"Hey … never mind you guys don't make noise," Algo shouted telling his three friends to stop his behavior. I keep smiling looking at them. I'm starting to understand it. The three youths beside me were probably in the same gang as Algo. And what I noticed was that Algo was more dominant among them. That means Algo is the leader of the three of them.
The bus stopped suddenly, I looked sideways out the window. An old building stood beside me. I watched him carefully, my eyeballs going around to see the details of the old building which was none other than my new school building.
The sound of the bus door opening, several students standing in line to get off. I was still sitting in my seat and still amazed by the strange sight outside. This is my new school, I still can't believe it. Here, I said to myself staring at the old building, I thought it wouldn't be like this.
What I saw was not what I imagined before. I think my school is like the buildings I see in this city. But, this is different, a big building with a beautiful view all around.
And, I still can't believe it. Flowers flourished in the front yard. looks lovely and pretty, i like it. There are many cypress trees around the right and left side of the school building. The white building stands majestically in the middle of the hills. Like a castle in a fairy tale, it's amazing, I said quietly. I rub my eyes, I'm not dreaming, am I?
"Hey … Fla … come on do you still want to stay sitting there." Algo's voice woke me up.
I quickly got up and found that the bus was deserted, all the passengers had gotten off, just me and Algo, outside Algo's three friends were still standing beside the bus, they had gotten off first. And I didn't even notice when they left me.
I walked through the school bus aisle, trailing Algo who was the first to walk in front of me. I turned to the bus driver, and smiled back at me by lifting his hat.
A gust of wind crept up my body, I pulled my jacket close to my body. Very cold. I couldn't take my eyes off of the scene in front of me.
Wow … amazing, green hills spread out in front of me with the accompanying clouds clearly visible from here. I'm sure right now I'm up in the hills, somewhere?
I walked after Algo and his friends. They seemed to be having fun joking with me occasionally. I just smiled, Algo slowed his pace and he walked beside me. I glanced at him, his face really looks more handsome swept by the cold, yellowed air.
"Fla, you have to go to Miss Freshi room first before entering your new class." Algo reminded me, I nodded. Somehow he seemed to be familiar with me.
Miss Freshi, who is she? Principal or my class teacher?
It's okay, I'll find out later. At this time, I just wanted to quickly get in and leave the cold air that had made my body stiff. And I'm already starting to shiver.
I entered the building with all white ornaments, I was amazed to see the interior of this building. Wow, like in the palace, really everything looks beautiful. Colorful flowers everywhere and butterflies … butterflies fly here and there with eye-catching colors.
Oh ... so beautiful, I stopped for a moment looking at my new school. And, all students have entered their respective classrooms. I was still momentarily stunned.
"Come on, Fla, you'll be late." asked Algo to me, who stood stunned by the atmosphere of my new school.
I followed Algo, we walked down a long hallway. On the right and left there is a classroom, and I tried to peek through the window with the transparent glass. Not so many students go to school in this place.
Well, I know Taron has only a small population so I understand that the students are not as many as in my previous school.
In one class there are only about ten to fifteen students. An excellent school in a City like Taron of course. It was quiet, there was no noise at all, all the students looked serious getting ready in their seats.
Unlike my old school, at hours like this, the noise of the students is definitely heard before class starts. I sighed, I noticed Algo walking beside me with his dignified style, he really looks charming from any side.
I suppressed a smile, why is this young man so very charming. Several female students glared at me, they whispered to each other when they saw me, then they returned to the classroom. I wonder why all the girls here are looking at me like that.
Algo turned to the right and I followed him, I quickened my pace following Algo's wide steps. We were silent, and I didn't want to ask too many questions. I just followed him. And before long, Algo stopped in front of the room with the name plate perched on the entrance.
'FRESHI BUCK' is clearly written.
I'm sure she's an unpleasant woman.
Algo told me to come in with a hint of his two eyes. I nodded, I grabbed the doorknob and knocked again and again without a sound. I turned to Algo again. He kept telling me to do it again.
I knocked again a second time. But still no answer. Algo advanced towards me, and I shifted to the right. Algo impatiently opened the door without knocking first. I don't think he's the patient type, it can be seen from the way he can't wait.
Knock …
Knock …
Knock …
"Excuse me Miss. Freshi, may we come in?"
Algo grabbed my hand and I was dragged along with him. Arriving in the room there was only a woman sitting behind a chair with thick glasses and untidy tousled hair. She wore a black suit with a floral scarf around her neck. I looked at her, her face was clearly streaks of sadness and loneliness.
