The Life After: High school

3rd person POV

Half a year has passed ever since and Grace Field kids are all trying to fit back into the school's system. Emma's  trying to remember things and everyone's constantly talking about the life they've had before escaping to the human world. It was, with no doubt, a very difficult thing to accept. However, they're gradually and slowly going somewhere. Their relationship with each other were growing steadily, especially among the four eldest of Grace Field House. Emma's cheerfulness and radiant behavior can't be concealed by something as low as a memory-loss. Everything seemed to bounce back to how it used to be. Pea They have been fully attending all of the courses for quite a while now, enough to blend in with their classmates, even to the point of making names amongst themselves. Ray, Emma, Norman and ________ would be called the prodigies of the first years, well second years now that they've just finished their long-awaited term-break. All the studies they've done to survive in Grace Field is giving the quadruple a lot of head start academically. Now, ________ wasn't someone who was in the same caliber as the other three, however the things they're learning currently was nothing in comparison to the difficult questions Mom used to give. Norman and Ray are considered as an attractive duo, their fame shot up inconsiderably the moment they started to actually go to school almost half a year ago. Wherever they went, heads would turn towards the pair. Their intelligent reputation placed them even higher up on the pedestal. Norman is the benevolent charming prince-an all-time sweetheart with an amiable demeanor, meanwhile Ray is the dark knight- mysteriously cool and collected. They might be polar opposites when it comes to socializing, but that does not mean people favor them any less. Rumors stirred around that Norman and Ray are deemed to be the perfect student council president and vice president candidate for this year. Both of them seemed to be doing extraordinarily well, hence that leaves Emma and ________ from the discussion. Whatever happened to both of the girls? Well, it seems like Ray and Norman are not the only ones being granted elaborate titles, Emma currently holds the prestige of being the sun of the school. She's been juggling a lot of clubs in her hands, athletic, volleyball, basketball.... You name it, she's in it. Not stopping there, being Emma, she never fails to put up a radiant front, smiling and sending everyone positive everlasting energy everywhere she goes. Now, that leaves the last personnel from the other three, _______. She is well-known as the angel of the four. She's the sweet girl who willingly helps anyone, even if it means tackling multiple jobs at once. She has the gentleness of an older sister and also a beauty to behold. At this point, our four dearest main characters are just trying to survive a new kind of challenge, high school. Although this seems a little more harmless, no life-or-death matter, it does not make it all the more easy at all.

*1st Person POV*

"________, thanks for the help, I thought I was not going to be able to finish this today! I promise I'll buy you lunch today." A classmate of mine, Gracie, grinned at the sight of a well-finished banner propped on the table. 

"No problem." I smiled at her. "Although, I have to say, you must inform the other club members in the future if you're struggling with a particular work." I pointed out while setting aside the textbooks from the classes earlier. 

"I'll be sure to do it next time, though, their hands were already full with all the preparations for the upcoming festival." She sheepishly played with her hair. 

"So should we go for lunch, I'll let you choose anything!" She beamed. 

"Uhm, I brought my lunch today, so I'll skip on that. You don't really have to do anything in return. I'm glad I could be of help." I lifted my lunch bag apologetically. 

"Ah, then-then I'll think of something else, don't you worry!" She chuckled before returning to her friends not too far away. 

I stretched in my seat for a little before looking around the class. It was as lively as ever, students chatting and laughing within each other in small groups, others were going in and out of the classroom. Everything seems so peaceful and no one's going to get eaten anymore.
