Cursetine's pov
Another year of h*ll, yes this is my last year before I can finally leave this h*ll, I really don't know my why parents enrolled me here in the first place.
Calm down Tine, this is the last year and after that you'll be away from your bully.
I groaned as I get up, I still have no roomate for this year, that's odd but nevermind. I hurriedly took a nice warm bath before changing into my uniform which is a checkered purple, violet and black skirt and black blouse. I also wore my tie which has the same color as my skirt.
After that, I turn to my vanity to apply some powder and lip balm to keep my lips glossy for the whole day and I also tied my hair into a french braid and finally wearing my white knee socks and black 2 inch heels.
I sprayed my Victoria secret perfume on myself before grabbing my black sling bag and a few books for this school year and headed out the dorm.
I made sure to lock the door and shoved my keys into my baf as I skipped towards my friends' room, first stop is Sam's room. I knocked on the door trice and her roomate opened the door.
"Good morning Loraine" I greeted her.
"Oh, Tine, you're up early, Sam's still on the phone with her mom but she'll be out soon, I'll go ahead" Loraine walked past me while waving.
"Okay, good luck on your first day" I waved back to her.
"Yeah good luck to you too!" She smiled and walked away.
I lool inside the room to see Sam tying her hair while having a face time with her mom on her laptop, lucky for her, she's still able to talk to her mom unlike me, my parents are always busy.
"Oh hi Tine! Good morning, bye mom talk to you later, I gotta go now" she said, ah this girl, she's so hyper, no wonder she's the so-called sunshine in our group.
She finished tying up her hair before taking her cream colored bag and locked their dorm, next, we walked towards the other hallway to fetch the youngest on our group, Liz. We were about to knock when she suddenly opened the door, just in time.
Her eyes immediately brightened as she clapped her hands for us. "Good morning Tine! Sam!" She cheered and hugged us.
"Good morning Liz" we greeted back.
The three of us chatted while we made our way down the cafeteria of our building to have our breakfast, what I like about this school is that they have a seperate dormitory for the boys and us girls and on each building, we have our own library and cafeteria other than that, both genders still share the same classroom on the main building.
That is actually helpful because that kept me away from my bully, somehow.
"Are you gonna eat or what? Time is running Tine we're gonna be late" Sam caught my soul back to my body making me blink twice before finishing my meal.
"So I guess we still get to have the same class as those three bastards huh?" Liz commented helplessly that made me and Sam nod.
Well we can't totally avoid them, what we can do for now is to avoid them as much as we possibly could.
After having our breakfast, the three of us walked towards the main building, so far so good, what a morning we have did the sun rose on the West? Everything is almost perfect-
"Oh look who's back from Russia" see what I mean by 'almost'?
Sam frowned but immediately grinned at him, yeah its good to have her fight up for me and Liz, I mean the two of us can fight back too but we would usually stay silent to avoid adding more fuel to the fire.
"Ooh, now you're stalking me mr. Devarez?" She teased, Liz smirked while I remained emotionless while looking at them.
"In your dreams, I was on my dad's agency this summer and I accidentally tracked your current location" he sneered, yeah hacking and stuff, psh does he even know the word 'privacy'?
The two of them kept arguing not until Troy started to walk towards Liz, I backed away to avoid getting on his way, I really feel the heavy aura in the whole hallway, I felt my traumatic experience this summer came all back, Liz seemed to notice it that's why she pushed Troy away.
"Back off Troy" Liz was about to grab his collar when Sam held her down while glaring at him.
"Oh my! Is the brave ms. Belfour finally trembling now?" I glared at the person who said that.
"Wow, now you're glaring at me? You sure got the nerves" he added, Sam took me and Liz with her as we left the scene before the students could surround us again.
Once we reached the classroom, our former classmates greeted us as we greeted them back and we settled on our seats. After a couple of minutes, Death's group came and sat at the backend row on the classroom are sitting a row away from them.
I sighed and look out the window beside me until the teacher came and told us to introduce ourselves again since she is just new on this academy.
One by one of us stood up to introduce their selves until it reaches our row. Sam stood up to introduce herself "Good morning ms. Tan, good morning classmates, my name is Samantha Caina Morgan" she shortly said then Liz followed since the three of us are seatmates.
"Good morning ms. Tan, I'm Lizelle Quin Zamora" she shyly smiled at our new teacher then I stood up.
"Hi everyone, I'm Cursetine Aidoar Belfour" I said in a low voice but it was enough for ms. Tan to hear before I sat back down.
