Introduction

Elyza Phin is a gang girl which supposedly is all about fighting and no romance, but she meets a fateful encounter and despite her stubbornness, she is one of the most popular girls in school. Since the incident with her father, she has always hated the male species and doesn't respect them as much as girls. However, she fell in love with one and that changed her.

Chapter Three

Love Triangle

"I-I don't know and I need to eat." Elyza continued, trying to avoid the previous topic.

"Then can I eat with you?"

"No. I'm eating with Emily." 

"The more the merrier right?"

"... Th-then bring Hayden along with you."

"WHAT? WHY? Do you actually like him?"

"No! It's just that you said more the merrier."

"Why is it always him. Why can't it be me?"

"Because I just met you today."

"So? You met Hayden today."

"Th-that's different."

"What's different."

"I-I don't know. Let's just go eat."

"Tch." Brendan annoyingly sounded. "Don't worry. I won't bother you anymore today." He walked away, irritated. 

Elyza's Mind
Wait a minute. DID I ACTUALLY WANT TO EAT WITH HAYDEN? What the heck is wrong with ME? He's a playboy and so is his friend. Why did I stutter? Why was I nervous. What in the world is wrong with me? And... Caesar? Brendan Caesar... Hmm. Sounds familiar. Meh. Who cares. I have to go eat with Emily.

Chapter Two

Fateful Encounter

'Ring! Ring! Tic! Tic! Have a break! It's Recess! Ring! Ring! Tic! Tic!'

Elyza’s Mind

Ah! Finally recess! Let’s see, what do I have today… I forgot what I packed…LOL.

In the middle of searching her bag, she vaguely heard sniffing. Elyza popped her head out her bag and started tip-toeing. She decided to eavesdrop because of her bad habit of being nosy. When she was near the scene, a girl suddenly appeared and rushed across Elyza and into the girls’ bathroom, with her hands covering her face.

Elyza’s Mind

What in the world…? I bet a boy broke her heart. Geez. This is why I really hate boys. Time to deal with this opposite gendered, friendly person.

Elyza walked up ahead just to see his charcoal brown hair sway in the wind while leaning against the wall. His gentle cyan eyes gazing to the depths of the sky through the marble framed window, acting as if nothing happened. Without warning, a powerful gush of wind blew and Elyza stormed in front of him.

“You! What did you do to that, that, that crying, innocent, young, poor, fragile, gentle-looking girl! Elyza firmly spoke with a stern, deeper than usual, voice. The boy shrugged and began talking,

“I guess her fragile heart finally broke.”

Elyza was shocked after hearing that. Finally? There was a long and awkward silence until the boy spoke again.

“Rejected.”

Elyza’s Mind

He is so…URGH! I feel like strangling that conceited and selfish, heartless male species! He really doesn’t understand that females are humans and have feelings too! ARGH! I’m so angry and frustrated.

“WHY-” She paused and cleared her throat and also to secretly calm herself down and act nice.

“Why don’t you give her a chance? You don’t even know the real her.” Elyza said in a fake voice that actually sounded like a monkey choking on a banana. The boy tried to find another topic to avoid that question and he saw Elyza's scarlet beanie with the gang's symbol.

“And why do you, from a gang, want to get involve in this matter of love?”

Elyza started thinking hard. So hard, it annoyed her. Her face showed obvious signs of annoyance as she continues to think harder. However, she forgot about the boy and didn’t notice that he was staring at her.

???’s Mind

Aww, she’s so cute when she’s annoyed. She’s definitely my type. Maybe I should hang around her for a while and get to know her better. And probably also to keep other boys away from her… except for my friends. I’m sure they won’t like her. Now. I think her name was Elyza Phil. She’s so cute with that face. I feel like pinching her cheeks!

He chuckles unknowingly and interrupted both of their thoughts. The boy realizes and tried to make an excuse when Elyza spoke up and said,

“What’s so funn-“

“I’m the school’s top popular boy, Hayden Tiq and you are probably the new girl… Elyza Phil?”

“Elyza Phin. Yeah… And I asked you what's so funn-?”

“It’s just that you look adorable when you are annoyed.”

Instantly, Elyza face dusted in a deep red.

"Yo-you, you,you..." Elyza stuttered with courage as she tried to hide her apple face.

'Ring! Ring! Tic! Tic! Time for classes again! You have three minutes or detention! Ring! Ring! Tic! Tic!'

“Well I’ll see you around, Ely.”

“D-don’t bet on it.” Elyza stutters.

Hayden giggled and walked to class in the opposite direction of where Elyza was heading.

Elyza’s Mind

THE HECK? SUPER ANNOYING! and SERIOUSLY? A nickname already? This guy… he’s no ordinary flirter like the other playboys I’ve dealt with. I have to watch out or I’ll fall into his trap. Keep my enemies closer, right? I’ll do that alright. I forgot about class! Damn it. I got too caught up with him. Okay. So… I have to go to English now... I forgot my recess. Wait. I shouldn't care or else I'm going to get detention. Time to run.

