It was during the month of September on the sixth day that Chrysella was unable to fall asleep. She was excited at the back to school idea but also annoyed at the new student's idea too...
-Chrysella you must sleep, Makena's sleepy voice told her
-sorry to disturb you...

In the morning a rough voice shouts from the room at the end of the corridor:-Chrysella dear!come here
-yess dad I'm coming she replied while combing her hair
In the room,the father is resting in front of  the mirror when his daughter arrives
-yes dad!?
-come let's pray please call the others...They all kneel down and the father raises his voice Lord God of Grace...In the name of Jesus Christ this is my prayer
-so be it! they all shout together
wait for me in the car,he said to Chrysella
-but I am not yet done! She says mokingly you!! This was the short expression often used by Richard Gips ,hurry up I give you five minutes I also have to go to work oh!!
-I'll be ready even before that...
In the car
-you know the way in which you drive,one would think it's a eighteen year old
-angel I know by heart the art of the car since I was fifteen!!
-hmm I see ; do you know what I intend on doing??
-what??
-sixty year is not nothing! I'll celebrate great you'll see
-dear I have passed the age of parties
-don't say that and since we were born during the same month it'll be greater
-you'll never change...

In the mist of John Cramer College Chrysella is accompanied by her father at whom people are staring
-woooh looks scary,the father throws with his bewildered eyes after meeting those that were starting at his daughter
-well I'm so pretty that they mistake me for an angel straight from heaven!
-I know right!? Your mother and I did a wonderful job
In the principal 's office
-Good morning mister Abrahams,Richard greets
-Morning sir please have a sit the girl can wait outside
-I believe that's all for me,another voice says after shaking the principal 's hand, after school she will come back Antoinette, he adds surely at the attention of the other girl waiting with me
-yes dad!
-Antoinette does he see himself still in the 15th century or what?
           In the office
-please call the girl outside for me? Mister Gips says with humbleness
-of course sir
           Outside
-hmm you're needed inside
-doesn't she have manners?? You're needed inside
      Inside
-yes dad?
-you'll come back after school to collect your uniform okay?sorry sir I'm in a hurry I'll come back this afternoon to finish the payment
-okay thank you for the trust you put in our establishment
-I'll take my leave thank you! Bye Chrysella dear I'll bring your lunch but if not make use of this money
-bye love you dad
-so the principal exclamed, since you are late you'll wait for the bell and join the next class
-yes sir Chrysella said picking her backpack
-wait at the canteen

She holds her books and the key that she's been handed for her locker and she walks straight down to a huge hall with big round tables and discontinued benches.
She sits at a table far apart from others and takes out a best seller book that reads "Incontestable Voyage A Paris" and opens on page 45,she is into the story with the images forming in her head and living every scene , she is then interrupted by a guy laying on his stomach on the floor with books scattered all over the place
-are you okay?she enquires placing her hair behind her right hear
-all good thanks
-oh sorry she places one knee on the floor and starts picking the books
-no you are not obliged
-where are you off to with so many books? I can accompany you if you want to
-thanks but these are few I'll manage
-no these are too many for one person but okay!! Bye

She takes her sit back and dives right back into her story but she's forced to resurface once the bell rings
-aaah! she exclames, couldn't you wait for me to finish this chapter??
She stands and scans the entire café but cannot find Antoinette
-Mnhh! !
She starts off towards the corridor that her father and her used earlier on looking right and left in search of her next class she bumps into a teacher
-ah sorry sir
-no problem you seem lost can I help you??
-yeah I'm in search of lit LA
-well you're lucky dear come with me I have a lesson in that class
The principal approaches them
-Jean Francisco she's new please introduce her
The classroom is as noisy as the market but as he enters it quiets completely and a guy from the corner says
-Jesus has passed
And they all start off
-shut up!!inteoduce yourself
-HI I am Chrysella Walker Gips
-as we have the habit you'll get to talk but after my period off course
-aaaaaaaaah everyone scream
- can we at least know which school she's from?
-I'm from Quincy College
-murmurs go across the room it's just a small school she'll fall
After hearing that he shakes off his head and points her the only empty desk
-thank you
The period went an ambiance that Chrysella wasn't habituated to
After three infinite hours the bell rings for a break of forty five minutes and she walks out with her book and takes her morning sit and the book guy appears in front of her with a can of cool drink along with a plate of chips
-you aren't eating he asks while taking a seat
-excuse me do we know each other?
-we can say that you have a bad memory!
-pardon??
-you insisted to help me with the books this morning
-oh sorry!! I was in my book
-who's it?
-Elria
- ever heard of her
-well the way you scattered the books this morning clearly showed that you and books aren't friends
-and it's no lie

