Chapter 7

Okay one thing's for sure is that everyone in this class takes their education seriously though they try their best to stifle in laughters at the teacher.

"Rebecca Smith, please come forward." The teacher calls out and I do as she says.

" I am your History teacher Mrs Darcy. Care to introduce yourself," she says more lively than when she first entered class.

"Well you already have so..." the words come out before I can stop them and a few students try holding in their laughters.

"Attitude on day one Rebecca. Don't worry you will leave Reform well reformed."

" I am so sorry Mrs Darcy," I plead. She gestures for me to sit and I do so before she gets more irritated.

How does this institute change people? One thing's for sure is that they do not cane students that's all that can scare anyone. We are in the 21st century and this is America.

Mrs Darcy is kind to me while she is teaching. She finds harmony in her job because her dull attitude instantly changes to a lively tone when she teaches. At a drop of hat the lessons end and Taylor and I go to the cafeteria to fill our stomachs.

"So Rebecca.." I glare at him.

"What?" he asks confusion written all over his face.

"Please call me Becky, Rebecca is not quite nice my mom normally calls me that when she's angry at me over something." I inform him.

He nods with a smile.

We get three plates of food. A plate with fries and wings while the other two had burgers. A glass of strawberry milkshake and two containing mango juice.

"I'm sorry to ask but do you always have two plates of food?" I ask.

"No actually it's for..."

"Hi babe!" a third voice interrupts us. It is a short girl with wavy blonde hair wearing a tight skirt of knee level with a shirt. She has smooth skin, a dimple on her cheek making her look so beautiful. The girl kisses Taylor on his lips and takes a seat besides him her eyes jovial.

" Hi oh babe this is Re- Becky," he points at me.

"Hi Becky, nice to meet you." She smiles at me making her dimple show clearly.

" And this is my girlfriend Mia," he introduces her with so much love in his eyes.

"Nice to meet you too," I shake her hands.

"I am so hungry," Mia grabs a French fry and throws it in her mouth as she savors the taste. On the other hand I take a sip of my mango juice. Taylor briefs Mia on how we met and she seems incredibly interested. It is about time I ask the two of them a question that has been burning inside of me.

"What do they do to people here? To change them?" the two look at me like the answer is at the palm of my hands. I gesture with my eyes for them to answer my question.

"Well they show love." Is she serious.

"You are kidding right?" She looks at me like her answer is clear enough.Mia sighs and enlightens her previous statement.

"They show love to the students you know to soften their hearts. They believe that everyone just needs some love in their lives to cast away the bitterness within them."

So this is the deal.Then it will not be bad here after all. For instance the school will just supply love from corner to corner and I have met nice people like Taylor, Mia, Fine, Ben.... no Benjamin is not nice at all. He's got an ego bigger than China's population.

Thinking of the devil and it appears in front of me. He is with Fine, Jace and a couple of other people who I do not recognize. If there is one thing to brighten up Benjamin's black in black outfit it is the girl next to him with lavender hair. Jeez that bright hair. Fine smiles at us as she by passes our table.

"You are lucky to be able to hang  out with Fine and her friends especially Benjamin Wadsworth. He's so fucking hot," Taylor clears his throat  at his girlfriend's statement.

" Just saying babe. You are still my hottest." His expression softens making me laugh at his jealousy.

" I met him yesterday, he's got a lot of attitude," I say remembering how he looked at me like I were on mute.

" Sure he does that's why many girls want to throw themselves at him." Taylor speaks.

" Not me and Mia," I respond.

We clear our plates and leave almost immediately. The next lesson is Literature in English. Mia leaves Taylor   and I. Apparently, she is great at physics and has never banked any lesson. These days beauty does have brains. The lesson gets done sooner than I expected. Taylor and I exit the classroom with the other students.

"You know you're good girl, I wonder what your doing here," Taylor begins.

"It's a long story," I shake my head not wanting to remember the horrible events.

"Okay," he simply says.

The air is filled with comfortable silence as we walk. He says his goodbye to me and I make my way to dorm.

I place my bag at the edge of my bed and take the liberty to call my dad. He answers on the second ring.

"Hi Re..."

"Dad!" my warning clear.

"Okay. Becky how's the going?"

"It's fine. My roommate is actually called Fine," I inform him. She was not here to judge me. He laughs. I position myself on a sofa chair for one that was right next to Fine's bed. That's all it took for me to tell my every detail well except finding Jace and Fine having a little cunnilingus adventure. There is no way I could master up the courage to tell him that so I tell him the other experiences.

"It's alright here dad thank you for convincing me to come," I tell my loving dad.

"You're welcome sweetie," he replies excitedly. The door flings open and Benjamin walks in.

"Honey I have some work to finish I'll talk to you later,"

"Okay dad,"

"Do not forget to stay safe and eat healthy foods," he reminds.

"Okay mom," I hear him laugh before I hung up.

Benjamin lays comfortably on my bed. This boy has some nerves what is wrong with his friend's bed? I clear my throat causing him to stand up then walk towards the desk. Wow I am quite intimidating today. He picks out a novel from the desk and goes back to my bed resting the back of his head on my pillow and his feet correction feet with shoes on almost close to my bag. How disrespectful! I wish I lay on my bed instead of sit on this mini sofa next to my roommate's bed. I hope he is not avoiding sitting on his friend's bed because I am close to it. If only I rested on my bed I would have saved my energy for this pointless argument.
