BXBX NOVEL Chapter 15 - You Are In The Way
Gabriel is also taking this class. When he entered classroom, he approached Sarah, greeted her, and then went to sit in the back.
Sarah was busy with her doodling when two figures stood in front of her desk. Sarah looked up, and her eyes landed on Mimi and Megan. They were looking at Sarah with sour faces. Sarah raised her eyebrows wondering what are these two up to now.
Mimi leaned towards Sarah, and said in a quiet voice, "We told you to stay away. Don\'t you understand English?"
Sarah didn\'t respond. She quickly analyzed the situation and concluded that there is nothing she can say to pacify these two. Just by looking at their expressions and postures, Sarah can tell that these two came to cause trouble. \'Do they really think they are intimidating?\' Sarah sneered internally. She knows that words won\'t work on these two, but if she does anything physically, everyone involved will be punished.
The only thing Sarah can do is to stay calm and hope that professor comes soon.
From the back, Gabriel was observing what is going on. Well, most of the class noticed Mimi and Megan approaching Sarah and acting like they own the place.
"He is way out of your league. You should stay with your own kind", Mimi continued.
"What kind is that?", Sarah could not stop herself from smiling.
Mimi\'s face contorted from anger. She saw Sarah\'s smile as a provocation. "Don\'t push your luck. Listen when we say and stay away."
"Did you really come here in attempt to threaten me because of Aiden?", Sarah was getting irritated with Mimi\'s behavior.
"You are such a bit*h", Mimi said through her teeth. "Yeah", Megan chimed in.
Sarah reminded herself to stay calm. \'These are just some pathetic provocations.\' Not many people know, but Sarah is very good in martial arts. Provoking her recklessly is not a good idea.
Sarah continued smiling, and looking indifferently at Mimi, "You two are acting like kindergarteners." Mimi\'s face became ugly. She was thinking what to say next, she wanted to jump on Sarah and put few scratches on her face, but she knows that she can\'t start a fight. Sarah continued in indifferent tone, "If you use your brains, you will see that this has nothing to do with me. And if you think that you have the capability to be with Aiden, go after him and leave me alone."
It seems that Sarah hit some nerve, as Mimi started talking loudly, "Who do you think you are? He will never..." she was interrupted by Gabriel who took a seat next to Sarah. He looked at Mimi and Megan and said in a threatening voice, "You are in the way".
Both Mimi and Meghan got caught off guard by Gabriel\'s sudden appearance. After initial shock, both Mimi and Meghan angrily squinted their eyes. Two of them left while stomping their feet. Sarah looked after them and saw them taking seats in the back. \'Seems that Mimi is the leader and Megan is the follower of this Aiden-worship group. Do they have more members? They are persistent. I need to find a way to keep them in check, else they will keep pestering me.\', Sarah thought.
"Thank you", Sarah said to Gabriel.
"No problem", Gabriel responded.
The lesson passed without further incidents. Sarah was busy taking notes and pushed thoughts of Mimi and Megan to the back of her mind.
"Do you want me to take you to your dorm?", after class Gabriel was concerned that Mimi and Megan are not done.
Sarah looked towards Mimi and Megan, they were leaving the classroom and whispering between themselves. "No need. Thank you. If they try anything, I can handle them", Sarah thought that if they attack her outside, out of view of security cameras, it will just make her work easier.
~Tesla University, women\'s dorm~
Sarah was in front of her PC, playing "Age of Legends", filling up time, waiting for 9 PM when their "Hill-family-chat" will begin. Few minutes before 9 PM she disconnected from game and logged into Hill family virtual conference room.
Hill family virtual conference room uses a software developed by Orion Enterprise. It is a virtual conference where image of each participant is shown, and video of the one who is talking is magnified for everyone to see.
Edward and JoAnna were already logged in.
...system message: Sarah joined conference...
[Edward]: "Hi, baby girl! How was your week?"
[Sarah]: "So far so good. Not much unexpected. This will be another easy semester. I think I need few more exams and I will have enough credits to apply for internship."
[Edward]: "That\'s good to hear. Don\'t forget to come to Orion Enterprise for internship. This summer we will open 3 positions for undergrad-level interns."
[Sarah]: "Really? That sounds great. I will have enough credits for internship by summer. But I have a concern...", Sarah was interrupted by a system message.
...system message: Sophia joined conference...
...system message: Stella joined conference...
After everyone exchanged greetings, JoAnna explained what Sophia and Stella missed.
[JoAnna]: "Dad is trying to convince baby sister to come and do her internship this summer in his kingdom."
[Sophia]: "You will be eligible to take internship this summer? That\'s great! Come to Orion Enterprise, I miss you!"
[Sarah]: "Summer internship in Orion Enterprise sounds great. It\'s just that I have reservations towards doing internship under dad. What if everyone thinks that I get a special treatment because of him? As much as I\'m proud of my whole family, I would like to prove my abilities and raise with my own strength"
[Sophia]: "Makes sense... What if we arrange that you report to someone else during internship?"
[Edward]: "In any case, I don\'t handle interns. My report, Mike is handling interns. So, you will report to Mike. Nothing to do with me. Does that sound OK? Or you want us to shuffle it even more?"
[Sarah]: "As long as I don\'t report to you, I think it\'s fine."
[Edward]: "Deal! Hahaha! It will be a great summer!"
[Sophia]: "I think that\'s settled. Baby sister, I will send you information before we open window for internship applications. I have another important reminder for everyone: Do not forget that company\'s Christmas party is coming up. It will be in the evening on 22nd. That is Friday. Will everyone be able to join?"
[Stella]: "I will be home by then, so no problem from my side. Sarah?"
[Sarah]: "My last day of school is 22nd, but I will leave a bit earlier so that I can reach home in time to prepare and come to the party... Oh, I will need a dress!"
[Sophia]: "No worries, baby sister. Big sister got you covered.", Sophia was confident in herself. "This will be the best Christmas party ever! This year, besides our employees, we also invited number of important partners. It will be great, you will see", Sophia was very excited about the upcoming party. She loved organizing all kinds of parties, and they were always on point with everyone taken care of.
[JoAnna]: "Oh, you are in your element. Enjoy, big sister, enjoy.", JoAnna was happy to see her sister so excited.
They chatted for some time, and then wished each other good night before logging off.
After logging off, Sarah was thinking of her incident with Mimi and Megan. After few minutes of contemplating, she hacked into University student database and started searching for files related on these two. About half an hour later, she had two folders ready with complete school-related-information on Michelle Wilson (aka Mimi), and Megan Jackson. Besides their current schedule and location in dorms, there was nothing much useful. Both of them had grades slightly below University average, they didn\'t have any record in their files of causing trouble or having any achievement. They were regular students who could easily be neglected in the crowd, not standing out in any way. Sarah thought of expanding her search, to find more information on them, but it was getting late. She will continue this work some other day, tomorrow maybe.
