5 Chapter Five - First Day Matters (2)

At The Hallway

In Skye Evander High School

I was so tensed and nervous. I never planned to get myself entangled in such an embarrassing drama. I just wished the ground will open up and gulp me down.

"Hey! Are you that dumb that you can't even see such a gorgeous sultana?" A cute brunette with chocolaty-brown eyes barked at me. Was she humiliating me in front of other students? This wasn't what I planned.

An eerie giggle followed after that. "Yeah Alyse. Seems like her eyes have gone sour that her mummified senses couldn't notice such rare pulchritude strolling in this hallway?" A teenage girl with some orange-reddish hair and tungsten-grey eyes popped out from God knows where.

"Or was she blinded by such radiating beauty emitting from this rare pulchritude?" She taunted again and they all laughed hysterically. I wondered what was funny about her statement but she seemed to be the most intelligent or hot brain bitch she is. You can't just judge someone's academic levels by the big grammars or vocabularies he or she spews.

I withheld myself from giving those girls a punch. I just clenched my fists in anger as they continued to pour out hurtful words. As they were about to walk away, Alyse nudged me hardly that I fell to the ground again. Just then, my mother's advice continued to linger round my brain.

'Just stay calm in any situation and remember to smile always. Do not act up or create impressions to make other people fall for you, always be yourself and do your best. First Day Matters! Always remember that, okay?'

I just felt like crying just there but not in the midst of other people. As I was convincing myself, I felt a divine hand grabbing me up to my feet. I could feel someone's body pressing behind me. As soon as I recovered to my normal self, I turned around to...

Standing right there was a divine male god in front of me. I stood there speechless, it was as if my tongue was tied and I could not talk right now. My heart raced so quickly and I was damn nervous. Who could this amazing and heavenly dude be? Why am I feeling so awkward just at his mere stare at me? But the dude was hot, masculinely beautiful and no amount of flattering words could describe him. Eew! I could see girls drooling just at the sight of him, the eyes of some girls were glistening with love and lust and obsession all for him.

'This guy isn't ordinary...or...' I was cut off my thought just hearing a womanly voice yet so loud and stringent. Her voice blasted thru the megasized speakers, methinks that she wants the students to gather at the assemblage hall for my proper introduction. God alone knows where this damn hall could be so I followed the crowd to the Assemblage Hall, cutting myself from this male god.

Reaching there, it was all a large hall, very large precisely. I could see projectors and electronic gadgets here and there and... robots all in good order. There in front was a high podium with wooden stairs by the side. I was just being overwhelmed 'cause back then in Hamill Dayle High School, there weren't much buildings and gadgets as these. Meanwhile, Neruize happens to be the smallest and undeveloped out of all the states that could make up Ohreja as a country.

Separating myself from the crowd, I could see a boisterous and podgy woman who seems to be in her late forties. She was mounted on the podium like a high ranking personality or whatever. I quickly hurried to where she was so that I could introduce myself officially. And from my random hearings, I could understand that the woman was Principal Natalie. Some said she was huge and shapeless, some said she was so strict, some said this and that but I pushed all those hearsays behind me. I need to do my introduction and get to know my class and anything can come in next like making new friends and forming a reading group, join a music club and a dance group or any entertainment group at all. I didn't even know when a smile crept to my lips just by thinking how I've planned my high school life.

"Skye Evander High School, the citadel of higher learning, bastion of complex intelligence and motivations of great people. Here in our midst..." Principal Natalie said as she was interrupted by a message that came across via the vice principal. "Here in our midst is a new scholar who is willing and eager to learn more in Skye Evander High School." She completed her statement and I hurriedly climbed up to the podium.

"Good day, the school management, staff teachers and non-staff members, and students." I greeted with a fake smile curling up on my lips. "I am Jemima Stephenson by name, fifteen years of age, a proud libran according to fate and a loyal denizen of South Eridan. I am here to present a short speech to you all."

I straightforwardly gave my speech and they all clapped tremendously. I never knew that I would do well in my speech presentation. At least, I thank my BFFs for opening a new world for me and taught me amazing things and that includes perfection of speech presentation.
