Rebirth Of An Abused Girl

Chapter 6 : Choosing Subjects

Rosalyn stopped in front of their director's office and knocked on the door. She heard a faint voice coming from the other side of the door, 'Come in,' She slowly pushed the door opened and entered. Her eyes fell on the director who was so busy with paperwork that he didn't even raise his head to see to whom he permitted to come inside. 

After closing the door, she faced their director. She politely said, "Good morning, sir. I am Rosalyn Evans. My father told me to meet you as soon as I reach our school." Lifting his head, he looked at Rosalyn keenly.

The director nodded to her and said, "Yes, I told that to Mr. Evans as I need to talk to you about the subjects you are going to choose for your higher studies. Please take your seat, Ms. Evans." 

Nodding, she came forward and sat on a chair. She observed her surroundings with great interest and was waiting for their director sir to say why he asked her to meet him. 

Oh, subjects! I have to choose a stream to study for the next two years. She told to herself and sighed softly. 

He gave Rosalyn a form and said indifferently, "This form is for you to fill which subjects you like to choose for eleventh standards. Your batch is now in their final year, but for your accident, you missed one year of school. Take your time to put subjects on this form. You can take help from me, or your teachers or your friends. By the result of your tenth grade, you got the advantage to choose any stream you want to study. But I suggest you take those subjects which will be useful for your higher studies." 

Director was shocked to see Rosalyn's report card of the tenth standard. He knew Rosalyn used to be a tormentor, a big bully. Despite being a bully, her brain was sharp when it comes to her studies as well.

Felicity was confused as she doesn't know what Rosalyn wanted to take for higher studies. After focusing on Rosalyn's memory, she did not get anything, except plotting against weak people to bully them. 

She sighed internally. She looked at the director and said truthfully, "I don't know what I should choose, sir. It will be better if you help me with it as you have been aware of my performance in classes or examinations."

Director was not sure about what to say. As much he comes to know from Rosalyn's teachers and attendance sheet, Rosalyn used to bunk her classes, and even if she attended her classes, either she was throwing out from her class for misbehaving with her teachers, or she used to disturb her classmates. What a troubled girl! He sighed.

Director knew he needed to stay neutral and help her in the way Rosalyn wants and he could not go on the bad side of Evans, else the higher authority might throw him out from their school. He was only hoping Rosalyn would not make any trouble after she became reunited with her friends. The whole school's atmosphere got changed as soon as Rosalyn stepped into her school premises. 

He has a feeling something is defiantly going to happen soon. Clearing his thought, the director told Rosalyn, "Do you like to solve mathematical problems, Ms. Evans? By the marks in your science subjects, I suggest you take science, you know. You are better at science more than the arts. I think you should think about it." Taking a deep breath, Rosalyn thought about whether it would be wise to take science in her class eleven. 

I need to see if I could manage with those subjects for the next two years. I believe I can, but I need to attend some classes to know about the syllabus and the facility teachers. 

Rosalyn thought for a moment and said with a nod, "I will submit this form later. I need time to decide." 

The director nodded. He suggested, "You better attend science classes to see if you can carry on with those subjects or not. You can talk with your teachers. You will get the routine outside in the way of the main entrance. There you are going to see the time and room no. there." She nodded and stood up. 

She said with a slight smile, "Thank you, sir." Then she turned around and left their director's office.

As she stepped out, she came face to face with lots of curious or frightened eyes. Seeing her, they all scattered away from that hallway. Felicity ignored everyone just in the same way Rosalyn used to do before her accident. She went toward the notice board and began to find the science routine table. 

As she got to see the routine, her eyes fell on Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, and Chemistry. Felicity loved to solve mathematics a lot. Focusing on Rosalyn's memory, she got to know Rosalyn did love Mathematics. So, it was fixed that she was going to take Mathematics for her class eleven. The first class period of eleven standards in the science group was Maths. She needed to choose three more subjects and one of them will be her optional subject. She sighed. Her heart was beating loudly in the excitement to start a new journey. 

So, she went to the designated classroom. Luckily the teacher did not enter before her. As she entered that class, the room turned dead silent. Some were trembling in fear and some were putting a straight face but deep inside, from boys to girls, everyone was scared to see her in their classroom. 

Now, what am I going to do to them? Am I a ghost to them or some sort? They need to stop seeing me as a threat. I will not bully any one of them. She sighed helplessly and decided to ignore them and take her seat in the front row.
