Chapter 1: First Day

"Piper wakes up!!" her dad wakes her up as he shakes his daughter who is sleeping loudly. Piper slowly opens her eyes and looks around.

"What time it is?" Piper asked her dad while looking at her glasses. Her daddy gave her the glasses and she quickly wears them and looks around.

"It's already 6:30 and your brother already left you," her father said while going down as Piper starts to panic because she is going to be late. She mentally curses and she starts to take a bath.

"Hey hey eat!" her father said but Piper ignores him and gets a piece of bread while she kisses her father's cheeks before she goes out.

"Bye dad, see you later!" Piper said and she runs going to the bus station. Piper starts to hum and put her earphones on while browsing music in her playlist.

She smiles as she heard her favorite idol song. She smiles while listening to it and waiting for the bus to arrive. She groans when she saw the time, it's already 7:00 and she is going to late for the first day of class.

"That dumb, he left me" Piper complained and she stands up when the bus already stops. She sits at the back of the bus while listening to her favorite idol girl group.

"TWICE song is really good" Piper whispered and she flinched when someone taps her. She saw a good looking boy and she notices that they have the same uniform.

"Can you please lower your music, it's disturbing me" the boy said that made Piper raise her eyebrows. The boy furrowed his eyebrows and pull out Piper's earphones.

"I said lower your music, another K-pop fan tsk," the boy said that made Piper pissed. She ignores him and she even makes her music louder that made the boy annoyed.

He closes his book and looks at the girl who is already singing along with the music. He palmed himself and look away, he wants to be rude at her but he can't the girl is too cute.

He complained because every time he saw a cute girl it always is a K-op fan. He really can't find a girl that is an otaku like him. Well, it's not a book that he is reading but a manga, specifically a romance manga.

"Maximillian Academy" the bus announced and Piper stands up the same as the boy beside her. She glares at him and walks first before he said something.

The boy just smirks and gets out of the bus while looking at the girl who is happy to get inside the school.

"What an interesting girl," He said and he just shook his head before his father caught him late in his class.

"Piper!" Piper looks back and she smiles when her former classmates wave at her. She waves back and looks into the board of sections to determine her section for this year.

"Finally you are here" a familiar voice that made Piper look back and she kick her twin brother legs. He groans while massaging his leg.

"You left me, what a good twin brother I have," Piper said and her twin brother Pip just smile at her. Pip wraps his arms around Piper and they continue looking at the board.

"Well I just want to ruin your mood for this day," Pip said and Piper just elbowed him that made him groan in pain.

"We are classmates again, let's go," Piper said and she drags her brother going to their room. The people around them greet Piper and she smiles back at them.

She is kind of popular at school. Because of some things, she is a campus goddess more like she is the face of the school when it comes to writing contests and the president of publication.

"Hey pig-" before Pip could finish his words, Piper hit him with her notebook.

"Don't call me to pig you dumb" Piper said and Pip just laughs at her. He looks around if his best buddies already arrive but he guesses he is at his father's office.

"Dude let's play after class," Zaizen said and Pip look at him, Zaizen is Pip's teammates in volleyball. While Peppa is at the publication, Pip is on the volleyball team. He is not the captain but he is one of the skilled players.

"Sure dude anyway do you see Jenrick? I text him that he need to straight-up go our class" Pip said and Zaizen checks his phone if their friend texts him.

"Nope he didn't text me neither," Zaizen said, Piper is just listening to them and tap Pip's shoulders.

"Who is Jenrick?"

"Ah Jenrick, he is our friend from the other school but he transferred today," Pip said and Piper nodded her head. Well, she doesn't care about any of Pip's friend.

"Where are you, girls?" Piper said while typing it on her phone. Her best friends are still not around. She looks around and their classmates are busy talking to each other, catching up from their summer break.

Piper pouts as she looks at her phone. She didn't know that someone is already at her back ready to surprised her.

"Piper!" Piper flinched when someone from her back hugs her while saying her second name that made her smile.

"Natty girl!" Piper said and they hug like a magnet while Pip and Zaizen look at them with disgust on their face.

"Gosh, they look like a couple that first time meeting each other" Pip said and Zaizen nodded his head to agree. The girls glared at them and they just hug each other.

"They just see each other yesterday," Zaizen said while playing at his phone but he groans as Natty hit his head.

"Why did you hit me?!"

"You left me yesterday, I told you to wait for me," Natty said while glaring at him. Zaizen just looks at Pip and ask for help.

"Hey don't drag me, it's your girl anyway," Pip said while pushing Zaizen away.

"You two are talking for so long and I just walk away" Zaizen explained and Natty sit beside him. She can't understand her boyfriend, sometimes he is sweet sometimes he is also cold.

"Then what did you after that?" Natty said while raising her eyebrows.

"Uhm I play with Pip...?" Zaizen said and Natty looks at Pip

"Hey don't look at me like that. I didn't know you two have a date" Pip defend himself. They just knock it off and talk how their summer break.