Chrysella at home had the reputation of 'I'm shy in front of guys' thus her sisters teased her for this but why was she so carefree before this one?

Her loud laugh was interupted by the arrival of three girls with matched clothing
-hey you new
-are you talking to me??
-of course who else??
-I don't like your tone!
-we aren't asking you to like our tone but we are here to rather warn you there are places where you shouldn't set fooot okay?
-I wasn't intending to but since you are forbidding me I'll surely do
-don't act smart with me or you'll regret it !
-it's you who came to me not the other way around
The third girl who hadn't said anything raises her voice:
-it's a bad beginning
-I'll take note of that you can go back now
They went with a grudge against her,it was the first time that "harmony" had gone back put back in their place by a neww
-wooow you spoke to them with such calm every other girls are scared of them
-I am not every other girl
While they were talking another girl came
-so Carl you don't fetch me any more??
-aah forgive me beauty!
-it's nothing! It's then that she notices Chrysella, ohh hey!! She says ,neww? ?
-yeah
-Karia Rolsted
-Chrysella Walker
-oh stupid,Carlos, from what I see you love reading?
-it's my hobby
-I saw harmony coming from here ... I'm wondering why they went back without humiliating you and how's that possible?? Aah Ella you'll be in trouble
-Ella??
-Kari has the habit of shortening people's names but it's been different for me before we became friends she was calling me Alors
-rather cute,Chrysella said with a smile
-rather original, actually Karia added
-she's the only one that calls me like that
Despite it being based on diverse topics their conversation was loud as though they were friends of long date
The bell rang for classes to restart with the same ambiance that Chrysella was finding really boring ,during geography period she managed to fall asleep ... these caused trouble with the teacher that has a great lack of understanding
-woooh geo wouldn't be that great I guess
Once school was out she sat at the field to wait for her father at a bench she sits with her legs crossed, still reading... a guy arrives to talk to her
-HI neww,mokingly
-oh really so??
-I tought we could chat a little
-ooh the old wants to befriend me??
-funny!Jordan
-glad to meet you ,Chrysella
-can I ??
-as you please!this is your territory
-you're funny! Since I'm here you've been checking your watch
-well it's been an hour and my dad is not yet here he doesn't have the habit of being late
-you're old enough from why I can see??
-I didn't say the opposite did I? ?
She takes her cellphone out
-but what are you doing?? Phones aren't allowed
-I didn't know cover me ... hi dad
-Chrysella I know but I'm stuck in traffic and I must be in the office in 10 minutes
-it's okay I'll go back alone
-thank you dear...
-so??
-I asked you to cover me nothing else okay bye
-Ella wait for me you're going already? ?
-yeah my dad can't pick me up
-then can we go together? ?
-of course why not?? Will you take a taxi? ?
-could we just wait for Alros? ?
-shall we??
Along the way
-I'm glad they accepted me at my old school it was nearly impossible I can feel that things won't be great with harmony
-they are the Hartgrave sisters they think they are some sort of divas...
-... They are nothing I'll handle them
-I prefer warning you , they have various characters that makes them harmony Alros says breaking the silence, putting aside they blood relationship... They call themselves harmony so you see Muriel the youngest she isn't bad but her sisters, Miriam she is and does everything like her sister we can say that she's Marissa's shadow what can I say about her?? She leaves me speechless
-Alros you give us the impression that you are exhibiting the behaviour of these stupid girls!
They burst into laughter...
