I wake up so early that I think I am the only one in the main hallway and the other students are not here yet.
Imagine you woke up at 5 am and go wash yourself and get ready for school and then you leave at 6 am and you realize that the classes will start at 7:30 am.
Until several minutes I already see some students are now entering in the school. They are few of them.
Also I am thinking again about that letter that Nathan gave me.
Why me? Yes I admit that I am good at making illustrations or some art stuffs (ehe), but why me? WHY?!
**Several Minutes Later**
Its flag ceremony time. We are here at this huge gymnasium of the school. The stage was so large and it does have like party lights in it. What a rich school if you ask me in a budget of 12k pesos.
"All students! Go to your sections quickly and fall in line and find your height!"
...
*What section am I?*
Damn it! I don't know what section am I. I can see my grade section which is Grade 10. But they have a lot of sections, 3.
And then I see Samantha running. Maybe she was late?
"HEY!!!"
"Oh Ray! Whats up!"
"I am fine!..."
"... Can I ask what section I am in?" I ask Samantha instead. I am so shy to ask those teachers LOL.
"I don't know either..."
*Oh o k a y*
Maybe we will just go on a random line of students.
We are on the 2nd Line, so I guess this is the 2nd section?
"Uhm..."
*WHY THESE PEOPLE LIKE THEY ARE LOOKING AT ME?! WTH?! THEY ARE LOOKING AT ME! I AM AT THE END OF THE LINE...*
Jeez, they like I am gonna killed by this...
**After Flag Ceremony**
FINALLY!
"Okay students of Grade 10. Please fall in line and I will announce your section..."
Oh, so they are no specific section each students yet? I thought they already had a section.
I guess this teacher in the front will be also our teacher. She is kinda old in my opinion and looks like she is now a mother...
*Why am I thinking this kind of things?*
"... Fiona Ascienda, Section A-10..."
"... Dean Cartagenas, Section C-10..."
**20 Minutes later... **
"Now lets go for the boys!"
Oh god, Finally! It took too long considering that there is many students in Grade 10.
Oh also...
"... Samantha Sanchez, Section B-10..."
Samantha is in Section B-10.
...
"...Ray Diaz!"
"YES?!"
"... Section B-10..."
Oh, we are in the same section... Not bad. At least I have a person to talk with comfortably.
Samantha was on the last row, and they are no students have been sitted yet on that row so maybe I will go sit beside her.
*REMEMBER KALE! THIS IS NORMAL!*
" O-oh hey! We are in the same section" I said to Samantha.
"T-thats nice!"
After several minutes, I guess this is all the students of B-10. I am gonna say they are a lot of girls than the boys of this section. Also I noticed that the row we are sitting at is like...
... we Samantha and I only sitted at this row.
I also noticed that some of the students are looking at Samantha, especially girls.
*Oh... I see it why...*
"U-uh... Samantha... They are looking at you..." I said to her.
"Yes I know. Just let them be. I am used to it."
Damn this students... They didn't even know what it feels like in that situation.
"Is that the girl? The slut?"
"Keep quiet!"
"Who is that beside her?"
Oh come on. This is killing me off. Until now they are still talking about this drama.
Also don't call her a slut...
After a minute, I guess our adviser...
"Goodmorning, Class!"
"GOODMORNING, MAAM GINA!"
Wow... what a good student.. Bleh
If you ask me, I will not expect that this student will not be good to be friends with. I know where this is going. I have been in this life since elementary and Junior Highschool. I know the bad and the good ones. But based on their face, nah.
But I should remind myself that don't judge people by their looks.
"Okay before we start, you know what we will do..."
"INTRODUCE YOURSELF!"
Why everyone is like they are struggling introducing yourself. You are just introducing yourself and thats it.
Back when I was Junior Highschool. Whenever the adviser said :
"Introduce yourself..."
The students go like they don't want to. I understand that they are shy or just lazy to do it. But its so simple to introduce yourself. Kinda piss me off if you ask me.
"Lets star at the back!... "
*Oh... nevermind... *
"... Girl at the back! Come at front and introduce yourself..."
So Samantha go to the front and introduce yourself...
*You can do it!*
"I am Samantha Sanchez, 16 years old..."
"What is your hobbies Samantha?" the teacher ask
"... W-writing novels..."
*W-what?!*
"... Okay thanks!"
What did she says? Her hobby is writing novels? Woah. Didn't expect that!
Now I am more nervous!
"... Next, you, boy at the back also!"
*Okay... you can do this Kale!*
"My name is Ka-"
*NO NO! NOT THAT ONE!*
"OH NO NO! M-My name is... Ray! RAY DIAZ!"
Oh look, looks like the teacher was also shocked... Sorry lol.
"Pfft..."
Now I hear some students that they are laughing. I understand that. I am stupid sometimes...
Oh not sometimes... ALWAYS.
"... y-your age and hobbies?"
"I am 17 years old and my hobby is writ-"
*NO!!! NOT AGAIN! COME ON!*
"NO! I mean... Playing videogames!!!"
"... Okay... Calm down. HAHAHA!" the teacher said.
Damn I understand now why introducing yourself is hard. Its hard when you are hiding your identity...
I see Samantha that they are smiling at me...
*OKAY KALE! LOVE IS STUPID! WHY MY HEART IS BEATING SO FAST!*
I go back to my sit after. Man I am sweating like hell.
