Chapter 1
We, humans, are greedy and wicked
That's what Ms. Lagan told us last 5 years ago. If you ask me about my opinion, I agree to her.
I was still in my sophomore year when she told us that, she was our Economics teacher. To be honest, she is kind and sweet to all of her student but she resigned due to her age.
Let's move on.

The cool breeze of the evening air welcomed me as I get off the cab that brought me here. If it wasn't by my sense of responsibility to report the latest case I had, I'd rather have my early dinner by myself back in the dormitory.
I felt a vibration in my pocket so I immediately took my phone. I wonder if it's about a new case from the higher authorities.
" Hello?" I answered.
"Ms. Rutherford?" said the voice on the other line. I can imagine the face of a blond lady wearing a white blouse and a high-waist black square pants. It was definitely Ms. Shelly
"Yeah, speaking," I said as I looked up at the building in front of me.
"The Dean wanted to talk to you now."
"As in—"
"Right now" I somehow sensed a hint of urgency on her. I let out a deep sigh and walked inside the building.
"Okay, I'll be there in 3 minutes" I said as I ended the call.
I walked fast and look at my watch, 1 minute pass
Sheems. I hissed

"Your always time-conscious . Very well, I would like to tell you that you mother wanted you to transfer to your home town—" Mr. Felix was cut by me
"Home town? You mean... Philippines?" I butted in
"Uhuh" I felt a nagging presentiment of going back home
"Mom?" I felt a little sting in my neck, moments later, everything went black.
FAST FORWARD
Ughh.
My neck is so stiff, sheems....I can't shake my head properly.

I banged my head with my palm
Mom
"O gising ka na pala"—
"Pa? Did you change my alarm again?" I ask my dad
"Hay nako anak, di ka pa sanay sa papa mo."—
"Ma? Why are you here in Englan—" I'd just realized that I'm in my room her in the Philippines.
"I'm here already?!?" I hysterically asked them
"Don't state what's obvious dear" ughh why does mom never change
"By the way, you will be transferred to an Elite Academy for you to continue your college" She added
I let out a deep sigh
"By the way, you're not in England anymore so better know your own language, here's yor registration form kid" my dad butted in
I gulped for the first time then looked at the registration form
