First Time (at school!)

Before the alarm could make it's noise. I already woke up. I hates alarms especially when it's an alarm as loud as your mother's screams when angered.

I don't know if I hate mornings or I hate waking up in the morning. But its probably the latter.

I hate waking up in the morning, I'm more of an afternoon and night kind of person. Still I'm not the type who had large mood swings despite my hate for mornings, I always keep a cool mind everyday.

I know I'll hate mornings a lot more, since I'll be waking up early everyday now. But still I'm excited.

'Ughhh' I groaned kinda how a very tired person wakes up. I groggily got up straight towards the bath.

A few minutes of censors. Of course I won't explain to you how I bath, perverts! After half an hour of bathing, I was finally awake because of the cool water.

I dressed up. Typically how I dressed everyday. White shirt, blue jeans and boots. Don't think too much, boots aren't only made for women! and just so you know it's combat boots.

'knock' 'knock'

'Young master. The mistress and master calls you' a voice said from behind the door.

'Okay June. Be there in a minute' Checking myself out in front of my rooms mirror.

I need to make a good impression if I want to have friends. 'Good enough' I muttered.

Sighing before I grab the handle of the door and walked out.

'Good morning young master!' A maid beside the door slightly bowed and spoke.

'June how many times do I have to tell you not to be so formal to me' I said.

'I only obey what the mistress requested' The maid retorted.

I knew it was futile. June has been one of the longest maid who worked for us, she was nice and took care of me when I was young. She's old now about in her late 40s. But I respect her, she was like a second mother to me.

'Ughh. Okay fine' I can only compromise. June has always been a part of my life so I wanted her to be less formal to me, I guess that might take time.

I walked past June and headed straight to the dining area.

'Good morning father, mother' I politely greeted and sat parallel from my mother.

Sitting on the large dining table was my estranged parents, although they tried closing the gap, I know we will never be that ideal close happy family.

With my father in the center, beside my mother was my older sister and younger brother. Despite my odds against my parents I find myself comfortable with my siblings. They were always there for me.

'So it's your first day of school today huh' My father started to make conversation.

'uh yeah' I replied not paying attention aa I played with my food.

'So how are you feeling? since this is your first time in school' My father asked.

I animatedly replied, 'Great I guess'

My father immediately grew furious by my display of disrespect towards him.

He smashed the table with his palm. 'I've had it with you! I've been doing everything I can to make it up to you! I know I'm sorry, It was our mistake. Still you keep ignoring us over and over again! I've had it with you!' He got up and left the room with my mother in tow chasing him.

Before leaving my mother looked at me and said, 'You know we never meant to be like that honey. Your fathers doing his best'

Sigh. Too much family drama. I look towards my stunned siblings. 'Are you gonna eat or what?'

While continuing to eat my older sister spoke up, 'You know they're really sorry about what they did'

'I know' I said

'Then why did you do what you just did?' She irritatedly asked.

I stopped talking and kept silent. Eating small bites and drinking water.

'I'm full. I'll go now. Tell them I said goodbye' I said before going to the garage.

There were about 10 cars in our family garage, 4 were family cars, 2 were used if we ever need the drivers to drive us. I have a personal car, that was gifted to me a year ago.

It was a brand new Ford EcoSport car, perfect for any 16 year old to use, this was the car I asked for. I never liked showing off so I chose this particular car. But the fact you got a car was a point worth showing off.

I got my drivers license a few months ago using my fathers connection. It was quite easy, using only a few signatures and calls. My license was delivered after 2 days of paperwork.

Inserting car keys, I turned it and started the car. I opened my phone and remotely opened the garage door.

'Vroom' 'Vroom'

The sweet roar of a new car really sounded great. It sounds pleasant.

I closed my eyes and smiled, and drove as my new life in school began.

School was a bit far from my family residence. It was as far as 20 kilometers from my home to school.

I drove to the closest Starbucks drive through and ordered coffee to keep me awake.

After taking a short sip of the hot coffee. I drove towards my school. It was a smooth drive. There were only a few cars on the free way. To pass time I opened the radio.

'Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby...'

A song played, which I immediately changed stations. I like old songs, but the vibe that song gave, made me feel the chills.

Next. 'Baby I. Were dancing in the dark...'

Next! 'I knew I loved you then but you never know. Cause I playe...'

'What the fuck!' I was irritated. What's with these stations and love songs.

Okay the last two songs that were played, were songs that I liked. Its just, that wasn't the appropriate song if your single, especially if your driving alone.

I'm just irritated. Since I never had much contact with women, given that I am homeschooled I don't have classmates. But as I said that doesn't mean I don't have friends.

I just turned off the radio and just drove silently. I hate it driving alone, or I hate it when it's quiet. Sometimes I feel my ears ringing due to the silence, which makes me feel uncomfortable.

After half an hour of driving. I can already see the school building. Entering school campus I drove around to find a vacant lot and parked my car.

'Shit!' Sitting in my car. I remembered I forgot the most important thing. Its because I was so hasty.

