NIGHT'S POV:
Demorris University is the best choice among all the schools in town, it is known here in our place and not only here but worldwide. It is the most prestigious school among all the schools you can find here in the Philippines but not everyone can enter. You can just enter if you pass the entrance exam and I am telling you, it was hellacious. Damn, your mind might explode because of the difficulty but of course, it will be worth it if you pass.
The training, the teachers and lessons were so advanced and somehow difficult but later on, you will realize that you needed those things to survive and became on top with success in your hands.
Many students had became the product of this school and all of them became well-known in various fields. But mostly, those people were came from the Special Section which only chosens can enter.
"Class, next day will be your second grading examination. Better do will on it so that you can enter the Special Intellect class." I heard our teacher said. I shake my head while listening to my classmates.
I roam my eyes around and notice their own reactions but mostly excited and want to get ready for it. Here at Demorris University, that section is well-known because many are dreaming of getting into that section.
"Sir, is it really hard?" I heard one of my female classmate asked this to our teacher.
"Yes, but of course. Many advantages will give you if you become one of the special intellect. So, study hard and have faith. Good luck to all of you." He answered and smiled at us.
No one knows what they teach in that class but many are interested since there are many advantages when you become one of them. Just like free dorm, free food in the canteen, advanced teaching and they will give enough attention to whatever talent you have. You can also skip your regular classes, since Special Intellect class has different lessons and subject. If you are also a graduate and you are a member there, you can easily find a job because it is already planned once you enter this section.
Many are interested but many are not since they thought that may not be they will not be able to cope. Well, I'm one of the students who don't have any interest on that as well as my friends because I am already lazy to study my regular lessons and then I will not add more to it. But if you get in, there's no turning back anymore, you will not be able to back out or drop out from that section.
As you can see, I have no friends in the section I am in right now for a simple reason, I don't want to trust.
This school may be prestigious and good in people's eye but there's more secret to it. Some students here were members of mafias, assasins and many dangerous people. Mostly they are a son or a daughter of the leaders or even members of any organization and I do not want to include myself to their lives because I do not trust anybody except my friends.
I've been listening to our teacher while he was teaching in front, I looked down at my desk and saw the notes that I had wrote since earlier. I pouted, I was sleepy but I needed to listen and take down notes because my scholarship would be at stake if I didn't study well. Life is really cruel for me.
It was past ten o'clock when I got home last night because many people went to the restaurant I am working in. I have been working on that place for two years now and I am not ashamed of it though it was just a simple job of being a waiter.
It was a good restaurant, after all. Their dishes were so delicious and mouth watering. The thing is, it was so tiring and deadly because so many people likes it.
Every weekend I work in a cafe as a cashier in the morning and also become a cashier again in a convenient store at night. That's how I survive my life everyday.
I shake my head and stood up when I heard the bell rang, a sign that it was a time to eat. I quickly put my belongings in my bag, I also put it on my shoulder and I got out from our room.
"Night!" Someone called my name when I step my feet outside. I immediately looked up to the source of the voice and saw my two friends.
I smiled at them. "Where are the others?" I asked the two of them.
"P'Air and P'Ocean are in the canteen. P'Sun and P'Arrow will be out soon. As a good student, they must really pay attention to their discussion. I really don't know why you four became my best friends." Light answered me and he eventually sulk at the end.
Light wasn't the type of a student who will going to listen on any lessons, he was more on sleeping or playing games on his phone. He is good at hiding that's why, it is an advantage for him.
Here in our school there are various departments. The Engineering department, the Economics department, the Architecture department, the Arts faculty, the medicine department, the business administration department and many more. This school was huge, I know.
Light was in the Architecture department since he was good in drawing and Math. The thing is, it is not really obvious.
P'Ocean has been in the department of Medicine since his family owns many hospitals around the globe.
P'Air has been in the department of Business Administration since his family is wealthy and he is an only heir of their company.
P'Sun is pursuing Pyschology. I don't exactly know why but he was quiet an observant. His hobbies include reading body language, reactions and even people's personality, maybe that's why. He was the most friendly and he always wore a smile to other people.
