Lots of friends but there is a devil.

In the morning I was thinking what would happen in the school.

Can I really make friends?

It was the start of the school days for me.

The morning was like a war in the house.

My brothers always go around arguing about finding another sock.

"Mark, Dayne be faster we need to go to school early." I said hurrying them. They are eating already but still arguing.

"Mila, be careful on your way." Mom said as she goes, and Dad will send us to the school.

We went to the school. While my father talks to the principal, we we're being tutored by the teacher.

"Okay, let's go to your rooms." We send my brothers to their rooms first and the teacher send me to my room as I introduce myself.

"Hello, I am Shameia Mila Ignacio Asuncion, and I am from Philippines. I hope you take care of me. Thank you." I said with an energy to work.

"Ms. Asuncion after the class go to the faculty. You need to catch up." The teacher said as she tapped my shoulder and she then left.

Someone approached me saying "Do you want to come here?". I look at him curiously. He looks kind and he was just smiling in front of me.

"Oh, I'm sorry to just ask you and not introducing myself. Hi, I'm Earl Gomez." He let out his gesturing for me to have a handshake with me. I hold his hand and handshake with him. He let me sit beside him.

Suddenly, I felt like someone looking behind my back. It was like I am having goosebumps. I look behind my back and saw someone looking at me with her piercing eyes. She has a hazel hair, her eyes we're blue, and she was beautiful but her smile. She smiled at me, but her smile seems like have other meaning. I look at Earl again when he called me.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, do you want to go with us later. I will introduce you to my other friends." He said. I just smiled at him and nodded.

"I think I can't go this time. I need to catch up with the activities and I need to go to the teacher later." I said.

"Then I will just help you to go their then and we can go to the canteen after." He said as he smiles at me.

As Earl said he help me get the activities I need to fill up my grades. On the past days that I am not here yet.

"Okay, we got these things already. We can go to the canteen first and other Filipinos are there." He said then my eyes widened up in excitement. Is there a lot of Filipino here?

"Are you also a Filipino?" I added.

"Yes" He simply answered.

"Okay, we're here." He said as I saw a group of people in one table.

"You can stay here. I will buy you food as a treat to welcome you." Earl said as he pulled out the chair for me.

"Guys, this is Mila. She was new here and she was also a Filipino." He said before he left to buy a food.

"Hello, I am Eric."

"I am Lei."

"Levinia" She was the girl earlier at the back. She was the one glaring at me.

"I am Clara."

"He is Rhys, don't bother to talk to him. He has breakdowns." Eric said.

"Call me Marco," He said coldly as he leaves.

"Is he always like that?" I asked.

"No, he was just going through something really serious." Lei explained.

"Let him be." Clara said as she smiled at me. I'm sure this woman is kind but that Levinia she sounds like she hates me.

"What happened? Where's Rhys?" Earl asked.

"He left." I said.

"I think he hate me." I joked.

"Don't joke like that. That man is usually kind. Did he offend you?" Earl asked.

"No, it was just that he kind of…"

"He is not that. He is going through something so… just eat. I'll talk to him later." He said. My brows furrowed when Rhys came back.

Why did he come back anyway?

"Sorry for being rude earlier." He said as he gets something on the chair and leave again. Huh? What does that mean? Is he insane for real?

The people here are getting weirder and weirder.

"IT'S FINE!" I shouted.

"Okay, Okay, let's eat. You still have a lot of things to do." Earl said.

"Okay." I just said and eat.

"Do you need any help from those activities?" Clara asked while I am eating.

"I'm fine, these lessons. I think I have learned them in Philippines if there's anything I need help. I will surely asked for your help." I said and smiled at her.

"Yeah, you should be in 8th grade this time, but you ended up joining 7th grade this time." She said.

"It is harder to study in the Philippines. Sometimes we don't even get everything we learn on our mind in Mathematics because we we're kind of scared with the teachers." I said while flipping the pages of the activities on a book. It's mathematics.

"So, do they here." Clara laughed.

"Are they all scary?" I asked.

"No. Not actually." Lei said as she was smirking out of a sudden.

Did he also lose his mind?

"Don't look at me like that. I might think that you have a crush on me." Lei said. What a narcissist. He was laughing like a playboy on those movies.

"Let's hurry, we still have a class after this." Eric and Clara said as they eat their foods.

I didn't eat a lot because I don't feel like eating anything. While we are walking through the corridors. I didn't think that Clara and Lei are also just in the same grade as we are, and Eric is older than us. Levinia wasn't with us in our next class. Thankfully I can breathe.

"Earl, can I ask you something a little bit personal?" I asked.
