Chapter 3 At The School
1087 Words
Sabina was a refined girl and a quiet type, but she was the top 1 in class. Her academic excellence can't be beaten by her classmates.
"Alright, class, our top 1 in our Final exams was no other than Sabina Smith," the class professor announced the results of the Senior high final exams.
Almost everybody applauded and congratulated Sabina except for Mitzi and her group.
Mitzi used to hate Sabina since they became classmates. She was the second honors in class and Sabina's rival in academic performances.
"Hmmmp, if I know, she was the favorite of all our professors. her innocent looks deceived them," Mitzi clenched her firsts while talking to herself.
"Hey, don't you think she was doing something nasty to our professor? Perhaps our professors gave her leakage of the examination papers. She always got 100% which is quite unusual," Marj said to Mitzi. Marj was a loyal friend of Mitzi.
"Yup, I think so. Come on let's bully her in the canteen later," Dorcas said. She is one of the Tres Malditas on campus.
Mitzi, Marj, and Dorcas were friends and all of them were spoiled brats. They were academically performing well but can't surpass the excellent rating of Sabina.
Sabina already knew Tres Maldita's reaction every time she excel in their class. She doesn't want to get involved in trouble, that's why she never argues nor engages with them.
Jude happened to be around every time somebody bullies Sabina. He even made friends with some of Sabina's classmates to protect her girl.
Reason also why no boy classmates of Sabina attempted to confess to her.
Jude was the President of the school's organization and everybody knew his stand. They respected Jude and others are quite afraid to offend him. Mitzi had a deep crush on Jude too. The reason why she hated Sabina more. "Sabina seemed to be taking credits in all their academic classes and even Jude is being captured by Sabina's spell," Mitzi thought so.
Beep...
Sabina's mobile phone beeped.
"Baby, l will be waiting for you in the canteen. Let's have our lunch together," Jude messaged her.
Even if they were in a relationship already, it was just yesterday when Jude claimed her as his girlfriend. Sabina's face still reddened. She wasn't used to being called Jude, Baby.
She replied with a smiley emoji to Jude.
Jude knew how shy Sabina was and he smiled while seeing her response.
"My Sabina," he claimed before returning his mobile phone to his pocket. He had seen how Sabina grew up as she was almost his sister and an adopted child by their granny. They grew up together and he knew every single detail of Sabina, her likes and dislikes, her behavior, and even her daily rituals.
"I will never allow anybody to harm my precious Sabina. She was my precious gem, only mine," Jude claimed already in his heart.
Sabina then fixed all her things in her bag and started to head to their canteen. Jude will be there already and she doesn't want him to wait for her that long.
While heading to the canteen, a group of boys whistled. Sabina was embarrassed. She knew that they were all Mitzi's friends. She just passed by and ignored them. She focused on her way to the canteen to meet Jude.
'Hey Sab, you're too sexy," George said while continuing to whistle.
Sabina continued walking and ignored them.
"Whew, such a snob one, dood," Carlo said to George.
George threw his cigarette and approached Sabina, "Hey, why the rush and why offending me," he held Sabina's elbow which almost made her fall to the ground.
"Ouch," Sabina was in pain with how George is holding her elbow.
Jude was walking towards the canteen when he saw George and his friends bullying Sabina.
Jude rushed to Sabina and pushed hard George leading him to fall to the ground.
"You don't have any right to bully my girl," Jude point his finger at George who was still shocked and wounded his elbow. Jude was so angry and almost gritted his teeth. He is holding his fist as he wanted to punch George.
George's friends started to walk away and left George without helping him. They don't want to offend Jude. They were quite afraid of Jude, as he has a strong authority in the school organization.
George was so embarrassed. "I will mark this day, Jude. I'll get back to you," he said angrily while standing up.
George happened to be the son of the school director at Sacred Heart School. He will ask his father to avenge Jude instead.
Jude smiled sarcastically. He already knew what George is thinking of and he was not worried about it.
Even if George's father is the school director, Tito Russel is the major stockholder of the school. If George will try to ruin his reputation in school, he had all the evidence of George's misbehavior in school. There were a lot of CCTV and witnesses around.
Sabina was worried about Jude," Are you alright?" she asked Jude.
"No worries, I am alright. How about you?" he touches Sabina's elbow and caresses it. "Does it hurt still?" he asked full of concern.
"There's a little pain, but I can manage it. Common let's proceed to the canteen. I am already starving," Sabina told Jude. She doesn't want to be the talk of the campus already. There were lots of students murmuring already in front of them and looking at her as if she was the culprit of the school's commotion.
"Alright, let's go. Try to avoid George okay? I do not trust him and his friends," Jude gave a warning thought to Sab. He was a bit worried as he can't be with Sabina's side most of the time.
"Don't worry. I always ignore him," she replied.
"Yeah, you used to ignore him, but he kept on pestering you," Jude said.
Sabina kept quiet as she knew that Jude won't buy her excuses. She held Jude's hand and gave him a signal for them to continue heading to the school canteen.
"Okay, let's just have our lunch together. We still have classes ahead," Sabina told him.
"Okay," Jude said.
The two then looked for a table and sat. They had their lunch together and Jude accompanied Sab to her room. He even advised his junior to look after Sab.
"Thank you, Jude," Sab said to him.
"I will fetch you after our classes," Jude said before leaving Sabina.
