First day of school, I'm so excited while walking on my way, feel shy and nervous too. This school was one of the most ranked school in the city, Intelligence and Developing Skills Academy(IDSA). This is the school that my grandpa selected where I would study, and this is where some celebrities or the children of the politicians or the heirs of the known big business companies are studying. When I enter the gate, I was amaze by the surroundings of the school and the building is also big.

"wow! the school is so big and amazing. WOAHHH!!!" I said in my mind. I continue walking until I reach the entrance of the school building.

I'm a new student and it is my first time to study into an academic school 'cause I never go to school I just studied at the private library and hire a tutors. My grandpa don't want me to go in school that time it is because he don't like the lessons and the strategies of the school learnings. He want me to study in advance so that I can go directly to college in a prestigious university just like my other cousins who were became successful. He never let me go until If I turn into 16, he will let me go in school not in the library anymore. So, that's why I never experienced of studying in school since I was a child, and I never experienced to have a friend in school too. My only friend is my stubborn and naughty cousin that is older than me. We were together since childhood and also she studied here in this school.

"Sammy, my darl'!" she called me surprisingly and suddenly hug my back. Other students were looking and staring at us.

"Lely! you startled me", I said and feel embarrass.

So this is she, my beloved cousin Lely Moren, 19 years old a 2nd year collage of Intelligence and Developing Skills Academy (IDSA), her course is I.T. (Information Technology).

Lely was a real big sister to me and she treated me like a real little sister too, even we were just a cousin. Since when we were younger Lely always acted like this, she always teasing me and joking me around. She's so sweet and kind but stubborn and naughty sometimes. She hates when I call her "big sis" because she feels like she's an old lady. She prefers to call her nickname than a "big sis". Even if we are now 16 and 19, we still like a little kids if we were alone together and no one is around. We were just like a cat and a kitten, I always lose of her tricks and trap of her traps but I can also take my revenge.

We have the same hobbies, we like reading manga and watching anime series, we are both otakus. We were competing and arguing of our bias characters and sometimes we were making bets whoever in the two of us will can predict the story or the plot. Lely was more obsessed to an anime than me, she bought pictures or even a pillows that printed of her best anime characters and sometimes she requested me to draw her dream hubby that doesn't exist in this world. She never got a boyfriend because of these imaginary boyfriends of hers and also she is boyish, guys hate her and she hates guys too. Grandpa was worried about her that Lely will never have a husband in the future. I'm so happy when grandpa forced her to go on a blind date but she always refused and sometimes sneaked away. Lely is the only one who always makes me laugh and my only cousin in my whole family and my dearest sisterhood.

"It is your first time in school, Sammy. Are you nervous?" she said.

"Oh... no, no, I'm not..." I answered nervously and sweating heavily.

"Are you sure?... Why are you sweating so heavily?" she said curiously. "Hmmm... You're lying aren't you?"

"Ah?!, hahaha..." I hesitatingly laughed and swiping my sweats. "No I'm not lying...I... I'm telling the truth... haha. It is just because the sun is so hot! haha."

"Really? But today is cloudy Sammy and the sun was covered by the clouds", she said pointing up to the sky and tilt her head.

"Ah... yes that's right"\, *I was caught by the big cat\, poor me*. But I'm still acting being confident. "B...but I don't feel nervous\, anyway." I said lively.

"Hmmm... then stand straight, Sammy!" she slapped my back hardly. It really hurts just like my backbone cracks like a wall. Lely was just humored at me when I'm groaning the pain of my back. She puts her arm over my shoulder, what a boyish Lely! We walk together to the entrance and then separate to the different ways. She go to the senior department and I go to the junior department also. She patted my shoulder before we separated to our own paths, she said, "Good luck for your first day and make some friends, Sammy." And I just nodded at her.

After registering and fill upping some appointments from the office, the school-head escorts me to my department, class B1 grade 11, so that I can know where my classroom is. While we're walking on our way, the school-head ask me suddenly if why I school here.

"Sammy Graner, why do you want to school here?" the school-head suddenly asked. "Why did you chose this school?"

He is the school-head of this school, Mr. Leoffen Agostos, he's the classmate of my grandpa when they were in high school. He is strict and he was the most intelligent in there class, in their time, and the introvert student that always reading a book quietly. My grandpa told me everything before yesterday.

