CHAPTER:1
" Xypniste Melodia, miterakai patras echei Mia simantiki anakoinosi" ("Wake up Melody, mother and father has an important announcement")
"Entaxei, Entaxei erchomai" ("OK, Ok I'm coming")
Aghh, it's so early, what does mama and papa have to say at this time? I quickly changed and went downstairs
"Kalimera Melodia, Kalimera Krystallo" greeted mother and father from the kitchen
"Good morning too mama and papa" My big sister and I replied.
"So what is this announcement you say you have for us today ma, pa?" I questionaly asked.
They looked at me with an expression of worrisome. I wonder what this is about again.
"Dear you know how your father and I are having struggles with the business right? Well, for us to save money your father and I decided to enroll you to a well... Let's just say cheaper school then your usual."
"Then? As long as it's in Greece we don't mind MA, anyways we're not picky. ."
" Yes darling but the things is..." she said with hesitation.
"Ma, just get to the point or she might just leave all of a sudden." butted in by Crystal
"Sosta, eimau se afto(Right, I'm on it), well we decided na if we wanted a cheaper school we decided that Philippines is the best place. We may be able to save much more money but of course the school there is also private but like I said at least it's cheaper that's the point of all this." she explained
"Ti?! Den boro na pao ekei den xero kanenan sa afto to scholeiro" ("What?! I cannot go there, I don't know anyone at that school") I exclaimed.
"Baby, you can go meet new friends there, and the school there is beautiful, you'll meet new people and you might be able to learn how to socialize more, it'll be good for you"
"NO MA, that's final." I walked out of the kitchen and headed straight to my bedroom.
BTW I'm Melody Virtuoso, I'm 19 years old 2nd year college and I am the youngest among us siblings, First Kuya Valentino (Val for short) then Ate Crystal (Tal for short) and me Melody (Dy for short). I live here in Athens Greece and I'm pure Filipina, my mother and father moved here when I was only a baby, were not the type of family na masaya, we have our own flaws and imperfections lalo na sina mama and papa, they never have time for us and they always put their pride up when they have fights, plus I became antisocial,I hate life and nothings gonna change that. I always feel like there is something missing within me, like I don't know who I am or what is my purposes in this world. And moving to a new place? Mas lalo lang ako maguguluhan.

CAFE
Melodia, giati mas kalesate
(Melody why did you call us?)
"Metafero scholeia Kate kai stis Filippines I zoi mou echei idi chasei alla tora? Einai poly poi chalesmeno"
(Im transferring schools Kate and In the Philippines. My life is already messed up but now? It's much more messed up)
"Loipon, min fygete, boreite na meinete sto spiti mas kai boroume panta na vgainoume exo"
("Well, then don't go, you can stay at our house and we can always go out.")
"How I wish Kate and Less but I don't have a choice, mother says she won't pay for the tuition fee anymore and the business is going down." I sadly explained
I looked outside the window, it's raining cats and dogs, I leaned on the window sill and imagined how terrible my life would be or even worse.
----------------
" Melody! Hey Melody! Let's talk" Pahabol na sabi ni ate sakin
"Ate I don't wanna talk right now, wala ako sa mood, if its about the transferring thing no." I retorted back.
"Look baby, mother and father won't be able to pay for our college fees anymore and we're running out of money, please understand them and you might find it a better opportunity for you to find who you are, a get a way trip to find yourself. Don't you want that? "
" You are really convincing ate, you really will be a good business women, first of all WE ARE ALWAYS the ones trying to understand them, second, what makes you think I can find myself there? Third I can work I'm already old enough. "
" First Melody, you need to understand that they are doing the best they can for us, second you'll find yourself there even more I'm sure of it and third you can't afford school with a work that only gives you enough money to pay for food. You get it? Come on please agree with it. "
" Aghhh, fine, you have a point, but if my life is going to be much more miserable there the blames on you" I glared at her and she laughed at me, if your just not my ate I wouldn't agree.
" Yes! Well get ready our flights tomorrow at 8am. We're gonna have a long flight so make sure to pack everything you need and don't bring to much jackets you don't need it there since its hot ." she hurriedly said and left me in shock.
-----------------
WELCOME TO THE PHILIPPINES
" Wake up Melody, we're here. Philippines! Here we come! "
" Agh.... We're already here in the Philippines you don't need to say that you know? . "
"Your such a philosopher !" she hit me on the head, wow and she has the sense of doing that to me.:< I hurriedly picked my things and followed them.
We're here in the hotel, we're gonna leave for tomorrow and stay at our rest house in Samal,which is soon to be permenant our perme ant house just until mother and father get their business running again.
---------------
It's been a week since we arrived here sa samal, I decided to walk around in the meantime, we just finished eating and I have nothing to do.
"Melody! Melody! I have good news, we're gonna visit our school! And we can have a tour around the place!" ate said excitedly .
"Like you really me now? Really? Like, now ?"
"Ay no were gonna go there tomorrow. Of course now! "
"OK ok jeez.."
We arrived at the school, ZEDHAR FEVLYTHON ACUESTRO COLLEGE is the name of the school that mom picked. I gotta say its a big school, malaki ang field ng skwelahan,computer lab, science lab, may pool, library and canteen plus extra rooms for extra curricular activities nila. Not bad after all.
"So that is our school Melody and Crystal, we hope that you have fun here and feel at home when you move in next week, if you need anything you can contact my secretary for further details" mahabang alintana ng Principle ng school.
"Thank you ma'am, we're happy to be a part of your school. I'm sure we'll have a great time. Right Melody?" Ate asked
"Ah. Yeah, sure."
I started to look around the place and a lot of people were staring at me as if they've only seen a person for the first time. I was about to head back when I bumped into someone.
"Watch where you're going miss."
"Sorry I didn't see you." I helped him pick his report papers that fell on the floor. I saw his name Zaidee Fevlython.
"You're new here I suppose, the girl from Greece? You look out of place and your not wearing the school uniform." he looked at me with curiosity
"Ah, yeah I'm new here and yes I'm a transferry from Greece . We're gonna move here next week...Zaidee right? I saw it on the report papers otherwise."
"Ah, yeah. I'm Zaidee , sorry I'm just in a bit of a rush, I need to pass this for our requirements . And you are?" he put his hands out to shake
"I am Melody, nice to meet you." I shook his hands and smiled gosh he's handsome.
"Melody? Let's go." I looked around and found ate Crystal
"I gotta go din Melody, Bye see you around" Zaidee said farewell and left.
"Hey, you didn't tell me you had a new crush lil sis" teased ate
"Be quite ate, and that's not true OK? I just bumped into him that's why, come one let's just go, I'm hungry." I pulled her and we left school.
While we were in the car I couldn't stop thinking about him, Zaidee is just a typical guy with a strong appeal, but what I can't get out of my mind is his dark brown eyes, his just right sized nose not to pointy neither flat either, his pinkish lips and charming smile. Aghhh and those bad boy hair of his! It's just so charming and~wait Melody stop! You can't like a guy that easily gosh, your just new here and your thinking about that ready. Well, at least May inspiration for school right?
