Kings of the Underworld
Chapter 1
It's a new day for Uri as she is changing schools mid-session.
Due to her introverted nature she hates this change but her best friend had changed school when the session started who she wasn't going to miss her previous school very much.
The morning Uri got up and got ready for school and got on the school bus where everyone started at her because no one knew her.
Uri
💭Where do I sit do they have assigned seats or can I sit anywhere
Ella
Sissy want to sit with me
Uri
Sure dear but can I sit on the window seat otherwise I'll sit somewhere else.
Ella
Sure but from now on you always sit with me,
Uri
I can't sit on the first seat let's shift to the second last seat
Ella
Sissy what's your name?
Ella
Wow your name is cool my name is Ella Brown
The bus stopped to let another kid get on
Uri
Let's go seat at the back
The bus reaches school and Uri decides to drop the girl to her class.
She then heads to the office of the teacher in charge for grade 11 and 12
Uri asks a girl for directions and reaches the office and knocks on the door.
Uri
Good morning ma'am. I am Uri Smith, and I have just changed schools I got an acceptance mail and it said to reach you to find out my section.
Mrs Evelyn
Sure darling I can tell you that right away just sit down a for a sec.
Uri sat down and started looking around the office and saw a Rubik's Cube kept on the table near her, she picked it up and started solving it
Mrs Evelyn
Darling you will in my class that is 11-S4. So let's go.
Uri kept the Rubik's Cube that she had solved on the table and took her bag in her hand and followed the teacher.
The teacher reached the class and took Uri with her into the class looked at the students and everyone sat on their seats and looked at Uri
Mrs Evelyn
Good Morning everyone. We have a new student in our class she has just changed schools. Uri come and introduce yourself
This was something new to Uri she had changed school a few times before hands but was never told to introduce herself
She was an introvert, and this was putting her in the spotlight and she did not like it
She stood up from her and got to the front of the class
Uri
Hi everyone. My name is Uri Smith
Everyone looked at her, and she looked at everyone that's when she saw a boy sitting on the last seat with his head on the table who slightly lifted his head when he heard her speak and saw her
？？？
💭She looks uncomfortable
Uri
💭He definitely looking at me and judging me. He looks like he had a terrible breakup. What is this weird feeling when that I got when I saw him.
Mrs Evelyn
Uri you can go and sit next to Vance. Vance raise your hand and Nancy I want you to help Uri with all the work and help her with classes today.
The mystery boy turned out to be Vance and Uri went and sat next to him. Nancy sat in front of her.
Uri
💭Oh my god he is looking really cool up close Uri act cool first time sitting next to boy why did I have to be from an all-girls school
Uri
Hi sorry you are stuck with me, I could move in the next class u don't want me sitting here
Vance
Nah it's okay I don't mind sitting with you
The first class was self study, so Uri gathered all the courage in her and looked at Vance to talk, but before she could utter a word
Vance
What do you want to know?
Uri
I want to know the timetable?
Vance
The timetable is on the board right behind us and Nancy is the one sitting in front of you
Vance
I don't like people thanking me
Vance
Why are you saying sorry?
Uri tapped the girl in front of her
Uri
Hey Nancy can I please give the notes for a subject, so I can start working
Nancy
Hi Uri sure, but I am not the person to ask the notes I barely come to school it's better to take the notes from Vance. Hey Vance give her your notes mine are a little in complete
Nancy
I didn't do anything girl why are you thanking me
Vance
She has a thing for thank you and sorry
The three laughed at Vance's statement
Vance
So whIch subject would you like to do first and i can only help you with English, but I recommend not copying my writing skills work because it's all in red. I have very well maintained notes for Physics and Chemistry. For Mathematics, I will tell you the exercise you can do that and Physical Education I haven't made any notes.
Uri
Okay but what about the sixth subject Website building what do we study in that?
Vance
The sixth subject is different for everyone and I don't have that so when you go to the computer lab for your class ask someone there
Uri
Okay what is your Sixth subject?
