 "Okay class, see you later, anyway, I have an announcement! Listen everyone!" We all looked at Mam Anji who's in front of us, "We have an incoming festival. We will have a collaboration to your section to the other section. I'll explain the further information by tomorrow, for now that's all, goodbye."

I was still lazy to stand up. These days was too fast to pass, I've been here at the Academy for a month now, but there's still no change, usual lessons are still being taught, the major subjects aren't there yet so it's amazing, when do they plan to start that? I'm getting bored.

I was stopped by a sudden commotion at the door. I mean suddenly the women gathered at the door.

"Oh my gosh!"

"What is he doing heree?!"

"Does he have a girlfriend here ?!"

"Who?! Oh, to the m to the g! We're the only ones who are beautiful here ah!"

The women screamed loudly. I don't really understand because they keep saying that, I just shrugged my shoulders and continued to write, I thought there was nothing like that here, the fan clubs of the 'handsome' boys in the academy are still trendy. Seriously?

After I wrote on my note, I arranged my belongings and zipped up my bag. We stood up and started walking.

"Hey! Why did you take so long before coming out?" I stopped when I heard a familiar voice.

"Oh. Kris, what are you doing here? I guess you’re not just passing by?" He smiled and approached me.

"Nothing. Is it bad to go with my new friend?" I smiled at what he said.

"Of course not. Come on!" I instantly dragged him to a café near the campus.

"So, you were the cause of the commotion earlier at the door, huh?" I joked with him when we sat down. He laughed and scratched his neck.

"Yeah. I don't know about them, I know I'm handsome, but do I really have to look like that? We're going to be rude here, you guessed?" I laughed and slapped him on the arm.

"You are really crazy, take it easy, your own wind might blow you over there, well I bet in no time."

"Aww." I was surprised when he suddenly moved away for a little, my blow didn't hurt, why did he get hurt? I lifted his tee shirt slightly and saw that he had a wound and a bruise.

"Oh. I'm sorry, I got hit, look." I stood up and sat next to him at the same time his dress was high on the arm.

I saw a bruise. It looks like it's still new. He still has a long and deep cut under it. I just touched that.

"Ma'am, Sir. Here's your order please. Enjoy!" The woman said, at the same time trying to look cute to Ios. I stopped looking at his wound, I would have turned my gaze back to his wound when he suddenly took off his tee shirt.

"L-let's eat Ish." I was stopped, but what I saw before he took off his clothes, his wounds and bruises, disappeared and healed suddenly. Who? Who could do that between us?

I shook my head to distract myself to what I have seen just right now. "Why would you call me Ish?" I asked, and took a slice of the Blue berry cake that we ordered.

"Nothing. I just thought, Letisha or Isha is to wordy to say every time I see you around, don't you think?" I shook my head and smiled.

"It's okay, I don't have a problem with you, calling me Ish or what so ever." I answered and started eating our order, I have a sweet tooth, a lot.

I looked outside for a moment, my forehead furrowed to notice that there was a man standing, even from a distance I knew he was tall, his eyes were captivating, though it has no emotions at all. He was just like a doll, Kris tapped me so I lost sight of the man for a while, I smiled at him and nodded, but when I looked back at the man, he was gone.

Weird.

After Kris and I talked, he accompanied me to the library to get a book that I could read and then he said he would take me to the east wing.

"Thank you for coming, and accompanying me. Be careful when you come home, I’ll see you tomorrow." I told him and pat his arm at the same time, but this time I avoided the one with the wound and bruise, he might get hurt again, he smiled and nodded.

"All right. Thanks too." When he disappeared from my sight, I also entered the dorm.

When I entered, I saw Jasmine standing and still wide awake while her eyebrows were raised and she was smiling.

"I guess your ‘new friend’ is going out with you more often?" She said to me and threw a pillow at me from her bed, which I immediately caught and threw back at her.

"Yep, he just accompanied me earlier since our class ended early than the usual, so we decided to just look around, how was your day?" I asked and started to take off my clothes, I changed my nightgown and sat on the side of the bed and faced her.

"Okay, uhm, usual day, though we're already doing a lot, next week we'll be sectioning, we'll go to our designated sections."

I nodded. "No one ever told me that."

"I forgot to tell you since we don't meet much today." She answered and went to bed, she put her head on the head board.

"How will the sectioning be done? And why next week? Shouldn't it be done before the school year starts?" I imitated her position, I took a book from my side table, I just started reading it last night, I was almost halfway there, in case I fell asleep.

She shook her head. "It's different here in LH, after a month the designation will be done, because you can't just enroll here, only a select few can enter."

"Is that so, can we be together?"

She shook her head. "That will be a bit impossible. You're a new student here, so maybe you'll end up in the lower section, or maybe higher, it depends."

I nodded because I understood what she was saying. We talked for a while before saying goodbye to each other to go to sleep, maybe she will do a lot more tomorrow, because usually, I'm the first to say goodbye. She looks very tired.

I got up and went to her bed, then slightly raised her blanket up to her neck, she was still cold, she always woke me up to fix and turn down the aircon.

