Everything is New

A new school year has begun. I Luculia Serevano will ace my grades this school year.

I will not date anyone and I will not fall in love to a normie . As long as I have my best friend Chibi A.K.A Candice is always at my side

and also I have my family especially my sister who is a brat .

I'm not that pretty but they say I'm cute. Well I accept their compliments coz I don't want to be rude. Whenever I go I don't dress up like other girls . I only wear big shirts and jeans then I put my sneakers on , sometimes I wear my hoodie .

Well today..Me ,My Sis and my parents are moving to a new house which we could build up our business again and also to live there . My Mom is the best cook for me ! . I even drew a menu for her .. the dishes I mean.

A new day has started Luculia and her sister Andie where packing their things up . Andie is excited to move out and she also wants to see the new house .

"Sis? Are you excited? I can put my dollies in my room !! , I can't wait to see our new house ! ". Andie

"Yeah²! You can fill your room with dollies ! Just don't pester me when I'm studying ! or I will let you see the video on how I dissect a frog !" . Luculia

Andie rolled her eyes at her elder sister then she went out of the room .She left her Sister packing up the things that they will bring to their new house. After packing up , Luculia grabbed her Biology book then she went to the car. Her parents where waiting for her and also her sister. "Hurry up ! Luculia! " . Luculia's mother was yelling outside because Luculia was a slow poke. Her mom was worried maybe the Truck with their furniture and things might arrive first at their new home and no one could supervise .

Everyone was on the car with their seat belts on. Luculia's Dad started the engine as they drive away to the streets . Luculia saw a lot of beautiful sceneries such as trees with a lot of vines. Some Landscapes and some Rice fields . "Are we moving to a farm ?"Andie asked.

"No sweetie,We are moving to the best neighborhood in town !" Luculia's Dad answered . After that they have arrive at their destination . Andie and Luculia was shocked .

The house is not a Mansion or a Villa. It is just perfect for the four of them to live in and a good place to start her Mom's businesses . A place where a restaurant could be . Its a two story home and it's different from the house that they where living before.

Before their house was an apartment and her Mom will take a cab just to run her business . Its about 25 kilometers away that's why her parents planned to buy a new house to run their business well.

And now the plan about moving out work out well . Luculia's parents chose a home for their own kids to grow and also they could grow their business at the neighborhood .

Luculia's Mom said "Everyone start unpacking , Both of you help your Dad with our furniture !"

Luculia and Andie was carrying a box and went upstairs . They place the things that needs to be place and while placing their things Andie saw a lighthouse . She called her sister and told about the lighthouse near their neighborhood and also there was an beach . Andie was excited to go there but Luculia ignored her Luculia said that Andie should wait for their Mother's approval at going there and they should ask a permission .

After unpacking Luculia's Mom called both of them and she ask them to have some fruit and Andie gets the fruit from the table and went up the terrace . Andie was bringing a melon to her sister .

Luculia and Andie was eating the melon that their mother gave , but Andie was messing around , and Luculia asked her to clean it all up but Andie just did some silly face at her sister . Luculia got angry so she threw the outer part of the melon to her sister but Andie dodged .

The melon she threw went down

Cons:. Their mom might get angry because Andie was messing around and couldn't clean up that's why Luculia got mad and threw the outer part of the melon which Andie dodged .

Luculia and Andie's mom called them because her mom opened their restaurant at the first day as they move to their new home . Andie rushed downstairs and she wants to tell mom about Luculia did to her

A customer wants to order and Luculia's mom called Luculia to entertain the customer . The customer was a cute handsome guy his has brown hair and his eyes are also brown he really looks cute and he also has dimples .

" May I order some vegetable salad ?" Guy

Luculia was stunned and she keeps staring at the guy .

" Excuse me Miss ?"

" Oh.. Sorry .. Coming right up ..!" Luculia

Andie saw her sister blushing after seeing the customer then Andie had an idea on telling their mom about this .

" Mom would love this .." Andie

But Luculia heard on what she said then she grabbed her sister's hand and talked to her .

" Where are you going ?"

" I'm going to tell mom about this !"

" If you are going to tell her then I'm also going to tell about the melon incident ."

