Chapter 1

"Lukas!"

"Lukas!"

"Wake up! you're gonna be late for school!" Mom yelled from downstairs.

I woke up to the sound of total chaos. My mom was everywhere, she busy preparing everything. Double checking everything, from schools supplies inside our bags, lunches, snacks, to the condition of school shoes and ironing our uniform. I can't blame her though, since this is our first time in a REAL school. Me and my siblings. Since childhood my parents decided to home schooled me, my mom was traumatized about what had happened to her in high school.

She was bullied every time and everywhere, she was the prey in their school. Luckily she met dad, he was once a bully, he even bullied mom back then, but he later started to like her despite my mom's reputation. Hand in hand, they battled a never ending war of backlash, hate and harassment, but they held strong. They didn't gave up on each other and proved to everyone that their love for each other was real and genuine. I really loved their love story, they taught me to fight for right to love someone even if everyone was against it. Truthfully, I wanted to have a relationship as strong as theirs. To live in this world with someone you love beside you is what I aspire to have in the future.

"Lukas!" I snapped back into reality, I got out of my bed and quickly followed my mom downstairs. As I walk, I looked around to see what my siblings are doing. My siblings' rooms are also messy. They were busy preparing their first day at a real school. Just like me, it seems like they too are starting their first day absolutely nervous.

As we ate, I looked at the pamphlets lying on the table, digging through my waffles I smiled as I looked at my school's pamphlet.

Hellviana Le'vioure International. "The school for the elite". I was very lucky because I was able to be part of this prestigious. Not everyone can enter and learn in this school. You need to be a straight A student with great feedback from your previous teacher, a part of a financially blessed family, or just like what happened to me, get a personal invitation from the school itself.

"Mom, Dad! I'm heading out to school." I announced, glancing at them and giving them one of my killer smiles.

"Oh sya, aasikasuhin ko mona ang mga kapatid mo." She said. She kissed me on the forehead.

"Goodluck nak, pakabait ka." She added, and I head off towards school.

"Welcome to Hellviana Le'vioure International!" A girl, probably a senior, greeted us transferees. I looked around and saw people gathering in a small post.

"You new here?" A girl suddenly asked. She wore a simple dress and was clutching a few books. She had these chubby cheeks that made her look like a chipmunk. She also, clearly, didn't comb her hair but honestly she really rocked it off.

"Yeah, you?" I asked.

"Technically, yes, but I was here when it was just under construction." She said, hand combing her messy hair.

"I'm Catriona Evangelista Cameron by the way." She said, she offered her hand and I gladly shook it.

"Lukas, Lukas Auza Pallestrina II." I said. Suddenly a girl came out of nowhere. Naka simangot ang mukha. Nang tumingin siya sa amin ay biglang nag-iba ang ekspresyon ng mukha niya.

"Ewwww, Catty! Marupok ka talaga!!" The girl yelled. Agad namang hinampas ni Catriona ang babae. The girl just giggled in response.

"Hoyyy! Hindi ah! Kinausap ko lang tong transfereeng toh!" Catriona defended but the girl ignored her.

"Mga dzaiii! Catriona is Marupok naaaa!!" She called out to a group of girls talking outside the gate.

"Hazel!! Ano ka ba kakalat na naman to!" Sabay hampas agad ng babae nasa harapan namin. Hazel. Cool name.

Parang zombie hoard silang dumating. Isang grupo ng mga babae na at first glance palang, you'll know, they're trouble. They were all unique girls, may payat may mataba naman. May maayos ang pananamit at may hindi naman. I wonder if these girls are taken already cause honestly baka pwede kong diskartihan ang isa sa kanila.

"Boob! Transferee oh!" Hazel said to the girl wearing a simple pink floral dress at naka ponytail ang buhok.

"Shonga! Kung iisipin mo ng maayos...Transferee tayong lahat." Sabi ng isang babaeng naka Tshirt at jeans.

"Hahahahaaha joke lang pohhh." Sabi ni Hazel.

*Kringgg*

The bell rang and in an instant every single one of the students ran and hurriedly head towards their respective classrooms. Nagulat nalang ako sa nangyari tatakbo na sana ako ng maisip kong hindi ko alam ang classroom ko. I looked to the girls na hindi man lang kumilos, nakatayo lang at nag chichikahan.

"Alam mo ba ang room mo? Baka classmates tayo ha!" Catriona, the girl with chipmunk cheeks asked.

"Grade 9 kaba?" A girl eating a lollipop asked, she was a short girl, her morena skin complemets her dark silky hair.

"Yes, under St. Augustine?" I replied.

"Oh, classmate nyo nga Cat." Ani niya.

"OMG!! Yesss may gwapo kami sa room." Biro ni Cat, tumawa nalang ako ng nagtinginan na sila sa akin... Ang awkward talaga ng first days.

"Likana! Nag ring na yung bell!" Sabi ni Ms. Floral dress. Dahan-dahan na silang naglakad palayo ng nag salita ako.

"What about me?" I said, huminto sila sa paglalakad.

"What about you?" Catriona asked, her brows arched.

"Well, I don't really know where to go at this point. Pwede bang may mag tour sa akin?" I said, acting like I was helpless.

"Hindi kaba naka abot sa campus tour kanina?" Tanong ng isang babaeng naka ripped jeans ang suot, akala ko bawal ang ripped jeans sa eskwelahang ito, guess not.

"Hazel, ikaw na magtour sa kanya." A girl wearing a pink dress said, her hair was tied and she has this foreign beauty, baka half american siya o kaya pinagpala siya sa genes.

"Bat ako?" Hazel protested, she folded her arms gave the girl wearing a pink dress, the look.

"Eh chismosa ka eh! Saka alam mo naman ang mga lugar sa school tutal School Officer ka diba."

....

"Fine, let's go new blood. Atleast makikita ko si Crush mah Babe."
