Chapter 4 - First Day of School

Rochelle's POV

~ring!~ring!~

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. I sat on my bed and scratched my head. Arghh, I'm wanna sleep some more. I lacked sleep because of that Alex! If he had told me that today's the first day then I wouldn't have hanged out with Yza until 9 in the evening. He's such a dumbass. I stretched my arms and got out of my bed. I need to get ready for school. I headed to the bathroom to do my morning routines.

After taking a bath, I walked into my closet. My dear brother told me that he has already taken care of my uniform. My eyes wandered as I searched for it in my closet. I raised an eyebrow when I saw what it looked like. I bet would look good on me. I immediately tried it on and faced the mirror. I grinned when it fits me perfectly, in terms of size and style. Oh God! I'm so gorgeous!

The top part of the uniform has a white blouse which is under a long sleeve black blazer. The logo is printed on the left side of my chest. The blazer also has two small pockets found at the left and right side of the bottom part of the blazer. The skirt's length ends about five to six inches above my knees. It's colored maroon which is striped with black and white that serves as its pattern. My neck tie is also in that specific pattern. My socks are very long, my gosh, it reached to my knees. It's color black and has two white stripes at the top part of it That's how my uniform looks like, I'll just leave it to your imagination.

I ran down stairs when I got ready. I headed to the dining room and saw my brother eating pancakes.

"Good morning piggy." He greeted when he saw me.

"What's good in the morning when you ruined it?"

I opened the fridge and grabbed some strawberries. I was about to close it when I remember something. I opened the fridge once again and grabbed something. Oops! Almost forgot the whipped cream!

I made a five-stack pancake and showered a lot of whipped cream on top of it. Then, I placed some strawberries for decoration. And Voila! My breakfast is done! My mouth watered just by staring at it. I started to eat and enjoyed my lovely breakfast. I swear, my taste buds are freakin' celebrating right now.

"Hey pig, take it easy. Taking an enormous bite like that can clog your esophagus." Alex teased.

"Wow ah, coming from you who has already ate 15 pancakes." I murmured and rolled my eyes.

"Ha?"

"Nothing. I said I'm already finished eating BIG BRO. I'm all set for school." I said, emphasizing that word and stood up.

I placed my plates at the sink before leaving the dining room. I grabbed my brother's keys and headed straight to our garage. Did I mention that Alex is my new private driver? He's going to bring and fetch me to school every day. I pressed the button on the little remote and the car's lights flashed. I started the car, of course. I need air conditioner or else I'm gonna suffocate inside the car. Duh? Common sense. I sat at the back seat and chilled. I was about to chillax when there's suddenly an uneasy feeling building inside of me. Wait..... I feel like something's missing...

My bag!

I think I left it at my room! I got out of the car and ran back to our house. On my way to my room, I crossed paths with Alex who's walking in the living room.

"Oh? Why did you return? I thought you're all set for school?" He asked while hanging his backpack in his right shoulder.

I just passed right through him, not bothering to stop. Instead, I just shouted my response. "I forgot my bag!"

I ran upstairs and I almost tripped! That was close. Good thing I'm pretty. I entered my room and saw my beloved bag chilling in my vanity table. I immediately grabbed it. Argh! Now I need to head downstairs again. I felt like I did a work out on my first day of school.

***

We arrived at school. He parked the car on the parking lot located at the back side of the campus. I was amazed that the school has its own parking lot. Yza, you had it big time! You really have to treat me next time. I got out of the car and took a look at the mirror first. I don't wanna look haggard on my first day! I opened my bag and searched for my powder.

"Xandra, I'm heading first. Just find the bulletin board somewhere on campus grounds and check your section." He said.

I nodded in response as I applied powder in my face. I heard him sigh and walked away. I distributed the powder on my face using my palms while looking at the side mirror. And voila! I grinned and winked at my own reflection. Now I look presentable!

I composed my self before walking to the school. Did I mention that me and Alex are taking Business Management? I think not, that's why I'm telling you this.

I noticed that there's a line in the school gates. What the hell is going on? I waited in line and took a peek. Oh, the guard is checking our school IDs. I almost forgot the golden rule! No ID, no Entry. I was doing fine when something hit me. Wait, I don't have an ID yet, shit! I panicked. I fanned my face using my hand then I realized something. I'm a transferee, so it's understandable right? I'll just use my charms to get through this. My charisma has never disappointed me before. It's now my turn. I gulped as I stepped forward. The guard glanced at me and he kinda looked shocked when he saw my face? He smiled and gestured his hands, welcoming me to enter. I tried to smile back at him but I'm sure I made and awkward smile.

