TROUBLE AT SCHOOL (2)
I was about to open the door when I turned to look at Jack and asked him where Clara went to. Jack told me he had no idea about where Clara was, but I could tell he was lying. We have been friends for like forever, I know when Jack is lying. "Save yourself the trouble and tell me the truth now before" Jack didn't allow me to finish talking before he interrupted me, telling me immediately about Clara's whereabout. I rushed straight to the female toilet , just to very sure that she was safe and wasn't being bullied by anyone. As I got closer to the toilet, I heard noises coming from the toilet, they were all laughing profusely like they were watching a comedy show. Then I heard Clara's faint voice pleading for them to stop, but instead the laugh got louder and they were smashing something on her. I didn't even know when I began to run. On getting there my whole body was shattered at what I saw. They were smashing eggs on Clara, some were pouring dirty water on her, some were calling her a slut and all sort of hurtful words, while the others laughed and cheered them up. I almost ran mad when I saw a guy slap Clara on her cheek and she cried out in pain.
"All of you on your kneels" I shouted loudly with my eyebrows arched and my face narrowed. They were all reluctant to do I commanded thinking it was a teacher, not until they turned to shout at the teacher and saw that I was the one. They all knelt down hurriedly, no one dared to escape. I went over to the guy that slapped Clara and gave him a hard blow on his face constantly until his mouth began to bleed and bruises all over his face. Everyone was frightened by my actions and some were beginning to cry thinking I would do the same to them. Some teachers stood behind watching, but they were wise not to intervene. I went ahead to pick up the remaining eggs, smashing it on their head one after the other. The eggs weren't enough and I order one of the female teacher who was watching to get more eggs immediately. She ran hurriedly to get it, nearly falling on the floor due to the heels she was putting on. While waiting for the eggs, I carried the bucket of water and instructed them to open their mouth which they did with reluctance. I began to pour the water on their faces, making sure it entered their mouth and they squeezed their faces in disgust. " If you dare spit out that water, consider yourself a dead meat" I said pointing my index finger at a red haired girl who was about to spit it out the water. Another girl shouted she was allergic to dirty water, but I didn't care and poured the water in her mouth. She could die for all I care. When I was done pouring the dirty water, the egg arrived and I continued from where I stopped.
Clara was pleading for me to stop but I was adamant to her plead. For now I was deaf to anything she had to say. After I was satisfied with what I did, I warned everyone intensively never to bother Clara again in anyway. They were also to remain on their kneel till school dismissal. Clara was sitting on the floor crying profusely, I picked her up and carried her to my car, placing her gently on the back sit. She refused to talk to me and I didn't bother her. I dialled Jack's number and instructed him to bring I and Clara's bag which he did within a few seconds after ending the call with him. After collecting the bags from him, I drove off.
I carried Clara like an egg while walking to my room. Although she wasn't comfortable and tried countless times to free herself my hand wrapped around her tightly, but all her efforts were in vain and she stopped. Clara kept on insisting on going to her room but I refused and she gave up when she saw there was no other option. We got to my room and Clara stood by the door, with eyes roaming around every corner of the room like it was her first time of coming into my room. "Aren't you going to have a hard scrub at least?" Clara really looked dirty and needed an urgent intensive bath. I still couldn't believe how I was able to carry her upon seeing her condition and how dirty she was. " Do you want me to also bath you? " I teased Clara when I saw that she wasn't even listening to me, rather she was lost in her thought and her little world. She must probably detest me, all these happened because of me after all. " How would I make it up to her? I am really bad at pleasing girls or making them happy" I talked to myself biting my pacing around the room, rubbing my palm together constantly. It was starting to get frustrating when I couldn't think of anything to appease Clara for the inconveniences I caused her. "Ah Leo you need help" After lot of thinking, I decided to call Jack for help as there was obviously no other person to call other than Jack.