" Its a one on one situation sis ! Now choose .." Luculia said this to her sister gently and with a calm voice . Andie listened to her sister and she just continued unpacking . Well maybe her sister is sick about hearing her Mom's words to discipline them . Luculia smiled at her sister and she was thinking it's really bad manipulating someone just like what she did at her sister . .

It was night already Chibi was video calling Luculia and she was asking how Luculia feels about moving out . Well Chibi and Luculia chattered here and there .

***Chibi ." So you have encouter a cute handsome costumer ? Maybe that is an angel that has fallen from the sky ! Maybe he's the one ! "

"What are you talking about ? What do you mean the one ? We are just the same we are both Homo sapiens and also he was gifted by good looks*** !" Luculia responded .

"Well ..Both of you have a heart it means both of you can fall in love .. and also the guy you saw has two pair oy eyes and you also have two pair of eyes it is not wrong about being attracted to someone . Well you are not Blind Luculia ! Of course you'll drool to a hunk like him ! " Chibi said this to Luculia while eating her dinner at her bed.

"Ughhh! Well I'm taking my entrance exam next day and I need to study well I miss you already My Chibi 😭! Let's talk again tomorrow ! " Luculia said this to Chibi and she was saying goodbye because she needs to study . She wants to study at a famous university so she is studying hard in order to fulfill her goals and achieve her dreams .

She let aside her laptop then she took her books and scan some pages , memorising formulas and writing some notes . Notes can help her study well and also she answered some of the practice test at the end of the page module . After that Luculia started yawning and she think about going to bed early . But first she took off her glasses and combed her hair . Luculia really have a shiny long hair but she is not lucky to have some good looks just like other people .Luculia just tooked 2 hours at studying because her Mom said she needs to get some rest.

Studying is important .You need to have a 8 hours duration of sleep in order to maintain a good health and a good memory . Of course she listened to her mom then she went out to her desk and leaped at her bed then snuggles her teddy bear as she fall asleep.

The next morning Luculia's Mom asked Luculia to buy some groceries but Luculia was still at her bed snoring. Her mom went upstairs and she waked up Luculia by spanking a flipper at Luculia's butt .

Because of that our sleepy bear Luculia woke up and she tied her hair into a bun . She quickly took a shower and dressed up . Luculia was wearing a purple hoodie and a jeans then she wore her white sneaker then she took her phone and earphones and also the money that her mom gave .

Luculia asked if she can ask more money because she wants to buy a Aristotle's Collection of books which is very expensive .But her mom refused well of course our little Luculia doesn't spend much money to makeups and beauty care . That is why our Little Luculia is not that gifted by looks , its because she doesn't care about herself .. she only combs her hair and doesn't care about her pimples at her face.

Luculia was saving just to buy Aristotle's Collection of books. In this case she was begging her mom as long as her mom would say yes she would stop . Well because her Mom was persuaded by Luculia's puppy eyes she agreed only if the money she gave has enough change for her to buy that book .

Although the money is not yet enough Luculia was glad that she earned additional of money just to buy the collection . Luculia kissed her Mom's cheek and rushed off to buy the groceries.But Andie said she wants to have some ice cream. Well as an elder sister , Luculia has no choice but to buy some ice cream for her sister then She took her bike with her and went off.

Luculia was at the Mini Mart . She really has the instincts about choosing cheap products in order to save money . The basket was full of cheap products but has a good quality and then she went to the ice cream section and bought one ice cream for her sister .After buying the groceries she saw a bookstore which Aristotle's Collection of books was also there. She took a peek then she saw the guy that was the first customer at their restaurant .

The guy saw her then the guy went out of the store . The guy was walking towards her.

"Excuse me miss, I need to get my bike ". The guy said this to Luculia then he cycled over and went home . Luculia saw the favourite book that she wants and the guy was a fan also of Aristotle . Luculia smiled and then she followed the guy .

The guy was cycling and didn't notice that Luculia was following him . Of course they are neighbors . Luculia is also cycling the same way as the guy went. After that Luculia arrived , Andie was the one who approached her first then Andie was asking about the Ice cream she asks a while ago . Luculia gets the ice cream from the basket at her bike then she gave it to her sister . "Your the best Luculia !" her sister said this while opening her ice cream . Luculia can see the bling at her sister's eye .

"Did you have any money left ?" Her mother asked . Luculia nodded saying its a yes . Even though it is not enough to buy Aristotle's Collection of books she is still glad seeing her sister happy to the ice cream she bought and also she was glad after seeing the guy again at the book store .

