Chapter 2 "A new beginning "

I entered the building and it was very quiet. I was surprised to the core "Is this how boring an academy is? My home town was fun" I walked across classes. They were all empty but very neat,  it looked like a horror house, dark and quiet. I reached the head professor's door, I placed my luggage by the wall before knocking and entered "Hello, anyone here?" I found bearded men sitting on majestic chair "Hello young lady" he got up heading towards me "You must Elina Stephen" we shook hands but I was surprised "Do you know me?" he chuckled "Who wouldn't know you the only child of Jacob Stephens who was an heir to your pack." My eyes were  wide open. How could this man know everything about me when we just met? I must be famous out here "Mmm, I see you do" I nodded watching him heading back to sit "Sit down" I settled myself down as he cleared his throat "We called you here because you are very good in science we want people like you in our academy. I believe in bringing changes and the making of a great future and you my dear is just one amongst the many people who could make it happen. We could use your talent for greater success, I believe in youths power so please prove me right by your presence in this academy" his words were so firm and the determination in his eyes awoken something inside of me, a fighting spirit. "I will do my best, thank you for considering me" he smiled at me before he handed me a key that had number on it "This is your room keys, come to me when you need anything, Elina" I nodded, but curious "But where is the dorm? You haven't told me" he laughed "Oh my bad, I almost forgot that you are new here pardon me. I'll call someone to take you there, you wait" he picked up a phone and dialed "Come to my office now" he ordered.

Shortly a man came in after a knock "Take her to the female dormitory and help her with the luggage"  he bowed "Yes sir" he looked at me "Shall we, young lady?" I got up and bowed before heading out with the man. He carried the luggage and I followed him, the academy was oddly quiet to me I couldn't help but to ask "Mister um.... why I don't see any students here?" he smiled "The rest of students will enroll tomorrow, only few came today"                                                    

"Aah, I see that's why" we reached our dormitory "This is the one?" he asked, I looked at the key number and gave him a nod "Yes it is, thank you" he smiled before leaving "Don't mention it" I opened the door and entered. It wasn't a big one but very well arranged and neatly decorated. I threw down the luggage and jumped on the bed "Oh this is too cool, It's amazing." I rolled myself and saw another bed, I frowned. I didn't like to share a bedroom. I just wish it'll be a good person. 

I opened my luggage and unpacked it. I've arranged my folded outfits on the cupboard and my bags too, the shoes on the shelf. Once I was done I thought of going out to get something to eat. My stomach was giving me the duty calls. I walked across the courtyard, damn... the academy was so well built but scary for some reasons. I walked straight to the gate guard "Ah... sir where can I get something to eat? I am hungry and kinda new here" he lifted his head looking at me, gosh his stoic face almost made me jump away "You can go and eat out if you have the privilege or you can just go to the cafeteria at building number five" he explain, Now what the hell with this privilege thing? "Thank you sir " I said and walked myself away from there.

I had no plans of going out, I didn't know the streets yet so I decided to search for the building, I walked around for some good minutes and finally got it. With no further waste of time I walked in and got welcomed by two pairs of brown eyes, I gulped "May I get something to eat, please" he didn't utter a word and just used his finger to show me food displays to pick which food I would like to eat. The food displays had a variety of foods, I creased and pointed for hotdogs "I'll take this" he nodded and packed it before handing it to me, I felt uneasy eating there with a mute men who strangely staring at me and decided to go to eat at the dorm instead. I was full in no time and got bored but it was already at night time. Oh how I wished there was someone to talk to. I pulled out my hand phone and dialed Bella *ring ring* "Elina, how are you my dear? how is it going there?" I rolled my eyes at ber words "I am bored to death, I came ahead of everyone. The other students are checking in tomorrow" I groaned in frustration, she chuckled "Oh dear you must really be bored then, how about you just close your eyes and go to sleep." I hissed "Are you telling me to hang up?" she laughed out loud "Of course not dear, if you are bored then you should just go to sleep to chase away unnecessary emotions" I smiled, I can't stay angry at her, never. "Okay, I was about to anyway. Good night Bella." she kissed me over the phone and I returned it "Good night Eli" I hanged up and wrapped my body with bedsheets before going to sleep.

When I just closed my eyes, I was drawn to a strange dream. Golden eyes and lips curved into a smile, It's a man with golden eyes. He kneels down asking me something and I answer him smiling as well as I looked at him. He got up and gave me a passionate kiss, suddenly dark consumed us and when I opened my eyes he was gone from my sight. I cried looking for him. Searching everywhere as I called his name but he was gone.