Vance
Give me your number and I will whatsapp you the notes as we have exams in a week so you do what u can do at home and then I will give you my notes to work here
Vance took out the school dairy to note it
Uri
It's 123******* when you text me I'll save yours
The self study class got over and all the students got up the teacher left and everyone looked at Uri
Nancy
So tell me about you
Uri
When I did tell the whole class my name what else do you want to know
Nancy
Which school are you from? When is your birthday? What is your favorite subject? Why did u take this stream? What do you plan on becoming in future?
Uri
That's a lot of questions
Vance
Hey Nancy don't bother her
Nancy
I just wanna know her and she doesn't have a problem right Uri
Nancy
So answer my questions
Uri
Umm... I am from abc convent, I don't like telling my birthday, my favourite subject is biology, it's required for my dream job, don't feel like disclosing what I wanna become
Nancy
Oh my god guys we have a female Vance
Vance
Your answers are very similar to mine except Biology when your favorite is Biology why are you studying Mathematics
Uri
Like I said it's required for what I want to be
Nancy
OK let's all go to our respective classes
Uri
Where are you all going?
Nancy
For our sixth subject we have it in different places depending upon the subject. What do you have?
Uri
I have website building
Nancy
We have a subject like that did you know?
Uri
So I'm guessing you don't know where I have to go
Vance
Nancy I am going to my class otherwise I'll be late I suggest you also come fast
Nancy
You should come with me maybe my teacher knows where your class is
Uri
Okay let me take a few stationary with me
Uri
Okay I'll follow your lead
Uri followed Nancy to her computer lab and there Uri found out her class not going to take place there and Nancy's teacher had no idea where her class was
So Uri went to the staff room to ask her class teacher where she had to be for this class
Uri
💭Okay I just have to call for miss what was her surname
Uri
💭I don't know her surname how will I call her
Luck was on Uri's side her class teacher just walked out of the staff room as soon as she reached there
Uri
Miss I don't know where my class is and none of classmates have the same class as me, so I have idea where to go
Mrs Evelyn
Come dear I will look in the register and tell you who your teacher is and where you have to go
The teacher told her which class and where to go turns out her class was very far away from her classroom
The whole day Nancy stuck around with Uri. Nancy gave her a tour of the whole school during lunch break. Uri liked Nancy but she was very energetic as compared to her.
The day passed like that and the school got over and every started packing there things to leave
Nancy
Don't be absent tomorrow we will have alot of fun tomorrow we have chemistry lab
Uri
Oh I will come to school everyday
Nancy
Yup definitely female Vance
Author
Thanks for reading
Chapter 2
The next day was the students favourite day of the week as they games today
Uri entered the class and saw many new faces and many saw a new face
Violet
Who is she? (asked Nancy)
Nancy
She is the new admission started yesterday.
Violet
Yesterday you mean after 5 months have passed in the school year
Nancy
Uri she is from ABC convent school
Violet
So she is a Christian
Nancy
I don't know I didn't ask her
Violet
Uri come sit with me
Violet
Hi I am Violet, and we are going to be best buds not best friends because I already have one and if she heard I made a new best friend we both will be dead
Uri
💭She is very talkative. She is an extrovert wouldn't hurt to have an extrovert friend it might help
Uri sat next to her, and she wasn't just talkative she talked like it was breathing
The bell rang and Uri took out her books to thinking it was self study period, but everyone got up to leave
Uri
We don't have self study period today?
Violet
Today is Wednesday today self study and first period both are for games
The whole class reached the ground and the teacher asked everyone what sport they would be playing
Uri knew the school had a lot of sports, but she just found out they didn't just have a lot of sports they had all the sports
Everyone divided into groups to play sports while Uri stood next to Violet like she was lost
Her previous school had one sport Basketball that to for team members only. She was very excited to play sports but only the boys were plays.
Uri walked up to Vance and gathered a lot of courage to ask
Uri
Can I play with you guys?
