Chapter 6: First Day In The Academy

*Pant Pant Pant*

I checked my watch as I run as fast as I could at the Central Station where the academy’s bus will be picking me up.

I woke up pretty late and the bus comes at 7:30 in the morning and it’s already 7:31 in the morning! Will it wait for me?!

It was a 5 minute run from the apartment to the station.

Yes! The bus’s still here!

“Wa-wait!” I shouted panting before the driver.

“Bonjour! No worries miss. I wait for about five minutes before I leave.” The driver said. He was about fifty something. He has a bit of white hair in his hair already and he’s small.

Oh and don’t forget the beard.

Anyway, I went up the bus after thanking the driver then sat at the front left since no one was seated. Like I told you before, only four of us ride this bus to the academy since the rest lived in dorms.

I realized that we were only three here. So who’s the other one?

“I’m sorry for being late!” I heard a shout from outside the bus. It was a girl’s voice.

“No problemo! All complete? Let’s goooooooooooo!” The bus driver shouted. He was funny actually.

The girl sat behind me.

In the right side, two girls sat beside each other.

I decided to be friendly.

“Hey, what’s your name?” I asked the one at the back.

“Oh, me? Oh, duh, I’m the only one at the back.” She giggled. She’s so pretty with her long, blonde hair and it’s a bit wavy. Her black jet eyes and smile are so adorable. She looks very cheerful too.

“Anyways, sorry having a long introduction, I’m Desiree Lyka Chat. Just call me Desiree or Des.” She smiled offering her hand for a hand shake.

I took it and shake it lightly.

“I’m Lauren Tiffany Finn or Lauren.” I smiled.

“Love the name. I always wanted my name to be ‘Lauren’. I don’t know why but it sounds so...sophisticated.” She laughed.

“Desiree is so much better, it sounds so awesome?” I laughed.

“I’m flattered. Don’t make my head go big you know! Haha!” She laughed.

We kept on talking like this and after an hour, we arrived.

“We’re hereeee!” The bus driver called.

We all got down and went straight to the building.

We don’t know our sections yet so we proceeded first to the first floor, bulletin board.

Many people were crumpling each other to know what section they are.

“We’ll never be able to see our sections on time.” I said pouting.

Classes were at 9am and its 8:45am.

“Hmm, I know, let’s push our way in!” Desiree suggested.

“Seriously?” I asked.

“Well, how in the world are we going to know what section we are?” She sarcastically said.

I see her point.

I nodded in approval.

“In the count of three! One..Three!” She pulled my hand and pushed some people a way.