Dude... This woman still laughing so hard...
"You are so funny HAHAHA!"
"I mean you look like you are struggling in introducing yourself HAHAHAHA!!!"
*Okay okay I understand. I am sorry okay?*
But hey... at least she is happy unlike her past right?
Oh wait...
"Oh Samantha..."
"You can just call me Sam!"
Oh wow. I think thats much better.
"Oh... S-sam..."
"Yes?"
"You said that your hobby is writing novels right?" I ask. I am just curious...
"Oh... Yea! I love writing novels!"
Thats rare to see a student who was also writing a novel. I mean for me.
"Why you ask?"
"Oh no! U-uh like you know... I am interested in some books or novel like... y-yeah"
*Nah*
"Wow! What is your favorite novel so far?" she asked
"Oh. For me is God of Beast by NatNat!"
*It was a novel by Nathan. I love it because of its dirty joke. Thats all...*
"Oh!!! Mine for me now is... Love Hurts by KaleD!"
Oh...
"... To be honest that book was the one who inspired me to make a novel!"
Aw... That was nice to hear not gonna lie. I appreciate that some people are inspired to write a novel because of my book.
"... Sadly, the news said that the author of Love Hurts will not write another book 2 of the novel and will not write anymore... "
*I am sorry.*
"... Oh by the way! What are you reading until now?" she asked.
"Ah! I am reading Fantasia Fiance by Yui"
"Wha-"
"Yea! Its a good novel! You should read it!"
Wait a second... looks like she seems nervous right now... Did I say something wrong?
"U-uh? Are you okay?" I ask
"OH! I AM OKAY! Oh about that novel... Thats nice! Ha ha ha!"
*What the heck-*
"Hey, you 2 at the back! You are a little bit too noisy!"
*Oof. Sorry Maam. LOL*
"Okay. Next!"
...
"My name is Hannah Madrigal. 16 Years old. My hobby is playing volleyball!"
...
"There she is..." Sam said suddenly.
What? What do you mean?
"She is the one who makes dirt out of my name..."
I can see that she is kinda mad...
Oh don't tell me...
That girl in the front was looking at Sam like she have problems with her...
Oh I get it...
*So this is the bitch...*
"Is this the bitch?" I ask Sam.
"PFFT! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" She suddenly laughs so loud.
"WOA WOA! Chill chill! Someone will hear us!"
"Ms. Samantha!"
*Okay here is the mad teacher...*
"Oops... I am sorry Maam..."
Damn, she is so loud. Did I say something funny? I mean that lady was the one who make fun of Sam.
Or in short. A bitch.
I already encountered a lot of girls that has the same attitude as her. Back when I was in Junior Highschool. I have this classmate name Gabrielle, she is like a super-tsundere girl you will know. The bad point about that classmate is that she is making fun of me by spreading fake news about me. Same as Sam. One of the worst is that I confess to a girl in Seniot Highschool. Like WTH?
I mean. Whenever a girl is beautiful or cute or sexy, whatever. Every people will almost believe in what they say.
Thats society. And thats true.
They are judging people by the looks.
It sucks.
**Recess Time**
The canteen here was so huge. It almost looks like a restaurant. And...
Oh boy, didn't expect this but the food here is almost expensive. Its 100 pesos for a fried chicken with rice and 150 pesos for a sisig. It looks like you are in a famous restaurant. Well you can tell by the looks of this canteen.
My budget was only 150 pesos. And fun fact that I don't eat lunch that much. I only eat at recess and dinner.
I just buy sunny side up egg with rice.
*Im not on a diet okay...*
The seat and tables was almost occupied and they are only a few of them that are available. But I see Same eating alone at the back...
Maybe I will go there and have sit there instead...
*ITS NOT THAT I CARE ABOUT HER! I MEAN SHE LOOKS LIKE ALONE RIGHT?!*
"Can I sit here?"
"Oh sure!"
"Oh. T-thanks!"
*Eat*
*Eat*
*Eat*
I also noticed that she is only eating a biscuits. Its a cookie.
*This is very weird... *
"Hey... Ray..."
"Oh... What?"
"W-what are currently reading right now again?"
"A novel?"
"Yea..."
"Its Fantasia Fiance by Yui. Why?"
"O-oh... Nothing..."
What is happening? Is there something wrong on what I am currently reading? Well. We have different tastes in terms of picking a novel to read.
"Can we talk later? I need to go now..." she said and then she leaves.
"Oh... o-okay..."
*Now I am lonely :c *
Nah. I am used to it.
Why did she leaves suddenly? Did I say something wrong? Or Did I ask something she didn't like?
What a weird girl...
But at the same time. She is good to talk with...
*REMEMBER KALE! LOVE IS TRASH! LOVE OS TRASH!*
Oh by the way. I still have the letter that Nathan gave me.
Maybe I will go to the publishing company to explain this. I am just curious. Also I want to see this author. Also Nathan said that she is a girl. N i c e.
But seriously. I need to see this author. Because why am I accepting this offer to be her illustrator even tho I didnt even meet her yet.
Also I am lazy sometimes. So maybe I am not good at this offer.
I will go to the company after school tommorow.
**After Recess**
(Samantha's Point of View)
Ray is still not here yet. Recess is almost finish and all the student is here. He is the only one left.
Also, I am sorry for leaving you suddenly, Ray.
Its hard to explain that...
"I am Yui"
