loose necktie banging on his desk.

The door in the classroom let out a sound as it opened.

"What is with that noise?!" A woman came in view.

-----------------END OF FLASHBACK----------------

My focus came back when Prima texted me.

PRIMA - New girl.

'Seems like our days wouldn't be so peaceful anymore'
