“As I broke down and fell on my knees.

I felt the warm blood streaming down my face as I closed my eyes to ask God,

“Why? Why did you do this? Is this my punishment?

Will my mortal life end here?” I asked weakly and as I was about to blackout from exhaustion,

I heard a man scream from somewhere,

“NOOOO!” He screamed as I collapsed on the ground, my vision blurred as he looked tired and worried.

I smiled weakly at him as tears started to fall down on my bloodied cheeks.

“Goodbye…” I whispered meekly before succumbing

to the numbing darkness.”

I was suddenly blinded by the sunlight as I pried open my eyes, “Ow! Ow! Ow!” I yelped from the shock of the morning light. “Ugh…” I groaned because of how I hated walking up early in the morning and as I

decided to go back to bed, I heard a familiar yell from downstairs.

“KRISTEL MARGARET SUMMER I KNOW YOU’RE ALREADY AWAKE! DON’T YOU DARE GO BACK TO SLEEP! YOU’VE GOT SCHOOL TODAY!” My annoying nanny screamed with anger.

“YOU DO KNOW YOU CAN JUST SAY IT WITHOUT DESTROYING MY EARDRUMS!” I yelled back before I sat up and groggily went to the bathroom. “Ugh… Another year at college and It’s the last one before I graduate. To be honest, I really hate to leave but then again no school.” I chuckled as I splashed cold water against my face.

After I finished freshening up for the morning, I went downstairs for some breakfast and as I descended the stairs, I instantly saw my most favorite and annoyingh person in the world along with my equally favorite , “Good morning Che’Minda!” I smiled as I greet her. “Good morning too sleepy beauty!” She said with a chuckle.

Since birth, Che’Minda was always there for me. I never really knew who my real parents as I lived my first year in an orphanage. Lucky for me, I was the one she chose to be her adoptive child and after that she gave me a home to live in, food to eat, a school to learn in, and the most important of all things. Her never ending care and love for me.

I looked at her with a smirk. “Mindaaaaa, how many times do I have to tell you! Stop calling me sleeping beauty in the morning; it’s such an embarrassing nickname.” I rolled my eyes at her Ken chuckled a little. Minda then closed the fridge and leaned on it, “Honey, it’s just my way of saying how I love you.” She smiled and laughed. “Yeah, we love ya.” Ken merrily chimes in with a laugh.

That’s Minda’s Son, we grew up together and matured together. Honestly he’s the best person I ever met; he’s like a full blood brother to me. I then took a glance at the clock before realizing class starts in 30 minutes. “Oh shucks! I have to go!” I quickly gather my things and kiss both Che’Minda and my lovely brother before rushing to my car and starting up the engine. The engines roared as I drove my way to school.

10 minutes later

I arrived at school and parked my car in the school parking lot. I sighed, “Welcome home, Margaret…” I said to myself as I entered the campus grounds of Quinn Academy, a school of that mainly focuses on arts and academics.

‘‘So… Let’s meet up a-WHA!’ ‘A girl bumped into me while I was focusing on texting my friend. The girl fell down on her rump as her books and glasses sprawled across the floor.

The girl quickly took my hand as I helped her up.

“I-I’m so s-sorry, Miss Margaret!” She stuttered with her apology as I picked up her glasses and several books from the ground. “Hey, don’t be. It was actually my fault since I was too focused on my texting.” I smiled as I handed back her things.

“Go ahead, you’re gonna be late to your classes if you don’t hurry. Freshmen shouldn’t be late to their first day of school”

“T-Thank you, Miss Margaret!” She stutters again.

“Before you go, drop the Miss Margaret thing okay? Just call me Kristel.” I looked at her eyes along with a warm smile.

“O-okay!” She bows before quickly taking her leave.

A few minutes later

After that ordeal, I walked straight to my class and the moment I opened those doors of my class, I saw my erratic classmates come to greet me.

“Hey! There’s our favorite girl!” I quickly recognized the voice of my friend Tayler who is one of the top students.

“Hey Tayler, what’s up?” I said with a smiled as exchanged kisses on the cheeks.

In our class, we are exactly ten students and we consider this section our second family.

This room isn’t just any ordinary classroom. This room has sofas, a kitchen and many other things that make this classroom special.

“Welcome home, Margaret! How was your vacation?” Candy greeted me with a hug.

“It was actually great guys. It’s really great to be back!” I replied warmly as I hear a couple of girls we talking about something.

“Hey Mars, is it actually true that we’re going to have a new student in our section?” Asked Sheila,

“Yup! It’s true and I hear that the new student is a boy!” Hanna lets out a girly shriek as she finished.

“I’m already starting to get curious what our new classmate looks like.” Sheila asked herself.

“Come on, Hanna!” I’m still here!” Jacob said with a hint of jealousy.

“Just stop, Jacob. You’re not even my type,” Replied Hanna.

“OUCH!” We yelled in unison.

“W-what the hell, guys!” Jacob stuttered with his cheeks red. We roared with laughter with Jacob’s reaction.

The laughter slowly subsided as our advisor came in the room. “Okay class, please be seated.” Our advisor said with a calm tone as we quickly sat in our favorite seats.

Come to think of it, its been years we were the only students in our class why would they allowed another one?

“Okay class, I’m guessing you’ve already heard that we’ll be having a new student in this section!” The teacher said ecstatically when he opened the door of our class. “Class, meet Keith!” He shouts as the new student enters the class.

