1 1.1 (A new life)

Reanna's pov:

“heyy!!! Are you alright,” slowly opening my eyes I could see someone trying to wake me up, I finally got up. he was relieved and happy that I regained consciousness.

“o-oh hey what happened.”

“good to know you were alright.”

“thanks for waking me up.”

who is he, does he know me??? He doesn't look familiar at all. But more importantly is where are we??

“you're welcome.” he just looked at me as he stood there.

“oh my apologies, my name is Dean Miles. Nice to meet you.”

Dean huh?!?!, I don't know anyone named Dean in my class. Is he a transfer student?? Or a student from the other three schools.

“my name is Reanna Pearce, nice to meet you,”

gave him a smile and he smiled back. With black hair, red eye on the right and a black one on the left. He almost looks like a fallen angel. Oh fallen angel did you come to my aid.

He gave me a hand and lifted me up “thanks.”

“no worries,” as he turned his look a far, Dean spotted something or someone that piqued his attention.

“hey!! let's go there's someone over there.” he cried.

Dean hurrying he grabbed my arm and we rushed towards someone who's also unconscious. Two of them to be exact, they also came from the other schools, but why are we here??? In the middle of the sea??.

This island looks like bigger than those four schools combine. I got a strange feeling about this.

Me and Dean sat down besides these two girls wearing different uniforms. I in particular also had a different uniform, looks like we aren't classmates in the same school huh.

We shook them to see if they will gain consciousness, “hey!! Wake up!!” Dean cried while shaking the other girl wearing glasses.

“hey!!!!” while I tried my best to wake this girl, she suddenly woke up by surprise.

“gahh!!” she shouted “what's going on,”

“it's good that you're alright, sad to say we don't know what's going on either,” I answered. Maybe Dean knows something about this, he was the first one to wake me up.

“oh is that so.... Well my name is karin Thompson.”

“nice to meet you I'm reanna and he's Dean,”

I wonder if other girls and boys are also here in this island. Girls on the beach not knowing anything jackpot!!!. Kidding.

The other girl also regained consciousness "gahhh!!!....Who are you people," she cried.

"whoa there.... Calm down, we just found you lying unconsciously here." Dean replied and tried to calm her down.

"unconscious huh... Anyways thanks dude for taking care of me my name is Heather Lestrange-" she shrug her arm at the back of her neck -"I know its a weird name." she smiled. it may seemed weird but I could have sworn I've heard that name before lestrange huh.

“I'm glad that the three of you are okay.” Dean spoke. he was worrying about us, maybe he is a good guy after all. Not your average boy then.

“so why are we here on an island again????” karin asked.

Dean put his fingers on his chin and started to tap his shoes “oh yeah!!.... Didn't you guys came from a cruise ship too?” Dean asked the three of us.

“ohhh yeah I just remembered, we were suppose to do something here,” I replied.

“correct, we better get going if we're going to do something here.” said Dean. We started to get up and walked, him taking lead we venture in the forest.

Although I felt a strange presence around him, its like someone you don't want to mess with. I could see him smirking. What is he thinking to give off a smirk. Or did we get ourselves in the cats trap.

Not knowing anyone in this situation is really bad. I hope she's OK too. The three of us looked at behind dean. I don't like being around him anymore. Sor-

Dean suddenly stopped walking “are you guys going to keep on spying at us!” Dean shouted out of nowhere.

Wait what!!!, is that why Dean is smirking. Where are they, the three of us looked around while Dean is just standing still.

A sudden movement came from the leaves of the tree beside us “you got good eyes I will give it to you.” a woman appeared along with three guys surrounding us.

“you three stay close to me.” Dean demanded us to stay close to him. Will he be able to take them out all at once.

“whoa there we won't deal with you don't worry.” the girl replied “not yet atleast.” as she said those words they vanish out of thin air. Never to be seen again.

