Chapter 2 ZFAC
"OK class, we have a new student here today with us, please listen carefully" announced the teacher
"Uh.. Hi everyone, I'm Melody Virtuoso 19 years old, Transferred from Greece." I smiled sheepishly while they started whispering nonsense into each others ears.
"Quite down class, I hope you all treat Melody with kindness and make her feel welcome, Melody you may sit down at the back."
I went to my seat and just ignored their looks of curiosity, I knew I would hate it here. As if it's their first time seeing a person. Is that really how cute I am? Joke. I was about to get my books ready for the lesson when I saw my seat mate looking at me. Wait? Zaidee? Oh MY G! We're classmates! I looked at the front of my desk and controlled my emotions. I could feel myself feeling hot with embarrassment and romantic excitement. So much for the start of day I guess.
"Hi Melody, didn't expect you to be my classmate." he laughed
"Ay yeah me too Zaidee, it's really shocking, sorry again for last time. I didn't mean to, you did pass your projects on time right?" I asked him
"Of course, no worries about that at least I got to meet you, but if I did pass it late I would make you pay" he looked at me seriously
"Just kidding hahaha, you should see the look on your face. It's really ok."
I wanted to hit him in the head kung wala lang sana yung teacher.
"Hahaha very funny" I sarcastically said.
"Hahaha your so easily irritated, keep doing that and you'll start looking like an old lady. OK let's just listen to the teacher, your so noisy"
"Wow, so I'm now the noisy one huh." I whispered with frustration.

LUNCH
"Hey, Melody wanna eat lunch with me and my friends?" It was Zaidee
"Oh hi Zaidee, uhmm ah yeah sure I'll just wait for my big sister Crystal to come"
"OK, I'll wait with you, and call me Aid, Zaidee is too long" he smiled
"Melody! Baby let's eat~oh... You have a lunch buddy already?" she teasingly asked
"No ate and stop that look, this is Aid uhm he invited us for lunch with his friends."
"Hi Aid nice to meet you, OK sure why not, that'll be good for you, at least somehow you can stop being so anti social at some point"
"ATE!" I looked at her with a death glare
"Let's go, Melody and Crystal."
We went over to a table that was so long! I don't know if we're in a canteen or either a feast.
"Hey guys, this is Crystal and Melody their new, just came in from Greece. I invited them over for lunch is that ok?"
"Sure why not. Welcome Crystal and Melody." a happy looking girl said.
We sat down with everyone else and ate our lunch and we chatted for a very very long time.
"Oh Crystal and Melody, I'll introduce you one by one with everyone."
"Our leader and head of this school is Aaron Fevlython Acuestro and Keises Wilson Tuwadera Acuestro, they are the son and daughter of the owner of this school. Oh and Kei just got her middle name from her grandpa and grandma that's why they have different middle initials. " Aid explained, next he pointed to two couples at the end of the table
" Those two are our love birds, Khervy Montefalco and Hestia, the others are, Zeki Trevino Fevlython, Kaeshia Lucxirous Fevlython, Cass Zynne Acuestro Fevlython, Alui Acuestro Fevlython mag pipinsan yan silang lahat ni Aaron and Kei, Cali Sudalaga, Yvette Salcedo, Samantha Ryhme Smith, Katy Michell Sanchez Smith and Ria Blair Nicastro ang jowa ni Aaron. We're a lot aren't we? " laughed Aid
" And your names are preety long" my big sis said astonishily.
"It's a good thing that our names are short ate or we might have troubles writing them when we were in kinder Hahaha" I laughed back
RING RING RING
"Oh, looks like the start of class again, it was nice meeting everyone of you. I'll see you tomorrow, and baby Melody don't go outside school OK? I know your classes starts at 2pm so you better behave." Ate Crystal said with authority.
Ate knows Im not the type who roams around everywhere, I'd still rather stay at the library.
" Ate, you know I don't like roaming around places right? Anyways I'll get myself used to the inside first rather then the outside. So Don't worry OK?" I assured her
She left for her classes and only a few people were left here sa canteen I decided to leave too when~
" Hey Melody, wanna come with us muna? We're going to the soccer field, and there's so many handsome boys there plus it's windy so we can relax. " Samantha said with excitement
"Uh sure why not."
We left the canteen and as we walked down the hall ways we looked like a mob of zombies since there was so many of us, joke. Anyways we arrived at the soccer field and it was very refreshing, there were a lot of college boys training and they looked very muscular in size and properly trained.
"OK TEAM! 10 MINS BREAK, THEN GET BACK TO WORK!" commanded their coach.