Then I heard the bell ringing continuously, It was annoying to death. I shot my eyes open facing the ceilings. The dream felt like it was real, I could still feel the emotions and my breath damn!  What was that dream about? I yawned, going straight to the window, raffling my hair. "It's morning already?" I raised one brow and I gasped surprisingly when the reality hit me. I woke up on my own! There were many cars and students with their luggage. They came so early, I froze by the window for a while studying the students.

Shortly two Mercedes Benz arrived with a big sound catching everyone's attention,  two cute girls stepped out from the yellow one and two breathtaking boys stepped out of the black one. I was awed by their aura, they walked like some sort of movie stars making everyone stare at them, everything was happening in slow motion. One of the boys catch my attention,  I didn't know why. He was tall, broad shoulders, silky blonde hairs and his back it was firm as he was walking. "Shit! he is so handsome!'' the words slipped from my mouth, but surprisingly it was as if the boy heard me, he turned his head straight up to the window where I was standing. I stared straight into his eyes 'Huh! that golden eyed boy!' my heart skipped a beat, I couldn't keep on looking at him and hid behind the curtains. When I looked out again they were gone. I couldn't believe my eyes, he was the one I dreamt of last night but the bigger question was...who is he? Why did I dream of him? I shook away the thoughts.

I was brought back to my senses by a sound of a door opening,  a short Indian girl entered dragging her luggage in. "Can you help me, please?'' I rushed to give her a hand "It's so heavy, do you carry stones?" I blurted making her laugh, I couldn't help but ask, the suitcase was too heavy for her size. "Sorry I've got many books in it, that's why" I smiled, she stretched her hand "By the way I am Ria'' I shook hands with her "I am Elina'' her lips curved into a big smile "You are so beautiful, Elina" I lowered my eyes down feeling shy, well I just woke up and she is telling me that I am beautiful. "And so are you, thank you Ria''.

I walked to the washroom leaving her unpacking her things, I gave the privacy that she needed. I walked out few minutes later drying my hair, with another towel wrapped on my body. I picked up a mini blue skirt and white top before heading back to change. When I came out she was all done with unpacking she smiled at me. "You must be new here" I nodded at her "And you?" she shook her head in denial "I am not, we just went on vacation and now we're back. Some of us have been here since a year ago, conducting researches for our programs before we even started, you can call it a pre class or whatever" she explained "Aah" I said, I wasn't aware of such thing. She pulled out her phone "Tell me you contacts" I was surprised by her communication skills, the chemistry. Unlike her, I usually take time to trust people and make friends but Ria, she was a chatterbox, I could tell that right from our first meeting.

We exchanged our contacts, she dragged me by my hands heading out "Let's go to eat I am famished, I was so excited to get back here and couldn't even have my breakfast at home" I couldn't resist her and just followed her lead. I was new anyway, I needed such person around me. We headed to the cafeteria but this time it was very lively, many students were eating, chatting and  laughing. She dragged me again to that mute men "Jeff, give us potato soup ASAP!" surprisingly he chuckled "Oh, you are back my chatterbox!" Ria chukled at him "I am sure you missed me" I cocked my head to one side, giving him an attitude when he looked at me 'So he can talk? well, fuck him' I cursed within my thoughts 

He gave us two trays with bowls of soup. I glanced at him in disbelief, he gave me a wide smile. I was disgusted and turned my back on him, he was a weirdo.  

We sat down on the tables facing each other,  we started to eat but Ria just couldn't keep quiet and I  unfortunately loved her, it was official. She would keep me out of boredom. We finished our breakfast and as usual she dragged me again by my hand. I was slowly getting used to her and that behavior of hers. Within a day she was already surprising me with a lot, she was impossible. "Come Eli....what again?" she had a deep two lines on her forehead. I chuckled "It's Elina, but you can call me Eli" she smiled at me "Okay, come with me. I'll show you around" we walked to the gardens, across the classrooms and finally to the theater. "I love coming here to hide sometimes" she chuckled, I shook my head. She was a hella type of girl that I can't define. After a long day of walking around we ended up at our lockers putting in our stuff before we headed back to our dorm. She threw herself on her bed "Man, we had a long day today, whew!" she let out a sigh. I took off my shoes first before laying down as well, we really had a long crazy day, thanks to her.