The other's followed as well until it reaches the back row where Ace and his friends are sitting. I didn't look back and kept my eyes on the window while listening to them.
"I'm Troy Chaos Archmenduke, pleasure to meet you ms. Tan" I heard him say, I sighed and tilted my head, I feel like having a stiff neck.
"Good morning ms. Tan allow me to introduce myself, my name is Icer Nicollo Devarez, please to meet you" tsk, acts like a gentleman but is actually the opposite of it.
"The pleasure is mine mr. Devarez" ms. Tan replied with a smile, what a playboy, even the teacher fell for his tricks.
"Death Jaxen Ace Salazar" he shortly said, I leaned against my chair, holding my laughter when disappointment marked ms. Tan's face after hearing him say that.
I mean she should at least expect it right? His face and aura says it all, upon all of us hear, he is the most dangerous person you'll ever meet, technically speaking base on my experience.
There's just 24 of us here inside the Star Section, 12 girls and 12 boys, the teaching standard of this Academy is so high and only a few of us manage to survive being on the top section up to this year, our last year.
We started from 36 students and now we're down to 24. Truth to be told, not everyone of us gets along very well by the way, everyone of us are always fighting for the top spot but only me and Ace manage to get the highest rank.
After her class which is Research, we proceed to the lab for our science class, as usual our teacher paired us for the whole year and to my 'luck' I ended up being paired with Icer.
At first, none of us spoke to each other but then I also didn't expect him to start the conversation with me.
"Okay, this is just for the grades so fxcking listen carefully on what I am saying, understood?" He scolded me and I had no other choice but to give him a nod, I don't feel like speaking to him.
He gave me the instructions and divided the topics on what we would research so we can finish it as soon as possible to get the highest score, he also asked for my phone number and I gave it to him, after that he immediately went back to his group without any consent or bidding a simple goodbye.
Like- the hell I care? It's not like we're close anyways. Icer is a smart guy, I admit that, I just don't know why he chose to be friends with someone like Ace and join the so called power organization of the school named 'Card Organization' or simply known by 'Core'.
I mean, Ace is snart too alright, but his attitude is far more complicated to deal with than his grades.
Lunch time came and everyone of us proceeded into the grand hall to eat. In the midst of having our meal, a group of girls suddenly squealed as if they won the lottery.
Sam groaned in annoyance while Liz grinned, I sighed thinking 'why did we even chose to eat here in the first place?' When the cafeteria door opened.
There stood the so called heartthrobes and sweethearts of the Academy, the rival group of Ace's group- the 6th Cards.
See? Even in the Core society, not everyone gets along very well.
Ace stood up with his group following his lead and the tension began to rose and the atmosphere got heavier as it spreads all over the hall, everything felt silent, no one dared to speak nor move, as if they'll die if they did.
Liz held my hand, just then I notice I was holding my breath back there.
"It's alright, it's not like their gonna fight here because there's a lot of people" she whispered to me and I nodded, trying to calm down, but argh! I really hate the pressure between them.
"Wow, what's this Ace?" Wendy asked with full sarcasm.
"Still suprise to see me this close ms. Cameron?" He sat on the table and smirked, so arrogant.
"Stop it Wendy" Drake- their Leader pulled her behind him, if I didn't have my trauma, I would have enjoyed myself watching these two wild groups insulting each other but I hate fighting scenes so I need to go.
I tried to stand up but the two held me down saying that I might get their attention and that would put me or rather us in great danger, good thing Loraine sprinted towards our table with my pills, Loraine is the one I entrusted with my medicines since I got nothing with these two.
"Geez guys, I told you not to eat here" she scolded us.
"It's the nearest place to eat before our next class" Sam explained and Lorain sighed.
I drank two pills and Loraine intentionally stood up and pulled me out that place, literally denying the scene in the middle of the hall.
When we stepped outside, I finally found the air I'm looking for. I thanked Loraine before she parted ways with us as we walked towards our next class even tho we still have an hour to spend before it starts.
"How about let's go to the library?" Liz suggested and we agreed.
We walked past our classroom and proceeded to our destination which is just at the end of the hallway.
I took a random book on the shelf, I can't find the two when we set foot here in the library, well we all have our favorite spot here and whenever we are here, we would seperate ways.
I sat next to the shelf where I found the book that caught my attention, my right eyebrow rose when I realized that it was a novel entitled 'Twilight' it sounds familiar tho.