She ran across the hallway to English. As she approached the class just before three minutes, she saw Hayden walking towards her and yet again, gazing out the window.

Elyza's Mind

How did he...? Wizardry... Lots of wizards here. I need Emily to teach me more, in order to defend myself from... Evil. Well I have no time to deal with this. I need to enter the class before it's too late. Maybe I can ask Emily at lunch. What am I doing? I should be going to class. I'm definitely having detention now. Mom's not going to like it especially on my first day.

Hayden's Mind

I sense fragrance. It must be Elyza... Somehow she reminds me of her. Probably similar attitude and looks but maybe not. I suppose. I should go in now or I'll have 

detention. 

They both caught each other's attention. Elyza's piercing emerald eyes glared at Hayden while coercively forcing a natural grin. She struggled as she twitched uncontrollably. Hayden, as usual, realizes her silliness and smiled naturally as a response. Thereafter, they both went into class. Unfortunately, there was only a table left with two seats. 

Elyza unwillingly staggered across the room, struggling onto her seat. Alas, after what seems to be 15 seconds of striving, she sat next to Hayden.

Elyza's Mind

Tch.. Why do I have to sit next to him? He's so annoying and he applies way too much cologne. Though it smells really nice. I think it's buttermilk. WAIT. Why am I smelling him. I think I'm getting sick.

Without realizing, Elyza was awkwardly facing Hayden's neck. 

"You must like me now, right?" Hayden gave in an unnoticeable nudge to Elyza while looking at her.

"Wh-what?" As she realized the position she was in. Instantly, her face turned as bright as a red tomato. "Psh. What do you mean? I-I don't like you. I hate you. I-I hate you so bad that I don't know what I'd do." She quickly added on. Flustered. 

"Of course you don't." Hayden added in with a sarcastic voice. "So if I did this, it wouldn't affect you right?" 

"Wh-what are you going to do..?" Elyza replied being very self cautious now.

Hayden took out a pencil and started scribbling something on a scrappy old piece of paper torn out of his notebook. He passed the paper to Elyza.

Elyza Phil,

I like you. Will you become my girlfriend?  

As usual, her face turned red. "I-it's n-not Phil. It's Phin." Stuttering out of embarrassment. 

"You're so gullible and cute. You're too honest for your own good." Hayden chuckled at her.

"S-so? One day I will g-get back at you." 

"You're stuttering your words. Would that mean you do like me?"

"Heck no. In your dreams." She forcefully stopped herself from stuttering and responded with a stern voice. 

 He giggled again. "It's better when you're back to normal." Hayden gave her a heart warming grin.

"YOU TWO! STOP TALKING!" The teacher's disturbing voice sounded towards Elyza and Hayden.

And so, the day went back to those normal old, boring school days where nothing happens... until lunch. 

"I realized you and that guy were talking in front of me." A light blonde came towards Elyza.

"Yes..." Elyza said, trying to figure out who he was.

"I'm Brendan Caesar. If you didn't know."

"Oh. I see and what business do you have with me."

"I want you to be my girlfriend."

"Why would I do that?" 

"Because I like you and I don't want Hayden to snatch you away." Elyza blushed embarrassedly with annoyance. "What r-relationship do you have with Hayden." 

"I'm his best friend."

"Th-then won't you support him with who he l-likes." Elyza said as her face turned brighter. 

"I usually would but you're interesting so I'll become his love rival. I want you." 

Chapter One

A New School Life

Every morning I wake up to the torturous noise of my annoying alarm clock and so that began my "who -knows-what-will-happen" life. 



“Beep, beep!”

“Mmm…”

“Beep, beep!”

“Shut up! Oh wait, it’s 7:15a.m already. I can’t believe it’s morning.”

“Ugh… Guess that’s the cruel reality of life.”

“Beep, beep!”

“I am so annoyed right now.” She grunts while turning off her annoying alarm clock.

“Better get ready for the first day of school.”

After doing the morning daily routine, she grabbed her school bag and headed downstairs into the kitchen. She hastily took a piece of bread and forcefully stuffed it in her mouth.

“It’s not really the best breakfast, but it’ll have to do.” She said to no one in particular, chewing the mouthful. It tasted dull and plain. She hoped school would be a bit more interesting than the taste in her mouth.

“Goodbye to anyone who is currently still in this house sleeping.”

“Bitter silence, just as I thought—Mom’s definitely still sleeping. Oh well, I might as well go to school now.”

She strolled to her new school, Elluel High, the top school in the country, and also the most modernized high school where top students from other countries dwell about, as well as students from the richest families. People who are accepted into Elluel High are usually people who got scholarships because of their remarkably perfect results… or simply the fact that they are extremely rich.

