"Welcome Students to another year and a new year for transfers and freshmen here in Spēju Akadēmija!"
The first thing we, the students heard from the school's speaker the moment we step foot in this Academy.
"Here! Your map and your flow chart." Sabi sakin ng isang estudyanteng naka-uniporme sabay bigay ng flyer, "after receiving this, go to the faculty room in the first building second floor to claim your Identification Card and your Uniform as well as your Year Pin. Your department Badge will be given to you after the sorting test. Have a great stay." She added and smiled at me after giving me instructions.
After passing the arch where the upperclassmen welcome the new students, kaagad kong tiningnan yung mapa at flow chart na binigay sakin para kaagad na mapuntahan yung faculty room.
I was busy scanning the whole document when someone bump on me that made me stumbled but lucky enough to stop myself from falling.
"Hey! Don't play around. Don't be a pain in the ass!" I scolded but what I get in return is a small chuckle from a girl.
"Men-go men-go. I didn't mean to." She said again with a hint of stopping herself from laughing but failed to do so.
Didn't mean to pero nakatawa? Lokohan ba to? Kung makatawa pa wagas, nakahawak pa sa tiyan niya na parang di na makahinga sa kakatawa.
And because of her loud laughter naagaw namin ang atensyon ng iba, napansin ko pang nagbubulungan sila pero yung iba is balewala lang pero nakikiramdam.
Binalik ko ang pansin ko sa babaeng nakatawa parin hanggang ngayon.
Really? Anong nakakatawa? She's pissing the hell out of me.
"You didn't mean it but you are laugh—" but I was cut off by someone when I was in the middle of scolding her.
"HEY DUDE NANDITO KA LANG PALA!" that someone shouted kaya napatingin samin yung ibang estudyanteng walang may paki nung una at sabay akbay nito sakin.
"Who the hell are y—" and again, I was stop by another fool by covering my mouth, dragging me off somewhere I don't know.
What the hell is wrong with these assholes?! And who the hell are they?! But they do have department badge on their uniform ibig sabihin ay estudyante na sila dito pero di ko lang makita kung anong year.
The other fool keeps dragging me hanggang sa paliko na kami sa parang garden pero bago pa man kami nakapasok sa parang garden sinipat ko muna ng huling tingin yung kasama siguro nito at yung babaeng bumangga sakin and I saw the other fool bowing many times to that girl before running away to follow us.
Ibinalibag ko ang kamay nitong nakapigil sakin para komprontahin.
"Anong problema mo?! Ninyo?! I don't even know you!" Sigaw ko dito at nakita ko namang apolegetic siya but still!
"Kung wala kayong magawang maayos, huwag niyo ko idamay!" and I am hoping to have a peaceful year here! And you just ruined it!
"Dude, we know that you don't know us but we're just trying to save your ass from rumors and bad luck." Sagot naman nito sabay taas ng kamay na parang sinasabing 'tama na, suko na'.
Rumors? Rumors about what? Badluck? What the hell?
"You bunch of crazy fools." I whispered with loss of words to say.
Bahala kayo sa buhay niyo.
With a last look tinalikuran ko siya and was about to leave when again, just effin again! I was stopped by the other fool.
"What now?!" Winaksi ko ang kamay nitong nakahawak sa balikat ko nung pinigilan niya ako.
"What now? A warn... Stay away from that girl if you want to live peacefully here. That girl? She's the definition of no good. Everyone here call her BN, stay away from her. No matter what."
And with that, umalis na silang dalawa, leaving me dumfounded.
What the heck? She's just a girl, so what worries them? Crazy fools.

"Darkus Rye Dmitriv, transfer student." I introduced myself to the officer who's handling the distribution of School Uniform and Identification Card.
Tiningnan niya muna ako ng maigi na parang ini-examine ako bago niya tiningnan yung listahang nasa lamesa niya.
"Dmitriv... Dmitriv... Diesel, Dius, oh here, Dmitriv, Darkus Rye, Year 3-A. Dorm 4 Room 3." She murmured, "Here, your school uniform and your year pin." She added handing me mine.
"After this, kindly go to your room and change into your uniform and after that go straight to the session hall. Opening Cerenomy will be starting an hour from now and about the Sorting Test, it will be announced during the Opening Ceremony. That's all."
"Thank you, Miss." Sabi ko naman kaniya bago umalis at kaagad na tumungong Dorm.
Hindi naman kalayuan ang Dorm Houses sa School Building pero may pader itong mataas na naghihiwalay sa School Facilities.
Kaagad akong tumungong kwarto na naassign sakin.
Hmm, the room is big enough for three people. It's so spacious na kompleto narin sa gamit. Each of us has our individual room that to my liking. I'm a guy but I want privacy.
I went to my room at nakitang kong nandoon narin yung mga gamit na pinadala ko and without wasting more time, nagpalit na kaagad ako ng uniform para magtungo sa Session Hall.
I just really hope that this time, I will live my life peacefully at mangyayari yun kung hindi ko lang makakasalubong ulit ang babaeng yun—
Sana...
Then what the fuck is this? Why she's beside me?!
"Oh, hello! You are that guy from earlier!" She said between her laughter, "sorry, by the way. I don't really mean to bump on you pfft—"
God, help me please.
