Whatever confidence or anger I felt when I dumped the food on her, quickly evaporated, leaving me with the consequence.

I succeeded in getting out of the cafeteria almost celebrating, until I heard a very loud shriek.

"Oh boy, if I survive this, I will never waste food again in my life", I thought.

Then I heard loud footsteps coming out of the hall, but, I was already taking a turn. I raced as fast as my legs could go, not even feeling the pain on my leg anymore. Remembering the slap I received from her made me shudder. That got me running harder and quicker." If Mr. Fransacain saw me right now, he would definitely be proud.

Dashing into another hallway, I ran up some stairs, not worrying where I was going, I just had to hide somewhere she won't find.

I continued running till I came to a dead end. There were four doors, two on each side of the wall.

I turned around ready to head to a different direction, but heard footsteps coming my way.

But then. One of the doors opened, revealing black hair that belonged to a boy.

Not waiting any longer, I dashed towards him, pushing him back, while closing the door with my leg and also closing the boy's mouth with my hand.

I listened attentively as the footsteps outside got closer and came to a halt in front of the door. "No, no no no please pass this door, I prayed".

I was practically hanging from the boy's neck. My right hand was positioned over his neck while the other covered his mouth. I could feel his mouth moving under my hand as if he desired to verbalize.

"Shhhhhhh," I whispered, looking at him.

"Oh my God! ," I screamed, jumping away from him. It was that annoying psycho jerk.

He looked at me with furrowed brows and a scowl plastered on his face, his nostrils were twitching and his arms were crossed.

"Oh God, why was heaven just against me today."

Then a knock came from the door. I looked from the door to him, calculating who was better, among the two.

I decided to just deal with the boy first. I looked at him, begging with my eyes, not to open it. But he just smirked at me and pulled it open.

Standing at the other side of the doorway was Blue. To say I felt relieved was an understatement. I looked behind her to check if Blondie was with her, but she was unaccompanied, thank God.

"If only you ran this fast during our clash class, you wouldn't have been a laughing stock", she said looking at me with brows raised.

"Hello to you to Blue", I responded. She was about to respond when she glanced behind me and made the loudest screech I ever heard.

" Prince Ranalda! , I apologize for my unacceptable behavior, I am sincerely sorry". Blue said, bowing low to him.

What! , back up. What is going on here, and why had she just acted like she saw royalty? . And why the hell did she drag me down with her?.

After all the drama Blue displayed. The psycho jerk prince, didn't even so much as throw her a glance. Instead, he was fully concentrated on trying to burn my face with his laser eyes.

"Now, do tell me, what you are doing here?", he demanded, walking slowly to me, while I took careful steps backwards.

His blue green eyes held fire that I didn't want to fiddle with. I gulp looking at Blue for assistance. But she even looked more scared than I at the moment.

"This should be the last time, I set my eyes on you. When and wherever you see me, you better head for the hills, because the next time I see you, you won't have the legs to run again".

Stating that, he turned around, and went back into the room banging the door shut.

"Woah! , that was close", I said, looking at Blue.

" You really have a gift for getting into trouble, don't you?"

"Oh I try," I replied, bowing slightly.
"Were you the person chasing after me?"

"Nope, that was Monty, but I lead her in the wrong direction, and came after you myself".

" The Blondie? ".

"If it's the girl that slapped you you mean, then yes".

" Wow, you are really a savior, Blue. " I said with a long sigh.

"Why are you calling me that. That is not my name."

"You didn't tell me your name, what am I to call you? ,"

She didn't reply me. Instead she turned around, leading me back."

"But how did you know where I was?". I questioned

" It was quite simple. Seeing that the only other way, was a secret passage which I did not show you on our tour, I knew you wouldn't even notice it."

"Oh, not that I am not grateful or anything, but why did you help me, I know you all hate me for some reason, but I didn't expect it".

" Truth is, I sort of felt grateful to you, and the fact that you did that to Monty. Which was amazing by the way, was just an added factor. But I will advise you not to anger her or any other person again.

And also, I advise you, just as the prince said, you high tail it when you see him."

"Understood." I saluted

Just then my stomach released a very loud rumble, making us laugh. Gosh, I was hungry.

"I told you not to skip breakfast. Alright, follow me, let's get you something to eat."

We went all the way back to the females sleeping wing as she called it. Her room wasn't too different from mine, it was obviously neater and more organized, but it was still same small room.

" You know, now that we are kind of friends, can I at least, know your name? ." I asked her.

After staring at me for some time, she spoke.
"Sigil"

"Huh?"

