*RIIIIIIIIINNNGGGGGGGG..
*RRRRRRIIINNGGGGGGG..
*RRRRRRIIINNGGGGGGG...
I get up on my bed and turn off the alarm clock.
It's only 5 in the morning.
I am really excited to go to school that's why I wake up soooooo early.
It is the first day of school so that I don't need to be late.
I am so excited especially last night, I am not able to sleep very well because today has finally come.
Today is the day were a will feel to be a real student.
I pack my things before go downstairs.
When all is already settled, I finally go to kitchen and eat my breakfast.
While walking down the stair, shocked enveloped in mom's face with letter o in on her mouth.
I simply smile, I know it, she is shocked because I wake up early.
"Good morning Mommy." I greeted her. And kissed her chick
"Sarid, Is that really you?" She ask with confusion written all over her face.
I laughed at the thought of my mom's really asking if I am her son.
"Of course Mom, its just I am so excited that's why I wake up early." I answered while laughing.
My mom really is amazed about the time I woke up.
I can't blame her, because she used to see me around 9 to 10 in the morning that's the earliest time that I woke up. But now I really break my own record because it's only around 6 in the morning.
"Because you're too early today, I want to join with your breakfast. C'mon son let's go?" After she said that she walked in the kitchen to prepare the plates.
She put egg and bacon on my plate and a slice of bread, she also prepared a coffee for me.
"You put an effort mom, thank you." I am really grateful because it is visible that she want to take care of me in every tiny single detail.
"It's your first day so eat a lot my baby." She said that make my forehead creased.
"Mom! I am no longer a baby, I am a man now stop talking like I am an elementary student." I groan because I hate it when she called me baby.
"Nah! You're my baby eventhough you have a girlfriend." She answered while pouting.
I groan for the second time because of annoyance. Since I don't want to ruin my day I decided to stay quiet. I didn't answer her because I know I can't defeat her, she have a goddamn reason in every words that I will say, that's my mom.
I chew my food silently.
I once caught mom's glances on me. But I ignored it all.
"Bye mom!" I said after I finished my breakfast. I walk towards the garage and used my new montero sport, it's my dad's gift last year when I celebrated my birthday. I do have a license so my mom didn't have to worry anymore.
I wave at mom when I am inside the car and started the engine.
While driving the image of the girl I met in the mall flash in my mind. There's a part of me that hoping for the girl to be my schoolmate.
Sezia Alastair
What a beautiful name, it really suits her.
I am thinking too much that's why I stop the car near the school.
I parked it on the side of the road and took out the handkerchief inside my bag. I stared at the handkerchief on my hand.
Everytime I think of it's owner my heart beats so fast and loud.
I didn't know what does it mean because never had I experience of having a girlfriend before.
This girl has really something, since that day I can't pass a day without thinking about her.
When I am satisfied on staring on her handkerchief I put it inside my bag and decided to go to school .
When I enter the school I can't explain what I am feeling right now. It's a mix emotions. I am glad and afraid at the same time.
Glad because I can now have my freedom and I can study in a new surrounding not only the four corners of our house.
Hankook State University is really big and prestigious University.
I got out of the car and started walking in the hallway.
There's a few student whose chatting with their fellow student. I excused myself when I pass the two girl who's talking in the hallway, I need to go to the admin's office to get my schedules, but it's taking too long of Walking still I didn't find the office.
I approach the girl in the hallway who's walking alone.
"Ahm, excuse me miss? But do you know the admin's office?" I ask politely to the girl
I don't know if I am dreaming but I think I see the girl blush a bit.
" A-a-at the se-se-second floor, turn ri-ri-right the last door is the admin's office." The girl answered.
"Thank you." Smile at her and wave before I headed to the admin's office.
*Knock
*Knock
I opened the door and found a woman in the late 30's seating at the swivel chair, she looked so scary.
With all the courage I ask her about my schedule.
"Good morning madam, can I have my schedule?" I ask nervously.
"Who are you?" The woman ask with a stern voice and scary tone.
"Clovis Sarid Stewart madam."
"Stewart? Are you the son of the owner of the Stewart's Construction supply and Services?" She asked curiously.
"Yes Madam." As long as I can hid it, I don't want them to know about my families real state but I need to answer her question.
"Oh! I'm sorry hijo, come here you can sit." The admin's facial expression soften. I don't know what's the matter
"Here's your schedule and also the school map. Your classroom is in the 4th floor. Welcome hijo." The admin said with a very soft voice unlike her to her voice recently.
"Thank you Madam." I answered and walk out the office.
It didn't take me too long to find my classroom, I choose the sit at the back of the room near the glass wall.
After a while my classmates started to go inside and not too long of waiting the woman in the early 40's enter the classroom.
We all stood up to greet her.
"GOOD MORNING MADAM" we all greet in unison.
"Good morning class, since this is the first day I want to know the transferees for this year. I looked around and no one is standing except me.
" So your the only one?" The professor ask me.
"Yes ma'am," I shyly answered.
"Kindly introduce yourself."
"I'm Clovis Sarid Stewart. Thank you."
I introduced myself and take to my sit.
"Mr. Stewart I am Mrs. Clara Gutierrez your adviser." She introduced herself.
"Okay class, I heard it's his first time attending school so please, let him enjoy your company."
After my introduction, our professor started talking about the rules and regulations of the school as if it didn't discuss in the orientation that they conducted before the school days begun.
In the middle of her discussion, a women entered the classroom without greeting us or even our professor. She go straight to the chair next to me and put her bag on the table.
"Excuse me, can you atleast please greet us good morning?" The teacher said with so much annoyance.
"Just go on miss." The woman said with a cold voice.
I looked at her direction immediately and glance at her.
I almost drop my mouth when I realized who is she.
The girl I am looking for a long time is now right beside me.
