Author's note: Sorry, haven't update as quick as I would like to, because the past few days I've been quite busy... So, hopefully this chapter will be better! In this chapter, Azula goes all out phsychotic. Most of the descriptions are inspired by Flandre Scarlet, a kind of sadistic girl. She's actually a game character and has a awesome theme song! Ok, so with my mindless rambles done, let's proceed with the story. And as always, remember to review!
Meeting Riko
Azula's POV
That scent... So familiar... Dirt. The blind dirt girl. As I expected... They have not learnt about the uselessness of what they call 'friends'. Such people just pull you down whether it is by accident or they are jerks, they always pull you down in the end. But I've learnt much. Turning back, I saw the retreating figure of that boy. Like a cat, I crawled soundlessly behind him.
I came to a house. The boy enters the house. He ons the light. I peeped in from a window, and saw scattered homework. I smiled at the little drawings he done on them of the blind dirt girl. Doubt it would be hard to find her this way. My eyes traced up the paper where I saw his name, class and school. But before I can look further, the lights went off.
Midnight, I crawled into the principal's office an saw her sleeping on the desk. She does look a bit like dad, but they all are weak in the end, so who cares? So I got a scissor from her desk and swiftly stabbed her neck. Yes, I like this feeling. The warm liquid that comes out of my toys are so beautiful, such a nice colour. But sadly, this toy does not move much when the liquid comes out. I don't think it will move ever again. That's such a waste. Picking up the phone at her desk, I dialed the form teacher of the boy's class. Registering myself as a student was easy. These weaklings are easy to manipulate. So fun.
Time for shopping. I walked across the empty corridors to the shop that sells uniforms. There sat a cleaner. Hmm... He will fit nicely as a prop. Grabbing another scissors, I also stabbed his neck, and brought him to the office so it will seem like they were fighting, perfect! These dolls are the best. Cause they make other dolls fear. Fear is a nice emotion to use. Burning away the fingerprints, I wiped the blood off my hands on the scissors, and dropped it on the ground. Now dollies will fear.
I looked at the array of uniforms. What would Ty Lee choose, I wonder. Short and tight. Yep. She is a useful tool aside from fear at controlling dollies. Okay, I'm set. Time for school!
Riko's POV
Well, school it is again. Dragging my bag to the classroom, I dropped it onto the floor as I fell on the chair. This so is going to be a boring day. How I wish something happens or at least I can see Toph... And her friends. Their bending is so cool, if only I could do that. But I already have a drawing of me and Toph in her room. Hopefully she will think about me the same way I think about her.
As usual, I tuned out all the other noises in the classroom and statt drawing. Under my pen, a scenery of Mount Fuji formed. It is a nice looking mountain anyhow.
"CLASS" a familiar scream resounded in the room, silencing all the other noises. Students auickly rushed back to their seats. "This is Not a marketplace" Mdm Tan glared at us. I heaved a long sigh as I prepare myself for a long day of trying not to fall asleep in class.
"We have a new student. Her name is Sapphire" she stepped aside, revealing a rather hot looking teenage girl. I admit she is rather beautiful, but not my type. But she's going to be popular, taking into account how many boys are currently drooling. She has a sharp nose and golden eyes? Maybe she wore contact lenses. Her hair was ties into a topknot with two (A/N: what do you call it? Feelers?) feelers hanging down beside her head. Her body is very lean, a sure sign she is a sportswoman, or someone as athletic. A seductive smile tugged at her lips.
She stepped in front of the teacher and introduced. "I am Sapphire Lee. I just came here recently. Hope you all can welcome me" she said calmly, her voice and posture radiating confidence. Not sure whether it is just me, or it was real, she threw a seductive look at me. This is surely the type of woman I would tag a warning sign on. By the third day, I bet she'd be kissed at least ten times. Considering our strict parents and school rules, that is saying a lot. A lot. She went to her seat. The only empty seat. Beside me.
I rested my head on my hand as I continued drawing, listening to lessons half-heartedly. Most of the students will be chucking as much information as possible now, because exam is around the corner. But studies had always been relatively easy to me. Like when I write answers, my trusty hand and eyes will do the job. If you ask me what the exam was about, I will be like, "Whaaa?" Kind of like drawing. Maybe thats why I good at both.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of files dropping, and frantic clip-clops. I looked up, and saw my teacher running hurriedly away. Since she is like a the head of department of English, maybe she had some problems? But... This never happened before. The sirens of police cars could be heard gradually. Holy crap, what happened? The chatter around me grew. A scream resounded through the school. Everybody fell into silence. No one dared to speak, to move or to do anything at all. The silence in the air felt too loud, too unbearable. The whole school was silent, except for the ticking of the clock. Even the sirens stopped. I know that the policemen are busy, but this silence was too heavy, too unbearable.
"Calm down everyone. We're in this together. All is well (A/N Haha, a quote from the '3 idiots'. Check it out! It is one of the nicer indian movies I've watched and it was awesome!) All is well" Sapphire said in a slightly calm voice with a shake in her tone. But somehow there seemed to be a little bit of glee in her tone too. Or maybe I've just gone insane. The class nervously chatted with each other, but the noise seemed so forced. Like the hold classroom itself was holding its breath, waiting for something to happen.
"Class! Our principal is dead!" Mdm Tan frantically gasped. My mouth dropped open. My school principal maybe just about the strictest you can find around, but she has helped the school achieve medals upon medals. Once again, the silence returned, like a presence in the classroom. My body felt weak. I've never known anyone around me dying. Not seeing someone forever? I cannot imagine that.
"Riko..." a soft voice beside me, barely audible. "Did she die... Because of me? I transferred in and somehow..." Sapphire was like frozen. A statue. It was too much of a coincidence, but I cannot believe her now killing someone. I didn't know what came over me. I pulled her towards me and rested her head on my shoulder. She suddenly broke down like a glass. Crying on my shoulder, I stroked her back, calming her down. She pulled me into a hug. I felt really warm, not in an uncomfortable way, but weirdly comfortable. After a while, she released me. The tension, though still in the air, receded a bit now. I gave Sapphire a smile, though forced, it seemed sufficient for her. I took a blank piece of paper and drew the likes of our deceased principal. The class placed it on the teacher's table. A once strict but good principal, now is only a memory.
Azula's POV
Ha, at least they have some brains. Whatever 'morality' they call, the cleaner was not even mentioned! Hah, maybe I can turn this Riko to my side. At least I'm on my way to have him in my grasp.
