(A/N: sorry guys, I have been so busy with school. Centuries ago na po akong hindi nag-uupdate. Bawi nalang po dito sa chap. nato)

Rosella's POV:

Today, me and Hailey got so excited for our Acquaintance party, and it's so funny cause we forced ourselves to sleep early last night because of excitement. Now, I'm in front of our door leaning on the wall while waiting for Hailey that is still inside.
Gosh, she really prepares much for this.

"Gosh. What took you so long?" my question greeted her.

"What's the rush? It's still early." she answered

"Come on!" I grabbed her hand.

Our floor is still on the 3rd one, we'll still have to pass 2 stairs. What if, we'll miss something? I can't wait...

There are a lot of students ahead of us too, so we ran quickly and beated the stair cases rushly. Then, Hailey kept on saying sorry to those students whom I have bumped. Gosh, she kept on apologising, no one are even noticing or listening to her.

When we got down, we still had to pass through the long space between 10 sakura trees on the left and right to get through the Pavilion.
I didn't know why it became alive and gave life at our place, maybe because of a HERBYSTICAL Potion poured in it. I read about it in the book subjected Herbology. Yes, I read always too ; unlike Hailey that is such an opposite of a bookworm.

When we entered the Pavilion, you can guess maybe a hundred thousands of students are in there.
It's really overcrowded. Gosh! I can't take it. Thank goodness that our Pavilion is huge.

" Today is the perfect time to meet new friends and acquaintances. So, - - blah blah blah"

Now, me and Hailey took our seats and are ready to watch the magical performances. Imagine, fireworks outside and it's daytime? Gosh.

Then, a gorgeous--, oh uhm..a cool styled lady passed through us then looked back. Gosh, what's her deal?

" Patterson isn't it?.. I'm Veronica Vontesier.." she introduced herself proudly and shared her hand to offer a hand shake.

" Yes. Nice to meet you." she replied and accepted the hand shake.

"Uhm, this is Rosella Westenberg."
she introduced me too.

I waved my hand at her as a "hello".

Then, she just raised her eyebrow at me. Then, went back on her way.

"Uh... That was truly..."

"Embarrassing! She's a complete, walking....DISASTER!" my complaint.

"Little rude.." Hailey replied.

"In front of a lot of people? Seriously? GOOOOOSSHHHH!" - me

"She must be the girl we knew on the Divination class last week."

"Ok calm. Must not think of it." - me

*inhale*
*exhale*

"Let's go to the booths!" then luckily, Hailey comforted me.

Then, we went to the enchanted forest booth. It seems so magical, but I knew it was plastic. Or, just from a charm.
It's obvious that it's just an optical illusion which makes it so awesome.

The walls has sparkles and it's shimmering and shining, haha. I guess only ladies can feel comfort here because of its type of art.

And, it's so fun cause me and Hailey took pictures near the plants looking thingy and when we felt tired, we went out the booth and there's like a...

"Now, let's look at the picture."
Hailey requested.

" Sure, come here.. "

We stared at it and we felt creep when we saw a creature behind us.

" What's this green creature that camouflaged on the plants? "she asked

" I don't understand this thingy too."
I said

" Maybe it's just part of the display. "
She replied.

" Oh gosh. We must see it again! " I requested.

" But, we have to pay again to get inside. "she advised

We just slowly walked until our conversation brought us to the sakura garden which there are trees and the one that we passed a while ago. We sat on one of the benches to talk about any topic... Then, we felt hunger.

So, we went to the food stand that has our favorite snack.  "PIGS IN A BLANKET!" haha.. It's just what we call it, until we went near a garbage can to throw our sticks.

Then, me and Hailey suddenly coughed together, and both laughed because of what we did.

" Hey, step aside. We need air. "

A professor carried a girl student that collapsed and fell on the ground.

Some are waving their fan to the girl to avoid the warmth and to make her cool under this heat.

"What's that smell?" one of the students asked.

Because a bluegreen-colored mist appeared.

"Hey! Where did it come from?"
-students

Me and Hailey began wondering too.

*cough*
*cough*
*cough*

"Ugh! Th-that mist,, is.. making us.. Ugh! COUGH!" - Hailey

"Th-then, let's r-run away from it!!!"
I grabbed her and we both ran.

We ran anywhere just away from that bad awful-smelled mist. While coughing too, and covering our mouth and nose.

The crowd became so wild and loud, now no one even cared for each other.

"Rose, it's making us weak." she said in a painful tone.

"I-I know. One more,, run, then, we can hide f-from that mist."

*running*

I kept on covering my nose from my shirt, until Hailey fell on the ground.

"Oh no, Hailey!"

I tried to carry her when a guy gave two wet handkerchiefs. One for me and one for Hailey, and he has one for him too. Then, he help us stood up.
I can't see him clearly because it's so foggy. But then, I realized that he's familiar, I just can't remember where I saw him. Maybe around the school?

Yeah, but I'm not pretty sure that we have met before. We just ran together to avoid and get away from this catastrophe. We landed in a calling booth, entered and I'm sure that we will just be staying here for a while. Then finally, he intoduced his self.

"Hi, I'm.."
