The Biology Cult

Chapter One

Have you ever wondered, what if there is something meant for you to do? Like, what if you were meant to bring world peace or you were meant to stop poverty around the world and other useful stuff... What I'm meant to do?... Ugh! I think nothing! If I was meant to do anything, it'd be the end of the world.

Oh, sorry, I was talking to myself again... and also, thinking out loud. Weird. Anyway, let me introduce myself. I am Youka Yondelle. If you must know, I am sixteen years old and am currently in college... Yes, it might be weird being in college at the age of 16 but, don't worry, my batch mates and I are the last ones to enter college at that age. For the people entering college, I suggest you should read on... well, if you want to anyway. I hate introductions myself so let's get on to the story.

It was the first day of school. My fellow freshmen and I joined the freshmen orientation. On my way to the gym, where the orientation will be held, I met my high school classmate and also BS Biology classmate, Lysander Kryptonite.

"Hey! Wait for me!" he shouted, running towards me.

"Wow... you've never been on time during high school. Congrats! You're early" I told him and he answered with a smile

"Just so you know I have been early... once" he started walking "C'mon. We can't be late for the orientation"

"I know"

We both rushed to the gym. There were lots of freshmen already gathered there. There were empty seats at the back so we sat there. We looked around to see people we know. We saw a few... That's a relief. I also saw the girl I made friends with during the enrollment last April. Then the orientation started. It was nice... lots of introduction and boredom... Then we looked for our classrooms and I tried to memorize everything. Except the introductions, of course. No way I'd let those stay in my brain. Lysander and I talked as we walked around.

After half a day of boredom, we had lunch and I walked to the school's dorm. That's where I stay. Its... good, I guess. Then I received a message.

Park

I smiled and jumped out of bed. I fixed myself and walked to the park. There, I saw an old classmate in high school sitting on a bench. I snuck up on him and poked him on the shoulder. He turned to me.

"Hey, what up?" He asked me

"Uh... Good... And boring. We just finished our orientation and we have the rest of the day off" I answered and sat beside him.

His name, you ask? This guy is Mean guy.... Kidding! His name is Aiden Watson. He was also a classmate of mine during high school. He's a great guy.

"So... uh... You enjoying your first college day yet?" He asked me

I shrugged and laughed "I guess so... I mean, it's peaceful... so far"

"So far?"

"Yeah. Like I'm expecting things to be a lot busier and stuff... You know, common college expectation for me"

After a few talks and snacks, we walked back to our own places. Then it would be time for dinner and then off to bed. The thing I fear is that my college life will be monotonous. Man, I bet it'll be like being forced to live a solitary life. Well, in my case there'll be dorm mates but what if I won't belong? Common fear... But I think I'll get over it anyway.

The next day was the first day of school. I headed to the biology classroom and found it almost empty. The only people there was Lysander and five people I don't know. I sat next to Lysander. Got to stick with your friends.

"Hey" he whispered to me "You should've been here a few minutes earlier. I saw the two guys there talking about some cult"

"A cult? Pfft! We're supposed to be studying science not magic" I chided "We're scientists, Sand, not occult people"

"Oh c'mon, Youka. You seriously think I would joke about stuff?"

" Yes"

"Okay. Probably, yeah but I'm not kidding this time"

"Oh yeah?" I turned my chair facing him "Tell me what their agenda was"

"Hmm... About a sort of a cult formed by freshmen within the biology class"

"Really? And who might those be?"

He raised an eyebrow then flashed an annoyed look "You still don't believe me, do you?"

I smiled and laughed "yep"

I turned my chair to its original position and giggled uncontrollably like a person with a weird mental disease. Cults! Ha! Why would scientists be interested in... The... Occult... Wait a minute! I am! I just didn't expect that there'd be a cult in the school. Wow. Talk about unexpected.

"Can you show me proof?" I asked Lysander

He turned to me, disbelief marked all over his face, and smiled. Then he mouthed "I'll try"

More students entered after our conversation. Everyone was looking at each other suspiciously as if we were suspects to a crime. I looked away whenever I would meet my eyes with one of them. Their behaviour is just plain creepy. I'm honestly reconsidering the cult idea. It seems quite plausible right now.

"Good morning, class" the teacher in front said

Everyone's head darted forward. Haha... If only you saw it. Seriously, it was funny. I almost laughed out loud. And I spotted Sheenan. She's a classmate in high school as well. Sheenan Willows. Just so you know.

When she noticed me, she waved and I just smiled.

"My name is Rose Marie Jackson" the teacher introduced "I will be your biology teacher this year"
