Denville is a big town. I would have enjoyed it ninetieth century buildings and lush green mountains and scenery of nature if my mind was not unsettled. To enjoy beauty, you need a calm mind or beautiful nature calms you down. But my mind is not anywhere near that.
Mia constantly asked me whether I am alright or not. I just say I am trying. But the truth is that I am never alright. And never will be. The scars I got in body will heal but my mind…………
But life can’t be stand still. It needs to move on. But I buried fire with in me. I walked to my class with a new hope. I will live. I walked to my class room after getting my schedule praying that this would be a normal day for my new start.
But………..
Even before entering the room, I heard loud noises of cheering. The noises were high pitched coming from class room. Like a fight. It was indeed fight.
As I looked in indeed, they were fight like two ferocious c***s. But difference is that one is hen not c**k.
A girl dress as boy was hitting a boy. But it was battle of equals. Boy seems stronger than the girl. But girl was more skilled and focused. She jumped in air and hit the boys head hard. He was least expecting that. Someone had thought that girl well.
He fell down hard. He was bleeding. He was slowly trying to get up. But the girl had no intention to leave him. She sat on his chest and began to hit him more severely. The situation is getting out of control. This need to stop.
“Stop this now.” I said in strongly. The crowd suddenly become silent as they noticed me.
The girl looked at me and ignored me.
“Stop her, else all of you pay for this I threatened.
It worked. They guessed I am really someone. And rushed to separate the girl from the injured boy.
“Take him to doctor” I ordered and two boys helped him move and they rushed to medical room.
“And you, to principal’s office” I ordered the girl.
She gave me wide smile, and it took me another half an hour to understand that meaning of that smile.
Principal Charles Bentman was short man with round rimmed glasses and with hair which resembled bushes looked shabby in cloths which was too unfit or him. He gave me cynical look and heard my story quite uninteresting manner. His answer to came in similar manner.
“We can’t suspend her. She belongs to Bianchi family and run the college.” Principal Charles Bentman said pretending to be helpless. I got his point. He can’t take wrath of Bianchi family.
Another Bianchi to mess my life. They come to me like a magnet. The attraction rates are too high. I cursed.
“So, you just let her free all these troubles” I asked angrily.
“Maybe we can give her detention. “Mr. Bentman said still eating his burger. said and I gave him any look and he continued,
“Gianna Bianchi is Your student. It is your duty to make her model student. So, you decide her punishment and I leave her to you” Mr. Bentman washed his hands just like he washed his hand after eating food and handing over me trouble named Gianna Bianchi.
An hour later when I returned to my room after lunch that girl was cleaning my office.
“Stop. I didn’t ask you clean my office Ms. Gianna Bianchi, so stop”. I said.
“Detentions are not new for me. Usually I get clean staff room. I can’t be punished severely. All fear my family except you . But I guess you are new will soon learn what I am really” she said with smirk.
“She right. But I have already learned my lesson in bitter way” I thought.
I am not the usual teacher. I have different set of punishment for you and trust me. You will love” I assured her.
“What that must be. I am waiting eagerly” She replied.
I dumped pile of papers on my table.
“I heard you love mat very much. Solve it. You have an hours’ time. “
“You are cruel. I hate math.” Gennie yelled.
“Voice down Ms. Bianchi, start now. Else you won’t be going home today.”
When I returned, a surprise was waiting for me. She gave me papers and said
“I am done. Ms. Turner. Now can I go”
she finished her work before time and keeping me wondering how she did so fast.
It was not humanly possible to finish these problems in half an hour. But Gianna Bianchi just did that. How? I know she hates maths
Then it sparks hit me.
She used her phone. She fooled me. I am sure if I check her I won’t find her phone. I knew she cheated but I can’t prove it This girl is smart.
“You can never prove that I did cheating” she said reading my thoughts’
“Exactly Gianna. I do want the same point to understand by you”
She gave me puzzled look trying to decode my words.
“I don’t want to know why you are beating that boy blue and black. You are smart woman. You know yourself found solution for your problem. Sometimes solutions simple even though questions are complex. Why don’t you apply it”?
She gave me wicked smile.
“Ms. Rosalie, I think I am going to like you a lot. As she walked out Mia entered in my room.
“Who was that”
“Gianna Bianchi, my new student.” I said to her calmly.
“Stay away from that family Rosalie. You will burn again. “Mia warned me.
“I can’t help it. Bianchi’s come to like iron is attracted to magnet” Then smiled.
“I am afraid” Mia said.
“Don’t worry of Bianchi family. I haven’t done anything to her. I will keep my distance.” I said assuring her.
“I am afraid of your smile Rosalie. If you can smile after all that happened to you then you are up to something”
“you think too much Mia. She is just my student and she is here for detention. That’s all”
Mia looked at me not so trusting attitude. Still she said
“I trust you Rose. Keep away from trouble especially to that kid”
“Sure “ I lied with smile.