"Pardon me, sir?"

I was surprised a little bit of his sudden question.

"You're the grand-daughter of Mr. Willson Graner, right?" he asked gently and smiled. "Why did you chose to school here?"

"Ah, yes sir. Well, as a home schooler I've always wanted to study in school especially in Arts school. I don't mind if what kind of school as long as I can study and I can experience things. But, I chose this school because it is my dream also to study in an academic school since when I was just a kid. The course that I chose to study is only this school has and also it's not far from home. This is also where my grandpa graduating his high school, so, I chose this school to study to grab my dreams and my goals in life", I answered directly to the point to him and felt a little bit terrified. He still smiling at me and we still continue walking.

"If you wont mind sir, why did you asked me?" I asked him kindly.

" Because I had encountered before some students that are silent, they commonly had a problem situation like forcing to study to a school where their courses decided by their parents that they don't want to. So, I thought you chose this school by forcing because you looked down earlier and quiet since when we were in the office", he said and cross his arms below at his back. And we turn left and pass by the grade 10 room. The teacher greeted him while he's standing near the door when we were passing by. I bowed my head lower to the teacher and he bowed his head slightly too with a smile.

"...I thought that you were forced here to study in this school, so I asked you a question why you chose to school here, so that we could help you", Mr. Agostos continued. "But as I heard you're answer, your are not." he said gladly and glance at me at the back. What a considerate principal, he cares students problems too.

    Actually, I was quiet and felt down that time because I felt nervous while thinking if I could make friends or maybe if they will bully me. I'm scared to be bullied, because mostly students like me who never experienced school were bullied by their fellow classmates or schoolmates. Every time when they get home they always brought bruises from fighting, and in school always struggling then end up fighting. I don't want those also, I want quiet and piece.

That's why Mr. Leoffen Agostos thought that I was down because I was forced by my parents to school here, but it is not. I want to explain this misunderstanding but we already reached my classroom and I think Mr. Agostos already understood of my answer of his question, I think that was enough.

As we arrive, to my classroom class B1 grade 11, Mr. Agostos entered and the students stand up and greet him. I was surprised and I feel more nervous.

to be continue>>>>>

"Good morning, Mr. Agostos." (all students stand and synchronize greet).

As I entered the room, I was surprised and stunned because I never expect that there are a lot of students inside in one room. I think it's more than 40 students, and also they are so formal, they stand so straight. This is my first time in my whole life, they are so serious not like when I was home-schooled that I could laugh in front or not even greet formally to my tutors. I feel so nervous and more shy, I never had done this before and no experienced to talk or to say in front of many students. I just low my head down and breathe deeply.

"Good morning, Ok, everyone you may sit down", Mr. Agostos said and they sat down. "Let me introduce your new classmate, it is her first time to come in school because she was home-schooled and she never experienced as a student like you so be nice and be friend to her."

Mr. Agostos called me and he nod at me as a signal to come over in front to introduce. I step forward slowly and my heart beats so fast like I run over a 1000 meters and my sweats are flowing down like a rain. *Oh\, gosh what should I do? My sweats never stop flowing\, why it is so hot? My hands also shaking. I'm so nervous! I need to calm down\, calm down. Deep breathe\, deeeeeppp\, breathe.* I sighed heavily and clenching.

"He... hello, everyone my name is... is Sammy Graner. I'm 16 years old, my hobbies are reading manga and drawing. It is my first time here in school, so... so let's get along together and be friend to me." I smiled so widely and try to control my nervous.

"woah----", they murmured.

"Graner, you may sit in the 3rd raw in a 3rd line."

"Thank you, Mr. Agostus." I walk towards to my seat.

The bell suddenly rings so loud and I get startled as I sitting down.

"Ok, everyone your class is now began, so prepare and wait for your first period. I may now leave." Mr. Agostos said. "Bye class."

"Bye, Mr. Agostos and see you around", they stand and bow there heads and I just copy them. After that, I sit back and sigh, suddenly a classmate approach me.

"Hi!", She greeted surprisingly that made me startled.

"Oh, he... hello", I respond to her.

"My name is Mina, Mina Almara, just call me 'Mia'." she smiled so cute and talk kindly.

"I'm Sammy, Sammy Graner, just call me Sam."