P'Arrow is in the Mass communication department. It was a great miracle that people were able to endure him there. He was so quite and he is not used to talk except on us. After all, they also own a telecommunication company.
I furrowed my eyebrows. "You are texting them during class hours, don't you?" I asked while frowning.
He awkwardly smiled and shrugged. "Yes." He answered hesitantly. Fighter just shake his head and stopped himself from laughing at Light's reaction. "Don't worry, the teacher didn't saw me." He added while I shake my head as well.
Fighter was in Computer Science Department. He was good with computers and numbers. He take up this course because he likes gadgets and also, he was good in Artificial intelligence program. Most importantly, his family owns many computer security companies all around the world. They are quiet rich just like P'Arrow, P'Ocean and P'Air. P'Sun and Light were rich too but the three of them is richer.
While me, I was taking up a Law-business Administration program. Is it hard? Yes, super but I can handle it.
"You don't really have any chance, Light." Fighter smirked while mocking him and then he told me to leave.
They were all my best friends since we were kids even though, P'Air, P'Ocean, P'Arrow and P'Sun were born first. So, after we graduated in Senior High School, we immediately decided to study here.
P'Sun transferred here because we are here. We do not want
P'Air, P'Ocean and P'Arrow to transfer also but they insisted since they want to protect us.
I told them that they don't need to do that since P'Arrow was already in the Second year, P'Sun was in Third year while both P'Ocean and P'Air were in the Fourth year. But they were all so stubborn that they still joined us here.
"What do you want to eat later when we get there?" Fighter asked suddenly as we were on our way to the Canteen.
I thought for a moment. "I want pizza, orange juice and leche Flan." I answered him as I look at the direction of Light.
"Hamburger, fries and mango juice are just fine for me." He answered and Fighter just nodded on it. I looked around until I saw the tarpaulins that were hang in the hallway and then I stopped in my tracks and looked at it.
"Why did you stop, Night?" I heard Light asked. I pointed to the tarpaulin which became the reason why they look at it as well. "They are really populars, aren't they?" He asked while I just simply nodded in agreement.
These tarpaulins have the faces of the six men who are leading their class. They are the pride of their own departments.
In the first tarpaulin, the face of Ethereal Equinox Zander were on it, he was the top one in his class. He was in the business Administration department and he was so popular all over the campus even though he was so arrogant, snob and cold. Sometimes we become classmates in other subjects since I am also taking Business Administration.
The next one was Maevel Raydarel Wahlberg, he was in Computer Science too just like Fighter and they were always competing for the place of being the top one. Fighter doesn't want to be on the tarpaulin so he doesn't have any face here. If Fighter was a cold one, Maevel was the opposite, he was a playful and friendly one. He is also popular because of it.
Soirée Thexton Rawlins is a second year in the department of Business Administration. He is the goofy type of guy and loves to roam around the campus. He is well-known because of his academic achievements and being the top honor of their year.
Worthington Vega Marshman was a popular one too. He is a third year student. He may be the only popular who doesn't like attention but because of his surname, he needs to participate. He was the top one of his batch in Mass Communication department.
Next one is Lindsell Akhurst Ambridge, a third year college too. An almost perfect student in the department of Medicine. Everybody called him 'the prodigy' since he can do anything and everything even though he will just look at it for a minute. Yes, he has a high IQ.
The last one was Cadwell Turello Hadfield, a fourth year student in the department of Psychology. He was the top one of their batch. He wasn't the talkative type of a person. He was always quiet while reading so many books in the library.
"Night, let's go." Fighter said. I just nodded and followed them. How did I know them? I may not be a social butterfly but I do know how to listen and observe around. I like to discover things especially when it comes to other people's personality.
Their lives aren't private anymore because all eyes were on them. Everyone knows them and if people will going to worship them, I think it is possible at all. I don't hate them because even though, they are at the top, they don't use it to belittle others but I'm not also one of their fans. I just simply admire them because of their achievements and not by their looks.
I just smiled. Even though my life is hard, I'm still happy. Let's just say that, I can survive even I am invisible.
