THESEUS DRIX MONCIER

CLOE's POV

I've been here in the Philippines for a couple of days already and yet, I haven't contacted any of my friends. Why? Nothing much. It's just that, I am not yet ready to answer all of their questions. I need to prepare my ears for those. For sure, a day won't be enough for those crazy little chicks. I looked at the photo frame above my side table. A picture of us four, with a much unexpected photo boomer, I mean bummer.

They say, "Love can bring you back to the same place, to the same moment, with the same person." Well I guess I've been living with that kind of saying pretty well. Because ever since we bumped into each other, like literally, almost all of the negatives things had happened. Almost all of the worst things that anyone could ever think of, in just a span of a year, happened. And I don't want those things to happen again. Ever!

When did it started? The very first day I entered the university.

*Flashback*

I'm soooooo hungry!!! I've been running in circles around this cheesecake university since forever and yet, I could still not found where the cafeteria is! And where the fudge did I came from? Oh dear! I think I'm lost! T.T

Hmmm. Let's see. Who may we ask for help? *searching..* *searching..* *searching..* There! Spotted! There are three mean-looking girls seating on a bench a couple of meters away from me at 2 o'clock. I just hope that they are not that mean.

"Okay Cloe! Approach them! You can do this! For the sake of our grumbling stomach!", I said to myself and approached them.

"Uhm.. Hi!" I smiled awkwardly.

The girl on the left side looked up to me first. She's wearing reading glasses. She looked nerdy but actually cool. It suits her.

"Yes?" The girl on the right with a fierce yet angelic face said.

"Hey! I've been watching you for about 15 minutes already and it seems like you were walking around with no accurate direction. Are you kind of lost? You're a new face here, right?" Said the girl at the center. Her face is so intimidating but her voice is so angelic.

"I, uhh, yeah. I am new here. I am lost. And very hungry. May you please tell me where the cafeteria is?" That's it! Swallow up your pride Cloe! Don't be shy! You're really hungry so chin up! "And if I'm not going to disturb you that much, may you please accompany me there? My sense of direction is a bit off and I might get lost again. Pretty please?" Then I gave them my sweetest smile. (Come on Cloe! Remember! You're hungry! Smile sweeter!)

"I like her." The nerdy cool girl suddenly said.

I was like, "uhh what?" Actually even the other girls were confused. She just said that out of the blue. Her voice sent shivers all over my body when she said those three words but you can feel the sincerity and authority through it. It was like every word that comes out of her little mouth costs a couple of million dollar gold.

"You sure Alth? We don't even know her name. Or where she came from." The girl who intimidated me for the very first time said.

"Khazi, I don't need to know somebody's name or origin for me to like them. Their eyes and body language are enough." Alth, the nerdy cool girl, said. And then she stood up and looked at me, offering her right hand. "I'm Altheus Moncier by the way. This girl *pointing to the girl at the right side who intimidated me* is Khaziel Martinez. And this girl *pointing to the girl at the center who has an angelic voice* is Bettina Davis." I accepted her hand and shook it. Same with the other girls.

"I'm Cloe Flores. Nice to meet you three."

"Nice to meet you, too. Welcome to the group!" Bettina cheerfully said then hugged me.

"Well I guess I couldn't agree less. She's pretty beautiful and gorgeous. Welcome to the group!" Khazi said and hugged me as well.

"Thanks, but if you don't mind me asking, what group are you two talking about?" I confusedly asked.

"Don't mind these two. They are just being their crazy self again. They haven't took their medicine yet that's why they're saying crazy stuffs again." Alth said.

"Oooookkaaaaayy?" I confusedly said.

"Now, if you really are hungry, come with us. We'll be heading to the cafeteria." She added then walked away.

I just nodded and followed her. The other two girls, Bettina and Khaziel, are at my both sides clinging on my arms as we walk through the corridors.

---HALLWAY---

"Girl look! The Goddesses are with someone. Does it mean that they are complete already?"

"I don't know! We are together, remember? How will I know?"

"Another b*tch girls. Watch out!"

"That newbie doesn't fit to join them. I'm much gorgeous than her. Duh?!"

"Hey man! There's a freshie here!"

"That's a 10 dude! Or even a hundred!"

"You're right man! All-in!"

"Tsk!"

And the blabbing goes on and on and on.

Those are just some of the things that I've heard all the way to the cafeteria. I can't even hear them clearly because they are all whispering. I didn't mind them though. I really wanted to eat already! I am soooooo hungry! T.T

---CAFETERIA---

We are now sitting on their so called "Thrones" here in the cafeteria. They can't decide what to eat yet. And because I am super hungry already, I excused myself and about to go straight to the counter when I suddenly bumped into something. Someone to be specific and spilled everything on his tray to his shirt. To his white shirt. Yes everyone. He's a HE.

"OOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!"

"She's dead!"

"Really dead!"

"Oh man! She's such a waste. So clumsy."

"Yeah. She's being careless. That's TD she bumped with. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Poor little girl."

"Ohh… Myy.. Gosh. I'm so sorry! It was all my fault! I didn't mean to! I'm sorry! Sorry! Sorry!" I said panicking while wiping his white shirt with my white hanky.

"Stop doing that! It'll just smudge the stain!" He shouted and get the hanky from me aggressively. "Do you think your sorry will take away these stains? Can it wash my shirt clean?"

"Drix! Stop shouting at her! She's a girl! She's new here. Show some respect. And besides, she already said sorry. Can you at least just accept it and go change?" Alth said standing in front of me, hiding me from that guy named Drix.

"I don't care if she's a girl. And I don't even care if she's new here! As long as her sorry could make me neat, then I'll accept it!" Drix angrily said.

"That's impossible!" Alth said it like she saw a unicorn fly.

"Then same with me! I. WILL. NEVER. ACCEPT. HER. APOLOGY." He said, moved forward, and then bumped Alth's shoulder. He stopped in front of me and said, "THESEUS DRIX MONCIER. Remember that name and this face. No one messed up with me and got away with it." After he said that, he pushed me hard enough for me to fall on the ground.

I suddenly got nervous while looking on his way out of the cafeteria. It feels like there will be so many things that will happen to me in this university. I just hope that it will all be good.

-------

I got out of my reverie when I heard someone knocking at my door. It was our maid telling me that I have visitors waiting for me down stairs. Hmmm. I wonder who they are. Might be my cousins. I'll just go check it first.

When I arrived at our living room, I saw three pairs of glaring pretty little eyes. Glaring at me specifically. Oh dear! This is what I'm talking about. I just hope I could get out of here alive. Wish me luck!