When he first entered the room I was like, ‘Gosh! He’s handsome!’ I’m sure he’ll fit right in this class. “Okay class! I’ll be leaving Keith to you guys.” Our advisor said before he left the class, leaving Keith to introduce himself.

Daniel, the brains of our room stood up first and walked towards Keith to introduce himself, “Hi Keith! I’m Daniel, the assistant to our head!” Daniel welcomes Keith as he shook his hand with a smile.

“And I’m Regine, Daniel’s property.” Regine said with a smirk as she introduced herself.

“Sup bro, I’m Blue.” Blue greets Keith a smile along with Sky who shook his other hand.

“Hi! I’m Blue’s older sister, Sky!” Sky merrily said as they exchanged smiles.

Keith smiled at them as each of the class warmly greeted Keith while I was observing them all from my seat. ‘For some strange reason, I just feel something is wrong with all of this or maybe I’m just hungry? Yeah, I think I’m just hungry.’ Standing up from my seat, I went straight to our class’s fridge, filled to the brim with various ready-to-eat products.

While I was rummaging through the fridge to find something to eat, I heard someone approaching from behind, to my surprise it was Keith. “

Hi? So who are you?” Keith asked.

“Oh yeah, I’m Margaret, Margaret Kristel Summer. Just call me Kristel.” I replied as I found some vanilla ice-cream to eat. ‘Mmmhhh ice-creaaaam.’ My mind blanks out a bit after tasting the ice-cream.

Keith cocks his head a bit as I ate my delicious ice-cream.

“Aaaaaand?” He asked with a raised eyebrow. I gave him the old NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS look.

“Aaaaand I’m the head of this section just so you know.” I smirked and all he responded with was just a smirk just like mine. ‘He’s actually pretty handsome but god awful annoying’ I sighed. “

So… Mr. Kei-“ He quickly cuts me off. “Oh please, Margaret, don’t call me mister. Keith is just fine.” He smirks.

‘To be honest, I have this peculiar feeling about this Keith.’ I thought to myself before talking to Keith again.

“Fine then, so let me lay down the rules of this section. First, I want everyone to be in time in this class. Second, I don’t want any fights in this classroom; we don’t need that right now. Third, I want everyone to participate in extracurricular activities when possible. Lastly fourth, we’re a family here and whatever we talk about inside this room stays in this room and also no secrets. Is that clear?” I look him sternly in the eyes as they all nodded.

‘Now all I need is to make Keith sign a contract that he understands all the rules and regulations.’ I thought to myself when I got the papers for Keith to sign. “Here,” I said as I also pass him a pen to write with.

I leaned on near the tabletop of the kitchen to rest for a bit, ‘Talking too long really takes a lot out of you.’ I sighed as I hear my other classmates still conversing about Keith before a sudden headache hit me real hard.

“Ughh… My head hurts all of a sudden.” Stumbling a bit, my friends started to notice and guided me to my chair.

“D-don’t worry guys. It’s just a headache.” I muttered as they look at me with worried eyes.

“So l-let’s begin shall we?” I smile weakly as they all nodded and went back to their chairs and opened their laptops, they still wearing that worried face.

We don’t usually study like regular kids or students here and there’s actually no proper teacher assigned to this class.

They all settled down, “Where’s the teacher?’’ I heard Keith asked Tayler. Tayler chuckled.

“ We don’t have a teacher nor professor ’’ Tayler said

“Why not?’’ Keith answer back

“ Cause we don’t need lousy professors’’ Regine added

“ okay” Keith nodded as a sign that he understand what the others was trying to tell.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

*Ring*

Good thing is already time cause I need to rest. My head still hurts, I looked at the time and its already lunch time.

I was walking down the hallway when I heard someone crying. I followed the voice and it’s coming from the school gym.

I seek in and hide behind the bleaches

“ Damn *****!’’

“ Slut!’’

“Bitch’’

She’s been surrounded by a group of girls and some ugly group of boys and making fun of that poor girl.

“ You nerd, How dare you to sit beside my boyfriend’’ the girl 1 said, then slap her.

What the fuvk! It’s that even a reason? Yu nah-ah mess with me girl. I interrupt there so called scene. Uh!

“ Hey’’ I said calmly

When they all suddenly turned around and looked at me, I was like, Oh gosh! Seriously she’s damn ugly son. I think some of them recognize me. Think of it that this I don’t know what kind of species she is didn’t recognize me, well let’s play.

“ And who are you Bitch’’ she said confidently, Im a bit impress of her attitude.

I searched for the person she was yelling to and get her.

“Hey, are you okay?” I ask her, I help her get up. She still crying. Damn I hate seeing people cry.

“ C’mon lets go’’ I said but before we go this ugly creature stop us.

“ Where did you think your going?’’ ohh! this is what you want.

“ Nicole, I think we need to go now’’ I heard them persuading this unknown creature to change her mind.

“ I would listen to them if I were you”

“ Why? Are you scared with this….’’ She looked at me from head to toe “ This bitch’’

“ Im giving you one last chance to turn around and walk away before I change my mind’’ Im arguing with an idiot creature, gosh!

“ one..” I start counting to make this over.

“ do you think im that scared nahh ahhhh’’ she said

“ Two”

“ Nicole I think we really have to go”

“Three’’

“ Hahahaha your texting your friend to asking for help?’’ she said with a childish tone.

I saw a signal from far away, “ so Miss Nicole Mercedes Ramos or should I say Mr. Nicholson Mercado Ramos’’ smart move Margaret.