"Oh, nice to meet you 'Sam'.", she grabs my hand and smiled so kindly.

"Nice to meet you too, M..Mia." I smile her back. Woah, she is so cute and sweet. I never thought she approach me first and be friend to me.

"So, Sam is it really your first time to study in school?" she asked.

"yes, since childhood." I answered.

"Oh, I see."

We continue chatting until the class began.

A few hours later, the bell rings, it's time for a lunchbreak. Everyone rustle and busy keeping their things and some are going out and go downstairs. While, I'm still busy keeping my things and Mia my new friend approach me.

"Sam, let's go have lunch together", she said.

"Ok, just wait a second."

After I finish keeping my things, I grab my lunch box and my pouch, I drop something. I try to pick it up but, a guy picked it up first. And that thing that I dropped was my secret letter, a letter that no one knows even my cousin haven't seen it.

"Oh, what's this?" the guy said and try to open the letter.

to be continued>>>>>

The wind blew through the window, there was a guy sitting and listening a music in an earphone. He seems he's sleeping.

As I drop my secret letter, there is one other guy picked it up and try to open it.

"Oh! eehh... no, no, don't..." I was shocked. I'm trying to grab the letter, but I slip and fall because of this damn shiny floor is so slippery. The "thud" sound of my fall is echoing inside the classroom. I'm so embarrass to get up, I feel like everyone will mock at me.

"Oh! Sam, are you ok?" Mia hurriedly approach me.

"Are you hurt?" the guy said and lend his hand to me.

"Oh, I'm fine", I take his hand to stand, "Thank you." And release it immediately.

On his other hand, he still holding my secret letter, thanks to my embarrassing fall that he delay to open it.

"Sam, is there something wrong with you?" she asked worriedly.

"Should we go to the clinic? That was a bad fall", he said with a kind face.

"Ah, no... I'm ok, no need to", I respond to him with a smile. "Ummm... by the way, can I have that letter back?"

"Huh?...Oh this? Is this yours?"

"Yes, I dropped it."

"Ah, I'm so sorry, but I didn't open it", he smiled so brightly.

I feel so relieved that I got my letter back. But, this guy is cute even Mia feel shy and blushing. His voice and his smile are sweet and he speaks so gentle like an angel.

"It's ok, thanks", I replied to him.

"woahhh... he's cute, Sam", Mia whispered to me and blushing. "I think his new?" she said in a lower voice.

She can't hold it anymore, she asked suddenly to him.

"Hey, I didn't saw you before. Are you new?" she asked.

"No, but I just don't often enter a class because I always busy with my projects of designing." he said. " I'm from the designing group."

"Oh, I see. I'm Mina Almara just call me 'Mia' and this is Sammy Graner just call her 'Sam', she is the new student here. We both are from the Arts group."

"I'm Allen Hamid, just call me 'Len'."

"Nice to meet you Len", Mia extends her hand for a handshake.

"Nice to meet you too to both of you", he takes Mia's hand.

"Wanna come to have a lunch with us?" Mia said.

"Oh, I'm sorry I can't, I need to go to my brother and have a lunch with him and also with my groupmates." he replied. "Maybe next time, we will."

"Ah\, well it's ok"\, she said with a smile. *I was rejected\, damn* Her face seems like she was really sad in hidden. "We will going now then."

"Ok, see you and thank you" he said smiling. "Have a nice lunch and see you around."

"Mmm... thank you Len." I said and nodded at him.

Mia and I leave the classroom and going down stairs, while we're walking I asked her of what she said earlier about the groups.

"Mia, what do you mean Arts group? I didn't know I belong to the arts group. Can you explain me about it?" I asked curiously. "Actually I didn't know if there were different kinds of groups, I thought that we're only studying in the same specialization or majors. Can you tell me?" I have no idea of what strategies of this school have.

"Oh, you don't know?" she respond. And I just nod my head.

"I thought you knew it so I didn't told you about it earlier", she said.

"You know, first timer... Home-schooled girl since young have no idea and knowledge about school strategies and regulations." I explained. "Right?"

"Yeah, right, but haven't you read the paper about the regulations and strategies of this school given along with the registration papers when you were fill upping?" she asked me.