Vance
Sure we were one player short
Vance
Guys this is Uri from my class she is a new admission, and she is also playing any problem
？？？
Yes I ain't taking a girl on my team
Vance
I never said she was on your team she is on my team. Uri you are defense and since you asked to play I am going to assume you know how to play
Uri
Yes I do. I mean not as a pro, but I know how to play
Vance
Works we aren't playing FIFA anyway
Since Uri was a girl the guys weren't ready to tackle her, and this gave the team an unfair advantage and they won the match
Vance
See the girl helped me win the match. Good job Uri (said lifting his hand for a fist bump)
The two did a fist bump and their was the weird feeling that Uri was questioning
The next few periods went by quick but a hell for Uri she didn't know the previous chapters, and it made it difficult for her to understand a few things all because her father kept her home for few months because of some problem at work
The whole week went by quick and Uri grew close to Violet and Nancy and since Vance was a friend with the two she spent time with the three
It was a Saturday morning and Uri was, someone who used to go to school everyday so she did the same today as well
She got on bus, but today but something was off there weren't any students on the bus and all the teachers looked at her like she was an alien
Uri
💭Why are the teachers looking at me like that
Uri
💭I feel like I have committed a crime
Uri sat on her seat and took out her novel to read
She soon reached school and went to her class the whole class was empty
Not just that the whole floor was empty
Uri
💭Is the school closed today, or what did I make a mistake coming to school today
That's when her eyes fell on figure coming to the second floor where she stood
Uri
💭Vance is here, so the schools not closed
Vance
💭I'll sit alone in class and study no one will disturb me
That's when his eyes fell on the figure standing in front of her
Vance
💭What's she doIng here? I mean i know it's her school as well, but I'm always alone on Saturdays
The two stood in front of the class door looking at each other
Uri
I'm the kind of person who wants to come to school on Sunday also
The two sat down on their seats that one someone else entered the class
Austin
I'm Austin I study in this class sat in the row next to you for the last two days
Uri
Oh hi Austin sorry I have been very busy completing my work I didn't notice
Vance
💭What's up with him, he doesn't come to school on weekdays, and he's here on Saturday
The three students sat down when the teacher entered
Mrs Evelyn
Oh, so Vance isn't alone today
Mrs Evelyn
Good morning. All three of you get up and move to the class next door the classes are combined
Uri took her bag and went with the teacher
Austin and Vance also took their bags and left the class and almost went inside the class next door
Mrs Evelyn
Not that class the class opposite us
Austin held his bag and ran to the class
When Vance walked in Austin was sitting in the seat next to Uri
Uri and Vance looked at each other. Uri planned on sitting with Vance as he was helping her with her work and Violet hadn't been coming to school
Vance
💭So he ran to sit next to her yeah something is really fishy
It was lunchtime now and Uri sat on her seat doing her work when a girl entered the class
？？？
Vance let's go to the cafeteria today
Uri turned to look at the owner of the voice
Autumn
Vance it's my treat let's go
Vance
Uri you want to come with us
Uri
Nah I'll stay here doing my work I want to complete it before you guys begin the exams
Vance
Autumn let's stay here and chat that way we company Uri while she does her work
Austin
It's no problem I'll company her here
Vance
No problem I'm staying either way
Autumn did not like this her best friend preferred staying in to company the new girl rather than going to the cafeteria with her
Autumn and Vance were talking while Autumn was eating, Uri did her work quietly sitting in the corner
Vance
Aren't you going to eat something (said to Uri)
Uri
Nah, I haven't brought anything as I planned on working during lunch break
Uri
You aren't in this class what are your subjects (asked Autumn)
Autumn
I'm a biology student I plan to be a doctor.