I started to read it when something fell on one of the pages, it was a blue paper containing a message- more like a hand written letter that says:
'She's a beauty and I am the beast,
She is so beautiful and I felt at ease,
Just like this novel entitled Twilight,
I can't stop thinking about her til daylight'
I smiled and took out my pen, I made sure that no one was watching me before I wrote something below his poem.
'Nice poem, I hope you'll get her attention soon'
After that I folded the paper and inserted it back on the book and put my pen back on the pocket of my skirt, I also returned the book on its place before leaving that section.
When I reached the entrance of the library, I saw the two waiting for me.
"What's with the smile?" Liz asked, I shook my head.
"Nothing, come on let's head back to the classroom, class is about to start" I said and we exited the place.
The whole afternoon class was too boring, I just don't fell like listening because of what happened earlier, it was my time encountering a person like that.
On this modern day, writting letters is lame and a guy like that is so hard to find. I suddenly felt drained, I'm sure it wasn't because of my trauma because I already forgot about it when I read the poem, I wonder why.
After classes, Icer messaged me to meet him at the library after our dinner and I did reply a simple 'okay'. We all walked back to our main building for dinner, well our classes ends at 6 in the evening so that's not a problem because we are also hungry.
"Hey guys I heard Peirce will be back 2 weeks from now" Loraine suddenly said after taking a seat on our table.
"Who cares about the members of the core society?" Sam mumbled, obviously showing no interest on the topic.
"Duh, he's with his fiancé which will be Tine's roomate!" She cheered and I choke on my food, Liz immediately rubbed my back.
"Yeah I guess that's not something to celebrate about, what about Tine's trauma from getting hurt? What if his fiancé is as bad as him and beat her up?" Sam asked.
Yeah, I can sense that my life will be in great danger if she arrives, so should I get my funeral ready then?
"Well I heard she's the most kindest soul to have as a room mate, let's not judge her that easily okay?" Lorained frowned and we simple look at each other and shrugged.
After our dinner, I proceeded to the library, good thing Icer isn't there yet, for sure he'll scold me for being late. I sat next to the computer and start on our reasearch activity, I need to finish this as soon as possible because I really want to avoid their group.
"You should at least copy the statement, how are you the top of the class when you can't even do your work properly" there it is, his discrimination towards my peace not piece of work.
I sighed and copied the said statement. He also sat next to me to start working on his part, actually I'm really uncomfortable working beside him.
I tried to focus as much as I could and finished my work eventually in no time, I printed two copies of it and handed one to him, he simply nodded and printed his work as well and handed one copy to me.
"The 2nd statement is base on narrative form, just tell me is you're not contented with my work" I said and fixed my things, I was about to stand up when he spoke.
"Keep the details, it's fine, we still need to finish the concept illustration- you don't mind doing it on the art room tomorrow right?" He asked.
Now why is his voice so calm? I hesitated for a moment but nodded afterwards, it's for the grades afterall.
"Sure, I'll work with the illustration for now and we can talk about the final outcome tomorrow, if that's okay" I said while fiddling with my fingers.
"I don't mind at all" he answered and I nodded.
It was dark outside when I left the library, I checked the time on my phone to see that it's already 7:30, hurriedly walk towards our building while ruffling my things inside my bag to find my keys.
Once I got there, I entered the elevator and pressed my floor number before continuing the search for my keys.
When the elevator tinged, I finally got the hold of my keys, I walk over my dorm number and unlocked the door before pushing it open.
I took off my shoes before entering the room and shut the door behind me, locking it immediately to avoid disturbances or intruders.
I settled my things on my desk before walking up to my closet to get some pajamas and proceeded to the bathroom to have a quick shower, after I was done with my rountine inside the bathroom, I started working on the illustration of our research.
I was trying to draw a perfect circle but looks like architechture is too far related to my dream course and I end up wasting a whole bundle of bond papers.
I sometimes wonder, how the hell does those people manage to draw perfect lines and designs without using any drawing tools, are they somewhat aliens or what?
After a few more failing tries, I finally drew a perfect one, I look at the time, it's already a quarter before 11.
Time to do my homeworks then, I stayed up all night answering all of my homeworks and ended up sleeping 3 in the morning, and yet I just realize that classes starts at 7, ooh great that's 4 hours of sleep then.
I fixed my things in my bag so I won't forget it tomorrow- more like later, before standing up, I did a little stretching and walk towards the window.
From here I can see the boys' building and I saw a few active lights on different floor and rooms, looks like I'm not the only one who's sleeping this late, even us girls work hard to keep our grades high.
I sighed and head to bed, well at least I did catch some sleep on this first day.
