Chapter 1

"My father didn’t give me my schedule.” I said as Iris, Red, and I walked inside the school.

“What schedule?” Iris asked, confused.

“My class schedule. For example: seven thirty to eight thirty: Biology or something like that.” I explained waving my hand dismissively.

“We don’t have that kind of system here.” Red said, shaking his head slightly.

“What do you mean?”

“We are assigned to a class for the whole school year,” Iris answered. “We have eight sections for the Senior High School Students, four for the eleventh graders and four for us twelfth graders, as well.”

“We will know our classrooms or should I say our sectioning today,” Red continued cheerfully as he opened the door for Iris and I. “It’s always posted on the bulletin board.”

Once we’ve entered the school, my mouth dropped open. I did not expect it to be so modern. The inside of the school was nothing like the old façade of it outside. Outside, it looked like it had been a part of an old church a century ago. But here inside was like a hotel or a mall. The walls were painted milk white. The floor was also as white as the walls but it was so shiny that you can see a bit of your reflection when you look down.

“Say, Iris, Red is this really a school or a hotel?” I mumbled looking around the place.

A huge, diamond chandelier was hanging at the center of the lobby, pictures of respected and noble people like the Royal Family were hanged on the walls as well as the trophies and other school awards the school had receive.

Red and Iris laughed, “A school that looks like a five star hotel,” Red answered.

“There are also rooms here that you can use to havesome fun.” Iris winked, emphasizing the word ‘fun’

I made a disgusted face that made both Red and Iris laughed. “I’m just kidding!”

I roll my eyes. “Don’t be so serious, love.” Red said then patted my head

“Red, Iris! Hey guys wait.” We turned to look at the guy who called the attention of Red and Iris.

“Louis, mate!” Red approached the guy who was named Louis I presumed then gave him a one arm hug. Iris did the same thing too.

“It’s been a long time since we last saw each other!” Iris kissed Louis’ cheek.

“I know babe, I know. And I missed you so much!” He said and pinched her cheek

I want to ask Red if Iris and Louis are together but I kept my mouth shut and just looked at them.

“Louis, this is Alissandra Cambride,” I was shocked when Red placed his arm around my shoulder, “But she wants to be called ‘Alice’ and Alice this is Louis Tomlinson.”

“Nice to meet you, Alice.”

“Nice to meet you, too, Louis

We both smiled warmly at each other then shook hands. After that we went straight to the place where the bulletin board was located

“Uh Red, how did you know my surname?” I asked.

He laughed, “Because of your I.D” he pointed at the small rectangular pin that was pinned on my right part of my coat.

I face palmed, “Of course!

A few students were huddled together in front of the bulletin board searching for their names that was printed in a sheet of bond paper that was posted on the bulletin board.
