Officially a student

Gabi jogged in her direction but she disappeared out of nowhere.

(What the hell? She was just here a second ago.)

Gabimaru went inside the building trying to find Makima he took a sharp right turn and suddenly a forceful hold grabbed him and slammed him into the wall. " Why are you following me?" Makima asks the boy with an expressionless face. Her emotions were unreadable so Gabimaru didn't know if she was angry or confused or even crept out by his actions.

" Ms.Bushdia told me that you're basically my tour guide and we will be working with each other," Gabi answers the girl and her grip loosened from his shirt. She left the boy on the wall and started to walk away.

" And I'm sorry for how I acted earlier, " Gabi added.

Makima halted in her movements, " Follow me, or else I will leave you here stranded." She began walking.

( She's so bossy. She acts nothing like Kenji. Is she really his daughter?)

Gabi follows her lead but still keeps his distance away from her. Other than her bitchy attitude Gabi can't read the girl at all. She looks like a soulless person, he thought.

"You should focus your eyes around the area so you can get used to it instead of staring me down," Makima said without looking back at him.

" Don't feel yourself too much, I was just curious about something," he saved himself. He didn't want to let the girl think he was eyeing her down.

Makima stops walking and finally turns around to face Gabimaru. " About what?"

( Come on Gabi. Come up with anything to say,)

" Why did they name you Makima? It's too much of a handful to say, don't you think? Can I call you Maki for short? " Gabi talked his ass off. He does not care if he sounded dumb or being too friendly he just doesn't want to be caught up in a lie.

Makima was taken aback by this and kinda lost her calm composure. She turned away from him and continued to walk, "Nicknames are useless. Don't act like we are friends I don't have any needs for such things"

( Reminder Gabimaru. Don't do that again.)

Gabi kept quiet and continued to follow her. They came across a big building and they walked inside of it.

"Where are we?" Gabi asks the quiet girl.

Makima points her finger straight down the hallway, " The boys boarding building. Walk straight up and the staff will assist you to your room," Makima was about to walk away when Gabi grabbed her wrist.

"You're supposed to show me around not just where I sleep."

Makima looks at his hand on her wrist and looks back at him straight in the eyes with that same robotic expression. Even though her eyes are unique and colorful at the same time it's colorless like she doesn't have any interest in life itself. she yanked her arm away from his hold.

" What rank are you?" she questioned him.

Gabimaru was confused by what she meant, " Rank?"

What surprised him next by the girl's actions was when she closed the gap between them and started to sniff his neck. Gabimaru froze up, didn't know what to do or say so he let the girl finish what she was doing while holding his breath. " That's strange," she said.

Gabimaru finally released his breath, " What's strange ?"

She furrowed her eyebrows, " I can't tell what rank you are."

Gabi is still confused by what she meant. One thing Gabi found out is that she is not good with words or explaining herself for him to understand.

" How was sniffing me going to tell you? Are you trying to seduce me?" Gabi wrapped his arms around himself trying to block his body away from Makima.

Makima sucked her teeth, "as if? Don't flatter yourself I have a strong scent of things with my nose" she explained herself.

( Is she a dog or something?)

" I'm leaving. Go to the staff and they will help you with the rest." She quickly left after that and Gabi didn't stop her either.

( Such an odd person.)

Gabi walked to where Makima pointed at and saw a woman by the desk. He stood in front of the desk and grabbed the woman's attention.

" Um hello. I'm here to settle down," Gabi said nervously.

The woman looked at him "Oh. Are you the new sorcerer that started today?" she asked the boy.

Gabimaru gave her a dumbfounded look.

( No DUH. Why do you think I'm here? )

" Yes"

The woman with the tired bags underneath her eyes got up and pulled out a camera "What's your name? And stand in front of the wall"

Gabi did what he was told to do and stood up straight against the wall, " Gabimaru Bushdia"

She aims the camera at the boy, " Now smile for your school ID picture."

( Huh? Smile? I wasn't prepared for this.)

" Smile?" he questioned the woman.

The girl sighed at him, " Smile for your school ID."

Gabimaru tried his best to smile for the picture. He squinted his eyes together and opened his mouth to show his pearly white teeth. Gabi thought he was doing a decent job until he somewhat opened one of his eyelids to see the woman looked traumatized taking the picture of him.

" Are you finished?" he said softly while still holding his face in his smile position.

The woman blinked a couple of times and snapped a shot of him, "You finish.'' She grabbed the keys to his room and gave it to him right away, " Your room is straight down and it's the second to last door. You will get your ID right away." she quickly disappeared from his sight, scared to look him in the face.

(hmm that's weird. Why is she running away from me like I'm a plague or something?)

Gabi went to his room and entered inside of there. It was spacious and comfy for him. Gabimaru runs and jumps body flat down on the bed.

" ooooo so soft!" he squeals with excitement rolling around in his bed.

When Gabimaru was busy having fun in his bed he heard a knock on the door. He went to see who it was and it was the woman from earlier who took his photo.

"It's finished already…"

She handed him his ID didn't say a word towards him and left right away.

"Do I stink or something? Why does she keep running away? …."

Gabi looked down on his ID and was petrified of the results of how the photo came out.

( No no no no please tell me this is a joke?)

He rubbed his eyes because he thought he was seeing things and after the 6 rubs, he realized that the photo was real and he wasn't imagining anything.

"WHAT!" he screamed at the top of his lungs.
