"C'mon Becca where are you?" Xylia said.

She has been waiting for Rebecca for the past half an hour.

"If you're not here for another 5 minutes I'm going," Xylia sighed.

5 minutes of waiting and Rebecca is still not there. Xylia shrugged and started to walk to school.

"Xylia! Wait up!"

Xylia rolled her eyes and turned around. Rebecca was running after her with Celestine at the back.

"You're late," Xylia said, raising an eyebrow.

"I know, I know. It Celest fault for not waking up and I thought of the both of us going school together with Celest, but then y'know, when it comes to waking Celest up, it's gonna take an hour," Rebecca said, smacking the back of Celestine's head.

"Ow," Celestine said.

"Okay c'mon let's go, we're gonna be late later on, especially Xylia's first day in our school," Rebecca said.

...

The walk to school is so dreadful. They have to turn left around the neighbourhood, then turn right to the park and make another turn to a mall. It's like a maze. After another 10 minutes of walking, they have finally reached the school. Xylia looked at the school in amazement. It's bigger than her previous school. Rebecca linked her arm with Celestine and Xylia. They happily walked in the school. When Celestine opened the door, everyone who is at their locker turned and look at them, especially Xylia.

"What ya looking at?" Rebecca snickered.

Everyone stop staring and go back to whatever they're doing. Celestine smirked and the three of them walked to the principal's office.

"So...you guys are like the bad kid here huh?" Xylia asked.

"Neh we're rebels," Celestine said.

"Isn't that the same?" Rebecca asked.

Celestine paused for awhile.

"Neh whatever," she scoffed.

Xylia entered the office while the other
two waited for her outside.

"Wait Xy," Celestine said.

Xylia turned around.

"Just don't laugh at his name," Celestine remarked, giggling at the end.

Rebecca started to laugh as Xylia was confused. Xylia shrugged her shoulders as she walked in the office. There's a guy in his 40s sitting behind his desk, paperworks scattered across the desk.
Xylia cleared her throat as she waited for him to realise her appearance. He shot his head up and furrowed his brows together.

"Oh you must be Xylia Hood, the new girl," he said while cleaning up his desk.

"Yes...Mr...Buttwheel?" Xylia said, more likely asking herself.

"Please take a sit Miss. Hood," he flashed her a smile.

"So this is what Celestine and Rebecca were talking about...Buttwheel..." Xylia thought.

"And thank you for not laughing at my last name though," he smiled.

"Um..yeah," Xylia nodded.

"Okay...soo here's your schedule. All classes have their own digit numbers so you can easily find those classes with the digit number written on the paper," he said.

"Okay...thanks?" Xylia said looking at the paper.

"Okay sooo once you're ready you can leave the office and proceed to your class," he smiled cheekily.

Xylia rolled her eyes and walked out of the office, not forgetting to slam the door close. Celestine and Rebecca looled at her with wide eyes.

"It's only the first day of school and I ALREADY hate the principal. Furthermore, Buttwheel! What the actual heck!" Xylia snickered.

"Woah calm down he is right beside us," Celestine said, pointing her finger at the office.

"Well I don't give an actual fuck, BUTTWHEEL!" Xylia shouted.

She's too pissed at the principal's attitude so she stomp off. Celestine and Rebecca chased after her.

"So what's your first period?" Rebecca asked.

"Math...god," Xylia groaned.

"Ooo same class as me soo its okay," Celestine said.

Since Xylia's locker is near to Celestine and Rebecca's lockers, they walked at the same direction. Xylia opened her locker and put her unnecessary stuffs in there. While she's doing so, she sensed someone is staring at her.
