Her Soul and His Blood

Chapter 4: 4. Friends Forever

'Trrrrrrngggggg'.

His gaze was fixed on hers, he held her hand tight and brought her up in a straight posture. He looked

at her eyes and it felt longer than it actually was.

"Your eyes are beautiful."

Percy Gillest, he had tousled dark brown hair, which was thick and lustrous. His eyes were a

mesmerizing deep ocean blue, flecks of silvery light performed ballets throughout. His face was strong

and defined, his features moulded from granite. He had dark eyebrows, which sloped downwards in a

serious expression. His build was like a strong man who always exercises. A smile started to travel

through his lips.

"I-am sorry, I didn't mean to... I am so sorry" Zella apologized in a very low tone.

He smiled back at her and said softly.

"I haven't seen you before here, so you must be the new girl."

He started grinning. He put his hand forth and shook her hand introducing himself.

"I am Percy Gillest, I am your classmate. You can approach me if you need any help, i will be always at

your desk."

"That's so nice of you." She said with a broad smile.

" Excuse me professor"

"Yes, late for the first day new lady, come quick and take your seat, since this is your first day you are

excused. Children this is your new classmate, Zella Christi, make her comfortable. And no bullying."

Zella bowed her head down with a guilty of being late on the first day. Eli and Percy sat nearby Zella.

Zella felt so comfortable with them. They started to get to know each other in a husky voice.

"So you just moved few days before" said Percy

"Yea.. Just few days back."

"So where are you staying" Eli interrupted.

"Near...."

"Silence... I shouldn't be hearing any noises. This is not some talking class. This is history class.

Concentrate or you people will be ending up in detention. I hope you people can understand at least

this."

The class was fell into a pin drop silence. Professor William teaches history. He is a stout man with a

dark mustache. He is very strict about discipline and school rules. He love nerds and those who are

attentive and active in classes. He used to help them and encourage them. Every single person in the

class was afraid of him and never back answered to him.

He always used to give a lot of assignments and it should be submitted on time. He also loves giving

punishment to the extreme level. But on the inside he was a kind man who help anyone and who love

kids so much.

Professor continued taking classes. He started asking questions "so, who will answer my question?"

Everyone kept silent. Suddenly a hand raised. "Sir"

Everyone turned their focus to him. Zella looks beside from where she heard the voice. It was filled with novelbin

confidence and boldness. She didn't even blink her eyes and giving him a fanciful look she whispered

to herself "he is so charming". She couldn't resist looking at him until the silence was broken by "yes,

Lance Peterson, I was waiting for your response". He answered the question brilliantly.

"Brilliant. You always conquered the class with your answers" professor said so proudly.

"Who is that nerd?" Zella asked surprisingly.

"That's Lance Peterson, topper and nerd. He is son of our headmaster and this school belongs to

them" Percy whispered and added "He is rude, he won't speak to anyone. Everyone is scared of him

but don't know why. Even me" he chuckles.

"Ok students, now the class is dismissed and you, Zella, you have lot of assignments since you are

new here you have to compensate with last year assignment too.. better make more friends. Come and

meet me later. I will tell you what your assignment is."

Professor left the class, everyone greeted him. Many came to meet Zella and introduced themselves to

her, except the nerd. She was expecting him to talk to her. He didn't even care to give a glance.

Percy leaned towards Zella and they both went into a long conversation. Zella saw from the corner of

her eyes from the side of her shoulder, a sharp look which was so deep and intense, it could pierce her,

may be it has jealous mixed in it.

'Is the nerd looking at me, i feel like he is jealous, but of what?' She continued talking with Percy and

Eli.
