The new student.
SELENE’S POV
I chuckled loudly as Davis left the classroom; he seemed angered by the rumours and was almost sobbing. I observed tears welling up in his eyes as he spoke to me. “Wow,” I said, not believing that he was on the verge of tears because of a simple rumor.
Since Davis was usually the hardest of us all, I did not think he could cry too. I believe I have never seen Davis so vulnerable and in such misery before.
Observing him in such pain made me incredibly happy. “That serves him right.” I mumbled to myself as I watched him leave; it felt good for a while to make Davis suffer as well. He was a bully who did not care about anyone but himself, and he was now being repaid with his own coin.
” I guess he has learnt his lesson.” I murmured to Xavier’s ears as I sat beside him. Our approach had worked faster and more effectively than we had expected. I could not disguise my satisfaction at being able to put Davis in his place.
For the first time, I was able to get back at Davis, and it felt so good to serve him with his own coin.
” Thanks for all of this Xavier.” I mouthed to Xavier while sitting next to him. “It is OK, Selene; I hope you feel better now.” He remarked, and I grinned widely. ” “I do,” I replied. “But did I truly feel better?” I questioned myself after my response even though I was happy I could finally punished Davis, I was not sure I was so happy with him feeling so embarrassed. After the chit – chat with Xavier, I walked to my seat to finish an assignment.
Though I suppose it was fantastic to watch Davis fall off his high horse with tears in his eyes, I was not sure why, I think I did not feel very comfortable with what we had done.
As I sat there contemplating what I had done, I wondered if spreading false rumours about Davis was truly worthwhile. I was not sure if what I did was appropriate, but I felt guilty.
Still in my thoughts, the class teacher strode in, frowning. Everyone took their seats as she went in, accompanied by a lovely girl, but she had no grin, which was unusual for her. I assumed she had been summoned by the principal owing to the stories around her and Davis and probably queried.
“Hello everyone,” she began as she stepped in, without a grin on her face and frowning. I think she was annoyed by everything that was going on, which made me even more uncomfortable. Her companion, who was a gorgeous and intelligent-looking female, had a gleaming smile.
“You must have heard the rumors,” she remarked, exhaling heavily. I am not sure who said any of those things, but they are untrue.’ I tell She continued, and it shattered me even more, I knew all my lies spread around school by me and I felt sorry for making her go through all of this.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
As she spoke, I saw how unhappy she was by the rumours, and her comments made me feel even worse; I could not believe I had done all of this for selfish reasons. I realised I did not feel any better; instead, I felt terrible. I regretted my decision to drag her into all of these mess.
“I should apologise to the class teacher and Davis!!” I murmured to myself, and soon deciding against it. Davis would let everyone know, and the class teacher would not spare me either.” My scholarship!!!” I muttered would be suspended. I was sure I was ready for all of that.
Lost in thoughts, the class teacher words shook me out of my daze.
” Whoever is responsible would be punished.” She thundered and I shook from my reverie. I felt sorry for her; she was one of the kindest teachers at the school, but I wanted something to stick on Davis, which I think that was my motivation for doing what I did.
Spreading the rumours about her and Davis was not aimed at her but Davis. I was sorry for what I did but I could not come out to say the truth as it would ruin my chances at the school and I did not want that. I shook the thoughts not allowing the feelings of remorse to disturb me.
“We have a new student!!. She moved here for personal reasons, and I am confident she will enjoy her time here. Everyone, please make her feel welcome.” She said as she motioned for the new girl to speak to the class and introduce herself.
She was a pretty girl, with well braided hair adored neatly. I noticed Davis lost in himself as he saw her. “Did he like her?” I wondered.
” Hi everyone!!! I am Jade. I just got transferred here.” She said as she smiled broadly, I liked her and wanted her to be my friend. As I turned, I noticed Davis lost in his own thoughts as he looked at Jade, the new student.
A smile played on his lips, and there was a sparkle in his eyes that I hadn’t seen before. It was clear that he was captivated by her presence. Curiosity got the best of me, and I couldn’t help but wonder if he liked her. The class teacher left the class as she was done with the introduction and Jade walked to her seat, which was close to mine.
The way he laughed heartily earlier when she entered the classroom after being so angry about the rumors seemed to suggest something more than just curiosity.
I observed Davis closely, trying to decipher his intentions for Jade. It became evident that he couldn’t take his eyes off her as he stared at her all the way to her seat. She was sitted right beside me and I reached out to her and introduced myself.
“Hello, Jade. My name is Selene,” I said, turning to face her. “Oh,” she remarked, and just then a teacher entered the classroom.
