And so I decided to go down and eat something in the dining hall, but when I opened the door, someone's lying there flat on the floor.

DEAD?!

But then he moved... Whew! He's alive, but wait why is he lying there flat on the floor in front of my room door?

"Help me... Please, don't let him take me away..." He grumbled.

Is he asleep? Then a window flashed to my mind. What's up with this prediction of mine?

He repeated his statement a while ago.

I tried helping him out, I pulled him up. He's heavy. Maybe I should take him inside my room. I put him on the sofa, and he's still asleep. I didn't know him. But I guess he's a student.

He smells like chocolate... And his face is so...like a prince's and he's got a lot of muscle. He's a bit buff, but why was he sleeping in there? He's so handsome; I've never been so close to such a good looking person since I am a weird girl, no one bothers to talk to me, and at my old school I get bullied all the time, my locker is always messed up by other students. Threat messages flood my locker. And my projects are always on F even though I did much better than others, I guess my teachers doesn't like me that much. And during classes paper airplanes fly to me containing hate messages. I still can't blame them, who'd want to hear when they're going to die or how they're going to die.

There's only a single person at school who I like so much, our school nurse, she treats my wounds and bruises all the time. But then one day I had a prediction about her that she'll have a car accident. I tried avoiding her. I don't want to break the awful news to her, she'd hate me.

But she noticed it to me; she asked me whether she's going to die already. I don't know how to answer her. You what she did to me when I didn't answer? Well, she just smiled at me with tears in her eyes and said, "Halo, you go be strong. Don't let them beat you up. I will always be watching out for you wherever I may be."

I prayed hard for my prediction not to come true, but my predictions are always 100% sure to happen.

People say that she died because I cursed her. I was called a witch many times, that's alright for me. Because I know to myself that I'm not. You know what after her death everything that regularly happens to me every day worsened.

Sometimes I even wished that I was a real witch so that I can kill them all. Yeah, I know that's bad. You see, even though my wounds heal quickly, it still hurts whenever someone punches me or someone stabs me.

Good thing I'm in this academy now before those people burn me alive.

Hmmmm..., why didn't they burn me alive, I guess there's something good about them after all or they're afraid they might go to jail by doing so. I think my second idea was the right one.

My stomach is roaring like crazy already. I really need to eat but I can't leave him here. He might think I kidnapped him or something.

Hope he wakes up soon, or I'll have to skip dinner or eat him, LOL, just kidding. Should I just call Mr Hawks or Ms Grace since they gave me their contact numbers for emergency?

"Yeah, that's right I'm going to call Ms Grace."

Then he suddenly sprung up from the sofa and grabbed my phone.

"No need to call her. I'm up."

"Oh? Alright." That's all I could say?

"I'm sorry to have disturbed you."

"That's alright." Wait, I'm talking dumb! I need to make a conversation or I'll end up being a freak again. "May I know why you were sleeping on the floor?"

He smiled and replied, "Nah, I wasn't sleeping purposely there, I passed out again, I guess."

"Again? You mean you've passed out before like that?"

"Yeah, it happens to me a lot during the evenings. And well I passed out early tonight I guess, one of my unlucky nights. I was about to go to my room to take a rest but, I snoozed off."

"Why not tell Ms Grace or Mr Hawks about it?"

But then he looked at me straight in the eyes and said, "Tell them! And what, let them have experiments on me? Don't you dare tell them about this!"

"I'm sorry I didn't want to upset you, I just thought that they're going to help, 'coz they seem very nice people."

He sarcastically laughed and then said, "You're new, aren't you?"

I nodded.

"Mr Hawks and Ms Grace search for bright and talented students to add to their collection of guinea pigs. And..."

He stopped.

"And what?" Why did he just stop? I want to know, I need to know.

"Can't tell you, I don't even know you."

"Look, this academy for now is the safest place for me in the world. But now that you've given me that idea, I can't tell whether this would be safest for me."

He looked confused.

"Lanrete Academy? Safe you say? First of all do you know what this academy is for? Has anyone orient you about the academy?"

Well, my orientation is scheduled tomorrow morning together with my first interview.

"No one has."

He sat down on the sofa then he stared at me and said, "Then let me orient you, tonight. I am Dylan Skies a warrior of Chevese."

Whoa! Is this guy crazy, he just said he's a warrior?

I thought I was the one here with the special needs, I guess I'm not alone. LOL

A/N: What do you think about Dylan? Is he a friend or a foe? Is Lanrete Academy the safest for Halo?
