Finally the day arrived. Two girls were hurrying, picking up ribbons, dresses, shoes, and hairpins. " Ah, Esm help me out with the hairstyle !! ", " Lyn !!! Your dress got crooked here !! ". The atmosphere was quite stressful, especially for those two, who both woke up late. Well, it just happened on the wrong day.
On the other side of the dorms, a head full of red hair collapsed on the pillow. In the other rooms Dev and Lex were already up, but they were slowly getting ready.
A few hours later, all the students were gathered in the main hall, all of them had their masks on. The latters had different styles, who covered half face, who did the opposite, who just left the eyes out, who….
On the stage the headmaster walked proudly, ready to give the celebratory speech. With one hand he held a stack of paper, the other fixed his tie, " I'm really honored to be the principal of this school, its students are its pride. No one can deny it. I'm really glad that everyone gathered here to welcome the new students. I don't think there's more to say, so let's celebrate ! ". Clapping resounded, the bright lighting in the room quickly turned down. With small pops, round light appeared, floating in the air, spreading a soft glowing. A note resounded and on the stage, now there were five people holding musical instruments.
Lyn and her friend got separated by the loud crowd. She turned her head trying to look for them, but she was literally seeing tower-like students. Why did she feel so short ?! Suddenly a girl bumped into her, and she immediately lost her balance. To tell the truth, she was already struggling to keep it, since the crystal-like shoes didn't help her at all. Her body fell backwards but was stopped by a pair of arms that gently catched her. The back of her head touched a wide chest. " Are you blind ? ". Lyn was startled, she immediately freed herself from the embrace, " I-I'm sorry ! ". She lowered her head, not daring to look up, both because she was a bit scared by the cold tone and because she indeed was a bit short here. The girl who bumped her smirked, " Senior you shouldn't be angry at her, she's probably a new student ". Her tone was full of mockery and disdain. She was thinking how a mere freshman could catch the attention of so many guys, even from the other grades. While Lyn was glancing around to find her buddies, she didn't notice the gazes on her, until she fell.
" I said that you're the one who's blind, are you deaf or stupid ? ", a hand held her shoulder, pulling her near him. She slowly looked up. A pair of green eyes meet her, they were darkened, but still held a gentle gaze toward her. " Adeus ? ", " Mn, sorry if I've startled you ", then he raides his head towards the one who bumped her. " Apologize to her ", " Adeus !!! She was the one who bumped me, why should I apologize to her ? ". Lyn looked ar her with her eyes wide open. What in the world ??? Was, then, she the blind one ?! Soon a small crowd gathered around them. " Hey, this miss, I saw that you was the one who crashed on her, why are you acting the victim when you aren't ? ", Ander argued. " Tsk, I bet she's from the ground city, or otherwise how coiuld her eyesight be soo poor ? She bumped me first anyway ", she snorted, twisting her neck like a proud crane. Immediately voices poured from both sided, a good part was made by gossip lovers who liked to meddle in other's bussiness. After Ander, Lex, Esm and Dev were all here. They all got driven here by the lively crowd. " She's really unresonable ", Lyn was reallly annoyed. She walked toward that 'miss', she stetched her arms and pushed her. The girl was caught completely off guard and fell miserably on her butt. Laughters rang out, foolewd by many. " Now it's true that I pushed you, isn't ? But still, I wans't the one who started, you weirdo ". She wanted to say more to vent her annoyance, but a hand held her arm. It was Adeus, " Don't waste you time, let's go ". He pulled her away, leaving the people disappointed, since they wanted more mess.
Lyn looked at him, his long hair was still tied, his mask perfectly matched his suit. " Here ", a glass was offered to her, it contained a pinkish drink, on the bottom a few sparkling bubbles rolled. She took a sip. ' Wow It's so sweet !! ', she smiled at him, ' ' Adeus how did you know that I love the sweet taste ? ", " I always see you enjoying them ", " Ah… ". In fact she always kept candies in her pockets, they alway put her in a good mood.
" Lyn ! There you are ! ", Esm painted, with her hands on her waist, " It's so crowded here, I couldn't even see you ! ". Behind her the other arrived too. Everyone gathered here, so now they could start their fun.
" Who is she ?? Why is she so close to Adeus ? He usually dislikes being near people, why isn't it the same with that girl ?'' Isla felt really unfair. She spent almost two years to get close to him, but he always treated her like air. She, the precious daughter of the Clinton family, no one dared to go against her, but he just ignored her. At first she approached him under family's order, since the Deft family was also at the same height, maybe even higher. His father saw an opportunity for an alliance, when the news of the long lost son was found. If those two married, then those two families would be closer and eventually be at the top of the other families.
But the things weren't going smoothly. She was even wronged for a freshman, and on the top of that she was approached first by Adeus by his own will. What did she lack in comparison of her ? Looks ? Body shape ? Attitude ? She didn't feel that she lacked in any of those areas. Her venomous gaze sweeped on their group, ' You just wait, lowly ground ants . I'll make you pay dearly for today's happening '.
