12 and 10 observed the old man with gray hair and chocolate skin as he walked majestically down the hallway. The man halted his steps and stopped in front of a door.
"We are here" the man said.
12 and 10 carefully looked from the back of the man as he knocked on the door.
*knock* *knock*
Suddenly the door slowly opened and a woman in glasses came into sight. She smiled at the man and 12 and 10 who was hiding behind the man caught her attention.
"Is it them?" The woman asked gently.
"Yes" the man replied back.
"Come in!" The woman said excitedly as she walked to 12 and 10.
10 and 12 flinched as the woman walked up to them. The woman saw this and stopped from her action and put on a confused face to the two.
"What's wrong" the woman asked.
"Im so sorry Ms. Lauren they just experienced something very traumatic" the man said as he wiped his eyes in a dramatic way.
"Traumatic?" 12 said, but immediately got shut up as 10 put his hand on her mouth and glared at her.
"Oh is that so? How sad... you two are so young..." the woman said with sadness in her tone.
"Well you can trust me! My name is Lauren and I'll be taking care of you two starting this day" the woman said and offered her hand to the two.
12 and 10 looked at the hand in front of them as they looked at each other confused. The man earlier tapped 10's back and gestured his hand on what to do.
10 let out a small 'ahh' and grabbed the woman's hand and shook it in return.
"Nice to meet you" 10 said.
The woman next offered her hand to 12. 12 looked confused at the hand and though 'why is she giving me her hand?'. 10 nudged 12 and gestured his hand like what the man did earlier.
12 grabbed the woman's hand but didn't shook it she continued to look at 10. 10 put his hand together and shook it.
12 finally got it but used a little bit of force, causing the woman to flinch.
"Ah ah it hurts" the woman said silently but the smile on her face didn't leave. It was obvious she was in pain.
"Im sorry!" 12 shouted as soon as 10 pinched her side.
"It's okay... but it seems you have quite the brute force" the woman said as she held her swollen hand.
"Im sorry to ask but may i know who's 12 and 10 between you two?" The woman added.
"She is 12 and I'm 10" 10 explained.
"Ohhh, then please enter the room" the woman said as she walked back inside the room.
"Then i shall take my leave" the old man said, "do please be careful 12 and 10" he added and stared intensely to the two and walked away, his shoes echoing across the hallway.
"Sir Gabriel is still so charismatic till this day" the woman said.
"What do you mean?" 10 asked.
"Well since i was a kid he was already here" the woman explained.
"But come in!" The woman said excitedly.
The woman came inside the room as 10 and 12 followed behind.
They entered the room and saw other people inside sitting in chairs. They were wearing the same clothing as 10 and 12 and had their focus on the two new faces.
"I don't think we have enough time for introductions since it's almost lunch but they are you're new classmates so please take care of them, then i shall take my leave" the woman said softly.
10 and 12 stood silent on their positions as the other people stared at the two carefully.
"Do something" 12 said as he nudged 10.
10 looked around and saw two empty chair at the front side of the room.
"There" 10 whispered to 12.
10 grabbed 12's hand and walked to the empty chairs.
Each step they take the eyes followed. 10 was doing his best to not get intimidated and continued to walk, while 12 used her hand to hide her face from the eyes.
10 and 12 sat down silently avoiding the eyes around them. A few minutes passed and 10 couldn't take it anymore and returned the stares to the people.
The people flinched as 10 looked intensely at those staring causing the eyes to decrease.
12 still held onto 10's hand as she hid her face with her hand.
The awkward atmosphere finally stopped when the bell rang. Everybody stood up and started acting like giddy people.
Some people walked outside some walked up to 10 and 12 with smiles on their faces. But one of them seem to be unbothered and continued to have that serious intimidating face.
"What's you're name?"
"Where are from?"
"Why did you start class late?"
"How do you know Sir Gabriel?"
"You're so handsome!"
"Are you single?"
"Wanna have lunch with us?"
"Wanna go with us to the cafe later after class?"
"What's you're number?"
"What's you're type?"
Every girl at the class bombarded 10 with these questions not noticing the girl at her side holding his hand.
12 finally decided to not hide and looked at her side to see 10 but instead saw girls surrounding him. Her hand stuck between two girls hips.
"Uhm..." 10 looked at them confused and surprised.
"I don't think i can answer any of you're questions that fast..." 10 added.
"Then what's your name?" One of the girls asked.
"10" 10 said.
The girls suddenly laughing out loud.
"Stop joking haha!" They said.
"No really and here beside me i-" 10's sentence got cut off when he felt the hand he was holding was not there anymore but is replaced by a hand of a girl with curly brown hair that looked at him lustfully.
10 immediately removed his hand from the girl on which caused to girl to look surprised.
"Wanna have lunch with me?" The girl asked holding 10's hand again.
10 didn't even meet the girl's eyes and just tried to find 12.
"What are you looking at?" The girl asked as she looked at her back and saw 12 frozen in place looking straight in front.
"KYA! Who?!" The girl screamed and moved away from 12 who was still frozen in place.
"Uhm who are you and where did you just come from?" The girl asked.
12 turned her head like a doll with her face sweating and trembling.
"This is 12 she came with me" 10 explained as he grabbed 12's hand.
"Why is she so weird?!" The girl added.
"Wha?" 10 asked confused.
"She just doesn't know how to talk with others at first" he added.
"Hmm..." the girl said as she observed 12.
'She's quite pretty' the girl thought when suddenly her eyes fell onto the two entangled hands.
'Are they dating?! This bad! I finally had the chance to get revenge to my ex boyfriend!' She thought to herself.
The girl intentionally blocked 12 from 10's sight and removed their entangled hands.
"My name's Clara by the way" she said as she offered her hand and lowering her body to show her cleavage to 10 expecting some reaction but 10 didn't seem to have any thought about it and just grabbed her hand for a handshake.
'Gotcha!' The girl said in her mind.
10 was forcibly grabbed by the girl getting dragged outside.
"Let's have lunch together~" Clara said.
"But i need to be together with h-"
"Don't worry my friends will bring her along just stay by my side ok~?"
"Aahhh i feel dizzy... support me to the cafeteria"
The girl rested her head to 10's shoulder. Surprisingly 10 let her because he was too busy in his thoughts thinking.
'What's a cafeteria?!'
