Chapter 8: First day

I am in my room right now, putting the stuff in my bag that I need to bring to school.

Tomorrow will be my first day and first time at school.

If you are wondering why, it is because Maria and I were taught at home, in short, home school. I ask our parents to go to school and socialize, but in fact, I just want to know who I really am. Hoping that once I tried to, I can find a clue about my identity.

I got memory loss almost 8 years ago. All I remember at that time was that I was in the hospital, covered in bondages, from my face to my whole body and that I have a twin sister. Tsk, remembering how we first met feels crazy.

I once asked my mom what truly occurred that time, all I got is, it was an accident and not explaining the whole reason. I didn’t push to know because it was so annoying and too troublesome. The important thing is that I am still alive.

But because of that Rain (Reign), I started to get curious about myself, and my past.

So I decided to ask mom again last week, but before I even tried to ask more about it. My mom told me that I once lived with one of our relatives before, then when I was about to go home I was kidn*pped and all. She was crying as she told me those stories.

Then I tried to ask about my picture when I was a kid but she said that it had been burned. I wanted to know more, but she started to wail as she cried, having no choice but to hush her.

It felt like all her stories had flaws. I just can’t put my finger on it.

I didn’t try to ask again, because every time I do so, she will cry, like every time she remembers it, it was the same as opening the old wound. In the end, I asked her if I wanted to go to school.

She agrees, but it needs to be in Montessori high. It is the school of Renz’s parents that was given to him to manage, according to him. It made me wonder how he does so?

My thinking was put to a halt when I felt my phone vibrate, I picked it out on the bed and saw who it was.

Renz the gadget prince.

Don’t think I named him that, it was Mara’s to put that name along with Brye. The original plan was to put “L” but I disagree because I don’t want to.

"Yes," I answer as I push the accept button.

{"Elle, Let’s go to school together. I'll fetch you tomorrow."} he says on the other side of the phone.

"’ Kay" I answer then hang up the phone as I throw it on the bed.

I then ready my uniform for tomorrow as I smile widely.

With this get-up, no one will ever think I am Maria's twin. I know mom will be hysterical but this is much better.

--------

I wear my thick glasses, braces, and bun my whole hair, then I wear my long socks at black shoes as I prepare my backpack and stuff.

After that, I go downstairs and I tell you when mom and Maria saw me, their mouth is hanging open, while big bro has a loaf of bread in his mouth wondering why they are like that, he follows the direction on where they are looking at, which is my direction.

"What with the get-up?" Asks Leo with his brow knit.

"Waaaaaaaaaaah! Sistah why are you wearing that?! Why do you wear a nerdy haggard teacher look? Myveggiebittermelon. Why did you hide my beautiful face? Waaaaaaaah!” Hysterical says Maria (Maria Victorina) after getting over from my first impression.

"Oh my, Leo, my daughter, my daughter. What happened to my daughter?" my mom as if she is crying.

I look at them blankly.

Seriously, what’s their problem? And Maria(Maria Victorina) this is my face, not yours.

I just ignored them after taking some food and walking away.

"Baby Elle, your allowance!" My mom called out to me.

"I got it from dad yesterday, my weekly allowance!" I reply shouting, not allowing them to get a hold of me. It will become troublesome once they do so. Tsk.

"L-lady Elena, Master Justine, and Lorenzo are waiting for you." Says the maid, as she looks at me in disbelief.

I'm going to poke that d.mn eyes of her if she won’t stop staring. Tsk.

When I see the car we will be riding, my face twitches. The heck. No one will really believe that I am Maria’s twin but the car itself will garner attention.

Then I see Justine as he lowers the window on the shotgun, as he looks at me with a raised brow.

"What with you two?" Jus says in annoyance as his brow is already knitted.

"Baby Elle! Wait! Change your clothes first!!" Mom shouts that it can be heard outside, and before my mom can reach us, I hold on to the car door, in the front seat, as I enter inside and then close the door. After that, I go to the back seat receiving a death glare from Jus.

"Let's leave. Now. velocità.” I say toward the driver.

I saw them shiver but the car didn’t move as they looked at me trying to decipher the last word I just said.

My brow knit as I glare at them. “Go now,” I say in a cold authority.

I see the driver shiver as he drives the car.

Jus (Justine) looks at my place, still glaring at us.

"What?" I ask as I look outside the car window.

"You guys are going to ruin my handsomeness. Elena what with the lousy get-up, and Renz you won against our Philippine hero Jose Rizal with that look, Our Philippine hero might even stand out from his coffin because of you two. Tsk.” Continuously said by Jus (Justine) to us.

That was the only time I looked at my side where Renz is.

Opposite to how he looks when modeling, his hair was on one side, and a white polo that is buttoned all the way up, he really wins against Dr. Jose Rizal. More like, he looks like Andres Bonifacio. Plus big glasses.

“Is that a thread now? I felt ashamed of you guys.” Says Jus in a sour mood.

We ignore his hysterical voice. So annoying. Tsk.

Renz got out of the car, a meter away from school, so did I.

Justine says that he felt ashamed being with us, so he told us to go first, while he went down at the front gate.

"I LOVE YOU PRINCE JUSTINE!!!! LET’S GET MARRIED!!!!" shouts a girl with a twin ponytail.

"YOU'RE THE HOTTEST MAN PRINCE JUSTINE!!!" shouts another girl with thick makeup

“PRINCE JUSTINE, IMPREGNATE ME PLEASE!!!” the girl with curly hair.

“MY PANTY, MY PANTY. IT FELL OFF” say the gay on the side

“PRINCE JUSTINE YOU ARE STILL HANDSOME AS BEFORE!” the big guy winks at Jus.

The students shouted as Justine smiled at them and waved his hand, getting a shriek and cheers from girls and gays and guys.

What the-

And here I thought only the showbiz artist had such a fan, never thought it is the same in school.

And when Lorenzo enters the school, everyone turns silent.

Eh???

Why is that?

"Go back to your proper class now or meet me at the office," says Renz, then everyone disperses as others go upstairs.

I look at Renz. Eh? When did this guy learn to speak that way?

This is weird.

Looks like This school will be interesting. I can't help but smirk.

Author’s Note:

In the Philippines, they usually teased people with hair that was like gel on one side and were properly dressed as Jose Rizal. In other countries they were either called Nerds or Teacher’s pets, I guess. The MC just went and made it a little joke and called him like he was Andres Bonifacio.

Another fact, in high school, because of freedom of speech, there were in fact students yell like fans. Hey, even in my school those things happen. Especially if a good-looking person is doing sports or they are well-known, they will even squeal while shouting ‘I love you’ or something along the line. My friend used to be like that, so I get that idea from that.

See you in the next chappie!
