Former Crushes

|Prologue|

"Fate really does hates me... Why? Who knows."

|Katherine P.O.V|

"KATHERINE!" I heared my name being called by someone familiar. I looked behind me, Shiori running towards me and I quickly stepped aside so she won't bump into me.

She immediately halts and faced me with a wide grin on her face. "I HAVE NEWS!"

I rolled my eyes, with that loud voice, my eardrums are going to burst.

"Of course you do. Make it quick, I'm going to be late for my next appointment." I glanced at my watch, it was 3:30 pm and I have an appointment with the head mistress by 3:40 pm.

"Well..." She starts off. "Somewhere in the campus, there are new transferees." Then she stops. I blinked at this and sighed.

"That's all?" I asked her, crossing my arms over my chest. It was just the gossip going around then.

She nods. "Yes, but-"

"But I don't care." I cut her off as I dusted my leather jacket and fix the things that I was holding. "I'll catch up to you later, I'm in a big hurry. Sorry."

"But, Kath-"

"I'm busy, can I just listen to that later?" I still cut her again. "Head mistress wants to see me."

Shiori's mouth formed into an 'o' and after a moment she sighs. "Alright, see you later at the spot by 5 pm. But you'll regret why you didn't listen to what I'm saying. I'll be waiting for you to say the words, 'I regret'. "

"Maybe later, I will regret, but I don't care." I snickered at her. "I'll even bow down to you if I regret."

"Really?"

"Hell, no." I teased. "But, I'll expect for the worst and thanks for the warning anyway."

Then both of us parted ways and I went to the head mistress' office. I knocked on the door and I could hear some faint voices inside. I shrugged.

"Good afternoon Head mistress. It's me, Katherine." I introduced myself, making my voice loud so she could hear it. "You told me to meet up with you. May I come in?"

After a momentary pause,"Oh! Yes, good afternoon dear come inside!"

I heard her aproval and I walked in slowly and quietly. I could see three tall figures in front of the head mistress and they seemed to be men. These were probably the transferees like what Shiori said. However they didn't face me, I only saw their backs and judging from their clothing, the branded clothes that they wore, they might be rich.

'Another batch of high class people?' I thought to myself, sarcastically. 'Isn't that wonderful.'

I tilted my head and saw the head mistress, I gave her a weak smile. She was a kind lady who was in her forties and I'm very close to her and her eldest daughter. I also babysitted or rather train her youngest daughter a couple of times when she was busy.

"So, head mistress, why did you call me here for?" I gave her a polite questioning look.

The head mistress stood up and as she approaches me, she smiled sweetly. "Katherine, since you were once from Acleo University before, I would like you to meet, our new transfer students. They might need some help and you are one of the star students in the Academy." She explains. "I want you to help them since they are still new."

I blinked. Acleo? As in the famous Acleo University? I wanted to gag at the moment, I didn't want anymore to remember that University.

Acleo University is one of the most prestigious school for the rich. Students there take things easy. It had good education and efficent buildings. It was a top ranked University that rivals our Academy. And plenty of people becomes successful after graduuating there. But since it's for the wealthy people, students are usually spoiled and mean, usually they bully scholars or plain looking people.

I mentally shivered at the memory of me being bullied by one of the females there. I studied there before but I immediately went to Medival Academy after three years studying in that school. I stayed their with some terrible memories but I also had good ones.

And a fact that Acleo students don't transfer to Medival Academy since everything here is so strict and uptight. I was only the one who transferred from Acleo to Medival. Besides, I didn't want to make things easy for me.

Since the three transferees passed the tests of the school, they might be quite intelligent. I'm a bit impressed, but not so much. It's already expected, most students here are very intelligent.

I raised a brow at her statement. "You want me to help them? But I'm a busy person head mistress. I might not be able to help them all the time."

She continues to smile. "It's alright, just for the time being. I'm sure you'll handle it fine. You're very responsible in many things. You have so many courses that you attend to and you are the vice president of the student council here. Maintaining those things until now means you're a responsible person Katherine."

I sighed, even if I try to protest she would still win. "Alright then, and tonight your daughter will be going at my house to tutor her and I'll reform her at the same time."

"That's good." The head mistress nods and called out to the three transferees. "Boys, I want you to meet Katherine A. Devereaux."

She says to them and my eyes widened a bit as I saw their faces. I felt something snapped right inside me. If it wasn't for the sake of appearances, I would already collapsed or worse, embarrass myself in front of these people.

I felt my heart stop at that momment. But I don't do it, I'm Katherine Devereaux and I don't loose my composture to anyone.

My eyes looked at their familiar faces. I know these people.

How?

These three were art of the people that I admire. No, It's not a crush or anything. Just admiration. Honestly, I do not know what to label it with. I'll settle with the word 'Crushes', it's too annoying what to name it anyway.

So? Why are they here?
