"Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh! Intruder! Aaaahhhhhhh!" A blonde girl startled screaming while pointing at me, her one hand is covering her mouth slightly.
I stand straight and looked at her with my forehead furrowed.
The other girl with a dark brown hair stand up, crunching her eyes. She went towards the screaming girl and... slapped her?
"Stop screaming, you i***t! Don't you see we still have a missing dorm mate and she have a baggage with her!" She yelled at the blond girl.
When she realized, she put her hands on her mouth and mouthed an 'oh'. She looked down. Ashamed.
The dark brown haired girl sighed "If the room is not soundproof you already wreck the whole campus." She stated with her arms on her chest.
"I'm sorry." The blond girl looked at me.
"Sorry to wake you up." I told her.
Her face light up "No! it's fine. Btw, I'm cassy!" She came near me with wide smile extending her arm.
"Claire." I simply stated taking her hand for a shake. Venice Claire is my name but I prefer simply putting Claire.
"Oh yeah! I'm Drenalyn! Drena for short." The dark brown haired girl said coming near me for a handshake, I took it and she smiled, she looks like a Chinese girl.
"I'm Chinese." She added, she might have sensed it. She's good. I nodded, going back to fixing my things.
"Well, the truth is that I've been awake 30 minutes ago. It's just that I didn't sense you coming in, and when I turn around. I was shocked to see you. So, I kinda freaked out." Cassy said playing with the strands of her hair.
"Kinda?" Drena asked sarcastically.
"Okay fine. I freaked out!" Cassy threw her hands in the air.
And suddenly Drena bursted into a fit of laughter. I looked back on putting my clothes in the closet, ignoring them. When I'm done, I prepared myself in bed. They are already lying in their beds.
"Claire?" Drena asked, she's next to my bed.
"Hmm?" I hummed making her to continue.
"If you don't mind me asking, why did you come here at 3 o'clock in the morning?" She's sounds so curious.
"I need time to escape from my parents." I plainly said which earned a laugh coming from Cassy and an oh from Drena.
"You know what Claire, I like you!" Cassy smiled, now sitting up with one hand supporting her. She's pretty with a straight blonde hair running though her waist.
"Well, me too! I have this feeling that pulling me towards you." Drena looked at me with a smile, I faced them.
"Just don't fall for me." I said as I closed my eyes trying to sleep.
They laughed, "It's friendship!" as they yelled in chorus. Friendship.
"Goodnight." I said to end the conversation, I really don't like talking. I pulled up the cover.
"Goodnight!" They cheered in chorus then silence is all I heard in the room.
I'm good at guessing, these girls are harmless. Well, I looked deeply into their profile before accepting the key of the room.
Cassandra Bernard or Cassy, her father is the owner of the biggest Toy Company in the country which is also connected to the Tarre we have a biggest share in the Bernard Toy Company.
Drenalyn Montero, her father was known as the best lawyer in the International Relations. Unfortunately, her father was killed in her own eyes. The killers were already in prison because of her, as the eyewitness. She came here to be strong, blaming herself for doing nothing when her father was killed.
They have good records. I don't want bloods to flow inside this room that I will be staying for the next 2 years. Yes, 2 years but I took a 4 year course.
The school have a special exam for students, the year level a student is having will be determined from the result of the exam.
The examination is easy but I intentionally made mistakes. I don't want to stay here for so long neither for a short period. So I chose the middle. I will be attending a 3rd year level in college.
Tomorrow is another day and tomorrow is the first day of school. As darkness took over my essence.
I woke up 5 am when I sensed a movement, as I looked up. It's Drena, she went in the kitchen but I just stayed at my bed. Oh, she cooked.
After an hour I decided to stand up to prepare for my class that will start at 8am.
Cassy came to me "Come on, let's eat Claire." I nodded and walked with her towards the kitchen "You know what Claire, Drena is really a great cook, it's delicious! I convinced her to be a chef but she rejected." She keep on whispering to me until we reached the kitchen.
"I heard that! I told you, cooking is not my world but fighting is." Drena said eagerly.
"Fighting, fighting. Okay fine." Cassy sarcastically said and take a seat in the table.
The foods are already prepared.
"Take a seat now Claire and try the food." Drena said smiling while taking her seat.
I sat down and filled my plate, when I tasted the soup. It's good. I know how to cook, so I know how to taste. "It's delicious." I plainly stated.
"Told yah!" Cassy beamed munching her food.
The two keep on bantering with each other while I silently eat my food.
After breakfast we prepared for our class. This school have a uniform. For girls it's a white checkered shirt with a maroon necktie and a stripe skirt that reached mid-thigh and a black heeled shoes. I just let my hair fall down.
As I looked at the mirror, I don't see any marks, there's no evidence of torture left in my body. I healed so fast... I smirked, my medicine is very effective and speaking of it, I brought some of my experiments.
"Hey Claire! Do I look pretty now?" Cassy asked turning her body. She's pretty with certain skinny beauty emphasizing she's American, she have a good body for a lady and a height which is 5'8. I nodded at her.
"Tch. You're ugly." Drena stated and throw a pillow on her. Drena is beautiful with her tan color that work perfectly in her petite figure, her height is 5'5 which make her look like a doll.
"No, I'm not! she nodded means I'm pretty!" Cassy talked back, feeling frustrated.