Uri
Oh good for you hope you succeed in your plan
Autumn
I will, I know that
The bell rang and Autumn got up and left
Very soon the mathematics teacher came in and asked everyone to take out their books
Uri
💭Shit man I forgot to bring the book again I need to get used to bringing math book
Uri
Austin do you have the math book
Austin
Nah I forgot the book
Uri tapped Vance's chair with her feet Vance slightly looked back
Vance
I do come sit next to me (said looking at Austin to check his suspicions)
And he got his answer Austin was pissed at this
The whole day went by and Uri reached home
Uri
Mum I am to take a shower while I do that could you please heat the food
Uri came out and sat on her bed eating her lunch while she watched a movie
Mrs. Smith
How are your days going
Uri
They are going pretty well
Mrs. Smith
So do you have any friends, yet
Uri
I don't plan on making any
Uri
I do take all the notes for class from a guy named Vance
Mrs. Smith
No friends, yet it was your third day today
Uri
I already have a friend, and she is in XYZ public school her name is Sage remember
Uri
By the way the school is beginning half-yearly exams from Monday, so I will be sitting in the library while my classmate stake the exams and after they are done I will do back to the class and continue the classes
Mrs. Smith
Oh that sounds hectic the library must be in the different building you would have to walk back and forth from the buildings
Mrs. Smith
After you are done eating go back to studying you need to cover up your syllabus fast
Uri
💭Yeah thanks to you and dad who kept me home for 5 months because there was some "work problem"
The whole day Uri kept studying and was almost up all night studying and went to bed at 5 am
She knew her mother was gonna come in 4 hrs and scold her for sleeping in knowing she was up all night studying
Chapter 3
Monday morning Uri was sitting in the library
Mrs Evelyn
I still don't understand why did you join school after 5 months
Uri
There was some problem with my dad's work so I stayed home for 5 months when the problem was solved he sent me back to school
Mrs Evelyn
Didn't he think how much loss you would face while you stayed home for 5 months
Uri
No he thought about the embarrassment the schools cause the students when parents are running late on the fees
This was a dark reality that everybody tries to ignore
Before the half yearly exams ended Uri had completed her work all the work of 5 months she missed and 3 weeks she attended to school
The last day of half yearly exams was the day the teachers had told they would assess her work
The last exam was now over and the group sat down together
Middle row last seats
Nancy ??
Violet Uri
Vance Dylan
Dylan
So Uri is your work complete ma'am will be coming in any moment to take your registers, and we have all the periods, so we might hear remarks about your work
Uri
My work is completed till date, and I am okay with the teacher giving my work a remark in front of the whole class
Mrs Evelyn
Good Morning everyone. Uri give me your notebooks since it's my period first I'll take all the notebooks, and give it to the respective teacher and they will check and remark it and give it back in their period so u can work ahead
Uri got up took out 5 registers from her bag and gave them to her class teacher
Mrs Evelyn took the register and went to her seat and started checking
Mrs Evelyn
I must say I am very proud of the way you have done your work. All the class notes are complete and along with that you have solved all the assignment sheets as well
Mrs Evelyn
Learn a little something people
The whole group looked at Uri and gave her a thumbs up
Uri
We aren't eliminating anyone
Violet
You see the whole group had a bet how many teachers will praise you today
Uri
So how many did all of you bet for
Uri
And what's the winner getting I also want it
Violet
I said 2 Mrs. Evelyn and Mrs. Carlee i.e. English and Chemistry
Nancy
I said 3 Mrs. Evelyn, Mrs. Carlee and Mrs. Eilene
Dylan
I said I don't know since I don't know you so well
Violet
Yeah Vance is sure all the teachers are going to praise you let's see who wins
Vance
I will win I know that you know why because I come to school daily I see how Uri behaves with the teachers and how they treat her
The period went by next class was for Chemistry the whole group was waiting for the teacher and how she reacts to Uri's notes
Uri
💭To them these praises are just a bet for fun to me they are a guarantee I won't have to repeat the year as i am being assessed on this for the half yearly
Mrs. Carlee
Good morning stand up lazy ass people
She went to her seat and sat down
Mrs. Carlee
Uri darling I got your register right now, and I must say I have never seen work like this and let me show you people why
Mrs. Carlee
One of you who thinks their notes are very good give it to me
