Chapter 2: Chapter 2: First day
I switched the TV on and reminisced my first day of high school. Generally, for a student on the first day making friends is not easy and neither is making enemies, but my luck played me wrong.
"Hi Catherine Walnut" a girl called me out during the break outside the class. She walked towards me, heel to toe and fanning her hair in air. Her friends laughed with her when she called my name wrong
"Catherine Walter is the name" I corrected her, she might have heard it wrong when I introduced myself earlier in the day
"Whatever, I don't care, I am Natasha Paige" she extended her hand and then pulled it back as I advanced to shake it "Brenda and Trudy" she pointed to her right and then left respectively
"Just don't fall for my boyfriend" she said in a low tone and then turned to walk away "you can call me Nate, bye Walnut" she said as she strutted away
It was evident that she was messing with my name, she was not mistaken but she intentionally messed with my name
Trudy and Brenda laughed as they walked away. Trudy acted out a motion of breaking a walnut and they laughed harder.
I didn't like the way I was treated, rather than anger, I felt upset that there were such people that still existed to this day. As I was making a mental note of the girls, I felt a hand on my shoulder and I cringed away
"Sorry" the voice said as I turned around.
A handsome boy stood in front of me, hazel eyes that held the world in them
"Hi, I am David, nice to meet you" he held his hand out
"Catherine Walter" I shook his hand and recoiled it immediately as I felt a spark on my palm
"Nice name, it's kind of Australian" he commented but when I showed no reaction he continued embarrassingly "you must be new to the school"
"Yes,....you are the sub-prefect?" I pointed at the badge that he had on his left breast pocket
"Yes, I am the sub-prefect of the day and night classes here" his voice held a high sense of pride "I'll show you around the campus" he continued
"Why?" I asked confused
"There is no one who knows the campus better than me" he led the way as I followed him keeping my distance
Walking down the hall way I saw Natasha and her gang standing round the corner and glaring at me. As we passed by them, I heard the mini discussion
".....David is with that walnut...."
"Can you believe it?"
"I thought you and David were....."
"Not were Trudy.... David is mine and he will always be...." Natasha cut Trudy short as we were out of hearing.
The school was humungous as David toured the school with me. But that was not even half of what I had heard of this school
"What about the right wing, David?" I asked him as we passed through that area
"That is for the night class, unless you have a special pass you cannot go through that" he tapped on his badge
"I see"
"Let's go to the staff building"
We headed to the main building that had the administration and the staff rooms. We headed through the corridors as he pointed out the different professors rooms and then we headed to the top floor and stopped in front of a large room. The sign board read "Principal's office".... Why did he bring me here
I looked at him as he knocked on the door. The voice from inside gave us the permission to enter
He opened the door and led me inside. The man that stood in front of me was in his mid-thirties, very tall and something about his smile was odd. As I was checking him out, he cleared his throat and my eyes flew to his face... what an embarrassment!!
"Good morning David and Ms. Walter. Have a seat"
David and I sat on the opposite chairs
"I am Prof. Michael Moretti. I remember Sir Walter, he was such a good man, you are lucky to have him as your dad"
What was lucky about about having a foster dad that you could barely communicate with, but I swallowed myself and answered him "Thank you Prof. Micheal, that is very nice of you to say that"
How did you even know him? I thought internally
"You can call me Prof. Mike" he interrupted my thoughts as he smiled
"Prof. I think Ms. Walter is a good candidate for the prefect of the day and night class, what do you think?" David interrupted us
"I have seen her CV and her previous records, I also think so, and if you are strongly recommending her then I'll take your word for it. Be sure you are making the right choices"
"I am sure about it this time" David replied
This time.... I wondered as to what happened to the previous one but I held my curiosity
"Ms. Walter, I will be assigning you to take the place of the prefect for the day and night classes. Your meetings with the students of the night class will be minimal, you just have to make sure that no day class student stay back after 5:00 pm. Also you will be making sure that the night and day class students do not mingle. Rule breakers will be punished. If you see the night class students making a move on the day class students, you have to stop them immediately and also inform the night class president about it immediately. Do not take action against the night class students no matter what"
That was one long emphasis on the night students. Were the night class students some rich students made out of gold.... I wondered
"Yes Sir, I will do my best" I agreed on the position because I will be allowed to see the right wing of the campus...and yes that was the only reason I agreed to the position
"I will have the manual send to your class... don't forget to read it through CAREFULLY" he emphasized on the last word
"For sure Prof."
"You both may leave now, and David, introduce her to Prof. George, Mark and Liza"
"Yes Sir"
We bid our farewell and left the room
"The professors are?" I asked
"They are the only professor who deal with both the night and the day class students, they also help the prefects out"
"How many prefects are there?"
"2"
"Who is the other one?"
"Just you and me" David shocked me with this announcement
"What about the others?"
"There are none" he answered clearly
"Then why me?" I questioned him
"So that we could be together"
"What? why?"
"Cause you are different from others..... I "
We heard some shouting and screaming as we headed outside. David excused himself and he went to see what the commotion was all about. I watched from far as he tried to settle the situation.
"uhm" someone cleared their throat behind me. I turned and it was none other than Trudy, Natasha and Brenda
"yesss??..."
"Listen here you walnut...." Natasha pointed at me
"Its Walter, Ms. Paper" someone from behind me cut her off silent
I turned around to see who had the guts to go against this psycho, however she was, she had one hell of attractive features, top to bottom.
"Excuse me" Natasha's voice soared in the air as she lifted her eyebrows at this other girl
When the girl said nothing, I turned back to Natasha "What do you want to talk about?"
"Stay away from David, he is my boyfriend"
"That is none of my business" she was clearly messing with the wrong girl, "first off, David approached me not the other way around and secondly, I am a prefect now, like it or not, we have to work together, don't worry, I don't fall for other peoples boyfriend"
I patted her shoulder and left the scene
"What was that?..." I heard Brenda say as I walked away
Since we were done for the day, I headed to my car, but I felt someone following me. Turned around only to be faced with the same girl as before
"How can I help you?" I asked her but she said nothing
"What do you want?" I was getting slightly annoyed as she just stared at me but said nothing
I turned around to walk away again when she spoke "I am Tiffany," she extend her hand towards me "Nice to meet you, Catherine... hope we can be friends"
Oh so she just wanted to be friends ... why not? She would be my first female friend in school
I extended my hand and shook hers "Nice to meet you too Tiffany, let's be friends"
Now that was easy... 2 friends in one day, that's a goal I easily scored
David joined in on the conversation and minutes later we all headed to our respective homes
