8_Hello

"Really... Thank you."

The boy couldn't move.

He was frozen.

The smile that Lucius showed was too beautiful.

"It's nothing", he said with a blank face.

"I mean. It was my fault, to begin with. I'm sorry about that.", he bowed to Lucius because he really regretted it. He never regrets his action, but he was a bit fearful when he saw his reactions. It was scary because it looked like he would disappear out of nowhere.

"No, it's fine. You didn't do anything wrong."

[He was the cause, but the problem lies in me. I wanted to change but I didn't want to show myself. So, in the end, it was because of me not because of him. He only opened my eyes.]

Lucius was grateful to him. He almost faked himself once again without realizing it and it was because of him that he didn't drown in his thought. So, he really didn't need to be sorry.

"Is everything okay?", the man with green eyes asked.

"Yeah, did something happen?", the other boy asked.

The two of them didn't know what happened because their talk was drowned when they moved the desks. They only noticed when they heard someone screaming. When they came, they saw them talking and waited for a while because they didn't want to meddle in their discussion.

"We are fine.", said Lucius his smile gone but you could see that he was in a good mood, so they didn't ask further.

"It's good that you're fine. If it was someone's fault it would be his, right? He's always so straightforward that he always gets in fights." while saying this the brown-eyed boy pointed at the gray-eyed one.

[Ah. His eyes turned back gray.]

Lucius found it fascinating how his eyes changed colours. It was amazing.

"You...", the boy looked angry at his friend.

"Haha", the man laughed.

"Let's resume with our work. It is almost time. So, stop fighting."

"We aren't fighting!", said both at the same time.

They looked at each other and walked away.

The man was amused about this. He too walked away while laughing a bit.

Lucius was the only one remaining. He looked out of the window and saw the sun shining in the sky. It was refreshing.

[It's a long time that I looked at the sun.], while thinking this he walked to the blackboard where the boy was already resuming drawing.

It was peaceful. You could hear the noise of the moving desks and chairs and the sound of the chalk moving on the blackboard.

People are entering the classroom. Boys and girls come together and sat together with the already seated people in the circle.

They looked at the blackboard and were surprised.

"Wow! The drawings are beautiful."

"Does anyone know what those flowers mean?"

*WHISPERS*

They talked and whispered to each other and there formed a peaceful atmosphere.

*CLAP* *CLAP*

They suddenly stopped talking when they heard someone clapping. They looked at the person who was clapping and he opened his mouth to begin talking.

"Nice to meet you. I'm your homeroom teacher. We will introduce each other after the speech of the principal. We are now going to go to the gymnasium. So, get in the line."

The person who spoke was the man with green eyes.

After his talk, the students went outside their classroom and formed two lines. The lines were split into girls and boys. The smaller ones were in front and the bigger ones at the back. They were 9 girls and 11 boys.

When the lines were perfect, he brought them to the gymnasium. There were already some classes but not everyone was there.

They stood at the place for them and just like everyone in neat lines.

After 10 minutes every class was present, and the principal came.

She was a young woman around her mid-thirties. She has light brown hair and dark brown eyes. She had a gentle smile on her face.

"Hello everyone", she said: "I'm your principal. My name is Aileen Miru and it's nice to meet you all."

[What a gentle voice.], Lucius thought.

He never heard a voice as gentle as her maybe he did, but he just didn't remember. But he knew that he liked her voice. Maybe because it's gentle or maybe he just liked her voice who knows but he just liked it.

"I welcome all the new students. I hope that you will have a pleasant experience and learn a lot. Know that everybody is the same here. There are no rich or poor only us. We are the Phoenix Academy and will only let the talented and hardworking in. Everybody got in because of their hard work. We hope...."

Like always were the speeches too long for comfort. Does somebody listen to the principal speeches? Who knows but we do know that the new school year has finally begun.

"I hope that you will have a good school year and that we will see each other here again."

Principal Aileen ended her speech with that phrase and looked at the new faces in the crowd. She left with a smile on her face.

After she left the homeroom teacher-led their class to their own classroom.

"Now that everything is over let's begin with our introductions. My name is Iyan Lenoa. Like I told you before I'm your homeroom teacher.", the man with green eyes spoke and told the boy beside him to introduce himself.

"Hello, I'm...."

"Hey, my name is..."

"Nice to meet you, I am..."

...

Everyone began to introduce themself and it was finally the turn of Lucius.

"Hello everybody, my name is Lucius Chronoseus. It's nice to meet you.", while saying this he gave a small smile because [The first impression is the most important.]

"He's really handsome.", someone whispered.

"Yeah, and that guy there is handsome too.", while saying this she pointed at the boy with golden hair.

The girls were whispering to each other and even the boys couldn't disagree because they too found them both handsome.

"But our homeroom teacher is quite handsome too. But if you compare him with the other two, he is just...normal."

"But if he is normal. What are the other guys then?"

"Okay students. Stop whispering and listen to the next student.", Iyan said.

It was finally the handsome boy number two turn.

He began to introduce himself: "Hello, I am Erebus Des Luciferon."
