The Unchosen Path

"Kris!!!! wake up! you're gonna be late for school!" her mom yelled from the door.

"ughhh" she groaned as she tossed herself grumpily on her bed. “not like they'd know am late anyway" she thought before heading for her bathroom sluggishly.

Moments later, she came out with a red towel wrapped around her chest and a towel wrapped around her hair. She turned to her walk in closet where she met her mother going through her stuffs.

"seriously ma, why are you going through my stuffs?" she asked her mother as she dried her hair with another smaller towel.

ignoring the scrutinising gaze of her daughter, she spoke up "can't I go through my daughter's stuff to see if she needs anything?" she asked jokingly earning a chuckle from Kristal.

"what ever ma, I need my privacy now." Kristal said while trying to hide her irritation.

"baby don't me mad at me okay....fine I'm leaving." her mother said as she exited the walk in closet. On getting to the door, she stopped before reminding her to hurry up for breakfast.

"yeah yeah...I want to dress up!" Kristal replied her mom before closing the door and locking it.

'that was close' she thought as she freed her hair from the towel before teleporting to her walk in closet. She dried her dye hair with the hand dryer before going through the cloths in her wardrobe. She settled with a blue baggy top, white joggers, a pair of white sneaker and a red headband.

Taking one last look at the full body mirror, she smiled and walked out of the room.

Downstairs.

Her father was sitting at the dining table while going through his tablet while her mother was serving breakfast.

"Maurice, let's get Kristal a private teacher" he suggested as soon she came out of the kitchen with pancakes.

"why? she's been doing pretty well at school " Maurice replied her husband who sighed.

"yeah, she's doing fine but I can't risk having her using her powers in public"

"oh Lucas, Kris is a big girl. she knows when to use her powers" Maurice said as she sat down.

"yeah of course she is...I only wanted your opinion Lucas replied before drop the tablet.

"morning pops" Kristal greeted her father with a peck on his cheeks before sitting down for breakfast. Without saying anything, she started eating. After taking to bites off a pancake she bided her parents farewell before teleporting.

Maurice face palmed "we really need to find a private tutor for her " Lucas chuckled before saying "you didn't want to get her a private tutor, so why bother?"

"just shut up" Maurice yelled at her husband before storming off to the kitchen.

At school...

Kristal appeared in the girls restroom looking like she had been there earlier. Nonchalantly, she walked out and headed straight to her class. Few minutes later, class started with mathematics. The lecturer walked in with his Harry porter glasses and stacks of A4 paper. He dropped them on the podium before clearing his throat. lecturer ordered them to switch seats. At the end of the arrangement, Kristal sat next to the school's female bully named Beatrice.

"you have an hour to finish your test. Malpractice is not allowed. Start"

immediately, everyone got busy with their sheets. Half way into the test, Beatrice started poking Kristal with her pen.

"hey weirdo! Pass me your booklet!" she demanded

"and why would I do that?" Kristal questioned with an annoyed tone.

"well duh, you don't deserve to pass this test" She snorted.

Kristal snorted and then ignored her. Seeing that she is being ignored, Beatrice tossed a sheet of paper towards her and then called the attention of the lecturer.

"Sir Wills! I caught Kristal cheating during the test!!" she reported making the class gasp. Kristal raised a brow at her.

"Kristal is that true?" he asked her straightaway to which she replied "no."

"yeah brat, how do you explain the sheet of paper that is lying next to your feet huh?" Beatrice pressed harder as she thought evilly 'if I don't pass this test, you don't have to pass it either!'

The lecturer glanced at both Kristal and Beatrice as he slowly bent to pick the paper. Without finding out the details, he told Kristal to submit her test paper and follow him to the principals office after the test officially ends.

Kristal replied cool with a "hmm"

Some of her classmates whispered among themselves.

"she doesn't look like someone that can cheat no?"

"yeah...even though she looks like a freaking vampire" the class burst out laughing much to the annoyance of Sir Wills.

"it seems you don't value your score" pointing to brad-the guy that referred to her as a vampire- he said "ten Mar have been deducted from your score"

as soon as he said that, the class remained quiet.
