"And that concludes your entry to our school, you're a senior, correct?"

I nodded, he turned around and reached for some file and looked over at it then up at me.

"Your name's Nalia?" I nodded again, to which he sighed and mumbled something under his breath.

He stood up and walked towards the door, gesturing me to follow him. We walked through the halls as he explained how the classes work. All of it was interesting to say the least, children with lower grades and higher grades all attend different classes, same subjects.

"So you are in class g4. Which is right here." He said pausing in front in front of door labelled 'G4'. I nodded once again as he opened the door. Well this is going to be long.

The class was full of people, nearly every seat had someone next to it except 4 at the back. Seeing the teacher they all rushed back to their  seats, 2 still being free. "Well have a seat then." Gesturing to the back. I nod and sit down putting my stuff down, surprisingly barely any of them looked back.

Instead I look around the classroom, it was scarcely decorated but still refined in nearly all ways. Other than that it was filled with all types, they were so messy yet so perfect all at the same time. However there was one guy, he could possible be the definition of perfect, one of the ones who did turn around, and god I'm glad he did.

He was nothing short of heavenly, divine even. We locked eyes, he had a green storm, unreadable but so intense all mixed into his eyes and his hair cascading around his eyes, before I could finish studying him he turned around and I realised the professor was talking, whoops.

He kept talking until he was interrupted by a knock on the door, to which he sighed as if he knew what was going to happen. Well this should be interesting to say the least.

The door opened and in came a blonde facing him, she was around fair height and from what I could tell, which was basically nothing, she seemed like she did this a lot. "Go to your seat Miss James, I dont have time for your excuses today." She laughed at that and turned around.

I froze, there was no way she couldve been here. But god I would remember that smile anywhere, it was her. She sat down yet it was like she was still walking to her seat, laughing at what someone said.

The class drags on for what seems like an eternity. I try to keep my eyes from glancing over at her, but it shows be near impossible. Over and over again, my eyes betray me, straying over to her, taking her in.

Her hair is still blonde, her smile still bright, her laugh still harmonious. her hair cascades down her back, lying in loose waves until it cuts off in the middle of her back.

As soon as the lesson reaches its end, I'm rushing as fast as I can away, trying to remember where the man from earlier showed me the toilets were. Once I've paced the halls twice, I finally find them. I let out the breath I didn't know I was keeping in and walk as fast as I can into the toilets.

I glance around, checking if anyone else is in here. when I see that it's only me, I open a stall and lock myself in, sitting down on the lid of the toilet seat.

I stayed in the toilet until the next period finished and walked out to a stampede outside, everyone walking quickly with a rhythm, strings of a violin tuning after each other.

I admired them all for a minute before returning back to the toilet to head back to my phone.

I sat there until lunch where I walked out, already missing the comfort the toilet had slightly brought me, silence. There was people screeching, swarming crowds and no directions to be seen. I had already forgotten where my class was and now I needed to get to the lunch hall.

I tried to walk left but it was blocked, so was the right, the back of me led back to the toilet, which was really tempting, and that left the front. I took in a comforting breathe before motivating myself silently and spread out on my journey for the conquest of lunch.

I try to walk around the crowds, weaving just enough to not get caught in them yet somehow it works against me and I'm in the middle of the biggest crowd I have possibly seen today. I cant seem to shake the feeling that someone or something is watching me, dawning just above me like a hawk diving for its prey. I turn back just to see clusters of groups of people all on their phone or getting it out. I take out my phone as well for inclusivity, as if I could see what they are, but somehow I got it too?

I check the notification from the unknown number,

" Nico Kanma - 20, arrested for a 1st degree crime.

He was found.."

My hands shaking, jaw dropped. I couldn't focus with the shouting, my head acting as if it was a drum, beating on all sides, apart from that physically I could not read anymore, with haste I turned around and rushed back to the toilet seat for some peace of mind.

He couldnt have gotten arrested. He'd stopped.