Mrs. Carlee opened a page where the periodic table was drawn
Mrs. Carlee
Look at this Periodic Table very nicely drawn with a scale and everything
Uri
💭What did I do wrong in making the periodic table
Femke very proud of herself stands up looking down on everyone
Mrs. Carlee
Femke sit down no need to behave like that
Then she opened the Periodic Table drawn by Uri and showed the whole class
Mrs. Carlee
The Periodic Table is drawn with a scale, and I am specifically saying that because some of you forget to use a scale right Patrick
Mrs. Carlee
Then she has color coded the whole Table, and she has written every single detail that is present on the periodic table. Well done I am very impressed
Uri
(bowed to the teacher) Thank you ma'am
Mrs. Carlee
And femke this is how you behave when a teacher praises you not start looking down on everyone else
Uri
💭Ma'am is always so savage
Mrs. Carlee
And this is only on thing same way she has done exceptional work
Violet
Why did you put in so much work into your notes
Uri
They are going to be counted as my half-yearly marks
Vance
After giving back Uri's register the teacher started teaching
She took a piece of chalk went to the board and started writing the topic heading and without looking back
Mrs. Carlee
Boy stop staring at Uri and focus on the class
Dylan
*Whisper to Vance* It must have been Austin considering what you told me about him
Vance
Yeah yeah it must have been him
The whole period Violet couldn't focus anymore all she wanted to know was who was the teacher talking about
Uri
Violet stop looking around and focus
Violet
How are you so cool I want to know who was staring
Uri
Don't you think they won't be staring any more as ma'am caught them in 4k
They had two long periods of chemistry, and after that they had mathematics the bell rang and it was time for torture
Why torture you ask? Because no one understood a single word of what the teacher taught and everyone was stood scared to complain
Not scared of the teacher but scared of what the teacher might do if no action is taken against her
Mrs. Eilene
Uri good work. I specifically liked how you took the time to cut out graph paper for very graph question and stuck it next to the question unlike the people who hand drawn graph without a scale right Patrick
Uri
*whispered to Violet* What's up with Patrick why is everyone after him
Violet
*Whispered back* He rarely comes to school saying he is doing coaching has one notebook for all the subjects and doesn't score good
Mrs. Eilene
No more whispering from you two (pointing at Uri and Violet)
During this period the time has slowed down to the speed of a sloth
And what felt like an eternity the bell rang
Uri
Finally it's lunch break
Violet
Why are you getting happy? What did you bring?
Uri took out a lunch box and every one took half a sandwich and the box was empty
Before they could all see is Uri had taken anything they had taken a bit of the sandwich
Uri
Seriously nothing for me
Dylan
Did you give her a half-eaten sandwich
Vance
Not everyone is mannerless like you idiot
Vance
It's you lunch and stop thanking
Vance
People here are going to use her for their benefits so much
Nancy
Guys I am a part of the annual function, so I am coming what about all of you
Vance
I am an event head so yeah I am going to be there
Everyone was now looking at Uri for a reply
Uri
These two will be busy with their work,, and you aren't coming I don't want to be alone
Austin
I could accompany you
Vance
Where the fuck did you come from
Austin
If you do come Uri I will accompany you
Uri
I don't know maybe I will maybe I won't
Violet
So I am the only one who thought this is weird 🤔
Uri
I don't know he seems to be always there when it comes to accompanying me
Vance
I doubt it for the past few weeks
Nancy
That Austin likes you genius
Uri
He is just sweet and nice pretty sure you guys are taking it in the wrong way
Vance
Remember the day it was only Austin, you and me in the class that day Austin ran to sit next to you and when you came in front to sit next to me, he glared at me
Violet
Question why did she move to sit with you? 😏
Uri
Because I didn't bring my math book neither did Austin, so I shifted next to him to share the book
Uri
You guys here have too much time at hand to gossip
The day went like that and everyone took their bags and on the way started talking
Nancy
You had an unfair advantage
Vance
You guys don't come to school isn't an unfair advantage
Dylan
Are you guys coming to school tomorrow?
Vance
Don't tell me you plan on taking a leave again
Vance
Why do I feel that tomorrow is something important
Dylan
That trick won't work anymore
Vance
I'm serious something that was told long back
Nancy
I don't remember anything
Dylan
I don't know anything
Violet and Uri went towards the bus stop and Nancy, Dylan and Vance went to towadr the private vehicle line
