Louis has never been the one to be spotted in the school nor be given the spotlight on her. That would be a story went awry.

Totally a bad idea.

She's just a 17 year old girl who just wishes to be left alone, experience taught her to be. Could never blame her, after being told who you should be through the rest of your elementary days, one could crack.

And she did.

After entering middle school, Louis changed the way who she is, letting what she feared the most, still happen. Watching as her smile slowly fades and be replaced. Replaced with such colorful masks.

Still, she never let them changed one thing about her. After all, it's what Filipinos are, a very resilient people. Whenever trouble comes, hardships, she can still smole genuinely.

Well, to her true friends.

In middle school she learned, not by what her teacher's was taught, not her parents could ever teach her, nor even her fake and plastics friends could ever make her learn. Louis opened her eyes at the real face of the world. What a 12 years old girl can't still have learned, but she did.

After all, maturity is not having most of the years of the one's life, not being older, no, but with pains, hardships, as you walk along the journey of life.

As you get older, Life gets harder.

As you get older, thibgs get better and if not, bitter.

-----____-----

Louis sighed, she's being way to gloomy again, with the weather all nice and warm carrying the summer air with it, even a blind man could feel it's a nice day.

But no, she just got to be all sad and negative.

"Welcome to my life. Damn, when will I ever see the sappy things in my mind?" Louis looked at the window at her left side and just watched the green leaves dances with the wind while singing an unfamiliar song in her mind.

Remembering what she just recently said, she jolted up, stamping his hand on the desk along the way and smiled like an idiot. With a bang, she caught everyone's attention, speacially the teacher of course.

Not noticing this Louis thought the new title for her song. 'Yes! That's it, it will be titled 'Welcome to My Life! I wrote the song describing my life, so the title suits it. Way overthink abiut the title when it was just so simple.'

With a toothy grin and her piercing eyes even more turned sharper, her raven black hair swings ever so lightly as she giddly stumped her feet on the ground lightly. With the sunlight passing through the glass, illuminating her light brown eyes, it was, a beautiful sight.

Apparently, not to our audience. With her smile not matching the looked in her eyes, the students could only see her as extremely weirding them out.

'That looked is so creepy! Who's she gonna kill now?'

'Oh my god, she looked like some pervert.'

The teacher could only face palm at her sudden actions. Apparently, it was a normal occurence, Louis being creepy. She shuddered at the image in front of her.

'Oh my god, she totally looked like a creep who just got a secret gift of porn stash.' Mrs. Florecita grimaced at her thought, it was inappropriate especially that she's a teacher and should think professionally.

"Ms. Ferrer, do you have something in mind that you would want to share with the class?"

Louis' attention was caught on this and bit the inside of her cheek for losing at the moment again.

'If I keep this up, I'll be forever the creep and weird student. Way to go Louis. I'm so proud of myself.' Louis thought and confused on how the hell could she still be sarcastic.

With a sigh she gave her Science teacher polite smile. "No Ma'am, just got carried away again. Sorry."

"Next time, can you keep it subtle? It can be quite... disturbing." Mrs. Florecita said as smiled at the girl.

She had no problem with Louis but sometimes, Louis can be very problematic in discussions. Mrs. Florecita know the girl have the IQ to be the Top of her class, but the girl have issues, not to mention last year when Louis aced every Pre-Test and was accused of cheating.

That's not all, Louis having the background of being a valedictorian in elementary got people's attention in school and she was actually known after beating different schools representatives in different contests and wiped them all.

But, after entering high school, she refused teachers invitations to be the one they'll enter at sifferent events and refusing almost all of them. Almost.

The kid have issues, and she felt that the kid just reached her limit.

"You may sit down now, and be quiet Ms, Ferrer."

"Yes ma'am."

After the bell have rung, students went out of their classrooms except Louis.

"Louis! It's your turn to clean the classroom!"

Fixing her things and putting it inside her bag, she stood up. Looking at the person, it was Jacob Gonzales, the Mathematician. He was taller than Louis, he was 5'8 and she was just 5'6. Thanking the Heavens for making her taller than most girls.

"Dude, that's not fair. Where's the others? Really just me cleaning this massive room?" Louis was joking and Jacob chuckled at his weird classmate.

Jacob knows that Louis was now staying low profile in their senior year, for some unknown reason. Ecen though she became distant which everybody except her friends don't notice. I mean who would?

She's being humorous and weird, which is very unpredictable on which is which. With her facial expression that always looked like Louis is ready to kill and eat you alive but when she smile? She's like a person who couldn't even break the dishes.

Which is totally the opposite.

