Chapter 22: Closeness
During second year, she had shoulder length hair and became more... Alluring..? He started having weird feelings around her at that time.
There was their mathematics teacher in second year who hated them both and he’d never let them sleep in classes. A terrible man!
Even he was scared of that teacher but she’d just sleep as usual.
One day that teacher got mad and wrote a problem on the board and asked her to solve it. She who was sleeping deeply was awakened by a chalk thrown at her.
That terrible teacher... He wanted to kill that guy for hitting a girl! But he was destroyed soon! She gave the first blow and Cyrus made sure he couldn’t stand up again.
She stood up rubbing her head and after the teacher repeated what he said, she walked up to the board and started solving the problem with ease. Jordan McAllister was the topper in their class and even he couldn’t understand what she is doing and he asked the teacher. Only then the teacher realised that he had written his son’s University project problem mistakenly. Apparently his son couldn’t solve it and asked his father for help and that teacher who tried to solve it, accidentally wrote it on the board. But he was surprised she had solved it, so easily. That teacher then shamelessly clarified his doubts with her while the whole class laughed at the teacher and she threw the chalk in her hand right at his bald head and walked back to her seat giving Arthur a high-five and slept again.
She’s amazing!
Later when that teacher was reprimanded for being careless in his job, she just stood there and watched him getting transfered without blinking an eye. She knew it was her grandfather’s doing but she never tried to help that teacher even when he knelt in front of her and begged.
She who cried for the death of a bug when little, seemed entirely opposite and looked cold and ruthless.
Something inside her had changed in the past eight years of her life and he wanted to know what it was but she rarely talked about her past.
She was that way with everyone else after her identity was revealed as Talia Brunton in their second year. She was the proud peacock who cared for nothing and no one.
