Transferee

Keevah

It was a fine day of June when a large size of package came, it's from Avarial High. We thank the delivery man and went to the living room to check what's in the package. I smiled as I saw a pieces of uniform and one P.E uniform, the logo is very good, it looks like a lion king of the jungle.

"What's the matter?" She's wearing a mask while heading to the door, she's running late again. I rolled my eyes and respond, "A package from Avarial came today, it seem that I'm more than welcome." I said, showing her a genuine smile.

"Oh, thank them once you see her at your university. She helped us a lot." I put the box beside the coffee table and looked at the mustard color blouse and skirt. Pretty, I've been searching Avarial a lot just to see this uniforms. I never imagined that I can get a chance to wear it. I'm so happy!

Getting more excited, I put the box on the table and search for "Avarial High" online. Honestly, I'm rooting for some mysterious background about them. I want to know what kind of university Avarial is. Well, my father used to tell me how much he loved this university and aside from being a baseball star. My father also won a lot of campaign inside and out of the university that makes his schoolmates jealous, he's a well talented guy that everyone loves.

But what makes me curious is the day before the car accident. My mom said that he's with his former teammates when an anonymous guy shot and threatened him. I got a dream about me being there but how? I'm in a meeting that time. A theater play meeting. My mom once said that I'm not allowed to touched anything that belongs to my father. That's what the police says to her after the accident, that we're still in danger. That I'm not allowed to be in a spotlight. But why? Why am I not allowed to touch his belongings when I really missed him? Why?

I feel my tears all around my face, not wanting to stop. This logo of Avarial, he used to draw this when we're done doing my homework, is it because the chairman is his friend or because it's his alumni? I really don't get it, I can't see it clearly. It's just a vague memory of mine. But that doesn't mean I can't uncovered my father's case, this is not the end of his story.

"Avarial is really good at keeping their secret a secret, huh. Well, that's more than what I thought." I grabbed all of the scattered papers on the floor and throw it on the trash bin.

I went upstairs and type something on my secret note. Typing something here becomes my hobby. It's not like a plan but a little bit more like a friend to me. I'm always saying things something I can't tell to my mother. I even call her as "Terces" everytime I type something.

I used to type my plan here about my father's case, Of course I secretly type this everytime my mother went to her job just because I don't want her to see this message. One time she saw a few messages I type here and she was mad to the point that she hide my phone for almost a month. And I don't want that to happen again, I trust my instinct that this investigation will be good without any traces.

"What are you doing?" I stiffened as I heard someone asked, I can say that it's mom. The way her tone asked me, something's definitely wrong right now! But why is she here? I bet she get fired for being late again. What a wonderful surprise, right.

"I-im chatting with friends!" I said and hid my phone on my back. She narrowed her eyes and nodded. Eh? She let me pass with time, huh. Something is definitely wrong right here. Wait, I think I saw her smiling just now.

"I'll call you for dinner, go prepare yourself for tomorrow." She said then slammed the door. I closed my eyes and take a nap.

"Keevah, it's already time but you're still sleeping. It's your first day, right!" I recklessly open my eyes and rush to the bathroom. I wear the uniform and looked at the mirror. It fits me well.

"Mom, I'll leave now!" I shouted before heading to the bus station.

Walking dumbfoundedly, I feel a firm gaze at me. I turn around and travel my eyes all around the place and saw no one but a couple of people dashing in a busy place like this. I get a feeling of being observe so I step faster than usual and headed to the bus station. After a minute of waiting, the bus stop in front of me and the people started to get inside. I swipe my card and go to the back and sit on the vacant seat.

"Do you mind if I sit here?" A good looking young lady come and talked to me. She's wearing a uniform same as mine and it seem like she captured me at the time that she sit next to me.

She's beautiful, her white pale skin and that small eyes of hers makes her more beautiful. "Hey, you've staring at me. Is there something on my face." I gasp as she looked at me.

Caught off guard, I smile at her and introduce myself. "No nothing, I'm-" the bus stop and the girl next to me get off and so did I. I looked at my wrist watch and saw the time running fast, I'm going to be late if I walked like this. I need run for my life, this is my first day of Senior High and I need to have a good impression to the headmaster.

