Hell & Heaven: Overlapping Deaths

Chapter 1

"Are you going to enroll in the Walkerz Academy?" my mother asked me and she smiled at me. I know that finances are tight because our family business isn't going well.

"Yes, I want to study there!" but even so, that school guarantee you a good life after. I'm sure that they've save some money for me.

"Alright, but on one condition..." My mother held my hand, "You have to graduate at the top of your class."

"Thank you, mother!" And I hugged her tight.

We had a pleasant dinner that night.

I froze on the spot as I looked up on the grandiose building of the academy. This is nothing compared to my old school.

The Walkerz Academy. This is a prestigious academy that only the elite of the elite was able to enter. I am Alyanna Cortez, and I was only able to apply here because of the discount I've gotten from the entrance exam. And to go after my childhood crush… Shawn.

Maybe I can start off a new life here…

"Ouch!" I exclaimed and slump on the floor before looking up at the man. But instead of saying sorry, he smirked at me and walked away.

"Hey!" I called him and gritted my teeth, he stopped and looked back. "Aren't you even going to apologize?"

"Oh," a smile flashed on his face and even his underlings looks at me, "A mere bug like you dare to ask for an apology?" he asked and his underlings started laughing. Now, there are even more students looking at us.

I can't get in any more trouble or else I'll lose my scholarship.It’s even the first day of school. Damn it.

"You---" when an entrance of that pink flock of hair with aqua blue at the end entered.

"The opening ceremony is going to start now, what are you still doing here?" I was stunned and that girl with a four eyed dude from her back and a girl with notes. They look totally straight from the book.

The entrance ceremony is very solemn. The stadium is like what you've seen from those movies and...

"Welcome to our freshman students..." it was a man with a long whitebeard and he addressed us.

"Please welcome the top student in the entrance exam... Mr. Shawn Crowntier!" he looks stunning. That's where he is standing. With his dark hair and eyes, he makes my heart beat faster than normal.

As expected of my crush...

"Dear fellow students," he smiled and all of the students attention are in him. "Let's all do our best."

"Kyaaah! Shawn-sama!"

"Tch," while others boys had that expression on their faces.

It's like going back in time when I first heard him say his speech in the conference. He is like a furnish of hope in my heart.

The facilities of this school is high class.

"Hi, my name is Alyanna Cortez, nice to meet you all!" I bowed my head with my classmates. This is our way to get to each other.

"Wow, you are the student that got second place in the exam right?" Miya asked me. She has this long curly platinum hair that fitted her curvy body.

"Ahh-uh---" I was stunned by how beautiful she is.

"Then you must've been a very good student, getting full marks!" she smiled, "If you aren't competing with Shiro-sama, you would've been ranked 1! Too bad he got more than perfect score." I stopped by what she said.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well, ever since elementary school, he always had beyond the perfect score points," she smiled with all her eyes twinkling, "that's why everyone call him the genius Shiro!"

“Oh, I’m up against someone like that?” I asked her and she smirked at me.

“Yes, so from now on, you will be called the genius cinderella!”

“Wait, what?” I asked her. But before I could refute she already pull me to the cafeteria.

If I tell you that the cafeteria here looks like what you will see from the five star hotels, would you believe me? Because that’s what I see!

They had steaks! And desserts are so yummy. From strawberry shortcake, crepe, macarons, and many others that would surely invite your taste buds to have a taste!

“So, this is the cafeteria…”

“Ah, this is just the first floor,” she winks at me. When we reached the second floor…

“This is the place that only the upper elite one can access,” she tapped her ID card and smirked, “You’re lucky to have found me”

And so she had explained that the students here have ranking from Elite 1 to 4, where Elite 1 are considered the richest of all and where the sons and daughters of the prime ministers, billionaires…

Then that means, Shawn is here too!

And just when I was to think of him… I saw him with a lot of girls, even from elite 1 are looking to him. His brown eyes and soft curly hair makes him the center of attention.

Maybe I could find my happiness here. I could look at him from the distance and admire him.

But he is beside the… rude man earlier!

“Oh, don’t tell me that you are actually a fan of the Walker4?” she asked me with a disbelief expression.

“Why?” I asked her. I had a hunch from her tone that they are not definitely a good group.

“Who would like them? They brag about the wealth of their parents, but good for nothing jerks!” she told me and stomped her feet.

“Hey, what did you say about the Walker 4?!” another woman popped out and was ready to attack her for doing that.

“What if I am?” Miya asked so confident. “Don’t you know who I am?” she asked. Come to think of it, she’s an Elite 1 right?

“We don’t care if you’re Miya Stanford, the owner of the school!” they said in harmony. They looked really troublesome, the three of them.

Miya smirked at them and grab a glass of water.

“Get the hell out of my face or I’ll do much worse than that.”

“You!”

But in the end they couldn’t lay a hand on her. I froze on the spot when I heard that their family actually owned this school?! Where the tuition fee is beyond your imagination?

“What is the meaning of this?!”

I had fun on my first day of school. I met a lot of good friends. And I was able to have a lot of fun…

"Mom, Dad, I'm home!" I called out eagerly as I stepped through the front door, my heart filled with anticipation. I've completely completed my first week in high school, and I couldn't wait to share the details of my experiences with my parents. However, as I entered the house, there was an eerie silence that greeted me. The usual warmth and familiarity seemed absent, replaced by an unsettling stillness.

"Hello?" I called out again, hoping for a response. Panic began to set in as I groped for the nearest light switch, my mind racing with possibilities.

With trembling hands, I managed to locate and flip the switch, and opened the lights.

"Kyaaaah!" I let out an agonized scream, unable to comprehend the gruesome scene before me. There, on the floor, lay my beloved mother and father, their bodies motionless and covered in a pool of their own blood.
