The Gifted

Chapter One

LESLIE

"Congratulations! Your permission to study in this university has been granted!" 

I screamed inside my room because I passed my examination for my favorite school. I wanted to study in Wildstone University because it has good quality education, good teachers, and good supplemental. 

I quickly ran to my mom downstairs to tell this good news. 

"Mom, I passed! Mom, I passed" I shouted and jumped with joy while hugging my mom. My mom didn't get the chance to make a response as I'm busy mingling with her. 

"What's with the noise, my daughter?" asked my dad while hearing his footsteps going down.

"Your daughter passed the examination!" my mother already exclaimed. My dad ran to me and hugged me. 

We always have the same expression with some things. Like father, like daughter I guess. 

We sat down on our dining chair and mom prepared for our breakfast. I can see my dad reading his daily newspaper while sipping his hot coffee. I got up and asked for permission to go to my room. 

I went up. I opened my laptop once again to make sure I really got the test.

Congratulations! Your permission to study in this university has been granted!

Yes! I cannot wait to finish my last 3 years of high school in this university. I bet it will be exciting!

1 week after...

Monday morning, I got here at the university by 6:00. Every Monday, the university holds a ceremony in commemoration of our school. I went an hour early because I need to find my classroom first. 

As I look for every room. I accidentally bumped someone. I looked up. I saw a tall student with deep eyes and an emotionless face. 

"I'm so sorry..." I apologized. 

Honestly, his face is my style. I like him, no kidding. 

"Do you know where room 312 is? I think the numbering in this building is odd." 

A minute passed. He just stared at my face. I felt conscious. Am I wrong? Did I do something in-appropriate? Or maybe I didn't introduce myself? 

"Follow me" weird. 

He started walking but I just stood and looked at him. He noticed that I'm just staring at him. 

"I said, follow me. I will lead you to your room. This hallway has odd numbers." I already noticed that. 

I just followed him and went to the other hallway. I must say that his back is good. I'm starting to adore him. 

He is tall, handsome, has a fair skin, and mostly, he looks cold. That's what I like! 

He stopped and I bumped into him. His back is sturdy. It almost hurts my forehead. He turned around and looked at my face. He grabbed my hand and removed it. He touched my forehead, meticulously looking at me. I just stared at him. He is so handsome that his face is glowing. 

After some time. He left me dumbfounded. Wait, what? Is this my room? 

I looked inside and found some students. 

"Is this the class 10/1?" I asked the guy near me, near  the door. 

"Yes, sissy!" he exclaimed. Oh! So he's a she? 

I go inside. I look for a place where I can sit. Their table's capacity is good for 2 students. Where should I sit?

"Hey! Come and sit with me!" exclaimed the guy earlier. 

I willingly went to him. 

"You're a new student, right?" I just nod. 

"How did you know?" I asked.

"Duh. You're the only one here I don't know." I just nodded again. 

"By the way, you can call me Mikee." his name is cute. I adore him. He looks so manly outside yet girly on the inside.

"I'm Leslie. I'm happy because this is my favorite school and I didn't expect that I would pass here" I bragged. But he raised his finger and swayed saying 'no'.  

"Why?" I asked. 

He didn't answer me. Why? what's wrong in this university?

"Anyway, I've been in section 1 since I'm in grade 8. I hope I will get to be in the gifted class this 2nd quarter."

Gifted class? what is that?
