Chapter 1

CHAPTER 1

I AM currently walking down the hallway to the classroom I will be attending.

There are ten more minutes before class starts if we are going to have a class. Because today is the second day of school. Yes, the second day of school today, but it seems like the first day for me because I did not go yesterday.

I am a transfer student here at Collins High. A school for those who can afford a high amount of money for tuition fees.

Why am I transferring here? I also don't know because my dad just told me that I will transfer here to Collins High.

It's okay with me because I don't have anything left in my old school. After all, I don't have any friends.

Grades 11 - 1 Section

Sir Diego C. Alvarez

I read on the side door of a classroom where I'm going to attend my class for the whole year. Doors and windows with white curtains are closed because all classrooms are air-conditioned.

I knocked three times and then slowly opened the door doorknob.

Everyone's attention immediately shifted to me. Because maybe they didn't see me yesterday because I was absent.

There were already a lot of people inside and it was weird because they stopped to look at me.

"Hey miss, close the door, will you? You're wasting the aircon" a woman said with a smirk

Eh?

I quickly closed the door and walked to the far end of the room.

I sat in the second row at the end next to the window. In this position, I often sit, even In my former school because this place is not very noticeable and I can also notice the behavior of everyone, except behind me. I don’t want to sit in the farthest row because it loses focus in class, for me.

Soon after, Sir Alvarez arrived. Sir looks young, maybe at 23-25. I also notice the poor screaming of women here. It is not surprising that they are thrilled with Sir because he is handsome.

"Good morning students, I am Sir Diego C. Alvarez again, your advisor" introduced Sir

We also greeted him with a good morning with a matching standing ovation.

No wonder why Sir said so little because today is the second day and the usual first day has a lot of explanations.

"So let's start our attendance, say present if you're here" Sir explained and also called our names

I no longer understood the names of my classmates because I could forget the names so I just waited to be called.

"Nones, Maica D."

"Collis, Charlene F."

"Martin, Aizelle S." It's me

"Present," I said so everyone's attention came to me

What do I do with them?

"Miss Martin, you are the transfer student, right?" Sir asked

"Yes," I said and smiled slightly

That was all and Sir continued calling the name.

If you are wondering why I am a transfer student even though I am in grade 11, I mean I'm already in senior high school and usually, after grade 10, you're going to change your school, right? Well here in Collins High, there are 2 different schools for high school, the Junior and the Senior so yeah.

It looks like two schools because the cafeteria, library, auditorium, clinic, covered court, field, and so on are different. Those of us and them are different. So he looks like two schools but only one owner.

"Hi!" I turned to the person who spoke and I was shocked to see him next to me

I didn't have any seatmates earlier, right?

"Ahm..h-hello" I greeted her awkwardly

Of course, even you will be surprised when someone suddenly speaks and she's next to you while smiling looking at you. Now that's awkward.

"I'm Haidee Chen" he introduced while reaching out to me

"A-aizelle Martin," I said and shook hands with Haidee

"By the way, were you absent yesterday? I haven't seen you yesterday" Haidee asked

"Ahh yeah, something came up that's why I didn't go to school yesterday" I explained to her

We even talked even if the teacher is on the front. When I told her earlier that there was a teacher, she answered me with 'leave them alone, that teacher is also chatting.'

I don't know if I'm going to laugh or what. Because when I was in my old school even though the teacher in front of me was talking meaningless or drowsy, I still listened.

*KRINGGGGG~

The bell rang so our teacher said goodbye because it was lunch break.

"Let's eat outside!" Haidee said excitedly to me

We were able to ease each other's hearts in a short time. And it's funny because just the first day I went to school I immediately had a friend.

"But isn't there a class later?" I asked her

Honestly, we didn't have a lesson but our teachers only got to know us so we were able to chat earlier.

"Let's ditch then" she promised with a smile

My jaw just dropped at his suggestion. Like seriously, ditch? I have never done that because I am very concerned about my performance at school.

"Ahm I think we should not do that," I told her while shaking my head

"Don't worry about those teachers and their storytelling, their biography is not included in the exam so let's go!" he explained as we both took the bag and dragged me

No matter how much I stopped and tried to stop him from doing what he intended to do, he did not let go.

"There's a weekend, we can go for a walk" I urged

"Just chill Aizelle you will not fail to be absent from class," she said laughing at me as she dragged me to where

Students are also looking at us for reasons I do not know. Is that really what attracts us to our attention? Well, it's not obvious we're pulling but if they look, it's okay.

I just noticed that we were coming out of the gate and I noticed that there was a guard there.

"Haidee look, there is a guard so he might scold us and then we will go to the guidance office immediately," I said to her a bit confused.

Oh no! I have never been to the guidance office because I am not a bad student.

"That's not it," she said and continued

"Hello brother!" she greeted his guard with matching waves

SHE GREETED HIM?!

I'm sure mommy will scold me when she found out that I've been in the guidance office because on the second day of school we ditched my class right away—

"Good day ma'am" the guard greeted Haidee

WHAT ?!

My jaw almost dropped to the ground and my eyes widened to an enormous size, covering my whole face when I looked at Haidee she was just smiling at me.

"Told ya!" she said before taking a taxi and I was like a piece of paper that was loaded before she entered and sat next to me in the backseat

Haidee and I are here today at a restaurant. She said we ate first so we had the energy to tour later.

I didn't do anything before to stop her but I was still nervous because mommy might scold me when she found out that I ditched my class.

While we were eating I remembered to ask her something so I stopped eating first.

"By the way, why didn't the older guard pick us up earlier when we went to school?" I asked her

Because as far as I know, it is strictly forbidden for a student to go out during school hours because something might happen to the child, that is the school's burden of conscience.

"I think I'm beautiful" he explained with a laugh

I just frowned at his answer. I mean, she's really beautiful but I don't think that's possible, right? Where have you seen a school like that? That you will be released just because you are beautiful?

I just didn't answer her and just continued to eat.
