Chapter One

Natsumi

I am the type of person who does not lose the people around me.

The kind of person you don't want to face on the road or just collide with.

I got up quickly when I woke up, I looked at the time on my phone and I was not surprised when I was ahead of my alarm.

I decided to ventilate on the veranda first while spending time. On the first day of class but I feel lazy to enter.

"Very small ever." I just said as I watched the cars from here upstairs of the building where my unit is.

Until now, maybe my parents are still busy growing the business or they are still trying to adjust the plan they have been hiding from me for a long time.

I left their power to get away and escape something I would never agree to.

I almost jumped in shock when my phone suddenly rang. I just forgot to turn off my alarm when I woke up.

"Oh. Good morning Natsu." My pet woke up.

My dog that I always have here in my unit and the mansion. I always talk to him even though I know he will not answer me, whoever sees what I am doing they will think I am going crazy.

"You want to eat? Come here, here's your food." I said to Natsu as I patted his head. I quickly gave him his food.

"Stay there okay? Later I will call Alexis to base you huh?" I added before I go C.R.

I took a bath, got dressed, and got ready. It is a black skirt above the knee with a long sleeve blouse and black necktie. Who thought of this kind of clothing? When I get to the University I will change the uniform of the students.

I immediately called Tito Luis to deliver to the University. A friend of my parents but he chose to fetch me all the time rather than someone else to take me to my destinations.

Even though I already have a driver's license, my parents still insisted that Tito Luis take me to my destinations.

After I called Tito Luis, I called his daughter Alexis to look after Natsu. Later we will go to the mall to buy her things.

I ate and was ready to leave. I was about to open the door when suddenly someone rang the doorbell.

"Oh Alexis, you're already here. You know what to do here huh?"

"Okay, Ate. Thanks and be careful!"

"Okay, I'll go now."

I walked to the elevator to get to the parking lot. When I arrived, I immediately saw Tito Luis. He opened up the car door.

"Good morning, Nami."

"Good morning, Tito. Let's go to school." I said.

On the trip, I just fiddled with my cellphone. After twenty minutes I arrived, thank goodness there's no traffic. I was just right in time.

Announcement, all the freshmen please proceed to the gymnasium. Again all the freshmen please proceed to the gymnasium. Thank you.

I went to the gymnasium and my assigned seat. There are assigned seats because for different courses. I went to Fine Arts.

The program has started. About rules and regulations, different buildings by course and everything.

"And again, Welcome to Tri-Zumi University."

Tri-Zumi University. School for high society people, showbiz personalities, model, and for scholar students.

The university is full of plastic people and rarely real people who will show you goodness without plasticity.

We went to their respective rooms. As I walked down the corridor to my room, someone caught my attention. His face is familiar, I mean they are, but I just ignored him because maybe they just look like him.

I quickly got to my room. I went in and went to the end, behind the window so that it would not be obvious that I was sometimes asleep. When the discussion does not get my attention, I fall asleep in class.

Air-conditioned room with white paint on the walls. Mahogany colored armrest and a blackboard and a whiteboard in the front. It has a large classroom that can accommodate fifty students.

I was about to go to close my eyes for a moment plus I was bored earlier when suddenly someone approached me and spoke.

"Ahm. Excuse me, Miss," she says

I looked at her and replied "Yes? What can I do for you?" I ask.

A girl wearing makeup, well she almost looks like a clown with the thickness of her makeup on her face. I do not understand why you need to put thick makeup on your face if you know in yourself that you are beautiful.

You are about to enter class but why do you have to put so much make-up on your face?

"If you don't mind, can you just move a seat? Because this line of chairs including that." at the same time she pointed to my seat. "is reserved." she said with a sigh of annoyance.

"It's that’s so? As far as I know, this chair is school property and there is no place for VIP here." our classmates looked on as well as those who were coming. My voice is quite loud.

"And besides, there's a lot of chairs over there so they can sit where ever they want, and then I'm comfortable here. I want it close to the window because I want to see the view outside. Is that okay with you?" I asked her. Her face showed shock as well as my classmates.

I don't like to be rude, but if I know I'm right, I can't help but be rude to them.

She was a little irritated and then left to go to her friends. And I just looked outside. She just approaches me to say that? The hell. And why were my classmates surprised by what I did? Is the woman famous?

Almost everyone is here. Three more seats are empty. Two chairs next to me on the right and then one of the next group of chairs. It was parallel to my seat. After a few minutes, our Professor arrived.

"Good morning class, sorry for being 15 minutes late, we just have our meeting. By the way, I am Mrs Hernandez, your adviser in a whole sem. I hope we all get along. So, we have no lesson because you will introduce yourself here in front and I can let you ask a question to those who come here in front. Okay let's start. " ma'am said cheerfully.

Our Prof is late, and someone is even later than her. Well, if you have the money you can do anything you want. But I am different from them. I valued every single second of my time.

My classmates started introducing themselves and the three seats were still vacant. Model, actress, rich etc. my classmates. The one in front of me is done. It's my turn now, so I went now to the front.

"Okay, introduce yourself." She said while smiling at me. The woman earlier who look at me like she’s going to eat me alive? As well as her friends.

I smiled at them and took a deep breath before I speak.

"Hi, I'm Natsumi Miyuki Ree Harakazumi, 18 years old. I hate bad influence, that's all and I hope all of you can be my friends." That's all I said.

"Ma'am!"

Someone raised my classmates, he's a boy, and I know he'll ask a question.

"Yes? Stand up." command ma'am

"Uhm, I just asked. Do you have an offspring?" seriousness was obvious on his face.

"Yup, I'm one-fourth American, one-fourth Filipino and half Japanese." my answer.

"Who is Filipino?" he asked, it's not obvious he wants to know eh?

"My mother is half Filipino and half Japanese, and my father is half American half Japanese."

"Ahh. Okay." that's all he said and then sat down.

"Thanks for the question." I smiled and took a bow. That's our habit. And I returned to my seat.

Ma'am said her rules on her subject. In the middle of the speech of our Professor, my female classmates began screaming. Their voices can break dishes.

Why are other women like this? Just find someone handsome to die for. Why people nowadays is like a human-size horn especially girls?

The scream of my female classmate intensified when the three men entered our room. This is the first day of school but they are late? Do they accept late students? I think I need to fix that habit of some students. Late attending in their class.

Why are they looking at me? What the hell is their problem?

I just stare at them too, I’m not afraid of them.

"Tsk, brat."