"My name, it's Sigil"

"Am still going to call you Blue though. It kind of fit's you.

She only gave me a duh look and shook her head.

She gave me a loaf of bread and a bottle of water, which I rushed into my mouth as fast as I could,
and it was gone faster than I knew it.

" Okay, it's time to head back, I believe you have something to do? .

Coughing and spilling out the water I was drinking, I turned to her, eyes wide. Oh no, I knew I forgot something. No, no no. I forgot about headmaster's training.

After telling her about it, we rushed off to the garden, while she saluted me bye and left.

Pushing the door open. I came face to face with headmaster standing with hands crossed.

"You are late".

" No shit, Sherlock, I didn't notice." I replied, rolling my eyes.

His reply was a clenched jaw, "oh shit, I shouldn't have said that".

"Follow me", he growled.

We passed the beautiful garden and stopped at the open space in front of the bush, and I could swear that it looked bigger than the first time I saw it.
He walked to his seat and picked up what looked like a machete and a rake, only that it was bigger than a normal machete. Dropping it in front of me, he turned back and sat on his seat.

" Huh! , what the hell am I suppose to do with this ", I thought

" What are you waiting for, go clear that bush now".

"What!, why?, what does clearing a bush has to do with fighting, your not trying to use me to do your chores right?.

He stood up and came to stand in front of me, placing both hands on my shoulder, he began shaking me.

"What the hell!, I felt dizzy.

" What was that for!, I screamed, glaring at him.

"That was to remove the stupidity from you. Do you want to die?.

" No, but I don't see how this will help me", I cried out.

"Then, get your lazy butt, to the bush and start working", he said ignoring my complain.

Picking up the cutlass and rake with anger, I went to the bush. I didn't even know how I was to do it.

I struggled for almost five minutes deliberating on how to hold the machete. I think he got tired of watching me, because he just scoffed, closed his eyes, and feigned sleep.

Holding it with both hands, I raised it up and started hacking through the grass. it wasn't working. I tried digging it out of the floor, but it wasn't working also.

Sweat dripped down my tracksuit, I used my hand to clean the sweat on my forehead. Dumping the machete on the floor, I tried pulling the stubborn weed out, with my hands.

" Ouch!, I cried out, looking at the little cut on my finger, from a thorn. "This is so annoying," I announced.

But looking at Headmaster, he was fast asleep, I contemplated dumping this work and running back, but before I could do so, he spoke.

"Don't even think about it"

" But its so hard, why don't you just get a mower and clear this up?".

He didn't even spare me a glance or answer me for that matter.

" He said I should work, but he is just there sleeping, and he called me lazy. Such a lazy man, he can't even clear his own garden".

Glaring at the cut on my finger. Wait!, what!. Where was the cut on my finger?, checking the other hand, I was more confused. I was sure I had a cut on my finger.

"Will you stop admiring your hand and go back to work?. Mr Spock growled out.

Glancing at my hand one more time.

"Maybe the cut wasn't as bad as I saw it, and it healed fast, like super fast." I picked up the machete and went back to my battle.

It felt like hours passed, and I hadn't made any progress yet, I was tired and exhausted. The hot weather made me listless and lethargic. I tried thinking of ways to cut down the grass, but it wasn't easy at all.

With annoyance, I held the long grass with my left hand and used my right hand holding the machete to give a powerful blow to the weed, it did not go too deep to dig the soil, neither did it go to high, to cut only the top of the plant, it cut right.

" woooo-hooo" I shouted, jumping up and down excitedly, "I am a total genius."

Trying it again, it worked. Wow, I was so glad, at least I could finally cut the grass and rest.

Just then, Mr sleepy head finally woke up .
" That is the end of today's training. You can head back, see you tomorrow, same time, same location ".

" Oh," I was glad anyway.

Finally, I could breath, this was damn hard. And I hadn't even started yet. "Oh boy!, tomorrow's going to be a hell lot of a day".

On coming out of the garden, I was met with the psycho girls, I can't believe I actually missed them, Wulf most especially.

" To what, do I owe this visit?", I said smiling at them.

" I missed you!", Jody squealed jumping excitedly, while hugging me. And Wulf scoffed, looking at us.

" You are going to be living with us," Jody announced.

"Huh?"

"We got permission from the Elders, to let you are stay in the captains wing for the duration of your training.

Your things are already packed to our wing, that is where we will be taking you. All the captains live there".

As she spoke, all I kept thinking and praying, was that, Blondie and the psycho jerk, weren't captains.
