Finding Stardust (Princess Of Akkadia)

Chapter 3 - School Trip To Paris??

Haoran realized that Emma had let go of his hand. He turned to the girl and narrowed his eyes.

"You don't want to pay for my services?" he asked in a cheerful voice. "Fine... I'll think of another type of payment."

Emma just rolled her eyes and walked away from the young man. She had already seen a sign pointing to the principal's office. Haoran walked behind Emma and didn't force her to hold hands with him. He seemed already very happy to just walk near her.

In his heart, Haoran decided to protect the beautiful Emma from bullies. Usually, new students, especially those with unique appearances, would be the target of such terrible actions by other students.

Fifty percent of students at St. Catherine consisted of foreign students; thus their physical appearances were quite diverse. Still, the girl had a look that differentiated her from everyone, she was like a magnet that attracted people's eyes.

Like Hong Kong, Singapore was one of the few countries in the world that had a population consisting of mixed races. It was a hot spot for international citizens, and St. Catherine was a popular school that had many international students. It could be seen how the students were of different nationalities.

However, none of the students of St. Catherine, had a face as beautiful as a fairy, skin as polished as a porcelain, long platinum hair that reminded one of flowing silver, and light blue eyes that shone like topaz, like Emma. From the first time he laid his eyes on her, ​​Haoran was fascinated.

He didn't expect, however, this beautiful girl to have a personality that was different from most girls he had met. She didn't talk much, but was strong and didn't hesitate to slam him on the ground, even though that was an accident. Also, she seemed to have a look of indifference plastered on her face most of the time. For a new student, the girl didn't look shy nor timid.

'All of these combined is like a formula for asking to be bullied,' Haoran thought as he glanced at Emma. He knew in St. Catherine High School, there were several groups of students who didn't like having their popularity taken over by newcomers like Emma.

"So, where are you from?" Haoran asked, a few meters away from the principal's door.

Emma stopped as she pointed at the office. She nodded at Haoran and said, "I've arrived. Thank you for walking me here."

She knocked on the door twice and went in, leaving Haoran outside.

Mr. Albert Young invited Emma to sit. The man, who was in his late 30s, examined Emma's documents and nodded. He called someone and told her to come to the office.

"Welcome to St. Catherine. You transferred in the middle of the school year, so you'll need some time to adjust," He said as he looked at the girl with a friendly expression on his face that immediately made her like him. The principal seemed to be a good person, unlike that evil witch, Ms. Mabel, who always looked at her with hatred.

"Thank you, Sir. I will study as best as I can." Emma bowed.

"I can see that your grades are excellent. I wish for you to keep up your achievements here."

The door knocked and a neatly dressed middle-aged woman entered. "Good morning, Mr. Young. Has my new student arrived?"

Mr. Young nodded and introduced the teenage girl. "Emma, ​​this is Mrs. Sharon Wen, she is going to be your homeroom teacher in Class 2A."

The girl got up and bowed. "Good morning, Ma'am. My name is Emma Stardust."

"Nice to meet you, Emma." Mrs. Wen smiled and shook hands with Emma. Mrs. Wen then turned to the principal and said, "I'll take it from here, Mr. Young. I'll have her measurements taken first before introducing her to class."
