~ CHAPTER 1 ~AS I WALK through this enormous hallway. Some were starting to whisper and murmur things about me. I could tell, I have great hearing skills. I was used to hearing anything even in a far direction or corner. Maybe my ears were just born this way. I don't mind though, I could just tune it down if I want to.
"What family does she come from?"
"What does she have?"
"Oh my god! Her dress is not fantastic!"
"What did she do?"
"Who is she?"
A lot of murmurs came my way, until I reached the headmaster's office, together with this guard who looks like a soldier to me, the way he moves and acts, he's like a soldier back there in the organization. This academy is sooooo weird. Even the way going here and being here is weird. Hmmm...
"Good morning headmaster." the soldie- I mean guard said too formally. The HM was still facing his back on us, he was near the huge glass window who looks grand and elegant at the same time. With the golden and silvery design.
He sighs then nodded for the guard to continue.
"This girl was saying that she's here to study. She said she came from the family of- - "he was cut off by the headmaster.
"No need to tell the details. I'll just check her forms. And.... You may leave." the guard bow before exiting the huge, tall and elegant looking door. Well, everything here screams richness. No argue with that.
Then the headmaster faced me. He looks old but still has this young look. But what caught me was his eyes and hair. He looks familiar. Maybe I just imagine it or something, but I feel like we were.... My thoughts were cut off by his voice.
"Have a sit miss... ." He trailed off while gesturing his hands to the seat in front of the huge, fancy, wooden table.
"Micca. Short for Michaela."I gave him a polite smile and sat in the huge chair, again, a chair that looks like it's worth a million bucks.
He gave me a warm smile in return then sat in his own chair that is wider than the seat I'm in.
He looked and scanned my files, analyzing it then faced me.
"Looks like, you came from a well-known family in your town. But I'm wondering why I haven't seen or heard about this family of yours." He's staring at me intently. Old man, I was already prepared with that question.
"My family just like to keep quiet with their reputation sir. They don't like to be exposed to publicity. Only to our town." I kept my polite smile on my face while answering.
He nods in understanding.
"Okay. Your forms will be taken care of. It will be done within a day, then you'll be a regular student here." he said with formality then shook my hands. Phew! Thank god that was over. Good thing the forms were already taken care of when I was sent here. Pheeew!
Then he pressed the button at the lower-right side and spoke." Grace Beorhtric, come here in my office right away." I can hear the faint sound of the speakers outside.
It didn't even have to take a minute, we heard a knock on the door.
If you're asking why I'm counting, blame training for that.
Anyways. ...
"Come in." it was the headmaster. Then a girl in my age pops into view.
"Good morning headmaster!" the girl said gleefully. Now that is an excited and cheerful voice.
"Good morning Grace... ." he gestured to the seat next to me." Be seated."
Because he pointed the seat near me, she saw me then her face lit up!
She's cute.
Once she was seated, she then clung to me & asked questions and started to talk about herself.
"Hi! I'm Grace. Grace Beorhtric." we shook hands then, she speaks again." I'm 19 years old and I love love love cooking and baking. I guess they're the same, but anyways, do you love pizza? Do you?! Do you?! Coz I love love love pizza as much as baking or cooking or whatever and oohhh oohhh ohh!!! I could make one for you! And - -" she was cut off by the headmaster. She was a fast talker.
"Grace. Let me talk first." She just smiled then made a peace sign.
"Sorry." she grinned.
The headmaster cleared his throat then started speaking." Grace, meet Michaela, she is a new student here." Grace was about to squeal but stopped herself, she was still clinging to me though. "Both of you will be roommates." With that my friends, wait I have friends?! We-we wait back to her. Grace squealed in delight then grinned like a Cheshire cat.
"I would love that!!!" she said excitedly.
"Show her to the room both of you will be staying in. Tour her around before Monday comes, then make sure she already has her uniform, I.D. and the necessary stuff needed for school. Understand?"
"Yes, gra- - I mean sir!" she's still smiling.
We all rose up then shook hands. "Welcome to Heirs' Academy. May you enjoy your stay. Here's a book for the rules and regulations of this school. Once again, enjoy." He handed it to me then gave me a warm smile. On which I returned.
I was then pulled out from that office.
*squeal* "I'm sooooo excited that we're gonna be roommates!"
I faced her masking my voice to an excited one. "Me too!" Well, I guess I'm still excited for my task.
She grinned again then started to guide me, which I guess is the room we'll be in.
...
I guess this will be a piece of cake.
To be continued....
