Athalia Ciarra Vallera Pov
"Hey, Ciarra!"
I glanced at Aurora when she called my name. She ran towards me from the adjacent field of Anderson Hall. I stopped walking and waited for her na makalapit sa akin.
"Oh, why do you look so grumpy again? You're in a bad mood," Aurora said as she approached me.
"Anyway, I have news, did you know? HNU opened a scholarship program, and guess what? One of those who passed it, pinag-uusapan nya ngayon sa admin office, and the rumor is spreading. They say that person is super intelligent, like they passed above the standard set by our university!" Aurora said.
"Oh dear Aurora, you're late with the news. Yes, I know that guy, and he's annoying! It looks like madadagdagan ang kalaban ko, but I can handle it, I can defeat them along with Celestine!
You know what's even more irritating and frustrating? That guy named Zach Aron Alvarez is my classmate! On the very first day, he's already being a nuisance, and he's getting in the way of my plans," I said, stomping my feet and seething with anger.
"So what's your plan now?" Aurora asked
"What kind of question is that, Aurora! You know me, you know I don't let things like this slide. I won't be defeated, I'll make sure he gets out of my way," I said, determinedly.
"Okay, you said it. Let's go, Marcus and Dominic might be waiting," she replied.

Zach Aron Alvarez Pov
2nd Week of Class....
Palaging nagkakaroon ng mainit na tension at nauuwi palagi sa debate ang class namin dahil hindi nagpapatalo si Ms. Vallera, even ako ay ayaw magpatalo. Nararamdaman ko na rin ang galit ni Ms. Vallera sa akin. Cause it seems palang ako ang humahadlang sa mga gusto nyang mangyari.
While I'm walking in Nexus Oval, nakita ko ulit si Luna.
"Ow, hi Luna!" pagbati ko.
"Ow, hello there Mr Hot Guy!" she replied habang tumatakbo papalapit sa akin.
Parang sawa si Luna na mahilig lumingkis sa braso ko.
"Where are you going?" pagtataka ni Luna.
"Para ka na namang naliligaw!" hirit pa nya sabay kurot sakin.
"Ah, wala.. nag-iikot ikot lang naman ako." tugon ko.
"It seems like you don't have anything to do. Come on, join me." Luna invited me.
"Saan naman?" pagtataka ko.
"Basta, no more question and buts, sumama ka nalang!" saad nya sabay hugot ng kamay ko.
"Luna, saan mo na naman ako dadalhin!" saad ko habang pinipigilan si Luna sa pilit na paghawak ng kamay ko.
"Basta!" wika nito.
Sa kahihila nya sa akin, nakarating kami sa Einstein Hall, ang College of Medicine ng HNU.
"Bakit tayo nandito?" pagtataka ko. Hindi ko na alam. Kung san san ako dinadala ni Luna sa tuwing nagkikita kami.
"I'm just showing you around to familiarize you with the ins and outs of the campus, and of course, I want to introduce you to my best friend." saad ni Luna habang nangiting nakatitig sa akin.
"But why, bakit mo ako ipakikilala." napakamot nalang ako sa ulo at nakunot ang noo.
"Cause your my new friend." sambit nya.
Maya maya pa, habang malayo ang tingin ko, dumating na ang kaibigan nya.
"Zach, I want to introduce you to my best friend, Celestine." pagpapakilala ni Luna.
Nagulat at napa atras nalang ako nang makita ko ang kaibigan nya..
"Ikaw!"
"You, again?!" sabay naming winika nang makita ang isa't isa.
"Why? Do you already know each other?" pagtatakang tanong ni Luna dahil sa naging reaction namin.
"Oo, eh yan yung mataray at masungit na babaeng nabangga ko nung first day ko rito eh! Sya rin yung nanampal sakin!" saad ko habang tinititigan ng masama si Celestine.
"Wow, how dare you say that to me! It's your fault why I got slapped, scolded, and glared at! You're such a nuisance in my life!" inis na inis na wika ni Celestine sa akin na para bang isinusumpa na nya ako sa kanyang isip kung maka react.
"Ungrateful! Stubborn!" pang-aasar ko sa kanya.
"How dare you!" wika nito habang tinataasan ako ng kilay at akmang sasampalin ulit ako.
"Oh bakit? Totoo naman talaga ah, sa daddy mo na nanggaling!" hirit ko pa. Sinasadya ko syang inisin para man lang makaganti.
"Excuse you!" celestine replied, at para bang mauubusan na ng sasabihin.
"Wait..wait.. wait. Calm down." pagpapakalma ni Luna sa situation.
Inaasar ko si Celestine na parang bata.
"Blee, blee, blee." wika ko habang nakadila pa.
