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.