                                                                      ----

"Okay, like what I told you last time we will be having a festival, so the headmaster allows everyone to participate, so let us start the pairing, anyway, your pairs are in the Rubric." They were shouting, I don't know what those shouts were for, did something like this happen to them just now?

I've also stopped writing, it looks like it's interesting what Mam Anji has to say about the upcoming festival, I have an idea somehow, since we also do something like that once a year.

But wait, if our pairs are in Rubric, it means I can pair with my Levi, because I know he's there, since the designation of the sections isn't in order yet, the different levels of students are together.

"Kyaaahhhhh!"

"Ohmyyyy! We can have them with us!"

"Are you serious ma'am? Maybe it's just a prank?!"

"Ghaaa! I can't wait! I can't wait."

"Okay, settle down, let's start, we don't have all day." Mam said, so the shouting was somehow reduced.

After they got hysterical, Mam continued what she was going to say, but I know that Rubric was probably last year now, I mean the sections will probably be dismantled and a new one will be made, only the upper section will probably not be changed, since it's been a few years they don't increase in numbers, that's Jas’s story to me.

"Okay. So here are your chosen partners. Andrada from here and Legaspi from Rubric."

"Lee, and Tyler from Rubric."

"It's a pity, they're not my partner."

"It's okay girl. That's handsome too."

"Yeah right! Just coming from Rubric!"

They all looked as if there was a name waiting. Is Rubric really popular here in LH?

"Leisy, and Zanty from Rubric."

"Yaay! I can't wait!"

"Who will be assigned to us from Rubric?"

"Chin, and Saze from Rubric."

"What?! I don't want to! Change it! You i***t in pairing up!" I stared at the scream. Michelle, by the way.

"No miss Chin. This is final. Now sit down if you don't want me to send you to the punishment room!" Mam shouted. But he just struggled.

"Whatever. Since you're old, and no one will like you anymore. Tsk."

"You're saying something Miss?"

"Why do you care?" She replied while still looking bad at our teacher.

"One last wrong answer, then you're dead, no joking." Michelle just stared at her.

"Okay. For the last partner. Manari, and Holman from Rubric. Okay, -"

"You're kidding! A Holman from the Rubric section? Are you going to pair this with this new student?! Looks like she doesn't know what she went into, what a stupid!" I looked at Michelle who was now standing up and looking at me madly.

"That's the point of all of this Miss. Anyway, settle down. Now go at the open field SILENTLY." She didn't do anything, she came out first while flouncing, we all got up and left the Room. I don't know why that woman is so reprehensible, is she really like that or is she just lacking in attention? Doesn't he have any friends? Since he hit me on my first day, I haven't seen him with me again, in his appearance, he's not the kind of person who doesn't have a companion, it's just surprising.

I just remember. Holman seemed familiar to me. Where did I hear that?

Holman

Holman

Holm-

"Yow! Ish! Penny for your thoughts? You'll fall there." I looked at the one who walked by me.

"Are they together?!"

"Oh my gosh! How come?!"

"It can't be!"

"Oh, Kris, Why?" I smiled in response to him.

"Nothing. I saw you here, don't you have a class?" I shook my head, he accompanied me on the walk to the open field because he was holding me.

"There, our professor sent us here. We're paired in Section Rubric. I don't know what to do, then Michelle got angry earlier, my classmate because of my partner, then there was a mentioned Punishment room by her, and I have no idea what was that for, if she doesn't stop, I actually can't get the point why she's angry, seriously? What's the matter? Why does it seem like a big deal to her? " I stopped when I saw him, smiling, looking so amused. "Why?"

"You seriously, pft, your mouth is like a gun, non -stop, your rant is serious isn't it?" He laughed and I just stared, that’s true, that’s what really happen, and besides, why is it a big deal to that Michelle what our professor said?. "Anyway, we were also released."

"What section are you in? Are you also doing the pairing thingy? Everyone seems to be allowed to participate." I asked her. He combed his brown hair first.

"Rubric."

My eyes widened and clung to his arm. We look like we're going to hug.

"So, you know who my partner is?" I smiled at the question

"What is a name or surname?"

I stopped and acknowledged what I had been told earlier. "Holman, that’s what ma’am said." I was surprised when he suddenly laughed out loud. To the point that almost everyone in the open field was staring at him.

"He’s really cute!"

"He's hot when laughing!"

He smiled and walked away.

"Hey! Kris! I'm talking to you! Do you know him?" I shouted. But he laughed even more.

I ran towards him.

"Hey! Who is that? And why are you laughing?" He looked at me and laughed softly.

I was surprised when he held out his hand.

"Good grace, you're kidding me, Ish, anyway, I'm Kris Holman. Nice to meet you partner."

                                                            THIRD PERSON

"So, what's your plan dear?" The man was just looking at the goblet held by the person he was talking to, still not knowing what his real plan was. They were looking out the window, both.

"Let's let them go first, as long as everything is under our control, there will be no problem." He smiled in response, so the man nodded and smiled in response, he had confidence in his plans, he knew it would be good, but it just wouldn't be easy.