It was a good thing that Dean manage to find us, if we haven't met Dean we wouldn't have seen them. Seeing someone like that, Dean sure is someone who will protect us. I was relieved to be on his side. Thank you.

He turned around with a smile on his face. “are you guys alright.” Dean asked.

“yeah thanks to you.” Heather replied.

Karin grabbed deans uniform “t-thanks for protecting us” she stuttered. I guess she was scared. Based on that she's the gentle type.

“yeahh thanks to you Dean, how did you know someone was watching us,” I asked.

“oh don't worry about that now, let's just keep moving shall we,” Dean smiled. He looks innocent to be honest but it looks like there's more to him than meets the eye.

We started walking again, leaving mindlessly about what happened. We stayed close to Dean this time..... Just to be sure we were safe.

Especially karin, she looks scared than any of us. I couldn't blame her to be honest, although I won't ever forget those faces we encountered. Heck maybe Dean already implanted them on his mind.

-

We've been walking for atleast twenty minutes now. Dean was carrying karin on his back, her face was sweating and she was breathing uncontrollably. All of us are sweating and exhausted but karin was sick so Dean insisted to give her a piggy back ride. Even with all of this shade from the trees, it was still hot as hell.

“hey Dean, how long are we going to keep on walking?” said Heather. She's right we've been waking for twenty minutes atleast.

“I know all of you are tired but trust me we are almost there,” he replied.

“what do you mean almost there??” I asked. Wherever his taking us there should be a spa. Just saying my legs hurt as fuck, it felt like we've been walking while carrying heavy luggages on our backs.

“did you guys really think I just woke up when I met you dudes??-” he replied. While swiping the sweat on his forehead.

-“the truth is, I woke up hours before I manage to found you three.”

“so what you mean is, there's already a meeting place you encountered Dean??” Heather asked.

“yeahhh.... it's actually a dormitory”

“wait what!!” I shouted. Surrounding birds flew away. Heheh sorry.

“you serious-” Making that smug look on her face. Kinda cute hehe.

-“wait I thought you just said you don't know what's going on” Heather added.

“yeah I don't,but you guys didn't asked me where are we going until now,” he gave us a smirked. This fucking guy makes me wanna punch him. Too bad karin is on his back.

“about where we going like I said it's a dormitory, other students are already there.... I just volunteered to scout more people on the island but I havent seen those guys we encountered,” he replied. Then who are they??.

“maybe those people also volunteered to scout other people??” I asked.

“let's just hope so,” he replied. I'm hoping we don't encounter them again, it really looked like they wanted to mess with us. I'm still glad Dean was with us, we wouldn't know what to do when he wasn't around at that time.

Dean was breathing heavily and sweating rapidly “y-you know what, let's take a break I'm exhausted” Dean requested. While he lay down karin under a tree. Me and Heather rush to her and sat beside her, we also lay down and closed our eyes.

“don't worry a thing I will keep watch you guys just sleep for 10 minutes then let's keep moving” we nod our heads showing that we agreed. This day has been so tiring, we even don't know why we are separated from the first place. This couldn't get any weirder.

5 minutes had passed and I already got up, even though its a little too early. Seeing Dean laying down on a branch of a tree to keep watch, he waved at me and I waved back.

“by the way..... Can I ask you something Dean???” I asked.

“what is it??” he replied. While closing his book, he always had a book on his pocket huh. Looks like a novel to me.

“did you notice anything weird at all??” I asked without any hesitation. My guts is telling me something is definitely wrong.

“when you think about it, the only thing I notice so far is why are we sent here like this??? Why are some students unconscious??? did something happened?? Did our boat sunk?? Who knows I'm glad that I'm not the only one though, I mean surviving on my own has been my thing since I first enrolled here, even though it was just months ago,”

yeahh he's right it was just months ago since I enrolled to this school. But still all of this is just way to weird, heck are we even sure this is still a high school would do. I guess they would do everything to rescue us. If this is not a test atleast that's what I think.

