I am Aria Pierce. Short girl, blonde hair, hazel eyes. I'm an art student at SG. I am skeptical about meeting new people which makes me seem shy but I'm not. I just dislike changes. Especially when I meet New people.

So currently, I was roaming the halls with my sketch book in my hand. Being a prodigious Pierce had its benefits. I'm in a gifted school that helps us advance a step further in our talents. All 4 of us are in this school. How? Ask our parents, we got our DNA from them. But despite so, it really isn't the best. I am in this school based on my arts. But I am in a special Programme, but that requires me to complete normal studies early, sigh~ the life of a talent is not so good. Thus in this Programme you need to be gifted and smart. If not it's pointless.

I am still deciding my future. I have so many roads to choose and I don't know which one would it be. Aish I do not need to decide for another 2 year might as well wait and continue whatever I'm doing. And that's the reason why I'm roaming the halls. Because in that Programme, we don't attend normal classes. My timetable is spread out 5 days, each day I have 3 different courses and that's all. Some is shared with other; some are solely for those in the Programme. Each term my courses change since I have more time. I can required to attend all courses while others only attends one that they truly love and are talented in.

I was bored to death as I decided I should just go to the music room. Nobody is in it at this time of the day. As I walked, humming a melody, I bumped into a jock. I looked up and shouted, "excuse me WATCH where you are going!" the words blurted out before I could catch myself. He had his hand outstretched and I pushed it away and got up myself. Letting out a squeak, "I'm sorry," I scurried away.

I didn't know what came over me at that point in time. I'm those shy type when socialising. I went to the music room and found it open. I walked in but saw nobody. I walked to the piano and let my fingers slide over the white and block tiles. I set my hand down and then my fingers took over. I played the melody I was humming before, River Flows In You by Yimura.

However I STOPPED. I heard someone outside. I have very sensitive ears if you haven't realised. The shadow could be seen at the edge of the door. I walked out but it was gone. I don't know where that person went but for sure he or she doesn't want me to know who he or she is. I closed the piano cover and decided to go for my second class of the day. Being the visual arts module, I made my way to the computer lab. Weird huh? That's only because I am doing animated art today. I took out my own laptop. It's a computer lab but you have to bring your own laptop as the computer only gives resources and research. Everything else has to be saved in your own laptop.

As I peered out of the classroom, hoping to catch the glimpse of my teacher or classmates, I saw the jock again. What the hell is he doing in the art building. At this time he should be in the main school building, attending classes like most teenagers here. And I'm sure that he is not gifted as Noah was the only one. I have another one but she knows what she wants to do. She hopes to pursue a music career so all her time to put on it.

Anyways, I ignored the fact that he just passed by the classroom and start editing the characters I created last week. Though I think you are a bit lost as to how things work at Specially Gifted. That's legit the name of the school. For a normal student, from morning to noon, they had normal lessons. From noon all the way to 6 pm they go into their separate gifted courses. If you are into Soccer, the TOP half is as per normal but the second half you may be scheduled for gym or conditioning, team practice. Depending on the schedule. For gifted, throughout the whole day, we only have 3 classes for each day. Each being 2 hours Long once a week. In an art Programme, we go by modules. It's a 3 year Programme. They split the year into 4 parts, visual art, dance and drama is together, music and management. We all know what the first three module is. It's management people get confuse. In management, we learn how to manage our time and the different art categories. For dance it's how to manage a showcase, art may be a museum. Being surrounded by art is the one thing I love so you can tell I love this school but it's a little lonely sometimes.

Anyways this was my last course of the day as I saw Milan walked in. Finally someone to talk to. She seats opposite of me and we are the only ones in this course. Mr Simpsons walked in and started explaining the different functions to help us improve our character.

(Not mine, got it from the internet to inform u guys)

I drew a girl in cheongsam. Then I blanked the girl out and drew the background in. Doing what I love, time passed by fast and it's the end of the day. For me at least. I walked towards my Brother Nolan Pierce. "Yo geek." I greeted. I was always closer to Nolan since we were together when we moved away, separated from Kiera and Noah. However the nicknames remains.

"Wassup artist. Hey jock and nerd." Nolan greeted as they saw them approach. "Lucky people who don't need to do anything after school. It's ok, I have nerd with me." Noah said. "Oh no, not anymore. I requested for a schedule that doesn't have anything after school except for events I'm Organising. And oh so coincidentally events are never in school. You are alone." Keira joked. She may be the nerd but she is one social butterfly. Noah huffed and called for Wyatt Schwartz. Weird I've never heard of him before.

A guy walked over and we connected our gaze. It's the guy from before. I hid behind Nolan and grabbed onto his shirt. "Hey it's you. The girl in the hallway before." I ignored him and he awkwardly scratched his neck. "That's my Sister Aria, this is Keira and that's Nolan. He shall keep me accompany unlike you traitors." I could not contain and let my snarky remark escape, "oh like how u betrayed us and said our secrets out loud. Plus u chose this not us." The others burst out laughing as Noah turned red. Not with anger but embarrassment. So there may be an incident when he said our secrets out loud and we said his worst secret that caused the whole school talking about it for days.

"Hey," Wyatt shouted to me. I ignored him And continued my way. On the way home, he continuously tapped on my shoulder in which I ignored him. I put on my headphone and listened to the music I wrote. "Do I know you from before? Have we met Long ago?" I STOPPED in my tracks before muttering a "no" and walked away leaving Wyatt there.