"Paper? wait... I don't...", I'm thinking and flashbacking when I was in registration office, after that, I now remember something that I forgot to took it because I put it separated from the other registration papers and I just leave afterwards when I finished filled upping all the papers.

"Ugh, god damn I forgot to took it, I placed it on the table when I was filled upping." I scratched my head and just laughed embarrassingly. "But, you can still tell me now, right?"

"Yes, of course. And haven't you look at the board in our room of what group are you in?"

"The board? No, I haven't."

"Hah you're silly..." she smiled. On that board is where the rules and regulations of our school and classroom were posted and it is where you can know about the groups where you in and who are your members. Our seats were arranged by groups, the first raw are the music and dance group, the second raw is the fashion designing group, and the third raw is the arts and graphic designing group. So, that's why you were sitting in a third raw." she explained. "And also, not only that, the rankings and the scores are posted on that board, and every rooms had it.

"Are all courses also had a different groupings like us?"

"Not all, some others don't have."

"Ah, now I know", I nodded. "Hmmm... by the way, are there also clubs in here like reading club, sleeping club, or any clubs?"

"Yes we have. We have a lot of clubs, the gaming club, dating club, reading club, sleeping club, fan club, idol club and etc.", she explained and counting on her fingers. "You can see all the clubs on the board."

"Did you joined a club too? what club are you in?", I curiously asked.

"Yes, I joined in a dating club", she said confidently. " Our club is full of hunks and so romantic. Do you wanna join our club?" she exclaimed proudly and twinkled her eyes.

"No thanks, I'm not interested", I waved my hand.

"Ohhh... again"\, *rejected*

We continue talking until we almost reach at the cafeteria. As we arrive, we go in and get some food for lunch, but I just get a drinks because I already have a food in my lunch box. My grandpa pack a lunch for me to make sure that I don't skip meals because sometimes I skipped mealtime. He will scold me if I don't eat and not follow the time for meals.

After that, we sit to an empty seats and place our foods on the table. While we're eating, suddenly a group of guys approaching to the table next to us where is a one guy eating alone silently. They are five members, the tough one seems like he is the leader of the gang who sits in front of the quiet one. He grabs his food and pour to his head, and they laugh at him. The pitiful one didn't make a move he just cried while they continue pouring some juices and milk at him and making fun of him, kicking his chair and slapping his head. I feel so anxious while watching them bullying him so pitiful. I feel so bad to that guy and I want to stop them harassing him. No one will gonna stop them or help that guy, even a teachers, they just watching like a show.

"Mia, what's going on with those guys?" I whispered to Mia. "Who are they?"

"Hah... those are the gangsters of this school. Tsk, tsk, tsk, they always doing this everyday, making fun of him."

"WHAT?! EVERYDAY?!", I exclaimed in a lower voice.

"Hmmm", she nodded while drinking her apple juice.

"Why are they bullying that guy?!"

"(Sigh)...because that guy they rumored that he was from a poor family, his mother was a housemaid and having an affair of the chairman, I mean their boss." she said with a grossing face. "They said his father was in prisoned because he raped a ten years old girl and also accused in a robbery. They have so many debts and they haven't paid it. So his mother sell her body to their boss so they can pay their debts."

I was shocked after hearing his rumored story, but I didn't believe it easily.

"Do you believe them, I mean the rumor you've heard about him?", I asked to Mia with a serious face. "It's just a rumor. You must don't believe so easily."

"Well yes I believe, everybody knows that and some others are know well about his family's reputation ", she replied and bite an apple.

"Why they do that? Even they know his bad reputation there is no need to bully him, it's non of their business, it's his life... We should stop them or call a guidance teacher to suppress of their bully to that guy!", I'm trying to stand but Mia holds me back.

"No, you cant, even teachers cant stop them." she suddenly swallowed her food and cough.

"Why?", I gave the water quickly to her and she drinks it. She pulls me back to sit down.

"It is because that guy who bully was the son of the CEO of the biggest company in the whole city." she whispered. " He was from the D'shon family the 5th ranked of the richest clan."

"Hmmm... I see", I looked at them with a frown face. "So that is why they just easy to do because of there high and strong status." I suddenly stand because I feel so much anxious while watching a guy bully to a pitiful guy. I cant hold my anger to them.

"If that so, I'm going to call a police!" I said and grab my phone.
