Xaianah Rue's POV

This is my first day here so I'm a complete stranger. Emsterdom High School, that's the name of this school. Pangalan pa lang, you can conclude that this school is very prestigious, or so I thought.

"Xia! Welcome to Emsterdom High!" Rinig kong sabi ng aking Tito Harold.

As I've heard, he's the current principal of this school. Well I'm glad about that.

"Good morning Tito! So, where's my classroom?" Tanong ko sa kanya kaya agad naman siyang tumango.

"Follow me!" Nakangiting wika niya.

Habang naglalakad, hindi ko maiwasang mamangha sa ganda ng paaralan. I could never imagine a school that looks like a mansion. Malalaki and mga gusali rito ngunit kahit ganoon ay may natitira pang space para sa mga gardens. Maaari kayang mayroon silang private landscape architect na kanilang hi-nire para sa ganitong trabaho?

"We're here Xia!" Nakangiting wika ni Tito but then he frowned at me.

"What?" I asked him.

"Ngumiti ka man lang. Emsterdom High is a child-friendly school so be friendly."

Right, friend. That's the reason why I transferred here, because of what they call FRIENDS. And I admit, I don't want to have friends anymore. I sighed, I already learned my lesson. Now back to reality.

"Xia, they're waiting for you inside," sabi ni Tito.

Pumasok na ako sa loob ng classroom at humarap sa aking mga kaklase. Maingay sa loob, I think I have talkative classmates here.

"Silence!" Sabi ng gurong nasa harap ng klase. No doubt this is our teacher. Agad namang nanahimik ang mga estudyante.

"Introduce yourself to your classmate since ikaw lang ang pumasok sa second week of school," said the teacher.

She's Marilyn Cortes, I saw it on her ID. She's strict, judging by the way she talk to me and the way the students follow her command a while ago.

"Good morning, I'm Xaianah Rue Vasco. You can call me Xia." Yun lang ang sinabi ko.

"You may now take your seat beside Mr. Torres. That boy on the last seat of the last row," sabi ni Ma'am Cortes kaya pumunta na ako sa upuang iyon. Habang papunta doon, nagbubulungan ang aking mga kaklase.

Alam Kong ako ang laman ng usapan nila kaya nanahimik na lang ako. Umupo na ako sa upuang sinabi ng guro at diretsong nakatingin sa harapan.

Classes went smoothly kaya hindi masakit sa ulo. By the way, I'm a Grade 10 student already. After the first and second period, dumiretso na ako sa cafeteria ng school to take a break.

While I was eating, biglang nagvibrate ang cellphone ko kaya kinuha ko iyon. Isang text message ang natanggap ko mula sa isang unregistered number.

"I've never seen someone like you. You're like the light in the darkness. You shine even in the darkest place. I hope you're enjoying your break Rue. Drink your chocolate while it's still hot. Looking forward to meeting you, love you."