"Louis, you've been ditching us and going to who knows where everytime. So don't go spouting words about fairness to me."

Louis'shoulder slouched, it was quite true after all but she really need to finished composing today or she'll forget it. "Just this time please?"

"Nope, pretty sure about my answer."

"I'll answer your homework in English."

"Nah, I'm good."

"I'll hook you up with Harley Gonzales. You know, the daughter of Mrs. Gonzales, our Filipino teacher."

"Oh, quite tempting. We haven't been in good terms actually and Har won't talk to me."

"Is that a yes I hear?"

"Then you should really clean that ears of yours. You heared wrong. Still a no." Jacob said and smirk. There's no way he'd say yes.

'I've been taking your turns cleanibg the room idiot and are expecting me to throw away a day off of cleaning for your turns? A rest from the work is good to me.' He thought and smiled triumphantly looking at Louis devastated look.

"You're evil! Who said you're an angel? I'm going to punch the lights out of them." Louis said with a neutral face and tone which got Jacob scared for a second.

"Yeah, and get yourself an arrest warrant. Clean up good 'kay? A meeting will be held here." Picking up his bag and put it on his back while fixing his white collared shirt and blue tie.

Louis could only sigh and nod in agreement while looking down. She hqd been running away from her responsibilities anyway, so it's time to make uo for it.

"Thank you by the way Jacob, for you know, filling up for me." Being like this is making Louis actually uncomfortable. Especially when she was the one saying it and not to one of her trusted friends.

"Welcome, you've got a friend in me Louis." Jacob glanced at Louis to see her looking at him with an unreadable looked. He sighed. "Just, don't know why you're being diatant though. Remember, we will be here when you're feeling blue."

With that Jacob left a quiet Louis.

_________

Louis know she couldn't tell him. She couldn't tell them. Yet. Peraonal problems afterall should not be easily shared.

If heared by the wrong person, they will use it to stab your back.

"Sigh, all of this had made me sweaty now. And I hate it. So sticky." She mumbled, Louis never liked it to get sweaty specially when wearing their school's uniform. They get to stick to the body more.

Walking over to her bag and putting everything from under her desk to her bag, Louis didn't noticed someone entered the room.

Walking over to her, the unknown person run over her hand to her light brown hair. She had a pin in a shaped of rose, it's white color making it more stand out in her her. Her school shoes clicking at the floor was the only thing yoy could her as she stopped behind Louis.

Putting a hand on her right shoulder, she made her pressence known.

"Is this Section-Poseidon?"

"Oh the fridge! Oh shoot, oh shoot!"

Feeling something on her shoulder, Louis' tensed up feeling the hairs on her neck stand up. She will never admit it, but she get scared easily. 'Please don't be a ghost! I should really stop watching horror movies!'

When she heared a firm but feminine voice she lost it and jumped up like a cat, making her bag fall off as well as it's contents.

With her eyes still closed,placed her right hand on her chest. "Don't just approach someone like that! Oh shoot, I could have passed out dude." Louis said while panting as beads of sweat started to form again on her forehead.

'I just finished cleaning and you've made me sweaty again, ugh.'

The unknown person giggled at her reaction. In all honesty, she didn't expect her to be all that frightened or be scared.

"Why are so jumpy anyway? And fridge? Pfft avoiding cursing I see." She asked and looked at Louis quite amused. Taking the image of Louis, she was at lost in Louis sharp piercing eyes and serious that don't seem to fit the way she talks.

"Dude, I'm like the only person in here for about 30 minutes and someone with your way of approaching people scared the lights out of me. I thought you were a ghost! And yes, frankly, I think there's no need to curse at everything you say like people do most days."

She stiffled a laugh at Louis way of explaining. With her nerves still high, Louis couldn't help but flinging her hands as she talk. It was a nervous habit.

Louis looked at the suspect of almost making her faint and was surprised to see Marianne. She's famous, and a person who don't know her, is someone who lives in a rock. And it could be literally.

The person who stands before her is Marianne Jhane Loyola, some call her MJ, the schools Head Official in their Radio Music Production.

Marianne is the one who chooses who goes in, in our school's RMP, be it to be a DJ's, Bands, Soloists, everything who have a talent in music. They must all past her first, then broadcast it to the whole school, if you make them happy you get to be known in here, then to the outside where citizens lurk and if you got to attract them, well congratulations! You're now officially one of the school's Representative in Music.

If you're really lucky, you can win the RMA, Best Radio Music Award, then the Rookie Sensation to the last School's Rising Musician.

Louis was shocked with that, her weirdness switch turned on. "O-oh and right. T-this is actually Section - Poseidon. The wave theme thingy of the room ain't a give away already?" Louis almost slapped herself for acting like that.