The next day ,its the day where Luculia takes her exams to the university she wants . Then she chose Haichaeng University . She was nervous but she also believed in herself that she can do it . Believing can also help you even if you get nervous . Her mom was praying to God that Luculia can pass the exams . Luculia went in at the university . The university was huge , It has a lot of departments .

A teacher was guiding the new students to the selected classrooms for them to take their exams.

The guy that Luculia met at the bookstore is one of the students at Haichaeng University . Actually he is Axcel and he is a Senior student

.

Currently he is staying at the schools dorm where he can concentrate studying and drawing some design and also a project from architecture department.

Axcel is a varsity player before and the captain of his basketball team but since he is already an senior student he retired because he is really busy at studying and his coach couldn't move on because Axcel is one of the best captains of their school's history but the coach has no choice but to select a new student to become a captain for their basketball team .

Axcel was passing by the court then his coach saw him . His coach was begging to comeback for their team . But Axcel gave his coach a clear reason . He is getting busy lately and He is doing a lot of projects . After that talk the new team captain arrived. His name was Klein .

Klein is also one of the schools heart throb it's because of his good looks and his sporty appeal . He is also talented and Axcel is his Senior . Since Klein have arrived the coach called the team for their practice but the coaches hand was at Axcel shoulder and he told Axcel something .

He told Axcel .." If you want to come back , just tell me anytime !".

Axcel just nodded and went off . He came back to his dorm and his friends was there .

Lorenze, Angelo , Cliff and Deither all of them are at the Architecture department . The five of them was working at their individual project which is a model that is made by sticks . A 3D model to be exact .

But Axcel forgot that he was running out of sticks that is why he went out and buy some sticks at the store . Luckily Luculia finished her Exams she went out at the university and went to the store because she wants to buy a drink .

At the store Luculia and Axcel bumped at each other . Then Axcel stared at Luculia . Luculia looked at Axcel but she quickly looked down and she was avoiding eye contact with Axcel .

Axcel smirked and Luculia was thinking about the day that the accident she made with her sister . She thought that maybe Axcel might recognize her .

Axcel spoked . " I think I met you before .."

Luculia was really shy ..she cant respond at the guy who is Infront of her. Axcel asked her . "Can't you speak ? Are you Mute ?"

"No , I mean yes I can talk !" Luculia responded . Axcel smiled , then Luculia asked where did the guy saw her . She didn't even face him at the accident that she and her sister caused.

"You are the new neighbor . Am I right ? ", Axcel said. Luculia nodded then Axcel gave his hand in order to know Luculia He is introducing himself . Suppose he is giving a handshake to Luculia .

"***Hi, My name is Axcel Benedict .

Benedict is my last name , and you are ? " .

"Oh , Hi ! My name is Luculia Serevano I'm a new student at Haichaeng University. I mean a supposedly new student I hope*** ."

Both of them introduced themselves . As they finish their conversation Axcel first said goodbye to Luculia and he said that he already bought some sticks and he needs to finish his 3D project .

Also he told Luculia that he is one of her seniors and he is at the Architecture department. Luculia also said goodbye . then she touched her cheeks . Her cheeks was burning and turning pinkish red . She thought that maybe the Senior saw her blushing .

Well .. maybe Luculia's words about not falling in love is just a lie. She fell in love with her Senior at the first time she saw him .

Luculia's phone was vibrating then she picked it up and she saw her mom was calling . Her mom was asking where she have been then she answered she just buying a drink because she was a bit thirsty . But Luculia didn't tell her mom about Axcel , the guy that she met and introduced himself at her . Luculia's mom said that she was waiting at the Outside Gate of their university. She is asking Luculia to comeback because she wants to ask a favour to her daughter .

Luculia and her Mom went home . Luculia's Dad approached her then he congratulated Luculia for taking her exams well. Her father Luculia and also Andie .

Andie was asking to her Mom that what if Luculia passed will she stay at the dorm or will she still stay here with us . Andie was crying she doesn't want Luculia to leave her and Andie is only five . She still wants to play with her elder sister. Luculia's mom answered "Well sweetie..Its for Luculia to decide ."

