this is your job. As far as I can see, you are only a teacher not a jury in the competition.” Maybe I shouldn’t talk to her like that, but she deserved it. Who gave her the power to call me a loser before she even knew what talent do, I have?

“Miss Bennet, you can’t talk to me like that or do you want a second round with the headmaster in his office?”

“You can try to tell him, but I think he will agree with me on that you should give a chance for everyone not only for your pupils,” I smirk at her because what other I could do? She got under my skin and I will not stand and let her push me like that. We stared at each other for a couple seconds and then Zac was the person who broke the silence.

“She is right, Sophia is not the only one with talent in this school. We should give others the chance. Right, my love?” He winks at me and wraps his arm around my waist. Liam is now shooting daggers at us. Is he jealous? Or maybe he is just mad that his fiancé’s show was stolen? Probably the second.

“If the whole class agreed already then fine, Miss Bennet is welcome to show her talent.” She is not happy with it, but I suppose that Zac’s statement put her in line.

After the lesson, I walk to the locker room and went straight for the shower. We never had showers in my previous school, but I will try them, why not? I hang my clothes on the hanger and stepped into hot water. I don’t know how many minutes I spend there, but loud giggling ripped me from my thoughts.

“Hello?” I ask but no one responded. I step out of the shower and realise that my clothes are gone. Brilliant, what a bunch of stupid kids. I am not bothered that I will need to sit here as long as someone will bring them back, because I will just walk out without a shame and collect what is mine. I was never ashamed of my body, so these stupid pricks will not get what they want.

I tiptoe to my locker but there is nothing there as well. The only thing good is that I didn’t take off my panties because I didn’t like the idea of taking them off in this school. The showers apparently make me fear.

“You will tell the teacher that you will not take a part in the competition.” That voice again. I turn around and stand face to face with Liam.

“What are you doing here? This is the girls’ changing room.”

“You will resign from the competition. You are not good enough.”

“And how could you know that? Are you here because your little fiancé feels scared that she will not win this year?” My voice become seductive; I step closer to him without a shame. He looks at me with disgust in his eyes.

“You are disgusting. Put some clothes on yourself you slut.” I slap him after this statement. How could he call me a slut?

“Listen, your little fiancé’s minions took my clothes to humiliate me. If you don’t like my body, don’t look at me. I don’t know why you came here, if you think that calling me disgusting will make me cry, you are wrong. I know my pride. I will not bow to you; I will participate in a competition just to make you angry. Now leave!” I didn’t mean to shout at him. This guy is just so annoying and making me lose control over myself. He can see how he is making me feel and he is proud of himself. He smirks at me.

“Aw, our little badass is mad. What a shame. What will you do to me? Are you really that stupid that I will let you destroy everything I was building all those years? A little advice for you, tell your father to pack his bags and leave, because I will make his little princess’ life a living hell.” I cover my breasts and move to the door. He looks shocked. Did he really think that I will listen to him and stand here like a lost puppy? I open the door and with a proud step move to the boys changing room. I hope that someone is still there. As soon as I open the door, the whistling became. Ever boy turns to look at my naked body. I just smile at them and search for Zac. I spot him turned away from me.

“Hello Zac, do you have a sec?” I shout.

“Isn’t that my beautifu…” He didn’t have a chance to finish his sentence because he looked at me. His jaw drops. He eyed me from toes to the top with a little longer look on my covered breasts. A huge smile appears on his face. He quickly glances behind my back and I know that Liam is standing behind me. A sudden shove turns me around.

“What the fuck you think you’re doing?” Liam asks.

“You didn’t think that I will stay in this locker? I came here to ask Zac for help, now leave me alone and don’t touch me.” Abruptly, I threw his arm off my shoulder which caused my breasts to be exposed. A room erupts in shouting and whistles. That was a mistake. I am alone, half- naked in boys’ changing room. Who knows what they will do to me and I have no one to help me.

“Leave her alone bro, what the fuck is wrong with you?” Zac hugs me and covers me with his strong body. He takes off his t-shirt and gives it to me. I quickly wear it and look at him.

“Could you please help me to find my keys? All my clothes disappeared from the locker room and I need to go home to change,” I ask.

“Sure, thing beautiful. Let’s wait here for the bell to ring and
