PRANKS AND PUNISHMENTS--1

"I will cook all the meals for you for one whole week if you let me go this time and cancel my detention", I claimed.

"I want my meals free of your spit or any other poison", he bargained.

"Deal", I agreed.

"Deal", he consented too as we shook hands and headed back to class.

I walked a little behind him and as soon as we turned round the corner, I stepped at the heel of his shoe making him trip but luckily for him he caught the wall in time and balanced himself back on his steady feet.

"Ms. Diaz, what was that for ?", he glared murderously while seething with rage.

"Oops I am sorry Sir. It happened by mistake", I sweetly apologized. "I promise not to do it again", I said while making puppy eyes.

"Don’t act smart in front of me, Bella. I swear if you pull off another prank then I will lock you up in the bathroom of our apartment and leave you tied up in a tub of ice", he threatened.

What a jerk.

"Ok", I grumbled and we finally entered the classroom, only to come face to face with the Dean herself !

"Mr. Grayson ! Where have you been in the middle of the class and why is their rat poop all over the teacher’s platform ?", she demanded in an angry voice.

Kai for some reason looked towards me and then gave me an evil smirk before he made a puppy face and turned towards the Dean with the most innocent look.

Oh no no.

This looks bad. So bad.

I guess I am in trouble because of this devil now.

"A very good morning to you, Ms Sanchez ! I was trying to find you only", he beamed.

What !?

Noooooo.

He said he won’t rat me out after the deal !!!

"Oh really ? And why is that so ?", the Dean asked surprised.

"This is Bella Diaz, the new student of the Business course, Ms. Sanchez and ….", he trailed off and suddenly dropped his voice to a whisper and continued, "she revealed that she wanted to work extra time as your assistant for the next one week that is till the time Macy is on leave. So I decided to bring her to you before you decided to fill the position", he said while flashing a mischievous grin towards my side.

That’s absolute bullshit !

Just you wait, Kai.

Let my Lycan surface up when I turn 18.

I will make her tear you apart and eat you up limb by limb !!!

"I knew it that you were a very sincere girl, Ms Diaz when I saw you the first time. It is really kind of you to volunteer for the assistant post. You can start from today. Make sure to be in my office after the end of your classes that is at sharp 4 o’clock", the Dean said and trotted out of the class in her visibly painful 3 inch pencil heels.

"That will be all, Ms Diaz. You can go back to your seat", Kai smugged and continued the lesson while I devised ways to get back at him for what he had fucking done.

Bella’s POV

"You can go back to your dorm, dear. You have been very quick and efficient ! It is surprising to see that you managed to do so much that too on the very first day !! I am impressed, Ms Diaz", the Dean praised while beaming.

"Thank you so much, Ma’am", I politely replied and kept back the organized files in their respective shelves. "You are very kind but the truth is that you are a good teacher. It was not difficult to pick up after you showed me the ropes", I genuinely appreciated the higher authority with a smile.

She patted the back of my shoulder and smiled before starting to exit the room.

I suddenly remembered about my accommodation with Kai and swung around sharply to ask the Dean about changing my room but then hesitated.

Will she listen to me ?

As if sensing my sudden moment, she caught me contemplating about blurting out my complaints and chuckled, "You are itching to tell me something, dear but you seem so indecisive about it. How about you spill out your worries and I will help you ?", the Dean suggested with a comforting smile.

"You caught me, Ms Sanchez", I chuckled nervously. "I don’t mean any offence but I guess the system allotted me a room with a male teacher by mistake- with Mr Kai Grayson to be exact", I voiced out my concern outright.

The Dean’s smile got even wider and she shook her head in amusement.

"It is not a system failure, child", the Dean chuckled. "I deliberately accommodated you with my adopted grandson", she added.

I looked up at her in shock and whistled an "Oh !" somehow.

Sensing the need to explain further, the Dean continued, "That child has surely gone through a horrific past before I took him under my care which has sadly made him mature beyond his years. He has been trying to personally repay me by working here and has forgotten that he is a child too and needs to make friends of his own age. Since, he never nurtured a friendship with any of the already admitted students, I saw your admission as a good opportunity for him to interact with someone of his own age and level of intellect. You are a credible student, Ms Diaz. I am sure you will take great care of my Kai", the Dean concluded on a hopeful note and left me stupefied.

The burden of taking care of the devil himself.
