I looked around the spacious lobby of the school, the high ceiling and the chandeliers, it truly is an exquisite school, even though I've been studying here for 6 years, I still haven't gotten used to the elegance this school carries with it. The walls that are designed so precisely, to show how much money they spent just to show that this school is the best. Paintings made by artists whose names I can't even pronounce, the students always carries themselves with such confidence which most of the times turns to arrogance. I sighed, I shook my head to try and shake off my anxiety.

I walked the familiar halls, this will be my last year here, that just hit me hard. I'm going to make this year the most memorable one! As I was inserting the code on the touchscreen at the side of my locker, I felt a force pull me from behind, I squealed and used my elbow to hit the person from behind. " Ouch! Woman you're dangerous!" I heard the person behind say, I was ready to bolt but that voice sounded familiar. I turned around and saw that it was Landon. I hugged him and apologized, "I'm sorry, you know that I don't like surprises like that." I squeezed his cheeks and laughed at his expression. I love pinching his cheeks and seeing it turn red. He gripped at my hand, and saw the mark that my elbow made on his face. He rubbed it and winced, which made me wince too. I heard a loud voices booming on the usually quiet hallways, uh-oh this is not good, I looked at the source of the 'as loud as a siren head' voice. It was the other two, that makes up our group. Iris and Erina, they immediately hugged us and it doesn't even surprise me anymore, they do this every year. They would yell and tackle us to the ground, even though we just saw each other a few weeks ago, for our weekly picnic.

Even though they always do this annually, it still makes me smile. I laughed and pulled away from Iris' grip, I saw Landon do the same with Erina. Iris put her arm around my shoulder "So.... What's up with you guys?" She grinned. "Hey, Class F, can you do your stupid get together somewhere else, some people would like to get on with their life and get to class, but I knew you wouldn't get it, because you people don't have a life." I heard from behind us, it was one of those upper class. Marie Dominique Aimee Monet, the daughter of an international IT company, she's the cliche, acts privileged and stomps on those below her, but she's very smart and pretty. We already stepped aside, after all she was right, that part where we were blocking the way, the other part, we just got used to hearing these types of things, so it doesn't even matter.

"No, we're not going to move away, who gave you the right to say that we don't have a life, so let me tell you, yeah we do, we have a life.Maybe you're the one that doesn't when all you do is meddle on other people's business." I heard Iris say, that's what makes her, well her, her being sassy. She put a hand on her hip, and tilted her head as if challenging Marie. This happens all the time too, she's the kind of friend that would go to your ex boyfriends house to beat him up for making you cry. "You-" Marie stepped forward, ready to fight Iris while Iris went to her fighting stance and shouted at her. " Come at me! You wanna fight? Let's fight, just don't make me pay if I ruined your plastic nose." I was going to pull Iris away and run for it,the moment I heard Marie screech, that noise is her fighting noise, like an animal in the wild when their territory is being trespassed. I already went in front of Iris to protect her from the attack, I closed my eyes preparing for my hair to get pulled, but it never came. I opened one eye to look at Marie and saw that she was held back. I sighed in relief and looked at who came to save us from that vulture.

My heart started pumping so loud, I was scared other people can hear it. My eyes widen and my face flushed. It was Nikolaus. "Marie, you know better not to create a scene, especially concerning the Class F. You don't have to humiliate them more, their presence alone is already humiliating." I heard his voice, even his voice sounds perfect.But the words that come out of it is utterly disgusting, what a shame. He rolled his eyes and pulled her away, Marie was thumping her feet like a little kid, who wasn't able to convince her parents to buy her a toy. She looked back and glared at us, she used her index and middle finger to point at her eyes and then to us. Is that supposed to be threatening? We all laughed quietly, I sighed, it's the first day of school and we are already causing trouble. This is going to be an interesting year.
