After a 45minutes drive, their car soon pulled up in front of the school. Engrossed in a hearty, witty chat, Gina and Hades lost track of their destination of which the driver horned them of their arrival. Hit with realization, they both turned to the window of which they instinctively gave a broad smile.
“ Oh, thanks, sir” Hades stated as he pressed the door open with Gina doing same.
“ Here, let me help you with those.... ” He offered and Gina passed over the books in her hands to him as she reached for some files and her bag from the seat.
With the car speeding off, Hades mused at the serenity of the campus just when he took attention of it.
“ Wow....” He expressed which drew Gina's attention.
“ Is everything alright? ” She asked as they both approached the halls.
“ Um....yeah..” He smiled “ Just admiring the serenity over here. Heard a lot about this place..... never imagined it with such spectacular environment and serenity. ”
His words spontaneously made Gina burst with a chuckle which made him giggle as well.
“ What.....?– why are you laughing? I'm just saying the truth here. ”
“ But I didn't say anything.... ” she laughed and they went on charting head on.”
A few walk down the busy hallway which was filled with students hurrying up and down the corridor, Gina suddenly made a halt in front of one of the offices lined up which brought Hades to a halt too.
“ Here, I guess you had to visit the principal's office. ”
she asked and he nodded.
“ Okay, go ahead......... this is the principal's office. She said pointing to the door in front of them as they made a halt.
“ I got a lesson in 30minutes– text when you're done here. Got to go now.....” She stated as she hurried off. “ Let's have lunch later.”
Gina howled in the distance and Hades nodded with a smile of which she smiled back and dash into the corridor leading to her class.
With her back faded in the distance, he exhaled sharply and gently tapped on the door. Composed he waited for response.
“ Come in....” A male voice called and he pressed it open as he walked in.
“ Good morning, Sir ” He greeted which brought the principal's attention to him.
“ Hades Edwards? ” He asked and Hades nodded skeptically, surprised.
“ Yeah, I can tell from the resemblance, you look exactly like your dad.”
He added and Hades smiled.
“ Thank you, Sir..... didn't know you knew my dad.”
Hades expressed and he laughed. With that, he directed him to one of the chairs in front of him and proceeded with his documentation.

With a kiss on his sister's cheeks, Leon got down and hurried off. “ Talk to you later in the day. ” He howled from a distance with a wave of which Miriam waved back and spontaneously drove off afterwards. Driving through the busy streets, Miriam kept track of her time – she was already behind time for her first lectures with which she was trying her possible best to avoid but the early morning traffic wouldn't make it possible.
After a 30minutes drive through the hectic traffic, her car finally pulled up in the parking lot. Quickly grabbing her things, she rushed off, taking the corridor which led to the lecture hall.
Taking a 2hours lesson after his admission Hades sauntered out of the theatre hall, exhausted and famished. Gina's thought was the first which hit him just when he drew out his phone.
With a few ring's, a voice answered.
“ Yeah, Hades here... mind if we have lunch now?.. I'm starving. ” He said and Gina chuckled.
“ Sure.... where are you now? I'll meet you up.”
“ In front of the theatre hall.”
“ Okay, will be there in a second. ”
Gina stated and the line went dead afterwards.
Just then, Miriam bumped into him which sent his books flying to the floor. She was so busily typing something on her phone that, she didn't notice him.
“ Hey... watch it!” Miriam shouted which spontaneously stunned him.
“ But you faulted... just a sorry will do.” He calmly explained of which Miriam wasn't just in the mood to dance to his tune. With a glare, she stormed past him.
Hades stared at her back, marvelled.
“ Such rudeness..... ” He lamented with a grumble.
“ Hey, are you... okay? – You seem to be talking to yourself. ” Gina who had walked in unannounced, called.
Turning to her, he smiled. “ Oh, nothing– shall we go now?” He asked and she nodded. With her guide, they headed to the school's café.
Getting a seat at the far end of the busy cafe; Hades and Gina settled down with their lunch. As they dived into their meal, Hades eyes spontaneously traveled across Gina's shoulder. Locked on something unknown to her.
“ What's wrong?... Is everything all rig....”
Gina queried, pausing on her meal as she turned to the direction his eyes were glued to. Noticing what it was, she scoffed and turned back to her meal.
“ Oh, I guess you're already met her – judging by the look on her face. ” she added and he absently nodded.
But then, Gina didn't say anymore. Her thought just wrapped off to her mother's sudden behavior the previous night.
With the sudden silence, Hades gaze went back on her.
“ Hey.... why that face? ” He asked not noticing her spacing out and a little grumpy.
“ We are only having lunch... you know? – not at a funeral or anything of the sort.”
He added which made her chuckle.
“ Yeah....right. ” She smiled diving back into her meal.
“ Anyway, who is she? ” Hades asked, pointing at Miriam who was now seated a few seats away from them.
“ Who....?– Miriam Parker? ”
“ Okay...I guess that's her name– is she always rude like that?
“ Why?...what happened? ”
“ She bumped into me a few minutes ago but just barked at me without apologizes – so rude. ” He explained and Gina just smiled.
“ Yeah... I think you're right. She's also a transfer student just like yourself but our meet wasn't so great – all rude and arrogant. ”
