Chapter Five
1086 Words
Next turned out to be an interesting one. As Gianna Bianchi turned early for detention. She seemed enthusiasm filled with her.
I smelled something fishy. She was up to something. I didn’t buy her act as innocent cat.
I can feel that. Yet I kept my silence. She kept eyes down on pile of papers. This time I was more vigilant. I made sure her phone was silent on my table.
About thirty minutes after she said.
“Can I take a break. I need to pee” She pleaded with innocent puppy eyes.
“Yes, go but don’t make it long. If you are planning to escape, next detention is going to be horrible that you ever imagine.” I warned her.
“I will never dream of such thing. Trust me, MS Turner” She said with puppy eyes.
She was gone for around 10 min. She was back and quietly doing her mathematics. As time passed, I looked at keenly. She didn’t even try to raise her head
Then I heard someone suddenly burst my doors open. And a bunch of people rushed in to my room. Mr. Bentman and the boy from yesterday’s fight was in front.
“What the …” Before I could say anything further, I heard a shout.
“She done I knew it “. He yelled.
I looked puzzled looked at Mr.Bentman.
He too looked odd and out of picture. I tried to calm down myself as know Gianna Bianchi has done her nasty pay back to her enemy. Did she take my advice seriously?
“Care to explain what really happened” I asked slowly.
“She did it. My hair...
I lost it….
All because of her. …….” He was actually crying. Then.
He was about to attack her. His friends try hard to control him.
I looked at his hair it seemed to stick as if immersed in egg yolk.
“She put bucket full of super glue in his head. Now he needs to shave all his hair. You were right. I should have suspended her earlier when you told me” Bentman said angrily.
“You are suspended. Ms. Bianchi” Mr. Bentman ordered.
“On what ground. I was here all time doing my detention. Does anybody saw it was me? Can he prove it was me who did that? Ms. Turner can vouch for me. She said confidently putting me in trap.
"Is she saying truth" Mr. Bentman asked me. And thought for a moment.
Should I save her or not
“Yes, she was here all time “I lied without remorse. My voice was cold.
“You are siding her just because she is Bianchi.” The victim with sticky hair accused me.
“No. I am least bother who she is. Yesterday I sided you. Yesterday I asked Mr. Bentman suspend her for you. Yesterday whole world saw her beating you. There was proof. Today no one saw her putting glue in your head, any witnesses’ asked
All were silent. Bentman looked around but no one come forward to testify against Gianna Bianchi. I know Gianna has done her job neatly leaving no trail of her. Mr.Bentman knew he was failed. And nothing can be done. The game is lost. He left without words. So does the crowd. Gianna smiled sweetly as her victim grinned his teeth in helplessness.
“Why did you save me.” she asked.
“If I gave your idea. I am responsible. I know you did that to him. But he can never prove that. And no one can ever prove that. So, you won hands down”
Gianna looked down and said.
“You are right. I did that. I loved that bastard so much. But all he wants is sleep with my twin. He was just using me. I got angry and started beating him. He is narcissistic. he loves his hair so much. Now he will walk bald. That remind him of me. I want to feel him helpless. Just like he joked with his friends I was nothing but time filler for him.”
She was not crying but her face showed the pain. I knew she needed someone. Gianna Bianchi is vulnerable now. Keeping aside my other thoughts I said.
“You had too many issues in mind Ms.Bianchi. You need to talk to someone. May be someone in family” I advised her.
“My family have no time for deject like me. They like my twin more. She fulfills their dream of being Bianchi and I nothing. I am just a time filler.”
“Till now no one talked to me nicely except my brother. You wrecked my head. First time I got away from something actually doing it. Revenge can be sweet. Thank you for that”
I smiled. It is true I want revenge from her family. But I am human. And I knew Gianna need help. Someone she can relate. Maybe I can get another chance for my revenge.
“Have you eaten, Ms. Bianchi”. I asked.
She looked at me with wide eyes.
“Let’s share it. I open my lunchbox. I made some noodles and chocolate milkshake since loved Chinese for my lunch.
“It is yummy. “She said eating the food hungrily. I watched her and thought
“It is dangerous to have her close to me. I have a mission to complete. Too much closeness with enemy will ruin my conscious. I don’t want to feel guilty. I would have loved her if she was not part of Bianchi family.
“Mr. Bianchi…” I called.
“You can call me Gianna. All my friends call me that”
“But I am not your friend. I am your teacher. I can be your mentor not friend. There is a line between you and me and don’t cross that. Remember that always”
She looked at me and said with a smile.
“I will keep that in mind. And I will never cross that line. She promised and continued to eat her food.
But what I don’t know was promises are meant to be broken. And Gianna’s promise’s life was too short.
It was broken just few hours later changing my life forever…..
