The two hours drive was really a short one, I couldn't get enough. This place is absolutely not what I expected. Everybody seemed happy and lively, even the birds seemed merrier. The place was so beautiful, like somewhere from a movie. Miss Lady-I know her name is wired-said that the place is one of those islands located somewhere on the Pacific Ocean that you can't find on a map. Another question, how did my parents find this place? Miss Lady said literally the same thing my parents said. This is where you come when you feel like you don't fit with the world. "You can find any kind of being here-halfly human, fully human, not human, almost human, just human..." She said with a squeak which I'm sure is supposed to be a laugh. Then suddenly she said sternly. "...but you don't judge anyone, you live in harmony and love, or else you can't stay here!" Was that a threat? Curiosity took over me. "Does that mean I would be sent back home if I do that?" "No, but you won't stay here either!" I was scared! It's not possible to just love everyone. I was quiet for the rest of the trip. I wanted to know more, but I didn't think I was bold enough to ask or strong enough to receive the answer, so I just let myself to be led to whatever fate awaited me.
So place is not just a school campus, it's a whole community, I mean world; where people school, work and live. It's another part of the universe with normal activities but not so normal people, that the rest of the world is not aware of. I can't imagine what awaits me.

Everything happened super fast, one minute I was given my schedule and hostel, another minute I was unpacking and settling. I had to admit that my room was better than the one at home and I realized it must have caused my parents a fortune to do all this. Question, what is so worth all this? Safety? Safety from what?
I had just left the shower when the hostel phone rang. Strange, I mean I'm new here. I picked but didn't respond, a technique mom taught me at home for strange calls. " Lady Shoot here, you have orientation in thirty minutes at orientation room number 204 at the orientation hall, see you." And that's it. She didn't even bother to know wether I was the one who picked or not.
I found a car waiting for me outside and got in. I learn quickly and I've learnt not t to question the ways of these people. I was taken to a very big building with words; ORIENTATION HOUSE at the top. Immediately I walked in, I was asked "room number?"
"204" I said equally quickly. "Second floor... fourth room" "thank you" I went on to the second floor and found the room, 204 written on it. I tapped twice, and with no response, I walked in. It was completely empty, apart from a table and a chair. Not two chairs, a chair. I wanted to walk out but on second thoughts I walked to the chair and sat down, immediately an in built television slides out of the wall and came alive. The face that appeared on the screen made me blink twice. Smiling back at me was my sister! My very own Mirina that I've been wanting to just get a glimpse of. Now right in front of me, not literally, I don't know what to say or do. "Welcome to Oblique High School.... Taroyce Hudlin. You are here to be told all you need to know about this school. I am Bedlyn Blue, your student Vice President." "Bedlyn Blue?" I gasped. "Yes, Bedlyn Blue." What? So she can hear me? So we can interact then? What can I say to her then? I'm sure she's my sister but she's Bedlyn Blue. "Shall we go on?" "Wait!" I screamed. I saw her flinch. I didn't mean to scream but this was too much to take. "Is something wrong?" She asked uncomfortably. Shouldn't I be asking her that? "I'm sorry but I don't know if you remember this but you are my sister. You are Mirina Hudlin and I've been waiting to meet or hear from you for years." The smile returned to Mirina-Bedlyn's face. Is that a good sign? Yes Taroyce, I'm a sister to everyone on this campus and you must be lucky to have me orienting you since like you everyone else would love to meet me. You would be lucky to know more about me by the end of this his orientation. So shall we go on now?" I was so shocked. Everything is so out of place. It will be useless trying to talk to her, so..." sure, go on." I returned her smile weakly.

I couldn't help but think it was the best idea to have told the driver to pick me up later while I took a walk. I needed it. All this was killing me and it was just my first day here. I know it was dangerous to be walking alone in a strange area at this late evening but I really needed it, I've been more confused and lost in my life. I really needed to find Mirina and talk to her in person, maybe that will help. But how? I needed to find her 'office'. But I don't even know this campus well. Lost in my thoughts, I bumped into someone. "I'm..." I couldn't end my words as I raised my head. His hands were holding me in place. Even though he was wearing mittens and his hands were not directly in contact with my arm, goosebumps were visible on my arm from the contact. When I raised my head, my eyes locked with the most beautiful boy I've ever seen. He was so beautiful, almost fragile but equally dangerous. His skin was the palest of white, his hair ebony black and his lips the deepest shade of red. Looking at him made me think of Snow White. But his eyes were the most captivating, it was the deepest of ocean blue and almost watery. And it had that sparkle like when a ray of light hit the ocean wave. He was so beautiful that I needed a lot of strength to keep myself from touching his face. I forced myself to look away, anywhere but his eyes. Then I found myself staring at his lips. A boy shouldn't be this beautiful. "You are so beautiful." I was surprised I would said that out loud till I realized it wasn't my voice. The voice was so deep and calm like the breeze. I looked back at his face to see him surprise as I was. "I'm sorry." And with that he was gone. Like a dream or imagination, the only prove of his existence left was his hand mark on my arm. It was him, from the plane. He had his hood and mittens on again. But why? Any boy would put the beauty on display but hid not only under the hood but here in this world. And did he call me beautiful? Or was that my imagination too. It took me all will to raise my leg and walk again. But I knew I wasn't walking away from him, I knew I'll find him again. And it gave me hope for my sister too, and everything else. Why? I don't know, but I could feel it.
