CHAPTER 6
Ava’s Pov
After so much struggle, I was finally able to get my foot off where it got stuck and I stumbled to the ground.
“Ouch!” I winced in pain, and when I raised my head to look at where he was, I saw that he rode off.
So, he didn't really care about me. He could have hit me and not cared at all. I frowned at him as I saw him riding off, and I managed to rise to my feet.
“Son of a bitch!” I cursed under my breath and turned away from that direction.
I headed back to the dorm instead of going back to whatever games they were having. I already had enough of all that.
Before going to the dorm, I quickly headed to the main building to find the remnant of the clothes I saw in one of the lockers. I could wear those until I was able to get new clothes on my own.
I walked through the hallways as quickly as I could until I got to the locker room and opened it. Thankfully, the clothes were still there. If I had come any later, the cleaners could have gotten rid of them since there was no one making use of them.
“Phew!” I let out a relieved sigh.
As soon as I had gotten those clothes, I turned around to leave and headed back to the dorm.
On getting back to the dorm, I saw the first triplet lying on the bed and having fun on his phone. I only rolled my eyes and went to my bed, then I let out a sigh as I stared at the ceiling.
“Goodnight papa, goodnight mama.” I said and shut my eyes, which were becoming heavy.

The next day, I woke up very early, feeling energetic and ready for what beheld of me. I had ensured that I woke up this early just so I wouldn't have to see anyone or wash up in the same bathroom as them.
I picked up my change of clothes and then walked to the bathroom, where I turned on the shower and had a quick bath.
It felt so nice to be able to remove all my clothes and stay naked rather than wearing male clothes and tying something around my chest. But then it was a pity that it couldn't last.
As soon as I was done bathing, I tied the piece of cloth around my chest and put on the clothes, then held on to the one I had changed out of.
“Ready for the day.” I said under my breath with a satisfied smile.
I walked back to my room and waited until the day broke.
When the day broke, I headed to the class even before the triplets left, and getting to the class, I felt a little intimidated by the different guys that were there. Some were tall, big, huge, and of average height. But the fact that I was the only female made me feel a little intimidated.
Everyone was having a chat, laughing, and all happy. How I wish I was also able to chat freely. More like I wish we could skip to a month’s time, and I'm here talking with so many of them freely with no one noticing that I was a female.
“Alright, let's all settle down.” I heard an adult male voice speak, and I quickly found myself a seat.
“I welcome you all to your first year, and I must tell you, you're going to enjoy your time in this school as long as you all behave yourselves. The rules aren't difficult to abide by, so if you do that, you're good to go.” The teacher said to us, and we all stayed quiet to listen.
“So, your first lesson today is going to be based on strength training. I'll like to see each of your strengths; what you got there to protect or defend yourselves.” He announced to us and began to look around.
My heart began to beat faster and my breath became heavier as I hoped he wasn't going to pick me and he wouldn't have to focus on everyone for this test.
In fact, I wish I actually called in sick and skipped the first class, but now that I was here, there was nothing much I could do.
“Alright, Jace Harrison, you're up first. You'll have a power struggle with Daniel Longman. Alright, let's get to it.” The teacher urged them, and they both rose to their feet and walked to the front of the class, where a table was brought before them.
I see that was the name of the first jerk. The last name Harrison seemed familiar to me, but which family could I have known when I was just a princess who was being taken care of and never meddled in political affairs or the real matters that grownups attended to?
Looking at Jace and Daniel, they had smirks on their faces, and there was no sign of intimidation either.
I envied the fact that they didn't seem bothered or nervous. But for me, I was nervous about two things: I'm a female, and I obviously can't overpower most of the guys in here.
While everyone looked so excited to watch them and their attention was focused on them, I only watched in agony and fear that it was going to be my turn soon.
“Yes! And Jace Harrison is the winner.” The teacher announced, and everyone clapped.
As Jace walked back to his seat, our eyes met, and he sneered at me and smirked before he walked past me. I shook my head and paid attention as the teacher called names until I heard mine.
“Ava Kendall!” I heard my name, and I gasped in shock.
My breath seized in a moment, and all eyes were on me. I was completely frozen, and my palms were cold and sweaty.
“Ava Kendall?” I heard the teacher call out my name again, and I blinked my eyes and rose to my feet.
I heard low laughters from a part of the class, and my legs felt like they could wobble anytime.
“It's your turn, and you'll be pairing up with Thomas Newton.”
I looked to my left to see who my opponent was, and to my shock, it was the same guy who wanted to have a go at me in the hallway yesterday morning.
He had a smirk on and stylishly trailed a finger around his throat, which I knew what he meant.
He would finally have the chance to probably make ridicule of me.