Drena laughed "okay fine. Let's go now." When she reached the door, I followed her but I was stopped by Cassy.
"Wait! Claire! Will you really go out looking like that? You look like a dead person, can you please at least put a make up on?" Cassy nagged on me. I shrugged and continue walking but I was dragged back to the mirror.
"Agh! I just can't ignore it! Stay still!" She's frustrated now, so I stayed still. She put a lip tint and a maskara on my face. And I don't know the others. I'm really bad at it. *Tch. The author is.*
"There! Simple but elegant." she clapped at her accomplishment.
"You're so pretty." Drena complimented with adoration. She's been watching us.
I stand up and started walking "Let's go."
It's already 7am when we started looking for our rooms, we have different classes. My first class is about Psychology.
On our way I can see that this school is big, I see its beauty just now. It looked like a city proper than a campus, they all look too modern.
There are two buildings that caught my attention and made me into a halt. It looked like a mansion than a building.
Drena sensed it and started talking "That," she pointed to a mansion with a white and gray color "that is the rooms of the best fighters in this school, so better avoid any of them, they're dangerous."
"And that" she pointed to a white and blue color mansion with a garage at the left side connecting to it "that is the room-no the house, probably because it's more than a room, of the best of the best fighters in this school." She continued.
"With only four occupants. They are so famous especially to the girls because they're so damn hot and handsome! And most boys idolized them." Cassy added with a bright smile and twinkling eyes while giggling.
"Will you stop that look, they're arrogant!" Drena exclaimed, her eyes held anger. What's her problem?
"What? I cant avoid it, they are the coolest and the most handsome men I've seen." She looked beyond space, her hands intertwined together in her chest level. Admiration is seen on her.
"Auh! They are not!" Drena started walking fast, frustration clearly shown in her. So they're boys huh.
I started following her and cassy followed us still day dreaming.
"Yes, they are!" She shouted when she came back in reality.
"Carlo is! They're not!" Okay, they are shouting at each other while walking fast with anger.
"What?! I already told you he's out of reach!" Cassy yelled at her.
"I don't care!" Her anger didn't lower down.
Carlo is famous because of his reputation. I'm hiding in a mask and a hood but Carlo is always seen and known in the underground as my right hand.
When I was still with uncle Dos, Carlo often go in the Underground Arena for a battle, no one ever defeated him, no one can defeat him except from the Tarre Family. He's strong. But when I came home to stay, he never go back to the Underground Arena again. He have good looks, so maybe they're talking about him, or maybe not.
I was out of daze when I heard some girls screaming excitedly and running to the white and blue color mansion we just passed by, other girls are also following them.
"Oh my gosh! They're out! Let's see them!" Cassy said in a loud voice giggling but she earned a punch in a shoulder from Drena.
"Yeah, they're out now, so let's go to our class!" Drena stated but with anger in her voice. She dragged Cassy who's now wearing an annoying look.
"Agh! They're really so handsome!" A girl passed us running towards the mansion while giggling.
"Faster! We have to take a picture!" The girl with her yelled.
What's up with them?
We're far from it but it's on sight, I looked back and all I can see are girls. After more minutes of roaming around from this wide campus I reached my first class a minute before the class started.
I'm glad I didn't feel intimidated with a number of people passing through me because Cassy and Drena were beside me. I've never been in a place with too many people without killing them for 7 years. If ever, my actions would be dangerous, as I can't help controlling myself if my temper is out of line. The Silencer might, awake...
I take a seat at the back near the window after a while the teacher came and introduced herself. She said there's no need for our introduction, we just need to listen.
She's halfway on her lesson when someone barged in, I didn't even take a look on it as I don't care. The girls started whispering to one another, the others keep on giggling and the boys are silent. Tch.
"Mr. De Vera, you're late on your first day of class." The teacher said but anger is shown in her voice.
"Why do you care?" The guy simply said.
"Watch your mouth! Now, take a seat somewhere." She yelled with anger.
I sensed someone take a seat beside me. Probably that guy. Then the class started again.
A moment later I heard a small cough beside me. But I didn't dare to take a look.
I sensed a little movement, if unnecessary movement this guy is dead. "Hi, I'm coby." He whispered near my ear. Then the bell rung, he cursed lowly.
I started taking my things for my next class when a hand is extended in front of me. I looked up to see a tall guy, he has good looks. His eyes are green with a white skin color and a black hair wearing a varsity jacket.
"Coby, how about you miss?" He stated with a smile waiting for me to take his hand.
"Claire." I went passed him ignoring his hand.
"Woah! Cold, hey miss!" I ignored him and walked faster, he didn't dare to follow me because a group of girls blocked his way to flirt with him.
I went towards my next class. I'm trying to control myself and play along with the people. I'm trying to look normal so I answered their questions not to look bad. Do I?
On my way I heard my phone ring. I looked at it Carlo so I answered.
"Princess!!! Happy birthday!!" A screamed from Carlo which made me take my phone away from my ear.
"Tch. Stop shouting." I stated.
"Oh well, your mother freaked out the moment she did not see you in your room and some of your clothes disappeared-" he was cut off by definitely mom "Is that Venice?!" She's angry. "No mom, it's just a friend!" He shouted back.
"Happy birthday Princess. I love you. Remember to call her later, okay?" He said lowly sounding like in a hurry.
"Okay." And I ended the call.
Now, to my next class...
