After the class at four, I waited alone inside our room to wait until five. And believe me if I say that I get nervous even though I know how to fight.

Thoughts about Priella's capabilities to fight surfaced in my mind. What if she's a martial arts specialist? What if she does judo or aikido? What if she could kick my lungs off of my ribcage? Is she that strong to be a queen bee in this campus? Should I just back-out?

No, I shouldn't back down. I challenged her before I go to the rooftop to meet Thadd. Just how should I get myself in trouble now?

"Yo, dude, what are you doing in there?" I saw Thadd poking his head inside our room as he scanned his eyes around me.

"I'm quite in a dilemma right now, Thadd. Tell our mates that I'll be coming home at six." I crossed my arms and closed my eyes to concentrate about planning of what to do later.

"Dilemma? What, someone tries to challenge you?" he asked then gets inside and took a seat in front of me.

"She challenged me first for she knew I am the newbie in this campus, but I declined and told her we will meet at the back of the building later."

"Stupid, why would you do that?"

I opened my eyes and glared at him. "Thadd, I don't bow down to some bitch especially that freaking Prielle who claims to be a queen bee in this campus."

He shot up his left brow and leaned his face on the backrest of the chair.

"Prielle? As in, Priella Quistrana? Shit, that girl plays dirty, said by my classmates," he said. Worry evident on his face.

"You mean?"

"This trashy queen will never stop you until she gets even, although she's the one who picks up the fight first."

I scoffed. "Wow, Thadd, thanks for a heads up. Didn't know you could gather some informations about that girl."

"What can I say? I'm a charmer," he boasted as he posed himself like a cool kid on a poster.

"Nah, you just get informations through gossips."

"Amelia, that's so mean!" he exclaimed but I just rolled my eyes on him. I don't know why he's still here, tsk.

"Go to Kherst now and tell him I will get home by six." He had no choice but to nod and left the room. I intended to turn off my communication devices so my mates will not hear about this. Especially Keio who is still a kid. He doesn't have to know about stuffs like this.

Having him in our team is already a risk, what more if he finds out about the fight?

He may not be my brother, but I truly care for that kid. He was raised by his grandfather who is now dead during the second phase and had no parents to guide him well.

When I saw in my watch that the time had ten minutes left before it could struck five, I shot up from my seat and grabbed my bag before leaving our classroom.

As my pace goes farther from the room, my sweats felt colder than usual. My mind noted instantly to smack Thadd's head for making me nervous by giving an information about Prielle who plays dirty against everyone.

I approached the area and found no one in there, not a shadow was found. My forehead creased and concluded something when I felt like something was not right.

My hand fished out my phone and dialled a number that my hand could touch first.

"Amelia, get home n—"

"I need some backups at the back of the building. Don't bring Keio." I cutted off whoever I called and turned it off.

As soon as I put my phone inside my bag's front pocket, I felt a hand that was about the hit me, so I grabbed the hand and twisted the arm of its owner.

"Fuck! Ah! Stop, stop, stop!" I gasped when I heard Jasper's voice behind my back and immediately let go of her hand. I think I almsot broke her bones.

"Jasper! What are you doing in here?" I asked her as I grabbed her injured arm and massaged it lightly.

"I was curious about you since you were the only one left in our room awhile ago! Then I overheard from your conversation with your friend that you will be fighting against Prielle the queen bee right now, are you nuts?"

"I'm not. I just don't want to bow down to anyone else." I saw her sighed and took her arm.

"Gosh, me neither! I'll just grab some first aid kit if something bad happens." Before I could make her stop, she already fled away.

Now that I'm alone again in here, what's next?

I heard a clapping sound coming from my far left, so my head instantly turned to where it came from.

Priella.

"I thought, you could be a coward to not accept my challenge of duel, newbie."

"I don't bow down to those undeserving." She chuckled and snapped her fingers.

And a group of boys gathered from nowhere.

"Bow down to me or fight against my men."

"Why would I fight against boys? Let's have a one-on-one duel, Priella Quistrana."

A sound of cackled guns made my brows to shot up.

"Playing dirty, is that how you handle all students in here? How fascinating."

She held her hand and gestured to put down the guns.

"Let's fight." She then ran towards me. But before I could dodge her, I saw something glinting from her hand, making me step aside that caused her to fall down to the ground.

She shrieked and let out a knife. Before she could hit me, I grabbed her arm and flipped her over before taking the knife off of her hand.

"You know you can kill anyone with this, why play dirty, Queen bee? You should be a good example to the students in here, not act superior."

"You don't know me! I'm a daughter of a powerful businessman in this town!" She then lounged to attack me, but before her fist could reach my face, I slapped her face and pressed her nape. Causing her to instantly sleep.

The boys tried to get to me but they're all weak and couldn't withstand with my method of taking them down.

After all of them were put to sleep, I looked at my wristwatch and saw that it's quarter to six.

I checked my body if there were signs of blood, but all my eyes could see were traves of sweats and some soil stains, so I wiped them off using my handkerchief.

Very first day in this Academy, Amelia, and you're making a bad record.

Good thing, no instructors around in here.
