Change of Destiny

Chapter Two

The birds begin to bustle my window reason to wake my soul. I slowly open my eyes and take a look at the window, the curtains is on side as I've prepared it last night making the outside visible. It's dawn.

As much as I want to stay in the bed I want to start my day with peace and serenity and watching the sunrise at the west would probably help me. I get off my bed drink a glass of water, wash my face, brush my teeth. And I grab the blazer on the coat stand, that's one of my favourite furniture provided by the school. It's quite useful.I go out my room, as expected the hallway of the girls' dormitory is empty lights are on, so I don't need to bring my flashlight well I don't have one either the flashlight of my phone is enough just in case. I then proceed to my plan.

After I set off my foot at the last stair I'm down outside its quite dark, but I can able to see my surroundings and where I am heading. The handbook last night provide a map which I have in my hands right now. Rooftop is the best place for sunrise.

Several turns and minutes of escalating I finally reach the top. The sun is already rising! I stride faster and harshly open the door to the rooftop. My mind's attention was on the rising orange horizon.

I stared at the glowing orange, sunrise came as if it had missed the sky, and wanted nothing more than to warm up those blues to a radiant gold. After a long cold night the daybreak brought glimmers of warmth. The golden light softly caressed the land and ignited the birds into a chorus of melodies.

I closed my eyes as the sunlight french kiss my face while the whispers of blowing winds makes me feel at totally ease. This is the want I lust during mornings.

I stay there longer delighted by the natural beauty of nature. When my mind and my heart reach the climax I decided to leave. One last glance at the birds on the next building.

I got startled with the sound of something.... broken? I am not the only one here? Am I?

My heart and mind left the serenity when a loud bang followed by a bone cracking sound. I immediately grab the handle and no Lucia this smells trouble.

My subconscious warned me but curiosity ignited the woods. I followed the sound it comes from the next door? The area looks abadon? It's still dark, but the sun rays put a little help to recognize where my foot to touch.

When I reached the door it's closed but the sound are more clear now. It's like they are beating up someone this early? Bully's? Oh, yeah what do you expect rich arrogant kid are studying here. As much as I want to help I know I am helpless too I might trigger or cause more trouble if I interfere. The only help I could lend right now is to be the testimony. In case the bullied report.

This is an abandon room the door is rusty with many holes. So, I closed my right eye then put my left eye on the little holes taking a peek of what's inside. My heart beats faster when I saw the guy on the floor already vomiting bloods. And yet three other guys keep on throwing kicks and punches on him!

"That's what your get when you break rules," my eyeball follows the voice, it came from... there are many of them inside! What's this a gang? Gangsters? Instantly the articles I read online flash in front of my eyes, 'illegal deeds, street fights, drug dealers, murders, rap–"

It's too late when I realized, that I am having staring contest to a guy with a green? Eyes? Staring contest?

My eye grew bigger I detached myself from the door and covered my mouth to stop the gasp and scream. He saw me! My mind immediately go whirlwind I was eaten of terror I need to go! The panic I feel made me stumble that cause a loud sound. Making the guys stop from killing the poor guy. Yes that's what about they do kill–

"Someone's there. Go take a look!"

I quickly stand up and run fast. I didn't remember myself running with in this speed goodness I am killing my lungs! Descending I straight head off to the principal's office.

The moment my hand grasp the door I bombarded countless knock and get inside. Immediately closed the door I lean my body on the wall while taking a deep breath.

"Excuse Miss? Are you okay?" I opened my eyes slowly saunter to her desk.

"The guy..." I coughed f**k I am running out of air. I start caressing my chest to concentrate my breathing. And when I did it..

"There is a fight happening at the rooftop right now. One guy is already vomiting bloods we should rescue him Miss or else things will get complicated."

"Uhm... Okay which rooftop?" she grab the telephone.

Shit! Due to the panic I didn't pay attention to my surroundings. I forget there are three buildings here.

"Uh.. I am not really sure which rooftop, but I came from the west"

"Oh okay now sit there and breathe."

I nodded and made myself comfortable on the sofa, "I'm sorry for the sudden interruption Miss," I started after she put down the telephone.

"I'm watching the sunrise at the rooftop when I heard loud crash. I decided to take a look to–"

"No one's there Miss according to the guards."

I bite my lip after she cut me off. What?

"They run away before the guard climb up, just another delinquent students. By the way the place is a restricted area why did you go there?" the first sentence came out on her mouth as if it were normal. Then the latter her brows made it up on her forehead, now she's glaring at me!

"T-the guy is b-bleeding–"

"It's your first day and you already violated the rules of the school. You came here running pounding the door that was very disrespectful."

Bending my head down I run my tongue on my dry lips then bite it. I'm just worried to the guy........ and to myself. They don't look like an ordinary bully. I sensed danger on his eyes.

"This is your first offense hija. Now go back to your room, read the handbook. And do not comeback there!" the last words was a firm and a warning.

Backfired? I just wanted to help. You had faults too! My subconscious interferes I didn't know it was a restricted area honestly I only look for the map, too excited to meet my first sunrise in the city of Baler.

While walking I reflected to my actions early this morning. Oblivious where I am heading until I heard my stomach rumbling. Breakfast!

Using the map I made it to cafeteria the four rows are occupied by different students wearing pj's eating their breakfast. I've mentioned last night everything here is extravagant, glass wall, high ceiling, mahogany tables and wood steel chairs. And the food yeah I am much more thankful right now that I am scholar if I didn't breakfast alone would cost my entire one-week budget. Overacting? No I am studying to one of the prestigious schools of Baler the rich city of Maguinda.

As much as I want to eat here and pamper myself I need to go back to my room I have load of things to do.

Just when I calm myself from the incident earlier my heart start to strike repeatedly again. From the entrance of the dormitory, hands are full of food, even if girls are blocking my view I can clearly see my room. The door of my room is open, and there are two boys standing waiting for me? Are they...... s**t!
