Amanpollo Academy
Antonella can feel the excitement rising through her veins as she walks through the towering gates of the prestigious academy. After few years away from school, away from public eye not knowing the world from outside. The blooming trees that shaded the walk way soothes makes her smile and forget her loneliness; they can help you relax and forget about your anxieties. Since childhood, the girl has been in love with the nature, she will always escape to her secret hideaway, the woods behind the manor. Antonella's long blonde curly hair was dancing with the wind; she had never felt so happy before. Life is truly magical and exciting. It is not always perfect, but it is a blessing.
The girl continued walking and saw a beautiful garden it has golden daffodils that shines as bright as the sky, there are roses colored in bloody red, and daisies with different colors like a rainbow that made her eyes fully amazed on the new surroundings. And something catch her eyes, a swing tied up on a small branch of an oak tree.
“I found a new spot to calm my nerves” she said excitingly
She wanted to stay there for a long time but it is already time for the tour, she checked the map that her mother has given her but it is complicated.
"I am doomed! I got lost" she uttered
She began to panic, but she remembered her parents, that she would be fine no matter what.
The girl walked on circles but the school is really vast until she found a little boy playing near a fountain, she approach the boy and ask him.
“Uhm excuse me can I ask something?” she said
The boy look at her with a confuse gaze, it has ash gray hair, and there is something special with his eyes. Each of it with different colors.
"This boy is cute; it's unusual to see someone with this eye color perhaps he wears contacts" she thought to herself.
Unfortunately, the little boy overheard it.
"I don't wear any contacts, Miss it's birth given" he explained
"Oops, I apologize I'm sorry" she said as she bows her head and continued to apologize
"It's ok" he replied
“Are you new here?” he asked
Antonella fixed herself and raise her head
“Yes I am can I ask something?”
“Sure Miss” the boy replied while smiling
“I got lost and the school map is so confusing and-
“You wanna know where is the dean’s office don’t you?” the boy grinned
“How did you know?”
“Just a guess well just turn left to that corner and you will see a stadium then just go straight you will find the school main hall. At the main hall there is the dean’s office”
“That was a relief thank you…how should I call you?”
“Just call me Hiro, and you are?”
“I'm Antonella nice to meet you Hiro” she replied and they both shake each other’s hands
A sudden vibration rooting to the center of the earth trembled Hiro’s nerve. But Antonella is fully unaware of the strange thing happening in front of her presence. The boy just stood there speechless with no emotions.
“Hey Hiro are you ok?” she wave her hand in front of the boy’s face
“Oh sorry Miss I better get going”
A strong wind blew to the fountain and it made the girl pick some dusts to her eyes. As she opened her eyes, the boy is gone.
“That’s weird”
Antonella continued her path and reached her destination. She knocked on the dean’s office and a beautiful lady welcomed her,
“Hello Antonella I have been waiting for you” the lady said
“Apologies for being late dean, It won’t happen again”
The lady just chuckled.
"I am Margaux Alessandra Barchiessi, you can address me as Miss Margo" she said
"Greetings Miss, I am Antonella Alessandra Borghese a new student of this school" Antonella greeted back
“You are such a sweet and bright child, you are also pretty. So Antonella are you ready for the school tour?”
"Thank you dean, yes I am ready."
"Come with me everyone is on the stadium, let's go."
Antonella, with the dean went to the stadium of Amanpollo Academy it is so big and wide. She was blown away when she saw the number of new students that would be attending the school tour. There are numerous students who are busy conversing with one another. Antonella is getting nervous because she does not know how to communicate properly with people since she left school because of a terrible memory.
The school director saw Antonella’s shaky hands and motivates her.
“Antonella don't be nervous trust yourself and have courage, Just relax” she said with a beautiful soothing voice to the ears
The girl’s anxiety seem to be lessen. Following that, they approached the professor in charge of the event.
“Teacher Cecilia this is Antonella one of the new students, please assist her properly”
" As you wish Miss Margo, I will be honored too"
The teacher approaches the girl and smiled at her.
“Greetings Antonella I am Cecilia Kronbach the head of academic affairs and I will be one of your instructor for this year”
“Good afternoon Teacher Cecilia it is a big pleasure to finally meet you” she smiled back
After the introductions Antonella went on her line and the the teacher has began the tour.