I told you my charisma never disappoints me.

I entered school campus and I was amazed by the number of students scattered around the school grounds. This university sure has a lot of students. I already know where the bulletin board is since it's SO BIG. As in, it's enormous. I think it's about as tall as a one story building. The sections are posted there and you can really see your name. I mean the font's big too! There are also a bunch of students gathered there.

"Excuse me.... Excuse...." I tried to squeeze myself into the crowd as I try to get a closer look of the bulletin board.

"Ouch." I muttered when the people kept budging against me.

I looked at the board with narrow eyes. Hmmm, Park..... Park.... Where the hell is Park....... Oof! Why are you looking at first year sections you dumbass! I internally cursed at my self. I sighed and started looking at the second year sections. There you are! I immediately saw my name. My eyes sparkled when I saw my section.

Class 2-A

Mwahaha! I'm a part of the top section as always. I wonder what section my brother belongs to? I glanced at the third year sections and was about to search for his name when I heard high pitched screams.

"Russel babes! Be mine!!"

"OMG! Where is my Baby Chris?!"

"KYAHHH! My baby Alex is so handsome as always!"

"Baby James! I'm all yours!"

"WAHHH! Cedrick babes!"

"OMG! The Campus Princes are finally here!"

I covered my ears because I think I'm gonna go deaf. Sheesh, these girls. Being curious, I stood on my toes and tried to find the reason of the commotion. I saw my brother along with his friends or something. They're being surrounded by girls. I suddenly cringed when I remember something.

I swear I really heard someone screamed Russel babes and Baby Alex! And what the hell? Campus Princes? What the freak is that? My ugly brother is a part of it? That face? A prince?! WTF!

I just decided to head to our homeroom since I don't wanna go deaf by the squeals of these girls. Sheesh! I really had a hard time getting out of the crowd. Thankfully, I got out alive. I easily found my homeroom since every year has its own buildings and every room has signs beside their doors. I entered the room. My eyes widened when I saw a particular person. My mouth formed an 'o' and pointed at her. Looks like she saw me and her jaw dropped too. She stood up and ran towards my direction.

"Omo! Elle! Is that you?" Yza squealed. " Oh my God! We're classmates!"

She ran and hugged me. We almost fell but good thing I maintained my balance. I hugged her too and we jumped like crazy people. We stopped hugging each other and composed ourselves.

"Yeah! I can't believe we're classmates. I just assumed you were in section D or something." I teased and chuckled.

"What a meanie." She pouted.

"Don't pout! You kinda look like 'my precious' from The Lord of the Rings." I teased once again.

"Hmp! You're so bad!" She crossed her arms and rolled her eyes at me. I snickered at her cute gesture.

I was about to tease her again when I felt a sense of urgency. My face became serious and Yza noticed it too. She looked at me, confused.

"What's the matter?" She curiously asked.

"I need to go to the comfort room. Bye!"

I went outside of our room and walked in the hallways. I left our building and I think I started to get lost. I read the campus map earlier! Where's rhe CR? I'm so forgetful gosh! Is it right??? Or it is to the left?? I was clouded with thoughts while walking so I didn't looked at where I was going.

~BLAGG!~

I bumped into someone, really hard. I found myself sitting at the floor because of the impact. Ouch, my butt hurts.

"What the fuck?!" The boy blurted, sounding mad.

"Sorry!" I apologized. I stood up and brushed the dust off my skirt.

"Sorry?! A fucking sorry is not enough for what you've done."

I raised my head and looked directly at him. Our eyes met and he was really mad. I mean, he's overreacting! He cursed like the world's gonna end. My sorry is not enough? I got annoyed by his attitude.

"Yah! I just freakin' bumped at you unintentionally! You're so exaggerated!" I shouted back at him

"What did you say?" His eyes darkened as he faced me. But I didn't budge. I raised my head high along with my eyebrows. He gave me a death glare.

"Do you know who I am?" He asked in a low voice.

Shit! I got goosebumps! No! Compose yourself Rochelle. Fight back!

"I don't know you and I don't freakin' care!"

"What? You don't care? You just wasted my time and your fucking sorry can't do shit about it!" He shouted.

