Chapter 3 - Chapter 2

Ace Hayate Alonzo

"Are you new here?"

"Ah, yes."

He was about to speak but our teacher suddenly came in.

"Good morning class. I'm Ms. Criselia Oliveros. Just call me Miss Oliveros. I'm your class adviser for the whole year."

I wrote her name in one of my notebooks. So, I cannot forget her name.

"The subject that I'm going to handle is your science subject. Well, since its first day today. Introduce yourselves here at front one by one."

So, my classmates started introducing themselves. I'm nervous, maybe they will laugh because of my name, phew.

I stand up because I'm next.

"Good morning, I'm Ace Hayate Alonzo. I'm from Monte Claro High school. I hope we could all be friends."

I bowed and returned to my seat.

After introducing ourselves, our teacher discuss about the school rules and regulations. I listen to what she is discussing, I'm afraid of being scolded. I'm a good boy.

**Kriiiing!!!!!**

"Okay class, you may take your snacks," Miss Oliveros said.

"Yow! Hayate, let's go to the cafeteria," Elric said.

"Uhhh.."

Is it like this in this school?

"D—D-Don't mind me. I'm not that hungry yet."

"Oh, come on, you're my new friend. Let's go. So, I can show you around the school too."

Well, he do have a point.

"Okay, okay, let's go."

We went down to the cafeteria.

He ordered some snacks. I took out the money from my pocket, my allowance for today. 25 pesos, what can I buy with this? Never mind, I'm not that hungry anyway.

"Oh, Hayate? You're not going to buy anything?" Elric asked.

"Never mind, maybe next time."

"My treat," he looked at the lady. "Ate, one more fita crackers and c2, please."

"Elric, don't mind me---"

"I'm like this. It's okay," and he smiled.

"This is embarrassing. I'll pay you tomorrow."

"Don't pay me. It's my treat. Don't be embarrass."

We sat at the table by the corner.

"Uh Hayate----"

"Just call me 'Ace'. Hayate is kind of awkward, I'm not used to it. Only my Mom and my siblings call me by that name."

"Ah, your name is cool."

"Cool? What's cool about it? I don't understand why my parent's named me Hayate."

Elric just laughed.

**Bosgh**

We turn our heads towards the entrance of the cafeteria. I saw a girl wearing a red t-shirt entered. Every student that was blocking her way immediately went towards the side. What's going on? There are two men in black that are following her. Wow.

"Elric, who's that girl who just entered?" I asked.

"Uh, that girl? It's no other than Ms. Rokia Dizon."

"She looks arrogant."
