CHAPTER 2: An enemy

After the teacher called us, I was pretty nervous.

Is it because I didn't submit my notes yet? But I haven't even completed it yet!

Wait! Nah, if it was that then she would have humiliated me in front of the class, unless she became kind. Nope, that can never happen, she can never become kind, unless she got possessed. Wait is she possessed? Lol, what are you even thinking about Clara Wilson! Now just focus.

I couldn't focus on anything. I overthought throughout the entire class, and now it is time to reveal why I'm going in the dungeon of death.

I brought up my courage and went to the staff room, with my head held high, Ashton and a few others were already there in the staff room.

As soon as Ashton turned to me, I looked at him and turned away angrily.

That moron, is my greatest enemy! He was, and is the most popular boy in school. He is so popular because of his so-called male lead looked and his sexy ass voice, he doesn't seem interested in any girls, and to add on he hates me for some damned reason I myself don't know about!

Whenever I mind my business he always needs to find fault in me then does his annoying scoff.

Like damn! I didn't even do anything to you, but you still hate me! And too top it all, I'm far smarter than him. He always gets lower marks than me.

The teacher looked at both of us and asked, "Are you from class 11-B?"

"Yes ma'am!" we replied in a flash.

Right then she took a bundle of papers and picked up two sets.

"These are your test papers, look at them and tell me how you did," said the teacher.

Shoot! So it wasn't about my homework, well that's a relief.

Ashton and I sighed at the same time. We looked at each other annoyed.

"Why are you both sighing? Can't you see, both of you failed! Clara, you are right on the pass mark, you just got half mark more."

Hearing that for some reason was kinda nice, cus everyone in this room completely failed. He-he I now have a sense of superiority.

Right then the teacher let out the big sigh.

Okay, she is hella disappointed in all of us.

"Haiz! Since it is the start of the term, we decided to put after schools for whomever failed-"

"But I didn't fail Ma-"

"But you are in that category Clara, so you must also attend! Okay from tomorrow onwards stay back you got me, and don't try missing it. Dismissed."

I went in the room head held high, but now my head is only facing the ground.

Whoever came out of the staff room came out like zombies, except Ashton. He didn't seem fazed by it at all.

"Yo! Why did you sigh, when we were in the staff room?" I asked.

Ashton looked around and pointed at himself.

"You know I got a name right? But since you are so eager to know why I sighed let me tell you. Well, I got all the easy, common sense questions right, and you got zero for that, and I saw you rolling your pencil to find the answer, like what luck do you even have to get zero? I was truly disappointed Clara Wilson," he said.

I was boiling in anger and embarrassment. He actually caught me till my pencil to check the answer, please give me a coffin to burry myself in.

"Not zero but one, first learn to read!" I shouted

"right sorry you got zero plus one, but I just round it off, that's all!" he said and shrugged his shoulder.

Ugh! I seriously hate this guy! I wish I could hit him in his--. No, no Clara, not having wild thoughts, he is still young, he doesn't know what he is speaking.

I hit his back and ran off. Now, I'm stuck with this loser! GREAT! What have I done to get this? My life can't get any luckier, huh?!!

Well guess I need to should just accept this and do well next time.

I ran back to class and fell on Zara and Caroline.

"Guys, I have to stay back for after schools, starting from tomorrow! I can't go out and eat or play with you after school!!!" I whined.

"If you just put in a bit of effort you could have passed. Look, Caroline could pass even though she always used to fail. Good job Carol!" said Zara.

"I don't know if that is a compliment or an insult, but thanks anyway Z," said Caroline, giving Zara the side eye.

Well guess she was right, I need to put in more effort form now on, so that I can keep my dreams up.

"Alright guys! I Clara Wilson, will try my very best to get good marks in the midterm!"

"That's the spirit!"

"You go, Clara! Carol and I will always help you!"

"Thanks guys!"

Now, I have got my spirit back, and I'm ready for action. Clara Wilson is back on business and ready for the top!!!
