The Stonner's Chick

I made my way through the gates of the school after showing the watchman my student id. I can see the school’s bad boys and jocks standing in groups talking with their friends and gangs. Expensive cars are entering the gates as I walk to the main doors of the school.

On the other side of the parking lot stood the cheer girls, the school’s beautiful girls. They all looked really happy. Some of the boys are eyeing the girls with so much lust in their eyes. It takes me ten minutes to reach the main door of the school.

The volunteers near the help desk looked bored and unhappy as they explained and helped the newcomers, freshmen year students and transferred students. I don't make any eye contact as I speed walk.

I lowered my head so that no one can notice me, I don’t like getting attention. I continued walking through the huge main gate of the school and made my way to the office room to collect my schedule for this senior year. I have a pleasant smile on my face.

"Excuse me, roll call number: 2023, senior year," I say gently. The women beyond the oak desk asked my name too so that she can give me my schedule. She handed me my sheet and new locker keys.

"Thank you," I collected my sheet and went through the classes I have. I have English in my first period and I really thanked God.

I don’t have any friends. I really felt lonely and missed my Zoe. I stood there watching the students hug their friends and making new friends. The hallway is filling with students as the minutes passed.

I know where my homeroom class is so I didn’t waste a minute, I went to my class. I wasn’t surprised seeing, I’m the first one entering the class. It always had been same, I really don’t like the idea of getting bullied by the jocks and barbie girls of the school.

I blew out a puff of air and sat in the second-row middle seat. I observed the room, they have repainted the whole school and added good furniture. I played with my new locker keys and turned around to see where my locker is.

I stood up keeping my bag on the floor, I went to the lockers at the back of the class. That's the new change in the school system we are having this year. Mine is in the middle besides Devin, I smile tracing my finger over the beautifully carved name on the locker.

I open it, nod my head looking at the space inside the locker. I change the password before wandering back to my seat. I wait for the class to start filling; we still have ten minutes for the class to start.

Slowly the class started filling, I bobbed my leg continuously watching the students enter the class happily. To be honest, I'm a little bit nervous. I can hear the students talking about the new class system. We are going to sit in the same class as in the homeroom class. We don’t have to change the class according to the subjects.

I'm quite revealed that I don’t have to run into popular boys and girls at the school. I'm tensed about the students who are going to stay in this room. Only a few seats left, I bite my nails keeping my head down.

The ratio of the class is going to be 15:15 which is 15 boys and 15 girls. The bell rang signalling that the teacher is going to enter the room at any moment. The girls who are sitting beside me started gossiping.

Curiously I looked around and saw that Veronica and her minions are in the same class as me. I really don’t like her or her girls. They are pure evil in my eyes. They are the real bullies of the school.

Mainly, Veronica, she doesn't show any mercy or anything she just likes people beg her to leave them alone. She is wearing another expensive black dress with a jacket and heels that made her look tall compared to others. She smiled as she took powerful steps towards her desk with her peeps following behind.

She is beautiful, no doubt in that. She doesn't cake her face with makeup. She knows how to do her makeup and how to dress up. With her short hair and baby blue eyes which make her look like an angel makes everyone turn their heads to see her.

Almost everyone loves her even though she is evil. She even got fans from other schools. Veronica is picky when it comes to friends, she only selects the people who benefit her and hates the students who belong to the social welfare community.

Being the queen b***h of the school she thinks everything is in her control. Her eyes met mine, I saw the pure disgust in her eyes before they turned into an evil glare. I shifted my gaze to the floor unzipping my bag to take my new notes out.

From the peripheral view, I saw her sitting in the back to the left corridor leaving the back desks in the right corridor. "Oh my god..." I heard the comments from behind.

A good looking man wearing a white shirt which is tucked in and black trousers entered the classroom with books in his hands. I blinked my eyes because he is handsome. He stood tall on the dais, scanned around before smiling which made his dimples pop out.

"Good morning everyone, I'm Shane Taylor. I will be teaching you English and will be your homeroom teacher for the rest of the year," he introduced himself placing the books on the table.

His gaze halted at the back for a few seconds before he turned around and wrote down the name of the first lesson. "Not wanting to waste much time, let us do the pre-reading activity," he said. I calmly looked around to see the girls reactions.

I saw some girls looking at him as if he is a model and yeah, he looks hot. No wonder why they are looking at him with dreamy eyes. He started teaching the first lesson of the textbook, after 15 minutes of the class, suddenly the door opened with a loud sound and revealed the Greek god of the school.

″Lorenzo Mckenzie″ along with his two close friends Travis and Devin. 

He is treated as the king of the school because of his looks. His father owns the school’s property and he is the only heir of his father's business empire all around the world. His looks are so dangerous, that girls are always ready to throw their body at him. His eyes are so cold. They never hold any emotion except mysterious glint. But he is truly a greek god and great piece of work.