"OMG! The ColdHearts are here! !" exclaimed Kae.
"ColdHearts? Why? Who are they?" I asked
"Oh right you still don't know them, they are the Highest of all students here in the school and respecte except Aaron and Kei of course, they're still the head of everyone. But they are known for their cold hearts and player personality, they're charming ... But yeah players. They are Luke, Charles, Shen, Onyx and lastly Axel. But be careful the most mysterious of them all is Luke and Axel, they're cousins or twin I think dunno. " Kae explained
" You should talk about their victims Samantha, Katty, Cass and Harriet. But Harriet moved to a new college. Si Alex is the only one who doesn't as far as I know victimed anyone yet, mostly because he's an introvert and doesn't want to play in games like that, well I guess so. " Alui added in
"You know guys, Axel looks familiar ... I think I already saw him, he's so familiar...." I thought hard but I couldn't seem to recap where I saw him from.
We talked for the next few hours about random things, like the events in school, the extra curriculur activities you can take and many more. Especially their schedules and they even have dorms for students who live from so far and can't afford to keep going back and forth.The bell rang and we all went together sa mga sariling classrooms namin.

AXEL'S POV
Not a new day for me, its a good thing that its break time. I'm tired of hearing girls squealing all the time and fighting over us, they're like rats that's stuck between a wood that fell on them .
"Hey, Alex, looks like there's a new tranfery student here, their looking at you." Onyx pointed out.
"I don't care if there's a transferry, you know that." I retorted back.
"No listen, look at her carefully, doesn't she look like the girl you were in a relationship with sa Greece? For how long again? A year?"
I looked closer at her. She really does look like her. But it can't be, they have different features yet they wear the exact same smiles and laughter. Could it be her? No it can't be.
"Yeah she does look like her... But what do I care? I told you she's just a temporary bandage from my last break up and it worked."
"Yeah but remember, she was still the best girl you had. She handled you real good didn't she? Not until you had to switch places with Luke because of your surgery. " Shen butted in
"Come on guys we better head back, coach is going of his bonkers again." reminded Charles
We left and I took a last glance at her face. I just hope my gut feel is wrong, or else I might run from my life again.
---------------
MELODY'S POV.
Finally! The end of the first day, it wasn't bad after all, to be honest if I think about it, it's the first time I ever had such a large group of friends around me. Aghhh, but of course I won't admit that to ate, she's just gonna rub in the fact that's she's right and I ain't having that, but of course I mean this is only the start, we never know.
We came back home and we found no one at all, of course, of course what should we expect, mother and father is barely at home, especially now that the business is almost failing.
"Oh my babies are home, how was your first day of school ?" our maid Nanay Bella asked.
"It was fine nay, it was a busy but fun day" ate said happily. She looked glowing but I could see in her eyes she wasn't really honest with her answer.
"You look pale ate, are you ok?" I asked her.
"Uh... Yeah... I just.. Happen to cross paths with someone I didn't wish to see once more. But I'm fine baby, take a rest, I'm just gonna go upstairs OK?" she left without another word
I wonder what happened to her and who that person she crossed path with was? Oh well, I better get a start with the project or I might be left behind in class.
----------------
Next day:
" Hey, Melody, I don't think I'll be going to school today, I'm not feeling well." ate said out of nowhere
I touched her forehead and neck, she doesn't seem ill, she looks fine to me but she does seem a little pale.
"Ate, you seem fine to me and its only the second day of school, come one you don't want them saying that we're lazy students from Greece right? " I said back
"Hays, I just don't wanna go to school right now. Even just for this week at the very least." she looked paler then ever and I could sense she is trying to avoid something or someone
"Ate, what's up? Who really is the person you crossed path with yesterday and they seem to have such a big effect on you? Are you ok?"
"It's nothing Melody, just leave it."
"Then let's go, come one we're gonna be late for school and I need to pass my homework, today's the deadline for my homework." I dragged her along with me and brang some Efficasent Oil just in case we need it. She seems so pale and I don't want anything to happen to her.
We arrived at school, good thing we still had 10-15 minutes left before it starts.
"OK, take this with you ate so nothing won't happen to you, whoever that person was has really got you in this state. So take care, our Crystal is pale today and we can't have that now can we? " I gave her the Efficasent Oil and looked at her worriedly
"Than you Melody, don't worry I'll be fine... Hopefully..." she gave me a hug and a force smile and left, while I went to my classroom and sat down at my desk just in time for our professor to come in.
