CHAPTER 1-NEW SCHOOL

School during class hours is like stepping into a vibrant tapestry of learning and discovery. The hallways are filled with a buzz of excitement, as students rush past with backpacks slung over their shoulders. The sound of lockers opening and closing, laughter echoing through the corridors, and the shuffle of footsteps create a lively atmosphere.Upon entering a classroom, the atmosphere becomes even more palpable.Walking past the classroom doors, you catch glimpses of students engaged in their studies. In one room, a math class is in full swing, with the teacher explaining complex equations on the whiteboard while students eagerly take notes. In another, a history class is immersed in a lively discussion, with students eagerly sharing their perspectives on significant events.

The room is filled with the soft hum of conversation, punctuated by the occasional burst of laughter or the focused silence of concentration. The walls are adorned with colorful posters and educational displays, showcasing the vast array of knowledge that awaits the eager minds within. The teacher stands at the front of the room, guiding the students through an engaging lesson, their voice resonating with passion and enthusiasm. The air is filled with the hum of intellectual curiosity and the constant exchange of ideas. The distinct aroma of freshly sharpened pencils and textbooks fills the air, hinting the endless possibilities within these walls. The school environment feels like a vibrant ecosystem, with each classroom a microcosm of learning, growth, and collaboration. It is a place where knowledge is shared, friendships are forged, and dreams take shape.

The students, seated at desks arranged in neat rows, are fully engaged, their eyes fixed on their textbooks, notebooks, or the interactive whiteboard. Some raise their hands eagerly, eager to contribute to the lively discussion. The air is filled with a sense of curiosity and intellectual energy, as minds are constantly challenged and expanded with new ideas. It is in this dynamic environment that the seeds of knowledge are sown, fostering a love for learning that will stay with these students for a lifetime.

The classroom was a wide amphitheater that amplified the professor's voice in order to reach the entire room.

Along the walls were the usual diagrams, posters, and rules that professors liked to display to liven up the room. The air smelled of the usual classroom smell. It's hard to describe but you'd know instantly upon smelling it that you were in a place of education."

'the largest trees by volume in the world. **ranging between 250 and 300 feet tall, the tallest being about 325 feet high. While their height is impressive, the real wonder of a lies in its bulk.*** ****The giant sequoias.....**

He paused , hearing giggles behind him. He knew immediately they were at it again. He knew exactly what was going on even without looking back. He only wished they would not do it in his class.

Caeser was the point of attention and bullying in the class , if not the whole school. He was a robust size 16 year old , with zits all over his face and always seemed to have a running nose. He was doing a fine job of ignoring her but they didn't lessen it all the same.

May always found a way to torment Caeser no matter when an at this point , it was already a habit even the school knew of. He has been advised by everyone to stand up for himself but lately he seemed to endure it longer than usual. She was teasing him saying, "the World would stop rotating if you lost weight and your stupid nose stopped running " A burst of laughter echoed through out the class. Quite louder at the back where May and her followers resided. She was basically the Queen bee , which girls feared and guys respected. Her beauty with a touch of her attitude made it seem she was out of everyone's league, and that only made guys crush from afar. No one dared to open up about their feelings to her.. for the fear of either being rejected or publicly humiliated.

Not so sure who could like a girl as nasty as her. "That's enough May" The teacher spoke loudly " I'm in the middle of my lectures. How about you wait till after my class to resume whatever it is that you're doing" . He definitely wasn't gonna sacrifice his precious time he could use for teaching to resolve a never ending matter..

" But I wanna bully Chubby Cae Cae now" That was her special nickname he gave him which only she was allowed to call.She said with a sly grin on her face. Obviously she had no regard for anyone and the Mr Thomas was no exemption . He rolled his eyes , facing the board to continue his subject. With his back still turned , he said in a low tone but loud enough for everyone to hear

"Karma has a way of repaying people, who knows ? You might be in a situation where Caeser would be your only help and he'll probably refuse just remembering everything you did to him. "

" Oh yeah? What hell would break loose in order for me to want help from a person like this looser"

A voice amongst the student said " Or he might be rich and handsome in the future and you'll want to date him" . It was an obvious tease as the whole class roared in laughter.. Caeser face turned red with embarrassment.

******Why did he have to open his mouth** placing his hand in his ear to block the annoying giggles bouncing around the class. He wished the ground open up so he could crawl in there and hide forever .

One of the girls bluntly asked out loud" Hey. May! Would you kiss Caeser if you were given a million dollars?".

This time, only her laughed . It was painful all the same and the teacher immediately regretted why he even brought up this topic in the first place .

With her nose ,high as ever " I wouldn't even kiss him if my life depended on it" . Once more the class echoed with laughter. The person to subdue the noise was the class president. The only person who didn't find this in anyway funny was Caeser as his head laid rested on his table. He felt like crying or even throwing something hard at her, but he knew that would only make things worse. A whole lot worse!

The class continued, with subtle chuckles here and there but not too much to interrupt the class. There still some that found all that had just happened still funny. Sooner or later, the class was over and Mr Thomas walked out briskly , following immediately with the Head teacher walking in. He was closely followed by a average boy with dark hair. He wore a white T shirt which was tucked in plain brown trouser.

He was fair, almost pale white. His unfathomable, golden brown eyes contrasted exceptionally with his light toned face.

It was rather presumptuous to say that a person dressed like a someone's middle age uncle would look nothing like the person that stood in front of the whole class.

Everyone had their eyes on him, there was just something about him that made every girls heart race, and every guy stare hard. A really akward "Hey " broke the silence. His voice was deep , sky rocketing his attraction.

He was introduced to the class by the head teacher as a transfer student who goes by the name Alucard . There wasn't any empty seat so the head teacher walked out of the class with the transfer student still behind, off to go make arrangements.

The class resumed into it's usual talking amongst student. Every female seemed to have gained a little bit of attraction from the transfer student who spent less than a minute in their presence but none could compare to the way May felt.

She always looked down on guys for some unknown reason but he looked different. No! He felt different. She couldn't explain but the image of his akward smile got stuck in her head . She brushed it off as being irrelevant. Either way she was gonna keep a close eye on this new student. A smile escaped her face of the thought of getting to know the guy and finding out he was going to be as pathetic as every guy she ever knew.

It was only a matter of time
