Hidden Hearts and Summer Skies (Silent Secrets of Summer #1)

Chapter 5

Monday came, it was our first day of new academic year, though we haven't received our official schedules yet, we are still obliged to go to the campus for our orientation, especially for us who are in senior year.

I woke up early for me not to be late on our orientation, I already prepared my enrollment slip, and other documents incase of checking.

I'm already wearing my chosen outfit that I prepared last night, and I decided to just braided my hair in one and put some accessories on it to give it some style.

After checking again my belongings, I got my car keys, decided to drive it to school since I knew how to, why not use it?

"Good morning po Ate Tina, pasabi nalang po kay Ate Cess aalis na po ako and sa labas nalang po ako kakain, pasabi na rin po kay Kuya Melvin daldalhin ko po yung kotse ko, thank you po," paalam ko Ate Tina nang makita ko siyang nasa sala at naglilinis. She just nodded at me and then I headed to our garage.

My parents gifted me a BMW M8 in silver since they knew how I love neutral colors.

"Well, hello there beautiful. It's just us today." I talked to my car that I named Kylie from my second name Kyle, while placing my bag to the passenger seat and patting its roof like I am just patting a kid on the head. After I settled in, I drove off to school. It was a good 20 minutes drive minus the traffic.

When I found an available space in the parking lot, I parked my car and got out then headed to the main building where our orientation will take place.

As much as everyone doesn't think I would be, I don't have any friends on our school, though my sexuality being gay is never a secret to the whole campus, it was not the reason why I don't have friends. People tend to be intimated at me, some of them see me as someone they couldn't compete with, as if I want to compete with anyone. They said I was smart, pretty, handsome, rich, and talented that a lot of people find me attractive in so many aspects, but some also find me annoying.

When I got to the main building where the theater is, I let myself in, not minding all the students who turned their heads to just get a glimpse, some students giggles seeing me, some started whispering, as if that could make me uncomfortable, I was used to it. Some students seems to be in disbelief seeing me here today.

"Hi everyone, Good morning, I hope you're having a blissful day. For today no, since wala pa naman tayong schedules, everyone can tour around campus after our orientation, basta pwede kayo maglibot ngayong araw. Also later before we end the meeting mamimigay kami ng plyers, listahan yun ng mga organization na pwede niyo salihan that we opened for this academic year." When the school President found me at the middle, while busy taking down notes he waved at me and smile that I responded with a smile too.

"Andito pala yung mga former org president natin, Haven can you stand up for a second, please? Thank you," when Mr. Araya mentioned my name, everyone turned their heads again to where I am. 'Not today please.'

"Everyone, meet Haven Kyle, our former Journalism President, if you guys want to join to our journalism you can ask him for advice, is it fine for you Haven? Any words for our newbies?" I just chuckle on that. I don't have friends here in campus but a lot of people still remember me as someone who contributed to some of school organizations and school activities here in our campus, I was active for the past years.

"Hi everyone, I'm Haven Kyle, I was the former President of the Journalism. If you want some advice or any tips, you can find me at the BSHM building. Thank you, and goodluck to everyone for this new school year." I smile at them that they responded with a loud applause.

After the said orientation, where they talked the do's and don'ts, school policy, grading system and some of the important activities that happens in every certain month. The school President called it a day, dismissing everyone to take their tour around campus, or some can just visit some of the buildings like the library, the computer lab so on and so forth.
