BOUND 'A game of love and power'

I was surprised to find out that we both would be in the same class . She has been my neighbor for a year and I never knew we were both studying the same course.

Well , how can I know when I hardly communicate with people.

She smiled at me as she pulled my hands to an empty seat beside the window on the second roll.

"Will you sit outside or inside ?"

I stared at the seat for a minute before deciding to sit inside where I would have access to the window with ease .

I look around the classroom, not many students had resumed . Most of the students do skil this first week especially the naughty and rich ones whom stayed up until the second week .I shrugged and shifted my attention to the chemistry teacher who just entered.

After wishing us a happy new year and a successful academic session , she wrote down our test . I was always prepared for this test because it's as important as our clearance . I quickly finished and submitted.

She collected our scripts , said a few things , then gave us the topic for the next class we are to make research on and left .

"How was your holiday ?" The occupants in the next seat asked themselves. The class itself started with it's uproar. This is usually the moment I hate most . I rolled my eyes and brought out a book .

"Will you attend the bonfire in the fourth week ?"

My body involuntarily jerked as I sharply turned to my side . Seriously, I sighed . I have forgotten that my neighbor was still with me .

"Uhm , maybe ." I shrugged. I don't really attend the resumption bonfire as it was always nasty and boring . I would just sit through the party watching other students dancing and enjoying themselves. I preferred the end of session bonfire , at least I would have something to do .

"You will attend ." She nudged me . I shook my head as an affirmative that I won't go .

"We will go together." She said smiling . I just gave a shrug. Not to be bothered about it .

The next teacher came in and like the former , we wrote the test and jotted down the topic for the next class . When it was time for lunch, we went to the school's cafeteria. I ordered my favorite, smashed potato, with omelette and orange drink.

My neighbor ordered hers too . The caf was really quiet as because those noisy students weren't back yet . We ate our food in peace without anyone barging in on your food .

Immediately I finished my lunch , I quickly left for the library to start my research.

"Debbie!!" My neighbor shouted as she waved at me to wait .

"You could have called me ." She said when she got closer to me . A look if hurt flash across her eyes . I instantly felt bad about my attitude. It wasn't my fault though . I don't have friends and I don't know how to make one .I do my things my self and if it's too much ,I call up on my mom or our school bursar as she's my mother's childhood friend.

I apologize to her and we entered the library together.

**********

The next morning,I woke up earlier than usual as I wanted to escape the morning gossip and pranks in the bathroom. I combed my hair and tied it in a pony tail. That had been my hairstyles. I gathered my books in my bag and locked the door . Thinking twice ,I decided to knock on my neighbor's door .

"Set ?" I asked her immediately she opened it .

"Yes ." She responded as she hand brush her hair and picked up her bag .

We went for our breakfast before dashing to the classroom when we were done .
