Azure: The Retired Assassin

Azure 3

The first day of class came fast. It's been two weeks already since I arrived in here. I chose to wear a gray v-neck shirt, fitted blue jeans and black low cut boots. After I blow dried hair I grab my black back pack and my keys. And hurriedly went down to the parking area.

Alam ko na din ang daan papuntang Stonewall University. I went there two days ago just to check all possible routes from my condo to school. That humongous gate in black and gold screams wealth. I think SU is a school for elites. And I don't know why dad chose this one for me. It has primary, secondary and tertiary education. Isa lang yung gate papasok pero magkakahiwalay ang tatlong campus sa loob. You could just imagine how big the whole place is.

I presented my enrollment slip and my driver's license at the guards manning the gate since I still don't have my ID yet. "New student?" One of the guards ask me politely.

"Yes sir." He give me that shy smile when I called him sir.

"Parking lot number 2 for high school students. Just head straight ma'am." Sabi nya sa akin pagkabalik nya  ng mga papers ko.

I speed my way to the parking lot after saying thank you. Kahit parking area sobrang laki din. I grab my bag and then lock my car. I can feel their observant stares as I walked but I just ignore them. I'm a new student at mukha pang foreigner so I already anticipate something like this to happen.

Now where would I find Ms. Flores my adviser. The letter said I need to go to her before the class starts. And I can't seem to find someone who doesn't give me that curious look. Ayukong magtanong sa mga kagaya nila. I walked with ease and my eyes fixed straight in front. Until I find this girl na parang walang pakialam sa kung anuman ang nangyayari sa palagid nya.

"Hey!" I said to get her attention and I succeeded. She raised her head and we've come face to face.

"Savior!" She yelled and hug me tight. I was stunned for the next few seconds. Who would call a killer like me a savior let alone hug me tight out of gratitude. She let go from the hug and face me. "Can't you remember me? I'm the girl you helped at the parking lot two weeks ago. Oh my gosh! Thank you so much, I owe you my life you know."She was teary-eyed after saying it.

"Oh, welcome besides someone came to help me. You owe nothing to me. So can I ask you something? It's the reason why I called you." I don't want her to think that I am good at fighting or anything like that.

"Sure!" She answered excitedly with a wide smile plastered on her cute face.

"Do you know where I can find Ms. Flores?"

Her eyes widen in surprise, "Gosh, is she your adviser?" I nodded. "We're classmates, come I'll go with you." She tugged my wrist and practically drag me to where our adviser is. I did not complain anymore, she looks friendly so maybe she can be my first friend here. "By the way I'm Savannah...Savannah Mercado. And you are?" Nilingon nya ako at ngumiti.

"Azure Adams. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too." Then we resumed walking. We stop on the 2nd floor of the faculty building. The door is already open kaya pumasok na kami at hila-hila pa din nya ako.