Jack and I had a very short conversation and he gave me lot of suggestions, it was so easy for him to come up with lot of ideas where areas I couldn't think of any. Of all the suggestions Jack made, I decided to pick the one that seemed quite easy for me but a bit complicated. Which was taking Clara on a date to the beach, amusement park, museum or a restaurant. It was the only one which was convenient for me but some aspect were quite disturbing. Firstly taking Clara on a date means that we would be going outside and people will definitely recognize me when they see me, thereby directing everyone's attention to me and Clara. Secondly I feared that they would make Clara know I was a Mafia leader and she would leave me and probably resign. I dialled Jack's number again and called him to tell him the challenges with taking Clara on a date, but he laughed over it.
" Are you mocking me? Just forget it" I shouted at him and was about to end the call when he apologized and told me to wait.
"Wait, you mean Clara doesn't know you are a Mafia leader?" Jack asked me still trying had not to laugh. I was curious to know what why it sounded funny to Jack so I decided asked but he diverted and gave me the solution to my problem. Jack told me to wear a face mask in order to keep my identity secret. " What if Clara demand to know why am putting on a face mask?" I asked him and turned to look at the bathroom door as I heard the noises coming from that direction, it seemed to me like Clara was done bathing. On hearing Jack's answer, I ended the call without telling him a thank you as usual, I wasn't used to appreciating people. Clara came out of the bathroom, clad in a white towel which I gave to her the last time she was in my room. " Am I seeing properly? " The days Clara stayed in my room, never did she come out with a towel. She would always dress up in the bathroom before coming out. It was my first time seeing Clara in a towel. Her skin was light and smooth, for reasons unknown to me, I couldn't take my eyes off her alluring neck bones down to her laps. Her beauty was one in a million.
" Hey! What are you staring at?" Clara asked, hitting me on my shoulder. I dazed out my thoughts and imagination immediately and gave her a fake smile. " I need my clothes from my room, do you mind helping me to get it? Since you who insisted that I stay her ugh" Clara said like she was angry with me, her voice was hoarse and not the regular calm, quite voice. My eyes were fixed on her body, I just nodded to her request, swallowing my saliva countless times while I imagined of how it feels kiss her at the moment. " Things might go farther than kissing Leo, come of it" I laughed at my silly thought, completely forgetting that Clara was still looking at me
" Leo! " Clara shouted loudly this time, I could feel the rage in her tiny feminine voice. I apologized immediately and began walking to the door, though I wasn't even aware of where I was headed. " Where am I going to?" I asked Clara, stamping my feet on the ground and also avoiding to look in her eyes. I looked like a completely lost soul without direction. " What is wrong with you Leo?" I asked myself, annoyed with the way I was behaving towards Clara. It is something that has always bugged me whenever I remember but I couldn't stop neither could I control myself. "Oh, clothes, like your cloth" Clara was pointing at my wardrobe, she looked so dumb while doing that. In as much as I was threatened to laugh I didn't dare as it might just upset her again. I went over to my wardrobe and took out a black sweatshirt and one of my short and threw it on Clara. Surprisingly Clara didn't complain instead she went back to the bathroom and after a few minutes she came out putting on the cloth.
By now I couldn't contain the laughter I had been holding, I began to laugh out my balls. Clara was looking so hilarious on the shorts, maybe I should have just gone to her room to get her something feminine. I was still laughing when she ran towards the bed and picked up a pillow, before I could say a word she began to hit me playfully with the pillow. At least I was relieved that she was okay now. " I will take you out on a date this weekend, if that's cool with you" I saw the end of her lips curled into a smile while she hit me with the pillow the last time and went over to the bed. " Wow! Never knew it was going to be this easy" I thought, heading towards the bathroom to have my bath. When I came out of the bathroom, Clara was so engrossed in a book she was reading on my desk. "Oh shit! My diary, she must have definitely found it" I whispered, biting my lips while I walked over to where she sat with her legs crossed.