'Geez, what's wrong with me?! Oh yeah, I'm no good at talking to strangers.' Louis wiped her forehead with the sleeve of her white long sleeve uniform at the things she do.

Marriane noticed her nervousness and couldn't help to smile softly. Marriane found it quite cute as the girl in front of her fidgeting her fingers at her sides. "Just confirming it. The school's RMP and the school's band Herzs will be having a meeting about next months event." She looked around the room while talking and admiring the theme of the room. It created a calming atmosphere. When her eyes landed on Louis again, she was unprepared to see her looking all calm and serious. "I'm sure you've heard about the event."

It was not a secret after all, it was an annual event in every school the Musical Fight.

Where every Schools qualified musicians proved who's the best. Be it about there school or themselves.

Louis was quite aware of it and will be there actually to support there school. Especially, as the band Dr!ven will be the one they'll go against to.

"I'm quite aware Miss Marianne. I hope Herz, got something up on there sleeve against them though." Louis commented, she didn't need to sugar coat her words. It was true after all.

They can't beat Dr!ven. Yet.

Marriane sighed. She didn't need Louis to remind her. This is why she held the meeting, to come up with a plan. They needed to win this time.

'I won't let them embarrass our school this time. I can feel it, this time, things will be different.' Marianne was sure about this.

"Well, goodluck. You'll definitely gonna need it, and tell Herz to not be gullible again yeah? Their song got stolen 'cause of it." Louis picked up her bag and her thibgs that got scattered along the way.

Not looking enough as she really want to go home. Missing an important thing that went under the chair on her back.

Her original Songs.

Standing up, she faced Marianne and gave her a salute and a dimpled smiled thay may or may have not made Marianne's heart leaped.

"Lock the room after you're all done okay? I don't wanna get myself have silent treatment from Jacob. Sheesh, I won't hear the end of it from my friends." Slinging her backpack on her back, she waved her goodbye and walked away. "Oh! And I know you'll overcome this Miss Marianne." Louis stopped at the front door and glance at her. "You just sometimes need help from other people."

With Louis last words, Marianne was put in thought. 'Then who's help I will need? I got the Herz, the RMP sigh, who else? Who else is out there?'

"I still got 15 minutes before they all arrive and I got to stop thinking too much." Sitting beside Louis chair, she slumped down sighing. Leaning her back as the chair tilted her eyes caught something.

"Huh? A notebook?" Sitting properly again, she stood up then picked up the notebook. She deadpanned seeing the cover of the notebook.

"Really? My Little Pony? Who uses kids notebook in high school?" Opening the notebook to see what's inside and maybe Marianne could find the name of the owner seeing no name at the front. "I mean really, notebook with covers like that is like my 10 year old sister. The owner must be really weird."

_________

Louis who was walking down the side of the street suddenly sneeze and felt something.

"Really? Whoever you are, who's talking behind my back, prepare for karma." Louis deadpanned as she got at the end of the street and turned right to enter her house.

'Sigh, I know I walk fast but I think bringing my bike would be better. Especially going home 30 minutes late and it's already 5:30 p.m.' Louis though remembering the one time she went home really late after falling asleep at the music room.

Passing three drunk bulky men and taking a glance at Louis, she knew they were bqd news. They started following her and good thing, she trust her intincts qnd before they could even get close to her she already lost them at an alley way that was on the street way home.

She shuddered at the memory.

Going straight to her room as her parents is about to arrive half an hour she opened her bag immediately to get her song book. It was full of her original songs.

It wasn't the only notebook she had her songs written but she was almost filling the pages when she could not find it anywhere in her bag.

"Where is it? I swear I put it in there!" Rummaging through her back over and over again she finally accepted that her notebook was missing. She put down her bag in annoyance.

"Yes, I know that forgetfullness is my great point and all... but why now?!" She pulled her hair in attempt to let her frustration out.

"Oh my geez, who could have gotten it? No, no, no! Please be someone decent..."

Louis slumped down on her bed with her eyes glued at her galaxy painted ceiling. She really felt like everything was ending. No, Louis was sure, eveything is ending.

Her peaceful life, her normal life, her being the weird and creepy student in school and her being the waste mind in her school and family. It really felt like things is about to change tomorrow.

And Louis is not too happy about it.

Hearing the door opened from downstairs, her parents went in.

"Mom! Could I skip school tomorrow?!" Louis shouted without moving an each from her 'T' shape position on the bed.

Hearing a 'no' shouted in the house Louis frown.

"The fridge.. I'm doom."