“well anyways, you should wake them up. It's already been 10 minutes and we are almost there” Dean replied.

We are??!?!!

I rush to them and woke them up “hey!! everyone wake up, Dean said it's time to go” two of them got up feeling energetic. That's a power nap for you, it sure does work.

Its been another five minutes since our stop, trees, vines, logs and animals everywhere. It may seem peaceful but out current situation isn't. I'm afraid what comes next.

With two trees up ahead being covered by bushed, Dean rushed ahead and made a path, clearing those bushes the dormitory is visible “hey we're here,” Dean was pleased that we arrived safely.

Her jaw dropped seeing how massive the dorms were than the ones back at the school. Then Heather said “so this is the dormitory.”

“yup this is it alright, four school dormitory with different signs indicating our schools-” Dean looked at us behind him -“well anyways I'm going to my room, this is where we part ways” Dean added.

“yeahhh I guess so huh..... Hey Dean thanks for saving us back there... And for caryying me half of the trip hehehe sorry,” karin replied and chuckled. She couldn't help it, it was tiring to be honest. My legs are still killing me.

“I'm glad to meet someone as cool as you Dean, what you did back there was cool,” Heather added. Yeah he was cool alright.

“that's no big deal, hey maybe next time we could beat them up if we could encounter them again,” Dean smiled at Heather.

“sure why not!!!” Heather and Dean did a fist bump. I guess the four of us are friends now. New friends on the first day at this random island.

“you better not go and beat them up without us Dean,” I chuckled. Why did I said that we would just be in his way. Omg I'm so dumb. Pretty sure he could be then all by himself.

“sure that's what friends are for. Beating someone up is a friendship thing,” he sarcastically replied and smiled. Although we all knew he was being sarcastic. I mean who would enjoyed beating someone.

“HAHAHA!” all of us laugh together.

“well time for me to get going now, see you all later. Peace,” Dean walked to the sign of his school (glanmore high) so he's from that school huh. It's known for teaching boys martial arts and for girls kendo. It would have been cool if learned kendo.

“time for me to go as well,” karin hugged the both of us and left, she went pass the sign of leyborn high. A school known for arts and music. So she's into that.

“I'm going to, see you in a bit,” Heather left and went towards where her school sign were, Creylun High is known for science and reading. Guessing she likes reading more than science, maybe even both.

“I guess time for me to find my room, it's so strange four different dormitory exist for four different schools,” I said to myself. This day couldn't get any weirder. Sigh.

Maybe there's a reason why we've been sent here, to compete with each other it is a possibility. That's the only thing I could think off but for now, looking for her is the only option I got. I'm going to take a look around this parts of the dormitory let's see what I could find.

- (two months earlier)

July 1st of 2089. The school entrance ceremony is set today. 9am it should start so I need to leave my house before 9 then. Jeez I didnt know being in high school all the way in senior high school was such a big deal.

My mother peaked in my room “reanna, do you need anything else??” she asked.

“not really mom, it was said that our school will be providing our basic needs,” should I bring an extra pair of clothes just in case. Being prepared is kinda my thing.

“well if you say so... Are you going to eat with us??” she asked. Well it's still 6:30am in the morning I think it wouldn't hurt to grab a bite.

“sure mom, just need to sort somethings,” going away for 6 years will be a pain, this year I won't be able to be with them on Christmas. And for 6 years of my life.

My mom already left without me noticing. Gently touching my bed and pillow, maybe mom will put my other stuff on the attic. She better not throw away my collection of anime figurines.

Without noticing a thing I already lay down on my bed reminiscing somethings. Leaving my childhood behind definitely sucks. All of my memories will just be part of my life that I can't go back to. That's why they always say to enjoy your life to the fullest. Growing up sucks why can't we just be like peter pan and never grow up.

Well I guess time for me to move now or else I might miss the bus on time.
