Chasing Celestine

Chapter 2

3 weeks after the incident.

*RINGGGG*RINGGGG* (Phone rings)

A phone call woke me up in the middle of my sleep. Ugh damn who's this fcking caller. I looked at the screen. It was aunt Caroline. I immediately got up and answered the call.

"Funday monday! Are you ready for your first day sweetie?"

I looked at the time. Shoot. 30 mins. to go I'm gonna be late. I forgot today is my first day!

"Uhh y-yeah. Done preparing, heading to my school right now aunt. Don't worry." I lied while taking off my clothes and opened the shower.

"Okay, good to hear. I thought you're gonna be late Celestine. Remember act like normal okay?" She said with a calming voice.

"Oh yes aunt. I'll hang up now." I ended the call and hurriedly took a shower and wore my new uniform. I just then realized that I was wearing a very short skirt. Its above the knee, for pete's sake is this still a school? I tied up my hair in a bun and grab my bag, inside it were just a notebook, a pen, a phone, and a canned soda.

Well honestly, I don't need a pen and a notebook because I can use my powers and just jot it down on my head. I'm on my way to my school right now and I noticed my stomach was empty. It was churning, ugh nevermind.

I arrived on my new school. I'm infront of it so I stared the whole school for awhile. Remember Celest, this is not a school for casters. Its for normal people so act like one. I sighed and entered the school. I saw students walking on different paths. Some were sitting on the bench, laughing, talking. Some were reading and many more.

While heading to the student's bulletin to find the building where my room is located a girl came infront of me with her eyes gleaming and lips smiling.

"Hi! You must be new here. I'm Ayesha, head of student council. So, can I have your admission slip? At para narin maihatid kita sa room mo. Incase hindi mo alam."

I had a tight grip on the straps of my backpack. Another encounter of a normal people.

"Uhm, err.. Oh yes its here," I gave my admission slip. Her eyes brightened.

"You're in the star section Ms. Mawry! Congrats, so follow me we'll be heading to your room."

Star section what? She looks so amazed when she found out about my section. What's with it?

"What is star section? Are there S-Class students there?" I asked her, and her face turned into confusion.

"S-Class students? No Ms. Mawry, but the students there were intelligent."

I just nodded. I forgot this isn't a school for casters just like us, we have a section that is for S-Class Casters. After a couple minutes of going up, walking straight, turning right. We stopped outside the door. This must be my section. I took a sneak peak inside the room.

Students were busy chatting around, reading, writing, and many more. But group of students caught my attention. They were like group of friends. I don't know why but I can sense some kind of force in here. What the hell is happening to me, not know Celestine.

"So I guess, hanggang dito nalang. See you next time Ms. Mawry! Have fun. Enjoy your first day." She waved at me and left me standing there alone.

What am I gonna do? Sht sht sht don't panic Celest. Act like one.

I stepped inside. And I feel like the time stop and they stop what they were doing just to stare at me. Everyone was quiet.

A guy walk towards me. "So you must be the new student." He broke the silence. He look so confident and arrogant. I hate his presence.

"Y-yeah. Hi everyone. I'm Celestine Ash Mawry. I came from England and travel all the way long here to study. Nice to meet you guys." I said.

The guy put his arm around my shoulders. That caught me off guard, damn his presence is lingering my entire system. So I immediately stay away from him and went to the vacant seat. Everyone laughed and it was a bit awkward. Is there something funny?

Narinig ko ring napa-oww yung mga friends niya, a sound of disappointment.

People were still staring at me. Ugh I wanna do something. Do something Celest. Do something. I was about to cast a spell secretly when the teacher arrived. They were saved by the bell.

There's nothing interesting. I already studied those lessons they were taking up..

We are the modern casters. We have the same technology on what the normal people have but more advance than they have. We used to create more advanced technology to hid our identities.

After a few hours of discussion it was dismissal time. My head aches. I didn't know it wasn't easy to deal with normal people. Unlike us casters, we're calm, emotions are balanced. I was left all alone in the room, and I want to take a nap but someone stood infront me. It was the guy who touched me.

"You're really something. Something that I can't puzzled out." His face was closer to me. His blue eyes were intimidating, I bet he's just a half filipino. His hair was messy, and I can smell his masculine scent. But one thing I knew his lips were red and his skin was pale.

I looked away. What is he talking about? "I don't know what you're talking about Mr.?--"

"Daniel Stanfield," he was smiling.

"Whoever you are, I don't care. You feel so close to me even we're not. You're so confident as if you were popular." I rolled my eyes and stood up. I was about to walk away but...

He grabbed my wrist, "I find you interesting Ms. Celestine. You won right now, but I won't let you won next time."

"Let go of me, or else...," I stopped.

"Or else what?" He tightly hold my wrist.

I can kill you, Daniel.

"None of your business  Mr. Stanfel ugh whatever," I took the chance to let go of his grip and walked away.

"You owe me something Ms. Mawry," pahabol niya pa kaso di ko na siya pinakinggan pa at nagtuloy tuloy na ako sa paglakad.

I won't let him discover who I am. No normal people can discover our existence. I won't let anyone, not even a single information. Even you, Daniel.