He has an evil smirk on his face knowing that everyone is looking at him with so much fear and girls with so much lust in their eyes. My gaze shifted to his brown locks of hair which are lazily falling on his face covering his forehead. He brushed them back, while his cold blue eyes lazily scanned the room.

My heart started beating fast because of nervousness and fear. For a second I felt like my heart stopped beating. If Veronica is evil Lorenzo is 1000 times more of Veronica. He is the psychopath and everyone know not to cross his dark side when he gets angry or mad.

I know for a fact that he is a demon and bad topic. I quickly diverted my eyes from him. He made his way to what means like the last row. I heard so many things and stories of Lorenzo, I never crossed my paths with him even though we were in the same classes. 

He doesn't hang out with others except for his gang. they say that they had been friends from childhood, he is short-tempered and bad at academics. I bite my lip knowing I'm in trouble, Veronica and Lorenzo with his boys in the same class as me is bad...

"I heard that Veronica knowingly changed her class when she got to know that Lorenzo is in this class," the girl to my right whispered to her friend.

"Did you see her f*******: posts?" the other girl asked. Even though I don't want to hear, I can hear their whispers clearly.

"What about it?" the first girl asked.

"She spent the whole summer with Lorenzo's family. They went to their private island property. She and Lorenzo seemed so cosy. I think they are going to date each other," the second girl whispers.

"Aren't they a couple?" the first girl whispers.

"Nope, they have a fling going on. Like fuckbuddies..." the second girl whispers.

"Ssh... we can hear from you. Watch what you are speaking," I heard a boy say. 

Mr Taylor started asking some questions present in the pre-reading activity to random people. I crossed my fingers praying that he doesn't pick me up. Thankfully the class ended soon as it is the first day. the classes went on, we didn't learn anything important, only introductions of the first lessons were taught.

Most of them in the class are busy staring at Lorenzo, his boys and Veronica. Even the front seaters are interested in gossiping about them and their f*******: posts. I do have a f*******: account but I don't use it as I don't have friends in it. the only posts I get is memes, some selling posts, cake making posts or dye posts. 

We have English first, then calculus. Soon, it was lunchtime. I made my way to the library, I always found peace there and it’s the only place in the whole school which I love the most. I always ate there reading some romantic novel. The only thing I hate is the library is far away from our block. It is almost at the back as students don't go to the library only a few like me visit the library.

I slowly pushed the huge door of the library. Our school is one of the best schools, it holds so much history with it. Our library is one of the best and wonderful place. I smile at the librarian showing my library id. I smile looking at this wonderful calm place, only two students signed in the register.

 I made my way deep into the racks of books. I walk to my way to my favourite place 1st floor, where you find all kinds of romance books. Actually, I personally prefer erotic books. 

Two sofas were placed beside the huge glass where you can have a great view of the forest and long-lasting road. It is a private property lasting some miles so you don't see any buildings or any houses near the school property. It's peaceful and sometimes scary.

I went through the books. They filled the racks with new collections and new books, my fingers greedily go through the names. I'm eager to take some babies home today. I like to read the endings first then I decide to read it. If I like the ending of the book, I will complete the book. I took out a book of era 1950′s. It’s about how an Italian mafia man fell in love with a countrywoman. Aww!

I really have a sweet spot for mafia men and their stories. I landed on the floor with a light thud and opened my homemade lunch box. Which consists of a chicken sandwich.

I slowly started reading the book. I was so into the book, that I forgot that I'm five minutes late for my next class. I quickly put the bookmark and kept it in its original place before rushing towards the class.

"How did I forget about the class?" I ask myself as I run towards the block.

I don’t know if I’m lucky or not, because the teacher was not present when I reached my class. I was out of my breath when I made it to class. And it got the attention of the whole class, probably thinking "Why the f**k she is running."

I gulped the saliva which formed in my mouth and held my face low as I sat in my seat silently, I kept my phone on silent. The teacher entered the room making a weird sound with her crane. 

"Spanish kids leave the class, the other French students from 12B will be joining us. Make it quick," the old lady spoke placing her books on the table. I'm a French student so I stayed back and waited as the students left the class and others started filling the empty seats.

By the end of the day, we got homework from our French ma'am and Physics sir. I pick my bag and wander to the library block to collect the books. It was difficult as the halls are filled by students and Lorenzo being in my class made the hallways block because students blocked the entire path.

Some of them even pushed me to aside. Frowning I went to the library then collected the books. I walked out of the school gate, made my way to the metro station along the pathway.

I really love here and our town because of it’s evergreen trees and forests. I feel at peace walking along the silent road which is covered by the forest both the sides, I feel the little droplets of water falling. The day went well.