Geez, this boy. Is he on his period? I just clicked my tongue, refusing to respond to him. I turned my back and started to walk away.

"Don't you fucking turn your back at me!" He shouted from behind.

I halted before turning around to face him. My lips formed a sly smirk.

"I just did."

I turned around once again and started to walk away. I can feel the student's eyes on me, most of them were glares. Well, I'm sorry but I don't give a shit. Some of them even whispered phrases at each other.

"What the fudge?! Is she serious?"

"OMG! She's so cool!"

"Ugh! Who the hell is she? How dare she do that to our campus prince?"

Why whisper if I could hear them anyway? I sighed. These people, really sheesh.

I reached the comfort room, FINALLY! I went through fuss just to get here. I entered a cubicle and did my business. When I went outside, I saw a pretty girl leaning on the comfort room walls. She grinned when she saw me.

"Hi!" She waved her hand.

"Uhmm, hello?" I tried to reply nicely but I turned out awkward again, shit.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Arriane Mhay Kim." She reached out her hand.

"Hmm, pleased to meet you. My name's Rochelle Alexandra Park. So, friends?" I smiled and we shook hands.

"Sure!" She smiled. Finally! Someone who's normal and doesn't hold a grudge against me. I finally made a friend, yippee!

"Just to inform you, I kinda already know your name." She chuckled. My forehead creased, curious why. "You just talked back to a Campus Prince. You sure made a name for yourself on our first day."

"Oh God, tell me about it. It's not like I wanted this to happen. He's just so aggressive. I just happen to bump into him, unintentionally and he suddenly blew a fuse." I rolled my eyes.

We walked out of the comfort room. We chatted a bit more while walking in the hallways. I kept complaining about that guy's attitude. I could imagine my frustrated face right now. Frustrated yet pretty. Arriane just laughed at my complains.

"He's just like that. What would you expect from a certified bad boy?" She stated.

"Yeah, I kinda expected that. By the way, where's your room? I'm heading this way." I asked when we reached the end of the hallway as I pointed to the right.

"2-A."

"Really? So were classmates then!"

We walked in the same direction as we headed to our homeroom. We were about to enter when I noticed that the professor is already inside. I gulped nervously when the professor's cold eyes glanced at us. His face expression suddenly changed and smiled.

"Ladies, just in time. We just finished introducing ourselves. It's now your turn." The professor said politely.

Phew, I thought we were dead meat. Thank God I'm pretty.

We entered the homeroom and stood in front of the class. Arriane stepped forward before introducing herself.

"Hi! My name's Arriane Mhay Kim, 19 years old. That's all." She shortly introduced herself.

"Okay Ms. Kim, you may sit beside Mr. Perez." She pointed at the seat where she assigned Arriane.

I glanced at Mr. Perez and noticed that he was familiar. I realized that he was one of the campus princes. I saw him with my brother earlier surrounded by squealing pigs.

I stepped forward and took a deep breath before introducing myself. "Good morning. My name's Rochelle Alexandra Park, you can call me Rochelle. I'm 19 years old and I transferred from a university at Korea."

"Uhmmm, Ms. Park. Do you perhaps have a relationship with Mr. Park over there?" She asked and pointed at the back side of the room.

I glanced at where she was pointing at and I was shocked. My dear brother was sitting at the backside of the classroom! Why is he here?! Isn't he supposed to be in his third year? I narrowed my eyes as I stared at him.

"Yes, he is my brother." I replied while not taking off my stare at Alex. For some reason, he can't meet my stares as he kept avoiding his gaze while tapping his fingers on the armchair. I call guilty!

"Oh, really?" The professor sounded amused. "Then Ms. Park, you may sit beside Mr. Hyun over there."

I was confused when she pointed at an empty seat beside another empty one with Mr. Hyun nowhere to be found. Well, I guess he's absent. He sure does have the nerves to not attend his first day. I just shrugged and headed to my seat. It was ar the back side of the room and it was next beside a window. Sweet! I'm like a protagonist of a story or something! I took my seat and composed myself. I glanced at the window and saw a beautiful scenery of the campus. I think I'm gonna enjoy this sitting arrangement.

"Is Mr. Hyun absent? Again?" My attention was taken by the professor. She spoke in an 'I knew it' manner and sighed.

"Obviously, he is."

The whole class laughed at my brother's response. He was trying to sound cool and yet he did. The professor clicked her tongue and rolled her eyes. Well, I couldn't blame my brother though. He was just stating facts.
