CHAPTER 1: THE ENCOUNTER

2 HOURS LATER:

I cannot believe this. I’m gonna’ be transferred into a school full of loaded-egotistical kids. What is my mom thinking? I cannot believe that this is what my punishment would be. It’s so.. so.. nerve-racking. What about Maggie? She’s my only friend. We practically grew up together since we met. She also has a terrific sense of humor. She knows me too well and I know her too. She’s my soul-sister. Furthermore I have somehow-in a weird way liked Lilian High. Wow! This is really peculiar. What am I saying? Liking something? Where have I acquired such great school spirit and when did I ever apprise Lilian? It seems as if I can fully appreciate something only if it would be threatened to fade away.

Not that I have something against the Brookwell, it is in fact one of the most prestigious schools. The problem actually lies because of the students. The ones studying in there seems to be really competitive and I hate that. Some of them we’re quite proud of it too. I guess it is because they pass and all. Well, it seems worth rubbing it off In front of other students cause’ one can’t enter in there that easily. First, you need to pass an IQ test, then you must have some talent-so that their school would be full of talented kids and be known more than ever- Ohh, that’s right, before I can enroll in Brookwell, I first need to pass an entrance test. I can just fail the IQ test in purpose. Then, the interview, nah! I can just say horrible things to the interviewer. So, that would be 75% assurance of failure to enter that school. Great!

Now I have a preparation. Good. Things are quite becoming fine. I have felt a little bizarre a while ago, but I know I can handle it. Things are always turning up once I sift it through. I may not be a girl with super inhuman intellect, but I was pretty smart. I know because Maggie told me and I notice too.

Now that everything Is at hand, I walk through the usual place where I meet Darin. We sometimes hang around there if our brilliant criminal mastermind-minds don’t have anything to do. We just idle around and unwind until something comes up. Besides Maggie, Darin is my second friend, but he was like the total opposite of her. While Maggie is known to behave well, Darin like me is always known for trouble. We like breaking things; we are both good swimmers, lacrosse players and other things. In fact we had so much in common that I sometimes think that he might be the guy version of me or it might be the other way around. Good ol’ Darin, I wonder where he is right now.

I walk for what seems like hours, the pavements are dusty and my feet began to throb. It’s getting a little late, after all the things we did together this morning, I feel quite fatigue. So, I sat down to the nearest bench available and try to wonder around. For a moment I feel calm and collected and peaceful, but, suddenly loud cracking noises seemed too gush out. So much for relaxation. Whoever is in there would be so badly dead. I would break their faces beyond repair.

Numbly, I turn my steps towards the dreadful noise. Oh! They better be prepared. As I’m making my way through it I’ve seen a guy being beaten up by boys who seems to be studying at Brookwell. Damn. I have just solve my Brookwell dilemma and here it is again, reappearing. Now, I’m really mad. No. Not mad. More like furious. No. It was more like I’m irritated. Don’t forget angry. Yes.

Without thinking twice, I jump in the scene. I don’t know why, but it seems as if I’m a hero saving a guy whom I don’t even know. I’m not like that. Never in a million years would I help someone, well, it would change if I’m going to be benefited. But, in this situation, I was more like doing it for myself.

They seemed not to notice me because Brookwell guy1 plans to leave a kick in the beaten up dude. He is so slow, just like any other guy I have faced off. So, it was too effortless for me to block it with my wrist. As I did that, he seemed perplexed. He smiled gruesomely and talked. “My my my, a lovely lady such as yourself shouldn’t try to do that dangerous thing.” He looked at me from head to toe. “Oh! You’re from Lilian High.” He looked astonished with a mixture of slight on tenterhooks face as if he just caught one nasty big fish. “Well, what do we have here? Girls form you’re school are quite hard to get… after we finish this maybe we can play later..” Now, he did it. It totally pissed me off.

I smack him in the head with all my strength, and as I have expected he was puny. Pathetic. He beats up someone so that he would feel superior.

Brookwell guy2 have been so shocked. I don’t know what kind of face is he pulling off right now, but I think he was scared. Well, who wouldn’t be? He just saw his companion bleed. Brookwell guy, it seems as if he bruise up like an apple. I must have hit him a little too hard in the face. Now, his nose was bleeding. That just serves em’ right. They just blew up my moment of relaxation and nobody in their right mind would do that if they know me.

Brookwell guy2 attempts to hit me as a vengeance to his partner’s broken nose. Well, thing is, he wasn’t any better than his partner. So I easily diverted it. He struggled to regain his posture, but I was so desperate to finish this off. So, I kicked him in the stomach hard enough that he makes an awful growling sound like a puppy that has been kicked by someone. Well, that was easy. I didn’t even have a single drop of sweat.

The beaten up guy, looks at me like a hero. His face is quite distorted he has blood rushing down his temple. You can’t even recognize his face anymore. Under his eyes was a giant purple mark. It’s swelling, and by his posture, I think that he has some broken bone or something. He tried to speak, but no words come out. Instead, a gush of blood poured out of his mouth that like his eyes is swelling up really badly. He tried to stand but was completely incapable. I feel pity for him. I wonder what he did to deserve this.

“Thaaan-kk you.” He managed to say. With his condition, it must have taken a lot of effort. I don’t feel like I deserve his ‘Thaaan-kk you’ since I did it for myself.

“No need to say thanks. I only did it because they are making too much noise.” I say, and he seem not to mind.

Plak Plak Plak. I turn to see who clapped, and there sitting in what I think is his comfortable sitting position, was a guy. I could tell from the uniform that the guy studies in Brookwell too. He was the type of guy a normal girl in our school would say hot. Way hot I think is the most proper word. He has a wide shoulder, the sort that shows some strength, unlike these pathetic losers. He has a dark hair it is luminous, and it glimmer even more as the sun’s rays touch it. He has such striking green-eyes that if you look at it is as if you are looking at a very ominous ocean. No. His eyes were ominous, but it was far more than that. I can’t really explain the color. I could just describe it as breath taking. If I could describe him from head to toe, I think that the best comparison would be a Greek god. Yes, he has beauty like a greek-god sort of way.

“Wow! Tough fight for a girl”. He said. His voice was beautiful too. Dang. I got’ta stop thinking like this. And since when did I ever compliment about looks? I guess since Maggie and I spent so much time together, some of his traits have been rubbed off on me. Seriously, I need more guy friends.

The beaten up guy looked at him in utter disbelief. A fan? Well, maybe he’s a movie star or something of sorts. So, I just say “You, been watching that?”. He nodded in approval. “Great. So now that the show is over I think you better take you’re fan out in the hospital before he collapses here.” He showed a questioning look but erased it for what seemed like a nanosecond. He replaced that look with a wicked smile. It is as if he would try to do something inhuman. Well, not that I care, but still.

I notice that the sun was setting giving the sky beautiful colors. He strides to get near me and then suddenly.. Out of the blue.. The unexpected happened.. He KISSES me. I was shell-shocked. My body is frozen and it was as if I couldn’t do anything or is it more appropriate to say that I DON’T want to do anything? Then, the sky becomes totally black like the color of his hair, and as if on cue, I’ve been freed up from the spell that locked me with this GUY.

Finally, I’ve finished the first chapter.

I don’t know if it reach your expectations..

But, still…