Luculia wiped her sister's tears and she told her that she doesn't know what to decide and she is not yet sure that she could pass the exam she have taken .

And she also said that maybe she couldn't pass the exam . Luculia really felt down about herself but her family cheered her up . They told them no matter what happens they are still at Luculia's side .

Luculia is really proud about having them as her family . Even though she can be a lazy pig sometimes , Her family supports her .

At this point Family should be everyone's priority .

Because they are the one who truly loves you and supports you .

"Okay , stop the drama ! Luculia slice those vegetables now ! I'm going to prepare our dinner ! " Luculia's mom said .

After the dinner Luculia was asked to wash the plates . Then her mom remembered the favour she wants to ask Luculia . Her mom asked her to go visit her grandma at the Retirement Home . She asks her to bring her grandma's favourite mushroom soup .

Luculia eventually agreed to her mother's favour since she already missed her grandma . When she was a child her grandma always read her some books that is why Luculia is really fond of books . She learned how to read when she was three and also her Grandma thought her about knitting and sewing . Sometimes Andie asked Luculia to make Doll dresses for her Doll and she even remembered about the Mango Pie Recipe her grandmother told her it is one of the best desserts that there restaurant have . Only Luculia knows about the recipe .

It was night again and Andie went to see Luculia . Andie knocks at the Door of Luculia's bedroom . At that time Luculia was chatting with Chibi . But then she heard someone knocking at the door .

Luculia hang up ., then she opened the door , then she saw her sister with her puppy eyes then she thought maybe her sister haven't move on about her moving out and transfer to the dorm only if Luculia passed the entrance exam .

Luculia hugged her sister then she told her that everything will be fine . Then she asked her that what does her sister wants .

"Andie ? You don't like me entering to a good university ? That means I can't buy you more dolls!" Luculia said this to her five year old sister.

After hearing Luculia said , Andie wiped her tears then she told her elder sister that when she finish school she is going to buy her a lot of dolls.

Luculia even told her that she can even fill her sister's room room with dollies and also she could buy a huge doll house for Andie's dolls. Andie smiled at her sister and she was full of excitement and also joy but with that short talk , Her sister was sleepy . Andie was yawning and Luculia carried Andie back to her room and she tuck her sister at the bed and kisses Andie at her forehead. "Goodnight my little bunny ! if I can enter that university I promise you to buy a lot of dollies ! " Luculia said this to her sister then she went back to her room .

Luculia called Chibi again her girl Best friend . They are really close ever since both them become friends since high school and also Chibi was their old neighbor at the the time when Luculia and her family was living at the old apartment. Every time Luculia would go to Chibi's House and play with her.

Sometime they would even create some gossips . The will do things just like other girls do . But when Luculia is with Chibi she doesn't want to study .

Its like she can have her free time with her Best friend . They could chat , gossip , talk about guys which only Chibi can thought about it and also they can eat their favourite snack . Since Chibi was the only child she was spoiled that is why she is fat . But even though Chibi is fat she is adorable . When Chibi and Luculia was at highschool Chibi really gets bullied because of her weight . She doesn't have enough friends and her only friend was Luculia .

The first when the met is when Chibi was bullied with two boys. They said that Chibi is ugly and fat , luckily Luculia stoop up for Chibi and told the boys that Chibi might be fat but Chibi is not ugly . She even told the boys that bullied Chibi that maybe one day The fat Chibi that they know will make them drool someday .

While Luculia was facing at her laptop screen and waiting for Chibi to answer the call , she recalls about how Axcel introduced himself . Luculia describes Axcel as one of a gentleman and also he is kind . Axcel treats people in a good way . She was attracted by his looks and also to his good deeds.

"Earth to Luculia ? Luculia !!! What are you thinking ? Is it your Prince Charming ? " Chibi teased Luculia .

Luculia rolled her eyes then crossed her arms . " Excuse me , Prince Charming 's name is Axcel " . Luculia answered with a tone of embarrassment .

Chibi laughed and was shocked about the doings that her best friend made. "She really have changed " Chibi said this at her mind but Chibi actually was glad about Luculia having a crush on a person . Well , Luculia only have Fictional crushes . Luculia even told Chibi that her crush was one of the teen fictional character that she read on Chibi's bookshelf . Luculia really loves reading .

