She opened her eyes. The sun was blinding since she was at the east side of the room. She stood and entered the bathroom to shower, the girls were still sleeping.
Fuck! By six in the morning their still asleep.
She let the water trickle down from her head down to her body liking the cool of it.
Don't they have a timer or an alarm here. After all this is a school.
Marcy came out of the bathroom her towel loosely tied around her chest. They were still asleep. She checked her wardrobe and brought out her uniform. It was neatly folded and packed. The dress was a royal purple skirt and sleeveless jacket. The shirt was white and with full sleeves. She put it on and sat waiting for the alarm to ring.
Didn't miss Amara tell me there was an alarm?
Suddenly the house mistress came in.
"You're still asleep?!" She barked and the trios awoke. "Don't tell me you disabled your alarm?!" She barked in a high pitched voice, her angel looking at the girls sternly.
So that's it? Those freaks disabled the alarm.

"First, before we start, I would like to introduce the new student, miss Marcy Von", the teacher said. Marcy stood and walked to the front of the class. All eyes on her. "Introduce yourself,miss"
"I'm Marcy Von ", she said looking at them trying so hard not to cry or laugh... Or both.
There was silence at first, then it came as the heavy rush of wind. The laughter , it was killing. " Quiet!" The teacher barked.
"Wait, you don't have a status?"
"No hobbies?"
"No guardian angel", someone said and they all stopped talking. They all stared at her. She had no angel.
"Where's your angel?" Someone asked and she stared at him not uttering a word.
The teacher came to save her at that moment. "We all know we have early and late bloomers. She's probably a late bloomer", she said and the class quieted down.
" Then secondly, drop your assignments before leaving", she said and they groaned. A seat had already been kept for her, so she went back to her seat as the teacher commanded her to.
" History has it that Netro was the land of the gods, before we were made", the teacher began. Marcy met someone looking at her and those eyes were boring into her soul. She turned to see him, he was that guy she ran into in the hallway on her first day.
Fuck! Why is he staying alone at the back?
" But story had it that the angel Lucille Von was thrown down to earth to search for her human and fufill a destiny we all do not know about", the teacher said and dropped her pen on the desk.
" Miss?" Someone called and she looked towards the direction of the sound. ," Okay, George, ask ", she said.
The so called George stood to his feet. "If late bloomers ended at eighteen", he said looking at Marcy.
I knew this would happen anyway.
"How old is she?" He finally asked. The class looked at her and she gulped hard.
Fuck !
"Do... I... I have to say it?" She asked stuttering. How in Netro could she say that she was nineteen. A year ahead of a typical late bloomer. "You don't...". The teacher started to say, but the students knew better, they began screaming out their ears and eyes.
"What's your age?"
"Quiet class. She'll tell us, just keep shut", the teacher said. This teacher loved peace and quiet like it was her life, like It was her reason to live.
" Now, tell us, miss Marcy Von", the teacher ordered. "I'm... I'm..." She stammered.
"I'm nineteen", she blurted out.

This world had cool angels, hot angels, cold ones and lukewarm ones. Angels were meant to protect, guard and guide. But due to the economic struggle and the struggle for power, this world was divided into three; the elite, the middle class and the poor. The question is this, why does these angels still stay by their side? Why don't they sleep?
Then a more better question, who is the person that would open the green gate to life, eternity and we'll enough supremacy? The fallen angel Lucille had a mission to fufil and there has been no trace of her.
Where is De Lucille Von?
The mayor who was seated reading a book dropped it as soon as the principal of Netro entered the office. "Welcome, Mrs principal", he said laughing in that tone fat and greedy people laugh.
" I don't need any ushering. Why did you also agree on putting the girl on a scholarship to my school?" She asked obviously annoyed.
The mayor laughed and said, " she's a lab rat, you know. Let's say in a school full of elite children and some random street girl comes in - " He started laughing, then stopped to clear his throat before he continued. " - what do you think would happen. And besides we're all human after all. She might end up being the greatest. For now, I have other things I'm worried about", he said and picked up the book again flipping to the next page.
"What's that?" The principal asked.
" It's something called evolution", he said.
The principal who was quite knowledgeable about the evolution of the world and angels said. "Are you referring to the angels?" He asked and he nodded slightly. " What do you mean by that?" She asked and the mayor turned to her and showed his clean set of teeth that had braces on them.
"Nothing much. Just wondering about De Lucille Von, the fallen angel. Has she found her mate? Has she accomplished her mission?" He said and the principal laughed.
" By the way, I heard a rumour going round the school today ", she said decreasing her voice. "What is it?" He asked in same tone and she rolled her eyes and continued, " The new girl has no angel", she said and finally sat down opposite the mayor.
The mayor waited to let his brain sync with the words that came out of her mouth, it wasn't.
"What do you mean? Are you serious? Maybe she's a late bloomer ", he said and looked at his angel.
"No, she's not"
"What the fuck do you mean by that?" He asked annoyed.
"I noticed something strange about her though, until I learnt she was nineteen and had no angel ", she said and looked at the mayor.
"Do you want to reconsider your experiment?" She asked finally smiling.
Shockingly and well surprising, he said, "No"
"What?"
"I said no, this would make it more fun for me", he said and smiled a mischievous smile.