'It's the first day. I don't think they'd actually need it' I thought.

It's a good thing I kept the schedule on my phone or else that might've been a problem.

I walked towards the entrance of the school. Entering the hallways I would walk on for the next 2 years.

Once inside. I approached the closest girl.

She had her back against me. I tapped in her shoulders from behind and asked, 'Hey I'm new here. Could you mind pointing me to the office?'

She turned around almost irritatedly but looked shocked for a moment then replied with, 'Why don't I show you?'

'Ok cool' I smiled and said.

She started walking and I followed her.

She initiated a conversation. 'So why are you here?'

'Other than to learn. I don't have much' I shrugged.

She looked at me and raised her right eyebrow. She understood the sarcasm in my words but didn't laugh.

'Oh okay' With that the conversation ended.

We approached a door with a metal plate 'Principal Office'.

'As you can see on the metal plate. You can just directly enter, the principal don't mind it at all' She spoke before leaving.

I knocked on the door a few times before slightly opening it.

'Uh. Hello?' The room seems to be empty. I casually walked in the room and noticed there were a lot of paperwork scattered on the large desk.

There were only 2 simple chairs facing each other in front of the large desk. There was a small sign that read 'Principal Theodore S. Vergara' which would probably be the principal.

'Who are you?' A voice spoke behind me. 'and what are you doing in my office?' asked the voice curiously but lets not be mysterious about it. He already said 'my office'

'Principal Vergara. Pleasure to meet you sir, I'm Marshall Tan' I smiled and politely greeted.

He laughed and said, 'Such politeness is hard to come by to you youngsters!'

'Well sir. I guess I'm one of a kind' I said with a raised eyebrow.

'Okay Mr. Tan what is your reason for intruding my office?' He asked.

I took out my phone and showed him the letter and my schedule.

His eyes grew wide. 'So you were that transfer student!' He regained his cool, 'So you're that transfer student' This time much calmer.

'Your fathers been much help to our high school, giving donations every now and then.' He smilingly said. 'Well Mr. Tan you can start school today. Wait for a moment I'll call someone to give you a guide.' He grabbed the phone on his desk and spoke.

'Ms. Wellton our new student Mr. Tan needs a guide. Why don't you call the student council president over to help him get familiar with the area' He ordered, so that's probably his secretary.

He hmm-ed for a few times before turning to me. I only stood at the same spot only fidgeting a few times. I nodded politely towards him.

'I'll wait outside' I said to him and left.

Surprisingly what awaited me outside was a girl. That was fast, I thought.

'You must be the prez?' I asked with a hint of doubt.

'Uh no.' She muttered softly.

'Oh okay sorry I thought you must be' I apologized and waited patiently next to the girl.

The girl who looked quite nervous was hesitant whether to knock on the door or not.

I almost laughed at her but asked, 'Are you gonna open that or what?' while chuckling.

'I'm new here so I'm kinda nervous.'

I was surprised. I thought that I was only who was late in enrolling this year. 'You must be a transfer or you enrolled late' I asked her.

I studied her for a moment. No eyes, no nose, no mouth, no anything.

Okay just kidding, Nobody in my eyes actually had a face so its not surprising. She's not slenderman or anything monstrous.

I continued to study her, below her head. Please don't be dirty minded, I have no choice other than to remember them by voice or by their body figure.

She was very sexy, like sexy sexy. Her waist looked soft and she's has a large melons. Like really really large. Okay just kidding but she's the type you'd call hot.

She has blond hair and. Damn I wish I could describe her face in detail. But she had her hair hide half her face. But you could tell she was beautiful by her hands, her skin looked smooth.

'Uhhmm could you please stop looking at me' She asked me while fidgeting a little. 'and no I'm not new. I enrolled late. So lucky me...' she said without much sarcasm. It didn't sound like a joke.

A hand tapped me from behind. I looked at the person, only to find her quite familiar.

'Oh so you were that transfer student!' She said excitedly.

'Uh yeah' She looked familiar and the thought hit me, she was probably the girl who pointed the direction awhile ago.

'Well that soon is probably now' I teased.

She laughed. 'I guess so' She grabbed my arm and led me.

'Give me your phone' I passed her my phone.

'No phones allowed on school hours. You'll get this later' She authoritatively spoke.

'What but?!' I said exasperated.

'Hey chill. I'm kidding with you' She laughed.

I smiled in relief but also embarrassed since I was fooled. 'I'll get you back' I muttered silently while keeping a foolish grin.

'Wipe that smirk off your face! Lets go now' She led me towards my room. Explaining those room we passed by and what they were used for.

At last we stopped in front of my soon to be room.

I thanked her and before she left, I asked her name. 'I still don't know your name'

'You can call me Eli' She said before leaving.

After a few seconds of prepping myself, and a few 'you can do this' while tapping my cheeks with my hands.

I knocked 2 times before entering the the room.

'Hello!' I smiled brightly as I peeked my head inside.
