Chapter 2

It is a new day at Beverley High. The bell rings to alert the students it's start lesson .While Irye walks into the principal's office, she senses eyes on her. "Irye McVenus?" the principal asks standing in front of her office and staring at Irye. Literally scanning her outfit, she is in black jeans and white v-neck shirt almost covered up by her black leather jacket with zips all over. Her necklace of a galloping horse dangling down her neck. Her black horseman shore matching her fedora. "Well that is a lot for the first day in school. Am more surprised than you are". She thinks to herself and clears her throat to catch the attention of the principal who's in a maze right now. "Urm...Yes?" Irye responds. Blinking, the principal tells her "Your dad just called. All procedures have been completed. Come with me, I'll show you to your class". "Yes ma'am" she says and follows the principal. The silent time of the students is broken when the principal enters. "Hi class, this is Irye McVenus. She is going to be in your class. Treat her well" The class is mute, some students having funny expressions on their faces. It is after a boy at the back shouts "Hey newbie! Would you stop making your principal look like a clown?" did she realize Irye standing outside gazing at the label with 'Class One' written boldly on it. She wonders how this class too will be. Will it be a lot calmer than the previous one or more noisy. "Miss Irye" she hears someone tell at her and comes back to reality. "Get in and introduce yourself" Principal Catherine orders. Irye walks in and begins "Hi am Irye McVenus...." "We know". the boy from before interrupts. Irye casts a livid look at him and he whispers "Whoa, a freak..sweet". Taking in a breath, she continues "Am sixteen. Looking forward to cooperating with you.Thanks".The tutor shows her a seat which is unfortunately next to that boy's seat. She scowls as she states back at him winking at her. She sits down giving deadly eyes to whoever casts a glance her way till the bell rings for lunch.She stays whilst others rush out to the cafeteria. Those left behind sit down pressing their phones, others chatting with each other. The boy from before laughing loudly with three other guys. Everyone seems to be busy with their friends except for Irye who is idly sitting and looking at nothing in particular. Thinking of the bitter life she lives, she puts her head on her desk and connects her earphones. Raising the volume, she sinks into nothingness and closes her eyes holding back a tear. She feels a tap on her back. "Miss Irye, are you alright?". She quickly removes the earphones from her ears and speaks "pardon?". The blonde tutor with grey eyes scan her face and asks again "You alright?". Irye nods and the tutor returns to explaining about the universe. The day goes by fast and soon the bell rings for closing. "Have a nice day" the tutor comments and leave. Irye's day had been filled with her teachers asking about her. A mysterious name suiting a mysterious girl. She packs her things into her bag. Soon everyone except for the boy from before and the three other guys he was laughing with left the class. They surround Irye and a brunette guy speaks "Hey newb tell us who gave you that name" A blonde guy standing next to him face palms himself. "Seriously, Derrick".he laughs "Hi newb, am Amber" he continues stretching out a hand. Irye looks at the his hand and back at him. "I don't shake hands" she says as she passes by them. "Hey, you dare not walk out whilst we talking to you".the guy from before throws an arm to hold her from behind when the now known to b Amber holds him back. "Blake, stop it. Not today". After some struggle, he straightens himself and walks out of the class. Irye stops outside near her car huffing and puffing while opening the door. Egniting the engine, she drives off. " It's going to be a very long hard term" she thinks to herself.
