THE ENVIED COUPLE

CHAPTER 3

Just then Romeo and Anya walked in talking, with Romeo carrying Anya's bag. Everyone turned their attention towards them. They were the cutest couple, they had ever seen, the boys wished that they were the boyfriends and the girls wished that they were the girlfriends.

Such chemistry, was so good.

"Aww they are so cute" A girl said to her neighbor as she tapped her on the shoulder.

"I envy Anya, but are they really dating. I thought it was just a dance, that they had together, or were there feelings exchanged" another girl whispered enviously, to her classmate who shrugged and went back to what she was doing, she couldn't care less.

"I am so jealous" could be heard coming from the girls while Maddie rolled her eyes.

AND HERE COMES THE NEWEST SENSATIONAL COUPLE OF THE CLASS. Charles announced as people whistled.

Anya covered her face in embarrassment as she sat beside Ruby and Jeiel (Arianna), while Romeo kept a straight face as he sat down behind them.

"Romeo, you couldn't even tell us that you and Anya were now a thing." A boy said, in mockery as Romeo turned to reply him.

"I believe that's no business of yours," Romeo said bringing out his headphone and wearing it, facing the window.

"Stop being embarrassed, Anya. Everyone saw the video, beside it was a year ago and people are still shipping you two together." Arianna said

"I know but it feels kind of strange, we are just friends and everyone is already assuming."

"Let them assume, they got nothing better to do. Come on, do you really want your day to start like this? Ruby asked.

"Nah, not really, can't wait to see what this day has in store for me," Anya said bringing out her books.

************* ****************

"I'm telling you I have a bad feeling about that new intake" Ma'am Stanley aka known as the prophetess said.

"What bad feeling? He is just a new intake for the final year class."

"He's bad news. I can perceive the aura round him. It's evil. He reeks of misfortune, revenge and pain."

"Oh, Ma'am Stanley! Are you doing that your prophecy thing again? How many times will we remind you that you are not a prophetess."

"I may not be one, but I do know evil when I see it."

"He may be evil as you say, but his records are clean. No bad dents, straight C student, okay he might be bad and filled with misfortune in that area. The principal said making a joke out of Ma'am Stanley's earlier statement. Impeccable to a fault, nice, hardworking and neat. This is the kind of student we need in our school."

"If he has no dents, why is he being transferred here?"

"I do not know, but what I do know is that I was given explicit orders to make his transfer to this school, swift and hitch free and so help me, that's what I will do. So call him in, Ma'am Stanley. Let me carry out my duty."

"Oh, I will call her in, Mrs. principal but if anything happens during his stay here, it will be solely your fault." Ma'am Stanley said walking out.

"Hey! New intake?! The principal is ready to see you," Ma'am Stanley called out to Brandon sitting on the chair."

He stood up, carrying his school bag and entered the office where he saw the principal.

His little brother had given him some information about her - divorced mother of three, had a cat and dog, got jail time once for selling cocaine and attacking a police officer- Mrs. Simon was truly a remarkable principal.

"Good day ma'am"

"It's Mrs. Simon to you."

"Sorry Mrs. Simon." Brandon said trying hard not to roll his eyes, already. He couldn't afford to get detention on his very first day.

"Good, so I understand that you are new here, your locker has been arranged for you, and this is your key. The number is DC14. Your uniforms are sewn and ready for you. You will receive them in your locker later this evening by the cleaners. This is your timetable where all your classes and various physical activities are written down. Your class name is Star and your seat number is CA11. I guess that's all for now. Any questions?"

"No Mrs. Simon."

"Good. I have sent for the teacher of Star class to come pick you up. Enjoy your stay here in TPHS."

"I intend to do just that." He thought as he smirked to himself.

"Excuse me Mrs. Simon. I heard you called for me?" Mr. Daniel said entering the office.

"Yeah I did, Mr. Dan, meet the newest student of star class. I leave him in your capable arms."

"Sure thing, Mrs. Simon. You can follow me" Mr. Daniel said to the student as they both left the office.

Mrs. Smith frowned at the guy and they both left, and make a decision to keep tabs on him for personal reasons.

As Mr. Dan walked down the hall with the new student Brandon. He introduced himself.

"Hey, I'm your class teacher and also biology teacher Mr. Dan and you are?"

"Brandon. Nice to meet your sir."

"Brandon huh. Why did you transfer here by the time of the year?"

"I heard that TPHS is a great school and very academically sound." Brandon said as the memory of his mum, with knife as she chased him around their mansion, floated back to his head as he chuckled.

"Really? Is that all?" Mr. Dan asked, looking back at him.

"My dad got transferred so we have to move here." Brandon said.

"Oh I see. Let me introduce you to your new classmates. You will get to love them. They are a crazy bunch."

"Well sire, I do love crazy bunch. Hope they are friendly too." Brandon played along.

"Well, they are crazy. I can guarantee you that much."

"Just great. Freaking great. Brandon muttered underneath his breath.