Elyza's Mind

Unfortunately, I got good results in my final exam and my mom picked this school for me. I wish she didn’t do that, it’s just too… top-ish plus I heard there were lots of playboys… Hah, more fun for me. Beware of the gang girl! Cause I’m coming to deal with you immatures. Mwahahaha. I just really love my gang, I'm really proud of wearing this symbol on my hat. Sigh, just a few more meters before I reach the school. Ugh. But still, I can’t wait to punch some sense into those playboys. 

Thinking about what just happened, she walked to an even faster pace feeling evil. A few minutes later, she reached Elluel High. A dazzling crystallized building sparkled beneath the shining rays of sunlight. The windows all had marble frames, making the area seemed grand and royal. The cafeteria was piled up with French restaurant style tables and chairs that go exceedingly well with the black glistering walls under the shade of humongous trees. The roof was made of resin and you could see the sky scenery especially when it rains. The building painted in fine beige paint with double bricks as good insulator for the weather. Everything seemed grand and modern, a perfect high school.

“Well, here I am, the ultimate nerd school, Elluel High.”

“But, wow, this place sure does not look like a school. It has a candy store and a milkshake bar. What kind of high school has that?”

“And a see-through roof? Are you serious?”

“Oh wells, I want to check out the interior now. Besides, school is almost starting and I haven’t taken my schedule from the office.”

She paced to an even faster pace and headed to the office by following the humongous signs hanging around the ceiling.

“May I please get my schedule for the year?”

“Okay, what is your name?” The teacher asked with a British accent.

“Elyza Phin.”

“Alright, just a moment please.”

Elyza looked around and found another girl sitting on the bench reading an amazingly thick book. She somehow felt that the cover of the book was very familiar but she didn’t bother to remember. Bored Elyza went over to her and started a conversation.

“Hey.”

“… H-hey.” The girl replied.

“I’m new here and I really want to make friends.”

“O-oh, I’m Emily… Caesar.”

“I’m Elyza Phin.”

“Welcome to E-Elluel.”

“Thanks.” Elyza paused and began again. “So, can I hang around you sometime today?”

“S-sure. Why not.”

“So how about-” Elyza spoke, unfinished.

“I finally found it!” The lady in the office interrupted Elyza. “Here you go, Elyza. Enjoy your day.”

“Mmm, we’ll see about that. Bye Emily, it was nice meeting you.”

“…Bye.” As Emily continues off, drenched in the book.

Elyza checks her schedule.

“Maths. Isn’t that just so exciting.” She said with sarcasm.

The blue door that labelled ‘Maths- Ms. Luvation’ opened as she entered maths class just before the bell rang and there stood a brunette. She looked in her twenties and has a gentle but serious aura surrounding her. Everyone in class was sitting quietly as if the teacher was going to bite off their skull when someone talks.

“You must be the new girl.”

“I thought everyone was new.” Elyza replied.

“Well… not exactly, they were all here for the intro orientation and you with another student didn’t come.”

“Oh. That’s reassuring.”

“Elyza Phin, Is it?”

“The one and only.”

Miss Luvation turned to the class and started speaking in a loud manner.

“Class you have one new student today and she will now introduce herself.”

“I’m Elyza Phin. I’m turning 15 this year and is currently interested in helping ‘others’.”

“Alright. I hope you make her feel welcomed. Take a seat next to Emily, the blonde hair girl with blue eyes, Miss Phin.”

"Emily?"

"Yes Emily now go."

"Okay then."

Elyza's Mind 

How did she get here faster than me? I left after her and she was still reading her book. She might be a wizard. That's so cool! I should hang out with her more, maybe she'll teach me wizardry. I'm so excited now. Okay. Calm down. Phew. Just sit there act like nothing had happened. It's all good.

She sat next to Emily and class began like any normal class. They played an introduction game by memorizing people's names and games that help get to know one another. So it went on until Maths was over.

‘Ring! Ring! Tic! Tic! Switch Classes! You have five minutes or teacher will be sending you to detention! Ring! Ring! Tic! Tic!' The announcement sounded.

"Alright class time to go." Miss Luvation said.

"Thank you Miss Luvation." Everyone replied while standing up, getting ready to rush for the next class before five minutes.

Elyza's Mind

That was an interesting Maths class. I don't even know how that was related to Maths. Oh wells. Oh! I forgot to ask Emily about the hang out time. I should ask her now.

"Emily! Emily! Wait!" She shouted across the class. Emily turned back and silently stared at Elyza.

"Do you want to hang out at recess with me?" 

"O-oh... I have to help Mrs. Kay with the notice board." Emily replied nervously.

"Okay then. How about lunch?"

"Sure. That would be good."

"Then it's settled. Bye!"


They both went separate ways to attend different classes. With that, the time flew and it was finally recess.