"Yuck!" pandidiri ni Celestine.
"Enough!" sigaw ni Luna.
"How can I stop myself when every time I see that guy, my blood boils!" saad ni Celestine na may kasama pang panduduro.
"Calm down! Take a deep breath, Celestine." pag-awat ni Luna kay Celestine.
Nakikita ko sa mukha nya ang gigil at inis nya sa akin na para bang anytime ay papatayin nya ako.
"Hayy.. ang cute mo kapag mas lalo kang nagagalit." pang-aasar ko pa.
"Shut up!" sigaw nya habang pinandidirihan ako.
"For real, mas lalo kang gumaganda." hirit ko pa para mas lalo syang maasar.
"Yuck!" pag-iinarte nito.
"Let's go, Luna! Let's leave this place!" saad nya pa habang nagdadabog na.
"Okay fine.. let's go." tugon ni Luna at nagpaalam na sya sa akin.
"Im sorry, Zach. Next time nalang, bye!" wika ni Luna sa akin.
"Okay, bye... Bye celestine, take care!" sigaw ko habang palalayo na sila sa akin.
"Iww!" she shouted at me.

Celestine Blaze Anderson Pov
"Irritating! That man is really annoying!"
My language is getting more frustrated while my forehead wrinkles.
"What did that person do to you? Zach is so kind!" Luna's replied and she's quite confused.
"Kind? Are you joking, Luna? That man is getting on my nerves! He's annoying and a nuisance in my life!" My language is becoming extremely irritated while trembling with anger."
While we were walking towards the HN Center to eat, I bumped into Ciara, my mortal enemy. Since our first encounter at Hoxward, we've disliked each other. Ciara was with her friends Aurora, Dominic, and Marcus. Marcus has had a crush on me for a long time, but I don't like him... However, my family plans to arrange a marriage between us.
"Speaking of the devil.." I muttered in a weak voice as I bumped into them.
"Celestine, calm down. Don't start trouble," Luna cautioned me, trying to hold me back.
Ciarra gave me a dirty look and replied, "What did you say? You're really starting trouble, aren't you!"
"Why? Did what I say hit home?" I answered Ciara while rolling my eyes at her.
"You're so arrogant, yet you have nothing to boast about." Ciara's bragging.
"What did you say?! I have nothing to boast about? Who among us is the one relying on family influence to not be outdone at HNU?" I said because I'm getting irritated with her while restraining myself from pulling her hair.
"That's enough guys!" Marcus intervened to prevent the situation from escalating further.
"Yeah, I agree.. Enough of this. It's embarrassing!" Luna said as she pulled me away from them.
"Don't you dare interfere!" Ciarra shouted, her face betraying her frustration and anger towards me.
"Using family influence? Coming from you? You're just the child of a great and respected lawyer that's why you're famous here at HNU! Don't brag, if it weren't for your father, you wouldn't have a place here, you're only famous because of your family!" Ciarra shouted as she pointed and made me feel worthless.
"You're shameless!" I shouted, then suddenly rushed towards Ciarra and slapped her.
Ciara and I started slapping each other until we both fell down. Suddenly, Aurora, Ciarra's friend, intervened.
"Let go of my friend! You're really shameless!" Aurora said as she suddenly joined the fight.
"Hey! Don't you dare meddle, Aurora! You jerk! Face me instead!" Luna shouted as she suddenly grabbed Aurora's hair.
Marcus and Dominic tried to intervene and separate us, but we still didn't stop.
"Hey girls! Stop it! It's embarrassing!" Dominic said as they tried to restrain us.
Our fight eventually ended, with Marcus and Dominic standing between us to prevent any further confrontation. Our hair and clothes were a mess after the altercation, as if we had gone to war. Our faces were covered in dirt from falling during the fight.
"Enough! You're not kids anymore! You're already adults, for heaven's sake!" Marcus reprimanded us as we continued to argue and shout at each other, with Ciarra leading the way.
Ciarra shouted loudly, "She's the one you should reprimand because she was the first one!"
"Let's go! Stop causing a scene, calm down already!" Marcus said in irritation as he tried to calm down Ciarra's anger. He instructed Dominic to take Ciarra and Aurora to the clinic, and they left. Marcus apologized to me for what happened.
"I'm sorry, Celestine, I'll talk to Ciarra myself. I'm sorry," Marcus apologized to me before leaving.
"It's okay, you should talk to your friend. I might not be able to control myself next time, I might end up hurting her," I said, still filled with anger.
"That's enough Celestine, let go."
Luna restrained me and guided me to the student office to fix myself because I looked disheveled after the altercation.
"Someday, she'll get what's coming to her!" I exclaimed, still seething with frustration towards her.