--------------
It's lunch time now, hays, I'm starving, with all the things we had to do and our teacher not letting us to have our recess who wouldn't be hungry?
I was halfway to the canteen when I heard a commotion, a lot of people were squealing and others cheering someone on, I decided to have a little peak when I saw ate getting pinned against the wall by a guy.
"It really is you Crystal. It's been so long we haven't seen each other."
"Stay away from me Axel I'm not interested after what happened in Greece."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."
"Yeah right as if that's true, so much for cheating on me with my friend."
I saw ate and Axel glaring into each others eyes, I knew I saw Axel somewhere before, and now I remember, he has a picture in Ate Crystal's phone but of course it's now gone.
I was about to call out her name when she suddenly pushed him and kicked his crotch all of a sudden.
"I warned you Axel, don't ever! EVER! Come near me again." Ate was furious and it was the first time I saw her that mad at anything or anyone before,ate is just a chill type of person really positive and stuff but is serious too, ambivert for short.
" Ate! " she looked at me with surprise in her eyes, I took her by the hand. I dragged her away before she could hurt anyone else.
"Ate, come here, breath in and out. Its a miracle when you get angry but if you do your like a volcano who erupted near a nuclear field or something" I brought her to the girls bathroom and locked it.
I could see she's having a rough time in releasing her anger, when she's like this she has to release it or else her heart might not be able to carry it. Then suddenly~
BOGSH BOGSH BOGSH
" ATE STOP IT! THAT'S ENOUGH! " She punched the wall and I could see blood slowly trickling down from her knuckles. This is the reason why she can't be mad or angered at anytime especially when she reaches her limit.
She's a kind person kinder then you ever know, but she's also serious and quite, outgoing and fun and full of hope and wisdom, but once she reaches her limit she either bursts out crying for ages or she'll most likely tend to break anything she can hold and punch the wall. But even though she's at the worst of her outburst she still knows how to control it so she won't hurt anyone else other then herself, that's why I love her so much.
She's crying now and hurting herself.
"Ate that's enough, calm down, breath in and out. Hays ate, I never thought we'd see him again and in all the places you guys could cross paths it really has to be here in th Philippines. In this exact school too, all I can say is ate... Calm down, just let it all out and let yourself cool down. " I carresed her back and gave her tissues to wipe her tears off. She's so red in the face right now and I can still feel the outrage in her awra.
" Yeah me too baby, aghhh! I can't believe this! If I only knew that he would be here then I wouldn't have agreed on going here in the first place! I feel like I regret accepting their plans, no correction I REALLY DO REGRET IT" She look in the mirror and washed her face.
" It's a good thing that our classes are later or else we might not have the chance to eat anymore. "
" Are you hungry? Sorry baby, come on let's go to the canteen, please do take care of me, your big sis is still weak. " we went to the canteen and sat with the rest of our friends.
" Hey, Melody, Crystal we thought you'd never come. We waited for so long. " it was Aid who talked to us.
" Where did you guys go? We were going to surprise you guys but looks like we're the one's suprised" wika ni Alui.
"Is it true that Axel cornered you Crystal? OMG you're so lucky!" squealed Cass.
"There is nothing good in that and surely it's not lucky to be cornered by him. It was the WORST ever. I wanna tear him apart if it was possible. But I'm not in the mood to explain anything right now . I better go. I'll just go to the library Melody. If you need me I'll be there. " she left with her sandwich without another word
" So care to tell us what really happened Melody? . " asked Kae with curiosity
" Yeah, we saw your big sisters knuckles were bleeding. Is she ok? " Aaron asked
Everyone looked at me with curiosity waiting for my answers. I explained everything to them about how Alex cheated on ate and how they never had any communication after that and how Ate can get mad. Plus how they cross paths yesterday and how ate wouldn't go to school today if I hadn't forced her to.
"Wow, but from the looks of it looks like Axel hasn't moved on yet, it's the first time I saw him like that. And your ate, I'm sure she moved on but the pain and anger she felt was still there." Cass explained
" I think they need closure or something. Maybe they were just shocked at their presence and everything flashed backed all of a sudden even the feelings" Butted in Yvette.
" I don't know but, Alex was my sisters longest lover. They were in a relationship for 1 year 5 months , maybe you guys are right, they do need closure and it has to be soon. I mean it's only been 2 years since they last saw each other. " I looked at them all. How weird it is to share something to my new friends.
" Well, enough of that drama, let's go to the field, and don't worry, Axel and his friends won't be there today they have their rest days every Tuesday and Friday as long as there isn't a big game to come. " Zeki said assuringly.
