HELENA

The guy who I met earlier knocked on the wooden door, interrupting the class inside.

After I told him I was a transferee, he asked for my section and told me to follow him. Afterwards he didn't said another word as he brought me to my respective classroom.

He's oddly quiet and he's weirdly calm. I knew he wasn't ordinary the moment I saw him. Any other normal guy would instantly lust over me and I would be force to feed on them. However none of those clićhe scenes happened.

Well, I guess it shouldn't be surprising since I go to a school that's specially for demons and humans to coexist, of course they'd think of a way to protect them from us. But still, I keep feeling that there is something strange about this guy.

"Good day Miss Anise, you have a new student here," he greeted the teacher and then gestured me to go inside.

"Thank you Zack, I'll take it from here now," Miss Anise said. I glance at Zack, who's name I just knew, and still wonder the same question earlier.

After the guy left, all attentions were on me. Glad they notice my presence already, I'm just referring to the girls. Kanina pa kasi nakatingin sa pintuang pinanggalingan ni Zack.

"I supposed I need to introduce myself?" I said.

They all nodded, except Miss Anise who casually said, "Yes."

"I'm Helena Lavigne. Of course my name rings a bell to some of you, and to some who don't, well, better stay the hell outta my way," I said not blinking throughout my sentence.

I never intended to look mean, but that just how it is to be a demon. And besides, I don't like anyone getting closer to me while secretly planning behind my back.

I saw some of my co-demons here smirking at me. They too had the same pretty faces. But ofcourse, there's still a boundary between being pretty and being beautiful. To a demon's dictionary, their faces are just ordinary.

I never wasted my time looking at the idiotic humans who either had those envious faces or lustful gazes.

I took my seat at wherever's not taken and comfortable then the discussion began.

Nang matapos sa pagturo si Miss Anise, napansin kong isa-isang nagsisilabasan ang ilan sa mga kaklase ko. Habang nanatili naman kaming mga hindi ordinaryo dito sa loob. You know what I mean.
Maya-maya pa ay nadadagan kami ng mga kauri namin and they took the seats of my former classmates. I'm guessing that the third subject is somehow exclusive for us demons only.

They either come in pairs or groups, but I usually don't care. What actually caught my attention were two handsome guys who casually stride inside.

They somehow possess the aura of an authority in this school. Mahahalatang respetado sila ng lahat na nakakakilala sa kanila, unfortunately, I don't know them.

Mukha namang wala silang pake sa titig na binibigay sakanila. If they can swoon the other female devils in here, then I'm sure they belong to the high-class family.

Tawang-tawa yung isa kahit nakanatiling passive lang ang pagmumukha ng kasama niya. Hindi ko maintindihan kung saan nanggagaling ang tawa niyang yan samantalang wala namang reaksyon yung isa.

I was taken aback when the other guy suddenly shifted his gaze at me. I gave him the same intensity he's giving me. And somehow,my gut tells me that I would appear as one of this stupid girls if I back away from the staring game.

"Jin what are you staring at?" tanong ng kasama niya kaya nauna siyang umiwas ng tingin.

"Wala. Tara na," aniya at namulsa habang papunta sa pinakalikod na upuan.

Ipinagsawalang bahala ko nalang ang nangyari. Those guys and the guy I met earlier, just what is their deal?

The teacher for our subject arrived not long after all the seats were occupied.

All students gaped at her beauty, no doubt, she's a first rank demon. Her long wavy hair bounces when she walks. She had big busts and a fit body.

You can probably picture out much from the description. She looked like those common teachers in anime.

"Goodmorning class," she says. Her long finger touch the rim of her glasses delicately as she had that stern look on her face. "As you all know we have a new student here," as predicted, everyone looked at me, "I guess you know her already so let's skip the introduction part."

"I'll make my explanation brief and simple," she says, "This class is especially made for 'us',  obviously.
Rules are: Once you find your mate, you must protect him or her at all cost. Once you fail, and your mate dies, then you die too. And your mate should be a human."

I was left confused all of a sudden. Out of instincts, I roughly stood up and slamed my palm on my table, "This is ridiculous! No one told me about this! And who would've thought of this stupid rule when in the first place, we don't follow rules?" I exclaimed.

Our teacher, who's name I still don't know, remained calm. Na para bang ilang beses na ito nangyari at inaasahan niya na ang reaksyon ko.

She sighed and crossed her arms, "Miss Lavigne, this is a school for demons and humans to coexist. It's only natural for phantoms to attack this place because we are here. Were maintaning a balance between both races, therefore we must establish a give and take relationship. If we want peace, we need to protect our lives and theirs too."

In a low voice I coldly said, "I didn't agree to any of this. They can die for all I care."

Pilit kong inaalis sa isip ko ang pangyayari kanina habang nakahiga sa sanga ng isang puno. Matapos kong sabihin yun, umalis ako sa lugar nayun.

They can call me stupid for doing so but I don't want any responsibilities. Sebastion put me here without my permission then he must get me out. Siguro pag narinig niya ang mga pinag-gagawa ko dito ay babalikan niya ako at kukunin.

So what if phantoms attacks us? It's their fault for involving us with humans, instead of building a school just for us. Phantoms are shadows created by rogue demons. They only yearn for destruction and nothing more, which in return will wage war against Paradise, the place for those white persons with wings. I don't even want to mention what they're called.

"No one's going to come back for you," a stranger's voice said.

Binuksan ko ang mata ko at masamang tinignan ang taong kararating lang.

It was one of the guys earlier. If I'm not mistaken his name was Jin.

"How do you know that?" Nakaupo na ako sa sanga at tinitignan siya mula sa ilalim.

He smiled,"Trust me, everyone thinks the same."

I rolled my eyes at him, "And you?" I asked.

He shrugged.

"Get lost," I plainly said. Nalukot ang pagmumukha ko ng tawanan niya lang ako.

"You're weird. Alam kong kakailanganin mo ang impormasyon tungkol sa paaralan. You can come to me anytime," saad niya habang paalis. Bago pa siya makalayo,tinaas niya ang kaliwa niyang kamay at patalikod na kumaway sa akin.

I ignored him and went back to rest. Who's the weird one here anyway? Tss.
