Chapter Four: The Thief Class (2)

"The fuck mate! " Rapheal spat out.

Everyone laughed as they heard me mention my class.

"Couldn't be worse" Adele snarked at me.

"Hey brudda we the same" Josh said, his hands outstretched for a fist bump.

We bumped fists as his twin Jake pushed his glasses closer to his face before commenting;

"No you're not....he's worse."

'Thanks for reminding me , spoiler.'

"No curse words in my class Raphael " Miss Grace said as she slammed his head into his desk, cracking it in the process.

BANG!

"Ouch!" He screamed in fake agony, while rubbing his red temple.

"Now you all know your classes, additional courses will be added to your curriculum and all subjects must be passed if you want to graduate. Hope I'm cleared? " Miss Grace asked.

"Yes ma!' The students responded in sync.

"Now for those that don't have a class, don't think of yourself as a failure; though you failed in this class department, doesn't mean you would fail in real life, out there. That you're fucked out there, doesn't mean you're fucked in here, in the academy."

She paused a moment, waiting for her words to sink in deeply.

"Now just like the others are getting their own special training, you too would be getting yours. We call it vocational training, as this would help you integrate yourself better in the society of classes. "

"All ten of you please stand up ."

The ten students stood up as all eyes were on them.

"Such a shame " Cynthia whispered to Ruby her best friend as they all stared at the beautiful girl standing at the back.

Pearl something something; can't remember her surname. It was said she was gifted with beauty and brains, top of the class and was also good at sports while been blessed with a curvy physique. But they say when life gives you with the right, it takes with the left. And it seems life really was taking not just with one hand but somehow with two. Because not only was she classless, but she was also an orphan. I was pretty sure she had a grim tale to tell but then I wasn't one interested to hear.

"Now for those who had no class, please fill in this form." She began passing the forms to the students as they pulled out their pen to fill and sign.

"And for those that have a class, please fill this form."

The forms were been passed as one landed on my desk.

"Miss Gloria!"

"Yes Cynthia, how can I help you ?"

"I think Dave got a wrong form."

"Huh?"

The whole class turned towards me as Miss Gloria began to walk towards my desk.

"Mind your business you bit...coin" I quickly corrected myself as my memory had recollected what happened to Rapheal for cursing. He was a Knight, he could tank some punch. I was a thief, and there was a reason why thief's were always beaten black and blue when caught; I didn't want to find out that reason.

"Bitcoin ?" You could do better. A quiet voice spoke beside me.

'And who's this that we have here ?'

I turned in suprise to see Pearl seated beside me .

"Why are you here ?" I asked.

"Decided to take this seat." Pearl snapped at me.

"Huh, but this ain't your seat." I replied, ignoring her attitude. I knew fully well that it has always been a boy beside me. Not like the girls didn't want to seat with me. You see, the girls loved me, but that was before the assigning of class, cause I don't think they do anymore since I owe Charisma some points. But before now, one of the reasons ,or should I say the reason Cynthia hated me was because I turned her down.

'Can you imagine ?!'

'Which part are you imagining? Me turning her down or she been angry at been turned down? If yes to both, then you think fast.'

I mean I knew I was good looking, with my golden hair and grey eyes, bro I was striking; it would have been more if my eyes were blue, but just like I said earlier, the universe wouldn't allow such thing.

Well, she was suprised at first, then shocked, what followed next was anger and finally despair when I quietly walked away. Safe to say I got a stone thrown at me and some of her fanatic fans closed by joined in the throwing spree. If not because this was a secular state, I almost believed I was about to be martyred for some god I have no idea about.

"You have that spacey look in your eyes, I wonder what your perverted mind is thinking now ?" Pearl said as she scowled at me.

I turned towards her, my mind racing to come up with the most insulting statement I have ever heard, known or thought of.

"Do you think you should be bothered about me now or be thinking about your classless situation."

The class went silent as everyone stopped what they were doing and turned towards me.

"Damn!"

"Dammmnnnn!"

"Dave in the Holy book ain't this heartless brother!"

"Man cooked!"

'Fuck I hated the attention. Every thief does. '

"Fuck"

The last exclamation broke the banks as Pearl stood up with tears in her eyes, stared at me and yelled right in my face.

"I hate you!"

Quickly she ran out of the classroom as I felt some coldness on my face.

"There goes Dave first kiss class!" Rapheal pointed at me as everyone laughed at my face.

"Fuck" I whispered under my breathe as I walked out of the class to wash the saliva off my face.
