Chapter 1: Prologue

"Ring!! Ring!!"

"Megan! Wake up! It`s already morning! And today is the first day for you to attend a real school!"

Aren`t schools supposed to be real? From the noise below my mom shouted, I was sleeping at the second floor. I did not wake up because of the alarm clock. The one who woke me up was my mom.

"It`s already morning huh"

Slipping out of my bed, I yawned, then open the curtains of my room. The sun was already so bright and it`s still 6am in the morning. Today is June 3, the day when school starts. I was enrolled by my mother in New Ormoc City National High-school. And today I will be a grade 7 student.

"I should prepare"

I exercised for a while then proceeded to the bathroom. When I was still suffering from my heart disease. I was so thin, the reason why I was home schooling because of getting weak just by walking towards our class room, and specially the discrimination from my former classmates.

My former classmates teased me and sometimes called me a walking stick, it hurts so much to be honest, as if I don't want to come out from our house anymore. When my parents noticed that I was always bullied, they decided to let me home school. Hiring a private teacher.

I was operated last year and a half. I only come out to our house If it`s the schedule of my weekly check-ups. Then after that, the doctor allowed me to exercise and to do sports.

My family owns a restaurant near at our school, and the earnings was high, so we don't have any financial problems. By doing sports they wanted to hire a private basketball coach but I immediately tell them that is not needed anymore. The operation that I had already cost much, including the private teacher. And then, they wanted to hire a private coach too. The reason why I immediately decline their offer because of the money they spent too much for me. I decided to self-practice just by watching YouTube.

"I really do change so much".

Looking at the mirror, my body became muscular. But not too big, just a lean body with muscles in it. And my height is also 5`6. Too tall for a grade 7 student, but what I`m very shock about is my face.

It`s like I became handsome because my body looks normal now.

"I will be late if I keep staring at the mirror"

I immediately looked for my uniform, the upper shirt of our uniform is plain white with a logo from our school in our chest pocket, and a red collar in the neck. While our lower is just a normal black colored slacks. But the school also allowed us to wear our own jeans, but boys only. The girls are forced to wear skirts.

Finish preparing, I looked at the mirror again to check if it`s done properly.

"Yosh! It`s all good to go

I went out of my room to eat breakfast. The moment when I was about to enter the kitchen, I bumped with my sister, she fell down with her butt on the floor.

"Sorry Megan! Are you alri.."

Her voice stopped. When I look at her face, her cheeks was dyed red. I don't know what did I do to her, maybe she was just hurt.

"Sorry Alyssa, are you alright?"

I offered my hand to support her by standing up. She did not look at me and only averted her eyes.

"N-no, I`m fine. I`m sorry too for not looking at my way"

We exchange smiles then went to the kitchen. Alyssa is my adopted sister, one year older than me.

She`s a beauty and also a grade-8 student.

"Megan you look more handsome now"

While eating, my mother complimented me. I was flattered and happy when I hear it, but did not react physically.

After finish eating, my sister left first. She was the Student council president in our school. I checked my things to prepare to leave, for a moment I was still hesitating if I can really adapt to a school where there are many people around.

"Megan, it`s okay. Think positive you can do it now!"

With a short inspiration from my mom, I feel motivated.

"Mom, I will leave now"

The class will start at 7:30 and it`s already 7:20. But it`s still the first day of class, my sister said that It will be okay to be late but just only for today.

Calling for a tricycle, when it stopped I ride it immediately. The motorcycle was made by two sits at the back that can fit four people and one sit at the front to support up to two to three people.

The people inside the tricycle have the same uniform as mine, I should follow them because I don't have a sense of direction. The girls inside the tricycle was staring at me but I did not mind about it. I used my headset to act as if I was just listening to a song and did not know that they were staring at me.

When the tricycle arrived, I immediately got off. I can see the school gate in the other side of the road. Waiting for the traffic enforcer to make a signal if it`s allowed to cross.

"Prrrrt!"

The traffic enforcer blew his whistle and make a hand gesture that it is now allowed to cross the road. I was waiting for the other students to cross because I don`t even know how to cross roads in truth. The reason was obviously I`m always at home.

"Wait? Is that my sister?"

As what I know, She`s always at the gate first thing in the morning, holding a notebook as if she`s checking a list.

"Megan! You're here!"

My sister shouted at me with a smile from here face, the other student council members looked at the direction where Alyssa shouted, their eyes was wide open the moment they saw me.

"Guy`s this is my brother Megan! It`s his first day for attending a school. I hope you will treat him well!"

"Hi, my name is Megan Ballais. As what she said, I`m her brother"

Alyssa proudly introduced me to her friends, and also I reintroduced myself. But why are they looking down? Sigh… I should mind about it.

"Alyssa, I should go now. I`m ten minutes late already. But I forgot where my room is"

"It`s okay! I will come with you! But first, let`s go to the faculty office to meet your homeroom teacher"

Alyssa escorted me towards the faculty room, the school looks the same as other schools but the difference is, this school building is large and the amount of students each room exceeds fifty plus.

The school hall was silent because the students are in their respected rooms now.

"Yosh! I`m ready to meet my adviser"

We arrived at in-front of the door of the faculty room.
