Daughter Of Spring

Chapter 2

A bell was ringing so loud, it woke Alison from bed. She checked the time,5:00am.

Gosh, do we have to wake this early,she murmured.

It's time for the freshmen baptism. Alison's roommate shouted.

What's that supposed to mean. Alison asked.

We are going to be beaten with water. It's a ritual in school for every freshman admitted into the school,Sapphire said.

How did you know that?

My elder sister has been here for a year. She told me all about it.

Oh!! Never heard of that.

Are you sure there are male students in this school. I was told it's a mixed school, but I'm really beginning to doubt that. Alison asked.

Haha, yes there are. Heard the guys here are so cute you know. We get to meet them today.

On the day of resumption, the girls and boys do not cross paths, till the first day in school. That's after the freshmen baptism.

This is also happening at the male campus right now.

Sapphire explained.

Alison?Sapphire? A senior student was going round and calling all freshmen.

Let's go!!

Why did the assembly take so long, my feet were killing me. Sapphire said.

Did it? Alison asked. I didn't seem to notice.

Really? It was45 minutes long.

OK Sapphire. Let's forget about that and locate our classroom.

Wow. Hi. You've got one of the rarest color of eyes. They are so cool. I can't believe I got to see a real human with green eyes.

Alison and Sapphire looked at each other and back at this strange good looking guy.

Dude who are you. Sapphire asked laughing.

Oh I'm sorry, forgive my manners. Am Dave. I just got carried away by......by ah...

Can we be friends if you don't mind? Dave asked.

Really? You want me to be your friend? Alison asked.

Yes. I'm a new student and I'm open to making new friends. Is that okay?

Alright. If only you stop looking at me as if am from a different planet.

If it wasn't that I'm standing right in front of you, looking at you. I'd swear you were from another planet.

Hahahah, you are a funny guy.

Am Alison and this is my roommate, Sapphire.

Nice to meet you,Dave. Sapphire. said.

Thank you for accepting me. Am honored.

Why are your eyes so green? And gosh your skins so.....

Look at all those spots. Some girls were saying and laughing.

Alison didn't say anything.

Who are you guys. You can't talk to my friend like that ,Sapphire said.

Sapphire forget them. Let's just find our class. Come on let's go.

Oh look that's my class Alison.

Okay Sapphire, have a nice day at class.

You will be fine,right? this trouble seekers? Sapphire asked.

Yeah. I'll be fine. I'm actually used to these kind of attention. See you at recess then?

Sure bye then.

What about you Dave? What are you studying.

Music.

Oh so I have a future musician as a friend. Cool.

My class is over there. I'll see you later, right?he asked

Yeah. Bye.

Awnn, your friend left you? one of the girls asked.

Actually I've found my class, excuse me.

Alison left and went to the direction of the fashion designing class and stopped at the door.

Hmm really wide classroom. I wonder how many students are here. she thought.

Are you going to go in or you are going to continue staring. A woman asked as students walked in.

I'm going in, sorry. The woman walked in.

Get sitted everyone, class starting in five minutes .she said.

Alison walked over to a seat the same time the girl from earlier on got to the seat and dragged it away.

I'm sorry that's supposed to be my seat, you just got here. Alison said.

Well it's my seat now, you weren't fast enough, haha.

You can't just take my seat.

Yes I.......

Are you two going to settle down already, so I can begin my class?

Yes ma'am, it's this girl that doesn't want to let me be. The girl said.

Wow, what a good actress you are.

You can have the seat, there are others. Alison left.

They were just two seats left and that were at the back.

I guess I've got no choice, she said and took one seat.

All the while the whole class kept staring at her.

And that moment has come, she thought to herself.

Alright now that we are all settled, I'll start by introducing myself. My name is Miss Angela and am your introductory teacher.

Haha is that a thing? a boy from the back said. Everyone turned to look at him.

Do you have something to say? Miss Angela asked.

No ma

As I was saying. In order to get to the next stage of this class. You have to pass all your assignments tests and project. If you don't you will be stuck with me till you do so. I won't be able to identify all of you by name now but as time goes on, we will all be familiarised with each others name. Is that okay.

Yes ma'am

Alright open to the first page of your introduction to fashion designing textbook.

Alison!!

Alison turned and found Sapphire waving her to come over. Alison took her food and walked over to meet her and sat down.

How was your first class so far, Sapphire asked.

Started bad at first.

Why what happened? someone said something to you?

Ah worse than that. That girl we met in the morning.

The one basked in makeup that I couldn't even tell if she had a skin on her face anymore?

Haha. yeah that one. She's in my class.

That's really worse. Did she cause any trouble.

Well first she struggled my seat with me. She acts as if she knows everything and doesn't miss a chance to show that she's intelligent.

That sounds like a show off?

Obviously it is.

But the class was fun. Miss Angela,she's really a nice lady.

How was your first day at class anyway.

Oh it was awesome. This classmate of mine. He's so cute. We actually talked a bit and he invited me to come watch him play at the football match between freshers and the returning students.

You watch football?

Well I don't but since he's playing. I'm going to watch.

What's his name?Alison asked as she ate.

Ah... I forgot. But You'll come with me right?

I really don't want to Sapphire. I'll be too exposed out there I don't want that.

Come on Alison. There won't be any difference staying in the room. You will still have to go out. And besides you've got beautiful eyes, you might enchant a guy with them, you know.

Hahahah I really doubt that Sapphire. But I'll come with you because you asked me to.

Thank you. Here you want some berries?

No no no I'm allergic to berries. thank you. They make me sick.

Oh sorry.

Hmm she's allergic to berries.

Alison's new classmate who had been listening to their conversation said.

So what are you trying to say Judy?her friend ask.

She smiled and said.

Don't worry my friend, you'll see!!
