Different Dimensions

Chapter 3 - First Step

On our first official day here on Earth, Hart gave us a card, the house key and told us to go out and buy clothes before he left for work. So for the past 3 days, that's what Gilroy and I did. We roamed around the town, trying to familiarize ourselves with the surroundings and all that. We spent our time in the nearby bookstore and read random books about the unfamiliar things around us and such things. If we're going to blend in, we need to know the simple things so people won't think we're an alien or something right? We went to this cool place where everything you could buy is located and where we saw people hanging out and there, we bought clothes just like what Hart told us to do. I found cute dresses, some shirts and jeans that I've never tried out before. Both Gilroy and I shopped until it was already too many. It was fun actually; I never get to pick out my clothes in our world since the assistants of mother were the ones to pick it out for me. When we got home on the third day of our stay, we decided to find a place to hide the Briellin. We dug in Hart's backyard by the tree and buried it deep down so that no one will know about it.

Today is our fourth day of our stay and Hart stayed for the day. We watched movies for the whole day in the living room. We watched a scary movie, a sweet romantic one, a comedy and some adrenaline rush kind of movie. I wish we had a television back in Sonetianum.

"Guys, I have a surprise for you two." Hart said with a smile, breaking the awkward silence while we're having our dinner which is pizza, my new favorite food.

"What is it?" Gilroy asked.

"I just enrolled you two yesterday at Mills High school." He grinned and we stared at him. School? I gulped in horror as I thought about it and my insides started to panic.

"School?" Gilroy asked, wide eyed.

"Yeah. I figured that you two stopped going, so I thought. Why not?" He told us and Both Gilroy and I looked at each other in panic. We don't even know what school is like in this world and what they learn in here.

"It's going to be fine kids." Hart chuckled and we both looked back at him. "I know you two are probably freaking out because I know the feeling when you two walk in and everyone starts to wonder who the new kids are."

"Uhm...What are we gonna learn there?" Gilroy asked him again and Hart raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Well, since you're older, Gilroy. You'll be a Senior and Coralline will be a junior." He replied and we both looked at him in confusion.

"Junior? Is that some kind of level or something?" I asked him and he laughed at me.

"Yeah. You do know that since you studied before two right?" He shook his head and chuckled as I forced a smile.

"Uh.. Yeah. Right." I agreed even though I have no clue of what he's talking about. And I'm sure that Gilroy feels the same way. I took a sip on my drink and glanced at Gilroy as he glanced back at me.

"You know sometimes. I find the two of you strange." Hart said and we both looked at him quickly in alarm.

"What do you mean?" I asked and he shook his head.

"Hey. Don't be offended okay? But really, sometimes I think you two lack of exposure from the outside world or something. You two seem to not know some simple things. Like from a different world or something." He told us and chuckled as we just stared at him blankly. "I know. You two probably think I'm crazy."

"We don't think of you like that." Gilroy said. "It's okay if that's what you think. We rarely got an exposure since we were kids."

"Well, that explains it." He replied and took a bite on his pizza.
