The day that every student and school staff is decorating the auditorium. It was an ordinary school day for Aquarius. She rode her bike to school because her aunt is busy with work and left early.

As she rode her bike, she can sense the morning breeze, smelling the fragrance of newly blossomed flowers in the nearby field, the sound of joyful birds chirping, hearing the calm ocean waves, and seeing all this makes her happy. She remembers the good memories she had despite the fact of being bullied by some of her classmates. Aquarius' day has not been more positive than usual. She finally arrived at the academy. 

She parked her bike at a vacant spot and locked it with a light chain she carried at the part of the school's fence near the building, securing that it will not be away from her. Walking to the building, she stopped by to see the enormous water fountain one last time in front of the school building was built mostly of marble.

As she continues to go to the building, climbing up the stairs and opening the school doors. Everything was silent. The only sound she could hear is her footsteps. An Empty hallway for a regular day seems to be bizarre for her. No girls are gossiping early in the morning before school. No boys are flexing their sharp or glossy katanas nor doing dumb things either. Aquarius unlocked on locker to put her belongings. 

"I guess everyone is in the auditorium." She spoke to herself, clutching her hands to her skirt.

Aquarius feels so nervous and uneasy that her palms are sweating, walking in a silent hallway.She was getting close to the room, the more she is relieved. The noise echoed from the room was getting louder and louder as Aquarius is getting near. She opened the door slowly, with the sound of the doors' creaking.

Soon as she entered, everyone who was busy and jabbering looked at her for a second. Aquarius waves her hand, smiling awkwardly, and the students did not mind proceed to what they were doing.

Then, Aquarius starts to look for Glaciar and her boyfriend, Christian. Right before the corner of her eye, she saw one of them hanging banners. She was about to run to them, but one of her schoolmates who was running at a fast pace and carrying a stack of paper accidentally hit her, pushing them both down, scattering it around them. Aquarius and the boy quickly got up, helping each other to pick up.

"I'm so sorry for the mess." He apologized nervously. "Ugh, I'm such a klutz!" He said with a troubled voice.

"It's alright, that's natural for a person to be like that, don't worry." Aquarius reassuring him with a smile, helping pick up papers he dropped. When she looked at one of them, it was apology letters.

As her curiosity arose she starts to read it. Her schoolmate quickly snatches the letter from her. Aquarius did not even have the time to read a single word. She was shocked, as she was about to say something, the boy took the heap, ran out of the room in a panic.

"I guess he was in a hurry." She whispered to herself, she got up and tidy up a bit.

When she walks to her classmates. She immediately approaches Glaciar who has white long hair, fair skin and has light blue eyes.

Aquarius touched her shoulder and finally found a sense of relief in her chest.

"Umm Glaciar, I'm here now." Aquarius called out to her. She panted a little, indicating a sign of comfort.

"Aquarius, you're just in time!" Glaciar smiled, carrying a box of different colors of streamers.

"So, I want I can do to help you guys. I'll do anything, anything you want." Aquarius asked enthusiastically, putting her hand on her chest and motivated.