"So ? Is he a normie ? " Chibi asked Luculia . And Luculia doesn't know what to respond . " I only met him at the Store Infront of the university that I was taking my entrance exam with . So my answer for that is ... I don't know.." Luculia answered Chibi's question.

Chibi's question makes Luculia curious about Axcel . She doesn't want to fall in love with a normie . " If he is a normie , would you still continue your feelings for him ? " . Chibi asked a question again .

"Well, its for me to search for an answer . Its like I'm at a Investigation game . I need to search some files I mean I want to know about Axcel ." Luculia .

"That's my girl !" Chibi said and she winked at Luculia . It already late and both of them are still awake and talking but Chibi ended their conversation she said that she needs to rest because her mom will take her somewhere .

Luculia nodded then she ended the call. She shut down her laptop then she took a graphite pencil and A sketch book . She drew the place where She and Axcel met . The Store across the University.

She even drew a guy that was shaking hands to a girl supposedly making friends with her and introducing their selves . Luculia keeps thinking about Axcel but also she is nervous about the Exam Results . Her mom told her that next two days the results will be posted at the School's University page.

She drew all the memories that she and Axcel created especially when both of them cycled together when both of them went home . Well Luculia was behind Axcel at that time but She wished that someday both of them will ride their bikes together or hold each others hands . She even imagine that maybe Axcel will take her first kiss .

"Luculia ! Go to sleep ! its already late !" her mom ruined her daydream about Senior but she made her mind that Senior will be one of her inspiration . After drawing she went to bed and she slept with the sketch book . She was hugging the sketchbook while sleeping.

Another day has passed . This day Luculia is asked to go to her grandmother and bring her some of her grandmother's favourite . The mushroom soup , her little sister Andie even made an letter for her granny .

Andie gave the letter to her elder sister . " Just make sure Granny will read this okay !? " Andie said this while handing down the letter she wrote .

" Okay ! I promise that !" Luculia gets the letter from her sister's hand then she put it at her backpack . Her mom said she needs to take a cab on going there. Her Mom gave her some money to use at transportation . Then Luculia head off and she went to her grandmother .

At the Retirement Home there are a lot of elder people . But someone caught her eye upon watching some elders and looking for her grandma . It was Axcel he was helping an old woman . He was assisting her to walk , Luculia was stunned she didn't expect that Axcel would do this .

A lady asked Luculia " Miss ? Who are you visiting?"

"Oh ummm... Carmella Serevano please .."

"Right this way ". The lady lead the way for Luculia in order for her to see her Grandma . Her grandma was sitting at the bench of the Retirement Home's Garden . Then he grandma saw her , Her grandma smiled her then Luculia rushed then she hugged the old lady .

Luculia asked why is her grandmother staying at the garden . Her grandmother answered " Its because the birds chirping really help me relaxe and I can find peace here ."

Her grandma was glad that her granddaughter visited her again . Luculia even brought her favourite , The mushroom soup . Luculia and her grandmother ate the mushroom soup together . They even have a long chat after that her grandmother was tired so she assist her grandmother going back to her bedroom . Then she tuck in her grandmother and she even sang the lullaby that her grandma use to sing when she was a little girl . She even put the letter of Andie beside her grandmother's bed. She kissed her granny's forehead then she left a note that she will go home now. She told her grandma that she will be back again .

While going home Luculia thought that maybe she would took the bus in order to save money and then she saw Axcel at the bus stop he was also waiting for the bus .

Luculia was beside Axcel then Axcel looked at her . "Its you again .." Axcel said . Luculia looked at him , now she can look direct at Axcel after introducing themselves at the store .

Luculia asked why is Axcel here at the Retirement Home . Axcel replied " My grandma is also staying there and I came to visit " .

The bus has arrived then the two them ride the bus together. " Here , you can sit beside me .." Axcel said this while offering a seat to Luculia .

Luculia sat beside Axcel then she blushed but luckily Axcel didn't saw her blushing . Then Luculia recalled about Axcel buying the favourite book that she wants . She asked if he has one Aristotle's Collection of books then Axcel glared at her .

" Umm ..Never mind.. I think you haven't finish it yet " Luculia.

"Do you want to borrow it ? " Axcel

"Will you do that ? "Luculia

"Only if you ask .." Axcel said this to Luculia then he smiled at her .

The smile makes Luculia's heart melt .
