41 Chapter Forty: I'll Let You Know

"Are you nervous?" Daniel asked as he opened the car door for me.

"Don't mock me, Danny! I'm trying my best over here to not make a mess of myself on the very first day of my Senior year in this school." I replied in a whispered tone as I climbed out of the car.

The huge building that was standing in front of me clearly conveyed the status of my new school.

Leo had already told me that I was going to attend the most famous and outstanding high school in our city.

However, I was not expecting to come across such a high profile school. The campus was covering quite more region than what I expected.

Daniel just gave me a soft smile as he took my right hand in his own before heading towards the entrance of the main building.

Within the next ten minutes, I found myself sitting in the office of the Headmistress of my new High School, a woman who looked too young to be a Headmistress.

"Mr. Alessandro, what a nice surprise! I never expected to see any of you brothers here after Leo passed his Senior year last term. Who would have guessed that with a new term we will be seeing a new member of the Alessandro Family in this school?" 

The Headmistress said in such a chirpy tone that she immediately reminded me of the Harpy girl who accompanied Mark and me on the very day when I lost my control over myself and caused chaos in the mansion.

As the headmistress looked at me from head to toe and back again, I just stood there silently as I waited for Daniel to quickly finish his business with the lady.

"I just want you to make sure that Emily won't have any problems in the school. Of course, that doesn't mean that you should give her any special treatments. Just make sure that we won't receive any complaints. In return, we promise that she will behave herself and won't cause any problems." 

Daniel looked serious as he said these words out loud, staring straight at the Headmistress who first passed me a quick glance before nodding her head in affirmation. 

"Don't worry. As long as she doesn't come out as an exact copy of either Mark, Simon, or Crist, I don't think the staff here would mind. As for the students, I'll keep my eyes on her." She looked just as much serious as Daniel as she replied.

I could do nothing except gawk at her in surprise. Did the Headmistress just say that she's going to keep her eyes on me? Why?

Daniel and the Headmistress talked a little more while I got my time table, ID card, and locker key from the assistant.

By the time we left the Headmistress' office, it was already ten past nine, and my first class of the day was about to start in the next ten minutes.

"Jackson will be here in the afternoon to pick you up for your tuition classes. Remember to call me or any other of your brothers if you want anything. Enjoy your first day. Okay?" Daniel once again tried his very best to remind me about all the important things that I needed to keep in my mind.

I knew that people around the long hallway were giving us curious glances. Daniel's rich CEO personality and powerful aura immediately drew their attention towards him.

Even though he looked completely unfazed by their curious and awed glances, however, I was not like him.

Unlike Daniel, I was not used to having so much attention on me and soon enough, I started feeling more nervous and intimidated.

I finally took in a long deep breath when my gaze landed on the classroom that appeared on my right as we made our way to the third floor of the Science Block. 

"Here. It's time for me to leave. Don't forget about what I have been reminding you since yesterday. You should call....."

".....anyone of you guys as soon as I think that something is wrong or if someone is bullying me, etc, etc. Of course, I won't forget. You have reminded me so many times that by now it's engraved in my mind. Even if I want to forget it, I don't think that it will be possible." I hurriedly replied as I tightened my hold on my backpack while giving Daniel one of my cutest smiles.

"You are really a little devil," Daniel whispered softly as he shook his head. All this time, a smile was visible on his lips while his eyes twinkled with warmth.

With a quick hug, we finally departed. My brother made his way towards the staircase that would lead him downstairs and then out of the building while I made my way inside the waiting Chemistry classroom.

"I can't believe that you are back here." The Headmistress said with a little shake of her head as she looked at the boy sitting in front of her.

"Me neither." Rylan was quick to reply as he continued staring out of the huge glass window that was looking out at the beautiful scenery of the horizon.

The Headmistress let out a soft sigh before pushing a paper towards the boy as she spoke, "Here is your timetable for this term. I'm not expecting much from you except that you would finally control yourself and would stay away from problems."

Rylan picked up the paper as his eyes quickly scanned the contents of the sheet.

"Actually, I have decided to change a few of my courses." He finally said after the silence of a few moments.

The headmistress raised her eyebrows as she asked, "Really? Then what new courses are you going to take this year?"

She waited for the boy to answer her question and after a few seconds, he finally did answer her question.

However, his answer only made the Headmistress clench her fists in anger and frustration.

The reply that she got from Rylan was - "I haven't decided yet. Give me a few days and I'll let you know."
