The Elite Academy is not for Me

The bad vibes

Anyway, after the opening speech was over. The other students gave us flower badges, we were allowed to leave the hall if we wanted to. So I sneaked out of the hall to get some fresh air. I have to say the badges are a good idea

The suffocating atmosphere was killing me. I loosened the front buttons and sat on the green grass, letting the fresh air, brush past my cheeks I want peace.

Just as I was about to sit for a while I heard some yellings behind me.

"Hey, this is one of the outcasts. Let's teach her a lesson shall we?".

"But the headmistress-".

"Don't worry about her. I'll cover up for us don't worry."

I became curious to know who was speaking so loudly.

I tiptoed myself, to the source of the strange voices.

What I saw was A girl with bright red hair, with twin tails corners a girl, with two of her friends.

"Let me go," the girl they caught was on the verge of tearing up.

Seeing her beg like that I could hardly standstill. But I couldn't jump in without thinking so I decided to keep it low. I watched from the corner what they were doing.

What are they trying to do to this girl?

The other girl, held the girl by the arm, and the other one held her other and the one in the middle, the leader, stared at the girl whom they were torturing.

‘’ What’s your specialty by the way?’’ the girl in the middle asked.

The girl whom they held onto, lowered her eyes and replied,’’ Baking cookies and stuff.’’

Hearing that everyone chuckled and started bursting out in laughter.

‘’ Cooking? With this skill, you came into the academy? Wow, great. I could never expect to come here with the cooking skill only. You need to have some guts for this don’t you?’’.

‘’ Shall we let her cook something for us?’’ the other girl comments.

‘’ Yeah, let her.’’

‘’ P-please spare me. I don’t want to get into any trouble with you.’’ The faint voice of the girl was enough to make anyone cry.

But these didn’t melt the strong heart of those bullies who were not leaving the girl alone.

My heart is aching in pain to see her getting bullied so much.

‘’ Oh my, we are not going to leave you so easily. Come on, cook something right now for us. We are hungry,’’ commanded the girl.

‘’ And bored also,’’ added the other.

‘’ Entertain us.’’

‘’ Come on.’’

‘’ You know how things work in the academy right? Unless you entertain us we won’t let you stay here. Remember that.’’

The bullied girl started crying loudly.

‘’ Why are you doing this to me? What have I done to you? I didn’t do any harm did I?’’.

The other girl smirked.

‘’ Your fault is you are an outcast. And this is why you are bullied.’’

‘’ Now do as you are ordered to.’’

'' You don't belong here, the more early you know it, the more early you will be getting accustomed to this place. And that's better for you.''

Where does she belong? What are these people talking about? What did they even mean by outcast? What the heck is wrong with this academy? I don’t understand the mentality of these people.

They are torturing her so much. Can’t I do something to stop them?

‘’ We have to teach her the position outcasts have in this place or else she’s also going to act all high and mighty, which is not good at all. Let’s make her the example which others outcasts will follow.’’

The redhead girl produced fires in her hands, then brought it near the hem of the bullied girl’s skirt.

She’s going to set her on fire? What? There’s no way she can do that. I have to teach her a lesson now.

The bullied girl closed her eyes, not wanting to shed any tear any longer.

I stepped forward, walking towards them, but before I had entered their vicinity, someone came to her rescue.

Clinton arrived at the spot and blew away the fire in the hands of the redhead.

‘’ What are you doing Kyle?’’ he comments, giving a long face back to her.

He seemed pissed off by this behavior of hers.

‘’ You? Clinton what are you doing here?’’.

All three of the girls were shocked. They became alarmed by the presence of Clinton.

‘’ I came to get some fresh air and what are you doing? Playing with another newcomer again?’’ he turned to the bullied girl.

She stopped crying seeing someone coming to her rescue.

‘’ It’s none of your matter. Get out of this place. Let us handle it.’’ She shrugged.

‘’ Is this the way you call it handling? She’s scared. And stop bulling new people. They are not your puppets. If you keep bullying her then I’ll inform the council members. I hope you won’t like that.’’

They became silent hearing the name of the council.

‘’ Hey, let’s go. We don’t want to get in a mess just because of this girl only. Let’s go.’’

‘’ We will remember this. Next time you try to snatch our prey, we won’t leave you alone. Let’s go girls.’’

They ran away with their legs between their tails.

I guess, they deserve that. But I didn’t imagine Clinton to be such a nice guy.

I have to say, my image of him has changed.

The girl seems to be at ease as well. I guess, there’s no point in me butting in. I’ll go and do my job, that would be for the best.

Let’s roam around the place, I don’t want to see horrible people like them again.

But, one thing is certain, I glanced back to where I was sitting.

This academy gives me the creeps. It’s not for everyone I guess.