I hold my knee as I inhale and exhale, catching my breath. Phew, I came in time. I looked at the extravagant car coming for somewhere, and some of the beautiful creatures came out, just like that. Is this real, so many good looking creatures. I never seen a lot of beautiful people since then. This must be my lucky day.

Some students gathered around when a car came, I can't see it but I don't care I need to go somewhere more important than this. I shove the thoughts of being gossiper and read the sign when someone started talking about the announcement later on. I wonder what kind of important announcement is it.

I walked and walked until I realized that I don't have somewhere to go so I lean on the wall next to me and start talking to myself when a girl bumped into me, making her books fly on the air. My eyes widen and immediately offer her a help. Luckily, she gladly accept it and smile to me. It's late when I realized that she's the girl from earlier, she looked bubbly like earlier. I puzzled when a smile on her face replace the panicked on her.

"I'm Diana Scott, and you?" She asked offering me her hand for a handshake. I was about to say my name when a group of girls came to us, rushing. I tilted my head and look at them.

Her friends, I guess.

"We need to hurry, we're going to be late again. We already talked about being late, right?" One of them said, she has a bigger eyes then anyone of us but it's cute. Her eyes is sparkling.

"Yeah, okay then. See you." Diana on the other hand shake my hand and I stand there for a longer time. I came rushing at the headmaster's office when the bell rang.

"Sorry, I came late." I deeply apologize since I'm not used to being late, this is the very first time. I'm always the early bird of the group. That's why I felt guilty about being late.

"No, you just came in time." She smile, brighter than the sunlight. I know it's exaggerating but that's the only word I can compare to it.

"This is your timetable, you're not allowed to visit any buildings for the time being. I hope you understand." I nodded, that makes me more curious that I want to explore the university on my own after school later.

"Oh, yes. I understand." I bow my head and headed to my classroom. I can't understand, most of the school make sure the transferee will have a tour all over the university but they didn't, why? I want to ask why but my mouth can't. I can't move my mouth at all when she said that.

"You must be the transferee." A short haired girl standing in front of me said as she lead the way of my room.

She must be my homeroom teacher.

I can hear the students murmur as I walked towards my classroom. I can tell that they're talking about me, and behind my back. What kind of gossip they have on me, in a transfer student like me who lives in a province. Why do they need to talk about me, being the center of attention isn't totally my thing, but there's no way I can say that to them.

"Listen, we have a new student who will be with us this whole year. You can introduce yourself." I looked at the whole four corner room. They're all looking at me, with a smirk on their faces.

"I'm Keevah, Keevah Davis." I said.

After my introduction, everyone applaud and start questioning me all of the sudden, I wasn't prepared of anything yet.

"What kind of person your parents?" Someone asked. I furrowed my eyebrows. What kind of question is that!

"Are they dealing an illegal company?" In a serious face, I looked at the guy who said that. They're so annoying, is this how they welcome a transferee?

"Why? Is that because your parents do that? That's why you're expecting me and my parents to do such a thing as well, right? Well, we didn't." He's not sure that I can defend myself, and I can say that through his eyes. It's trembling.

"You're Harry Davis daughter, is that right?" Someone asked, I nodded and looked at her. "Then, how about a few rounds in baseball after lunch?" She's raising her eyebrows while her feet is on the table.

"Oh, you don't want. Sorry I forgot. Harry Davis, the baseball star died many years ago." Laughter filled the room. Hearing what she said makes my heart beat so fast. My body is still calm but not my heart, it's aching.

I don't know how did they know about my father when me, his only daughter didn't. What happened that time, I can't remember at all.

"So, you forgot about your father?" I bit my lower lips as I examine her.

Who is she? Why is she talking about my father? Did she know something happened back then? Why? My eyes are still fixed on her. I want her to remember what losing is.

"Okay, let's play after lunch." I said. The room became quiet, no one dare to cut that silence until the professor broke it. She patted my shoulder and pointed at the chair on the back.

I walked towards the guy sitting next to my chair and sat next to him. He smile at me and wave his hand. His smile gives warm to the tension I felt earlier. I grab my notebook and pen then doodle something that comes to my mind when my seatmate caught my eyes, he's staring at me and say.

"So you're that popular amnestic transferee."
