Chapter 2

"Enough of this drama Kenneth, why do you find so much joy in bullying? " the boy who caught Cassandra spoke.

"Come, stop being boring, I'm not bullying her. Like look at the girl... She doesn't look bad". Kenneth replied.

"Learn to have some self control! " the boy yelled looking at Kenneth with disgust. Not giving Kenneth another moment to talk, he dragged Cassandra with him and left.

"Tsk... Why does he always have to interfere in matters that don't concern him" Kenneth said looking annoyed.

As the boy dragged Cassandra with him towards the library, some group of girls stood there looking at her angrily...

"Gosh! Kate, are you just going to stand there and watch him with that girl?" One of the girls said.

"Let's just say, he helped her out. But I will keep an eye on her" Kate replied and left

...

The boy stepped into the library with Cassandra and closed the door. "Cassandra are you ok? "He asked.

"Y... You know my name? " Cassandra asked confused. They just met today and she can't remember anyone mentioning her name... Could it be that he is a wizard or an angel send to help her?

"Yes I know your name " he said

"H... How? " she asked again

"Uhmmmm... From the principal's office... I went there to get something and I saw your form with your passport on it and your admission later. " he explained

"Oh... " she said

"Next time you have to be careful, if possible, avoid where Kenneth is because he is more dangerous than you think ". He said

"Ok.... Thank you for helping me today. I think I should start heading to class. " she said smiling.

"So... You don't want to know my name? " he said and then realized what he just said... What's wrong with him?

"Oops... Sorry, I.. I would like to... " she said looking embarrassed

Chuckling at her reaction he said "my name is Liam "

"Oh wow, guess the name fits you " she replied thoughtfully

"You think so? " he asked

"Yeah, Liam means protector and you just protected a poor little girl " she said playfully

"I think you should go to your class right now" he add

"Yeah, sure... " she said and left immediately.

As she left Liam stood there looking at the door for a while. "What's wrong with you Liam? Why do you even care to let her know your name.... Or... Could it be that she has done something to you? "

....

Cassandra walked around not knowing which class to entre. 'I should have asked him for directions' she said to herself.

"Cassandra right? " a young woman appeared behind her.

"Yes ma. Good morning " Cassandra said.

"I'm miss Lilian your class teacher... What are you doing outside? Let's go to class " the woman said and started walking away while Cassandra followed her.

....

"Class, we have a new student..." Miss Lilian said as they walked into the class room. "Please introduce yourself " she added as they stood in front of the class.

"My name is Cassandra... And as your new classmate, I hope we get along" Cassandra said smiling, and then someone chuckled.

"Who did that? " miss Lilian asked.

"I did " a girl answered as she stood up.

"And what do you mean by that Kate? " miss Lilian asked.

"Well I will like to know how she got into this prestigious school, and I don't think her parents can afford to pay the fees... Because she looks like someone from a middle class family." The girl said mockingly.

"That's none of your business. Now sit down and keep your mouth shut. Cassandra go sit over there " miss Lilian said pointing at an empty seat close to a girl.

"Hi... I'm Gabriella " the girl said smiling.

"Nice to meet you Gabriella " Cassandra replied with a smile.
