Chasing Stars To Scars

Oh it begins

Aaaaah, I’m not too fond of first days; I am on my senior high now with a track of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), it was my first time to enter a boarding school, and it is my first that I am away with my family. As I entered my newly designated room, I looked around and saw that I had beige walls, a medium-sized room, and a big sliding window, which I truly like since it has a terrace. I can already imagine what to put on my walls and things and furniture to order since I need a clean space for my studying. I don’t have a right to say that I am a studios person, but I’m proud that I always work hard on everything; I mean, what is the sense of not doing my best? I hate regretting. Ah, I think I’m hungry, my stomach is giving me signals to eat, so I must go to the cafeteria, and good thing I already know where it is from the student handbook. My day would probably be bad if there were things that were not organized. I didn’t change my clothes since I think it was okay; I’m wearing a hoodie and flowy, comfortable white soft pants. There are many people already in the cafeteria, but I have already picked my food since I have a yearly meal plan here; I picked some vegetables, beef, oh I really love beef, I also picked some soft white buns with cholate filling and got some milk, and as I turned around, and find a table which I can settle, I saw a table with four chairs. There is the only man in the seat, and the cafeteria is so packed, and I can’t find any seats. I didn’t know where I would eat, so I slowly went to that seat I had already eyed. I put my food on the table and already ate and then started to eat, I was almost terrified when the man across me, loudly chuckled and I stopped eating and looked at him, he had a dark aura, and he looked at me with his brooding eyes and “Miss, Leave. Now”. What a nerve of this guy. 

I won’t back out. “Why? Do you own this table or chair? Do you have your name on it?” I strike back. He smirked, “Yes, Miss, definitely. Look at that carved in the side of your table; you’ll see my name”. This guy was definitely testing my patience, so I looked at the side of my table and saw nothing except the equation of Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, so I glared at him. “Are you kidding me?, Are you Albert Einstein now?”. And he glared back at me, saying, “Oh, you got some wits in you, huh?. I’m amazed that someone irritating as you know him.” Ah, he maybe thinks that I’m dumb when I’m definitely not so “Yes, I know that theory includes a way for the speed of light to define the relationship between energy and matter — small amounts of mass (m) can be interchangeable with enormous amounts of energy (E), as defined by the classic equation E = mc^2. Happy now, are wear? I just want to eat silently, and then I’ll leave immediately,” and I started eating my food again, and so did he, and I’m glad he never talked back because I’m exhausted. When I finished my food, I gathered all my things and never looked back as I went to my bed and scrutinized everything, I wanted my room to be minimalistic and feel serene, so I listed down all the things I needed to order online. White window covers, study table and chair, a mini eating table, some paintings for the walls, extra bed sheets and pillows, mini cabinet and organizer, and the list goes on. I searched on sss, Ikea, and some sites that I already know. My parents keep calling on my phone, even my brother. They are always worried about me being alone, but it’s my time to be alone, and I can do this. I hope somebody will ship soon, my room feels so gloomy, and I don’t have a study table to study ahead. Maybe, I’’ sleep and rest a bit, then I’ll go to the library and do some readings.

What time is it? I think I’ve slept too much; I checked my watch and saw that it’s already 4 PM and the sun is already waving out, so I took a bath first, got my lavender knitted long sleeves, and paired with a pajama since it’s already getting dark and I went out having my mini bag for reading.  I went to another building where the library resides, and as I walked, I saw many trees and greenery. There are almost no people on the ground; maybe they are in their room, but anyway, I entered the five-storey library and saw that I could even count the number of people in the library. Still, the library is quite lovely, it has some rusty clean feeling, and it’s so cold here. I’m glad I’m wearing something that is definitely perfect for this place. I got my checklist on things I need to study ahead, and I got Differential Calculus and Physics books that I wanted to learn first. I don’t know which floor I will choose to learn, but I like high places, but there’s no elevator, and it’s tiring if I pick the fifth floor, hmmm maybe I’ll choose the third floor. I walked on the stairs, and wow, this place is quite nice since it has high ceilings and oversized windows, so I think there’s no one here, so I picked a table on the side to admire the greenery outside. I opened my pencil case, and I get my highlighters and pens and started scanning the book. I’ll start studying my Physics book, the first lesson here is Forces and Newton’s law of Motion and I already have a background about this lesson and I truly like this topic so I started reading, taking some notes, and trying to maximize my time.