"Natty girl where is Catherine? She didn't text you?" Piper said and Natty shook her head. The teacher suddenly gets inside and look around.

"Okay so welcome to this class, I'm Mr. John Sy and I'm your adviser for this year as a senior. Anyway, raise your hand if your name will be called" Mr. Sy said and he opened his class list. He starts with the letter A

"Piper Alvarez" Mr. Sy called and Piper raises her hand. Mr. Sy looks at her with a smile on his face

"I heard a lot of you Ms. Alvarez, I'm glad that I encounter a student like you," Mr. Sy said and Peppa nodded her head with a sweet smile.

"Sir what about me? Are you also glad that I'm here" Pip raises his hands that made the whole class laugh at him

"Pip Peter Alvarez, I don't think I'm that glad. Knowing your image being the joker or what so ever" Mr. Sy said with a silly smile on his face. He knows his student because all of them are already seniors and they prove something to the academy.

"Anyway let's continue," Mr. Sy said and he continues to call out names when he called a familiar surname.

"Catherine Azi Hughes," Mr. Sy said and he flinched when someone raises her hand while getting inside of the classroom.

"Our future Ms. Universe, why are you late?" Mr. Say said with a smile on his face. The way that the girl gets inside of the classroom made the boys fall for her. She is walking like a queen with her godlike beauty.

"I'm sorry sir, the traffic outside is pretty hectic" the softness in her voice melts the whole class.

"It's okay Ms. Hughes sit down with your friends," Mr. Sy said and she quickly sits down beside Peppa.

"Did you finished Itaewon Class?" Piper asked and Catherine nodded her head while smiling at them. She is smiling but the eyebags on her eyes are visible.

"You sneaky, how is the drama? It is good?" Natty asked and Catherine nodded her head. Mr. Sy saw the three girls giggling at the back that made him cough.

The three-stop talking and sit straight, smiling at Mr. Sy. He looks again at his attendance sheet and he smiles to read the name.

"Jenrick Maximillian," Mr. Sy said and the class starts to talk.

"Maximillian? That is our school name" Natty said and the two don't know either.

"Anyway let's go on, Zaizen Nakamoto," Mr. Sy said and Zaizen raises his hand.

"Natalia Isabel Reyes" Natty raises her hand and Mr. Sy finished the attendance and he introduces the classroom rules and regulations.

"I'm also your Physical Education teacher so we are not only seeing each other on homeroom but also on the subject. Anyway I have few rules" Mr. Sy said and he walks through his students. He taps the sleeping student while talking.

"Sleeping is allowed if we are doing written work. Eating is allowed but shares it with the whole class" Mr. Sy said that made his student smile

"Sir Sy is cool," Natty said and the two nodded their head.

"Going in and out is allowed but when it's emergency or you gonna do some business in the toilet. I'm not strict but if you want me then I will be strict. Are we clear?" Mr. Sy said and the whole class answered yes to him.

"Good and little introduction about Physical Education- Oh you are late," Mr. Sy said, the eyes of the whole class land on the boy who is sweating from running.

"U-Uhm," he said and Piper was shocked to see the boy earlier on the bus.

Catherine notices the reaction from Piper.

"Do you know him?" Catherine asked and Piper looks at Catherine.

"No, but I saw him earlier. He was beside me at the bus, that rude boy" Piper said and the two look at each other.

"Dude why are you late?" Zaizen asked and Natty looks at him.

"Do you also know him?" Natty asked and Zaizen, Pip nodded their heads.

"He is our friend," Pip said that made Piper look again at him. The boy is looking at her with a small smile on his face.

"Oh my gosh he is handsome"

"Yeah girl he looks sweaty but he still looks good"

"Is he transferred?"

"Okay class quiet, introduce yourself," Mr. Sy said and he made the new boy stand in front of the class. He bows and smiles at them.

"Oh my gosh I think I like him"

"Those attractive smile oh my"

"Hi I'm Jenrick Maximillian," he said and he flashes again his brightest smile that made the girls giggle.

"He is our Director's second son. Be good to him" Mr. Sy said with a smile on his face.

Piper froze on her seat and she is going crazy. She can't believe that she glares at him earlier.

"Yeah but please treat me like a normal student," he said while smiling at them, his eyes land on Piper who is pretending writing in her notebook.

Piper feels that someone is looking at her and she just close her eyes.

"Ms. Alvarez, can you lead Mr. Maximillian later?" Mr. Sy said that made Piper look at him and slowly nodded her head.

"Mr. Maximillian she is the former president last year and I'm hoping that she is still our president," Mr. Sy said while smiling at Piper.

"Oh really?" Jenrick said while smiling. Mr. Sy made him seat beside Piper and he took a glance at her then he faces in front.

"Nice meeting you," he said, still his eyes on the blackboard. Piper just ignores him and she is praying that the day would end quickly.
