Chapter 20 - Lightning Speed!

"Alright, you may go back to your class for now and make sure that your guardian comes first thing in the morning to discuss your behavior." She then turned around to speak to Chupsy.

"You can rest assured that we will not tolerate such behavior, and we will get to the bottom of this. I will ask for you to come tomorrow when her guardian arrives. You may go now..." Ms. Williams waved her hand to excuse the two before leaning back to her chair let out a sigh while shaking her head at the same time.

When Chupsy and the bully walked out of Ms. Williams's office, they found that the three girls, Prince Edmund, and the two bodyguards, were all gathered together conversing.

The bully couldn't look them in the eyes and hurriedly left without looking back. Chupsy, with a smirk on her face, only raised her right hand with a thumbs up before leading everyone away from the headmistress's office.

The children went back to their respective classes as if nothing happened. However, when the three girls arrived at their classroom, they found Cyrstal and the other bully sitting inconspicuously at their table.

When the three girls passed by their table, they lowered their heads and acted as if they didn't see them. However, Ava was the type who would not allow herself to be bullied and stopped right in front of the two.

She didn't say a word; she didn't need to. Her appearance was intimidating. She just stood there glaring at them. Akira and Pearl followed suit and also stood right behind Ava, glaring at Crystal and the other bully.

Crystal found her courage and was going to say something, but the door suddenly opened, and their teacher arrived with her brows snapped together. She dropped the lesson plan that she was carrying with a bang on the table.

"Children! Listen up! I'm warning you! I just came from the headmistress's office and was informed that someone tried to bully other students in the restroom after lunch today. However, the bully was caught and will be punished severely. So if any of you even think of bullying a classmate, just know that it will not be tolerated, and you will be punished or expelled for that matter." She heaved a sigh before continuing to speak.

"I can't believe that as prestigious as our Royal Academy, there's someone who has the guts to actually try and bully another person. Now, take out your textbooks and open them so we can begin our class." She then turned, facing the blackboard to write something.

After writing on the board, she turns her attention back to the students.

"This is my name; you may call me ma'am, teacher, or my name. And for the grading system, 25% of your grade is your attendance. I will be doing roll calls daily, so make sure you're present when I do. Group projects, homework, and participation in the class will account for another 25%. Lastly, mock and actual test grades will account for 50% of your total grade. Do you all understand?!"

Her voice was loud enough for everyone to hear all the way to the back, where the three girls were seated.

After the teacher made her introductions, the class began without delay.

"Yehey!!!" Shouted Ava after finding that their internet was now at high speed, and she could start using her PC to play video games. She was overjoyed that she couldn't contain her excitement. She ran out of her room and started shouting in the living room. She was so loud that it could wake up the dead.

While she was jumping up and down, the door from the outside opened, and Mary, who was on guard for the night, came in with a package from the Philippines. She approached Ava, who was still elated and couldn't contain herself.

"Miss, a package for you! It seems it's from the Philippines. It was an express courier that delivered it." Mary then handed the package to Ava before turning around to go back to her post outside the door.

Just as Ava was about to tear open the box, Akira walked in, wearing a short and loose shirt with headset hanging on her shoulder, followed by Pearl, who still had a towel on her head and was wearing pink matching top and bottom pajamas, and pink teddy bear slippers on her feet as she dragged them towards Ava.

"What's going on?" The two girls spoke simultaneously as they reached Ava and saw there was a big box with a postmark from the Philippines. Excitedly the two girls sat on the sofa, anticipating what was inside the box.

Their eyes grew as wide as saucers while waiting for Ava to finally get it opened.

Once Ava got the box opened, she started taking the items inside of it out and laying them on the top of the table one by one.

There were six separate small boxes inside, and they all bore the same kind of items. When the two girls saw these, their eyes sparkled before they quickly knelt down in front of the in-table to pick a box and checked to make sure that they were not hallucinating.

Ava had asked her mother to send skincare products for the girls and for the three bodyguards. She made sure she sounded pitiful enough for her mother to make haste in sending one via express delivery.

A slight smile protruded on her face; it seems that it worked because it was only a little over a day, and here it was.

Ava knew that the girls would be ecstatic once they saw what was inside the box. She was going to tease them and tell them that all of it was for her own personal use but decided against it when she saw how happy the two were.

"You both can have one each, and call Mary outside and if Chupsy and Pisces are still awake, tell them to come too." She didn't hesitate to order around the two girls; she knew they would gladly do her bidding with a gift like that....
