C1 Goodbye To BB.G High
CIARA'S POV
Tears roll down my eyes as I saw the scar on Byeol's right cheek .
" I didn't mean to"
Of course I did on purpose but I never expected a huge ugly scar to appear on her fat face.
Byeol leaped forward probably for revenge. The principal stopped her by ordering some seniors to hold her back from hurting me.
I placed my hands on my chest and sighed in relief. "Thank you... "
" I didn't do it for you weirdo!" The principal snapped and gave a long sigh.
I wished the ground could just swallow me as the whole students of BB. G high were staring at me.
" I am not a weirdo sir " I cried but the man wasn't ready to give me a listening ear.
But I continued. " I was on my own before kiara decided to make trouble . I swear it wasn't intentional" I turned and faced Byeol. " tell him Byeol"
"Tell him what, uh?, That you tried to kill me with your claws?" She snapped and my anger returned.
" I don't have claws Byeol, these are my nails" I said waving my fingers at her.
" Liar!" She yelled. "I saw it..." She insisted.
Ae- cha my school mother came to my rescue by interrupts her.
" Saw what Byeol?, Why do you always like making troubles"
" Sn. Ae- cha , I saw her nails grow and..."
" Shut up Byeol !" That came from the principal, her face flushed and she put down her head. "How many times do I need to tell you, infact warn you to stop reading those your useless paranormal novels?. Look at you now, dumb and maybe you might end up useless as your mother" He scolded her and walked away.
Byeol raised her skirt and took to her heels
I fell into my school mother's arm and appreciated her. "Thanks a lot Sn. Ae-cha , you really defended me"
"You are my precious little darling, I will always support you" She pecked me on my cheek and hugged me close to her chest. " I will miss you so much after I graduate next year"
How will I tell her that my Dad is withdrawing me from BB.G high?, I might not even be around for her graduation party. After all we still have eight more weeks before this semester ends.
" Let's go have lunch" She announced and drag me along with her.
After lunch, the principal called my attention to his office through the speaker in the hall. I ran to his office to know what needed my attention.
" Gud afternoon sir, may I come in?" I bowed.
He ignored me and I discovered why,
" This must be a new student, haven't seen her before? "I wondered.
The principal cleared his throat and that jerked me back to reality.
"Sir do you want me to show the new girl round the school ?" I offered. I tried to steal a glimpse of the girl's face but failed as her head is buried in her phone.
"No Miss Ciara thank you very much" He said and I could sense disgust in his tone.
"So why did you call me sir?" I asked politely even though I felt like punching his face.
"Aren't you surprise that there is a new girl?" He asked and I became anxious.
" Yes I am" I replied.
The girl tilted her head and glance at me,then looked away. I still couldn't get her face because of the heavy dark sunshade covering her eyes and the face mask having on her ears.
"Arrrgh!. the pandemic isn't as critical as it was last year" I lamented inwardly.
"But..."
I trailed off deep in thought. "Our school accept new intakes apart from freshmen only when a student is expelled or decides to leave on her own"
"Miss Ciara you are one of the best students that made our school so proud and famous" The principal said and I looked at him suspiciously.
" Is he trying to make me leave BB.G?, I know Dad is financially unstable right now and cannot meet up with my fees. God please help me" I cried inaudibly.
" Miss Ciara Mr. Martin has decided to sponsor you, as in give you a ninety five percent scholarship into one of the biggest private school in Newyork" He finally revealed.
"Isn't he like the top multi billionaire in America?" I asked looking confused.
"Yes dear and I am so happy you are leaving..." He cleared his throat and continued. " I mean I'm happy you are going to a more prestigious school" He giggled and handed some files to the girl.
Waking up and always seeing my Parents around me has always been my dream but I felt a strong urge not to leave BB. G
After some discussion with the new girl, he called a teacher who took her away.
" Don't get me wrong young girl, your father was the one that suggested you withdraw this term, who am I to question him ?" He sighed and handed me all my documents. He picked up his phone and called someone.
"Hello, this is Mr Jim on the phone" He began as the call went through. "Your Dad"
I took it from him and placed it on my ear.
" Hello Papa..."
I couldn't finish my sentence as Dad started giving me all his boring lectures.
" You have to leave first thing tomorrow morning, I already fixed your flight and it's seven am tommorow morning, make sure you start schooling by Monday" He concluded and hung up.
I shrugged because I expected it from him, Dad always does what seems right to him, he never cared about what I actually want. I sighed, gave the phone back to the principal and walked away depressed.
I strolled down the hall to my hostel. I sighted Byeol sitting down in front of her room, I walk up to her and sat beside her. I glance at her face and looked away.
" Bored uh?" I chuckled. " You know, your life from now onward is going to so boring" I added.
"What makes you think so?" She scoffed and looked away.
" You always wanted me to leave BB.G high." I paused and loosen the tag card on my uniform and pointed it out to her. "You can be the class president from now on, I want you to take my place" I offered and she looked at me with the weirdest smirk ever.
" I'm leaving BB.G, infact korea as a whole, I got transferred to a private school in America" I informed her. She smiled, I felt relieved that I was gonna leave this school without enemies.
I stood up and walked up to my door which is opposite hers, I touched the door knob and Byeol called me back whispering.
"What's wrong?, Do you want me to help you with something?" I asked but instead of a reply she nodded and blew out some inaudible words, my hands mistakingly slipped and I fell flat into my room.
I got up immediately and I froze in shock, Byeol ran inside and turned me around.
" Let her be baby Byeol, she has seen it all, nothin left to hide" Sn. Ae- cha said. I turned to look at her and covered my face feeling disgusted.
" C.. cover your..self up, someone might walk in and.. " I shuttered. She burst into laughter and moved closer to me.
" Ciara dear, how I hate your innocency. Don't pretend as if you don't like it"
" Gross!!" I yelled and took some steps backwards. " You were my role model Ae-cha, I can't believe you are a lesbian"
" What do you expect?, We are locked up in this Godforsaken school, allowed to leave the environs only during summer, I have feelings,girl"
" She's right Ciara" Byeol whispered into my ear.
I hissed and walk to my wardrobe and started packing my stuffs. "I will sleep at your place Byeol" I demanded.
I turned to look at the girl in bed with Ae- cha and I chuckled. "Is she the reason why you sat down there like a peahen who lost all her beauty?, You were covering up for her, right?!." I asked Byeol and she nodded. I angrily grab my belongings and left the room hoping to see a kind samaritan to keep me in for the night.
