What is this? Normally at school, especially sports club or sports school the boys would've mocked me or teased me. And that was one month ago.
In the first week of school everybody would come and ask questions about me.
“What school are you from?”
“What sports do you like?”
“You have such long hair!”
“Wanna hang out?”
It was so overwhelming that many guys were asking me questions.
Finally I blew my top.
“Why are you not ignoring me or something?” I asked. I was more comfortable in a way if they didn’t really talk to me.
The boys looked at eachother and giggled.
“We were just interested in you! Nothing else.” one had said.
“Plus the rules say that we must treat all genders equally.” one had quickly added.
“What rules?” I tried my best not to sound threatening.
“Uh….. someone got a pamphlet?”
The boys searched their pockets until one of the boys named Joe handed me the pamphlet.
Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.
“What about this?” I asked as I went through the rules of the school. I scanned through them. My eyes caught a sentence.
“Treat every gender equal. No exceptions.”
-Rela-
I nearly dropped the pamphlet to the table. This quote was on most every ground rule book but not everybody kept their words. And Rela? So she was the author of this rule. That was interesting. And it was also unexpected that those…. Gentlemen followed the rules.
“Wow.” i said
“Anyways we kept our words because…. Well, nobody is sure when Rela would come and haunt us.”
“As if!” his friends joked nervously.
Wait did he just say come back? To this academy?
Hold up, was Rela the one who came to this academy? Seriously? That made me want to squeal. I managed to compose myself. I wanted to ask more questions about her but the bell rang and our next lesson was about to start.
Just like Callista said, we also did learn some history about Rela. Since i knew most of them because Callista told me about it , i was just looking at the pictures from the textbooks.
“Then for the next team, we will have Reyna, Joa, Charles and Andreas.”
I looked up. What team?
“You will do a project about the most famous paintings,” the teacher explained. “You can choose about any painting really. Just don't make it extremely complicated ok?”
We got into our groups and at first it was awkward because it was the first time being all together. I just didn't really want to talk. I just wanted to finish the work quickly.
“So what kind of paintings do you guys have in mind?” Andreas asked. Andreas was one of the top students of this grade.
“I don't know,” I answered.
“There are way too many good ones...” Charles muttered.
“I have like five good paintings in mind.” Joa said.
“Ha, we can't really summarize one right now can we? How about we just search about some paintings and come to get one painting we choose to present. Good?'' Andreas said.
“Yeah that's a good idea.” Joa agreed.
