Chapter II: The Game Part 1

The SA class is a special class which consists of only 17 students, all of them should at least have a GPA of 5 to be qualified. And to be included in the class itself, you must excel in at least one field of expertise. This is where they cultivate future great names in EHP 01.

It is a myth for many people but many still believe the planet was called earth and it was a paradise, unlike the world they live in, where society runs on status and strength. After education, they will be classified into human classes, Argus, Sordei, Marxium, Pheasdel which have their respective functions in society.

The Blue Bloods or the "Argus" (Arvant Gussei) are the ones on top of the food chain, they are allowed to be politicians, priests and are considered second to the supreme deity which controls most of the power of the world, and are looked up upon by all the citizens, in which they bow to them every time they pass by. They compose of 4% of the total population of EHP 01.

The Technicals or the "Sordei" (Sordis Ardeleum) are the best people of their field, they are the professional people that builds up the thinking society of EHP 01, they are Scientists, Engineers, Architects, Doctors and many other professions that consummates 18% of the population.

Marxium Orvealis or "Marxium" are the merchants of this world, they control the economy and how everything that is bought be segregated for consumption of the four classes based on their needs. They constitute 24% of the population and can sometimes be called the travelers.

And the last are the Pheasdel or the commoners, they are the people who works menial positions or the laborers. They are under all of the classes, and are not permitted to look at the faces of the Argus classes. And can sometimes be slaves to the higher class if you become heavily in debt. They are the remaining 54% of the population.

This is EHP 01 or the Etherium, once called earth now is an abomination, right Jaime? He nodded beside the closet looking at the guy in front of him. "I just wish all of us will finish as Argus or even Sordei, and if that happens I hope I get your respect, Older Brother." He looked sternly and then left the room.

It was a Monday, a very busy day of the week. He was looking through the window from the fourth floor of their campus.

"How boring." he sighed

He already finished all of his school works prior the first month of school. He is a very intelligent kid, already advanced in all aspects, and can already pass as a college student though he is only in 10th grade. Everything is just basic, he thought to himself. Just a boring, boring day.

"Ravie!!" a girl called his name,

"Ravie!! I need you Ravie!" she called trying to overwhelm her tears with a smile though in vain,

"Yes Marie?" He faced her with a smile.

"I can't believe my exams would fall on the same day as my practicals and its next week." She confessed with a sob.

"So, you want me to arrange the piece for you?" He answered sternly,

"Yeahh, sorry for bothering you, I mean... you have your own stuff and things to do and sorry for bothering you!" she bowed down in embarrassment as if she is about to cry.

Looking at her, he is totally melting with her troubled face, cute eyes, cheeks red in embarrassment, and skin as white as snow, in addition to her soft and calming voice.

"I didn't say I won't help you. It will be costly though." He smirked tapping her head,

"I will arrange your piece, but promise me to pass all your exams and treat me to lunch tomorrow." He replied with a smile as she slowly looks at him, a smile is now plastered all over her face replacing the blues she showed earlier.

"Do you mean It?!" she shrieked in excitement,

"Yeah, besides its pretty boring today so it's good to have something to do for a while. Meet me tomorrow in the cafeteria, I'll give you the arrangement so you can do the final editing and adjustments." He reassured her,

"Thank you Rav!!!!!!" She hugged him in excitement.

"Of course, I won't need adjustments to that. It's you who made it. And to say having it tomorrow is already a miracle! You are really my angel Ravie!" She buried her face in his chest.

*If only you mean that the way it should be* He thought to himself.

"Hey Marie? This is a bit embarrassing." He whispered to her ear,

"What? I am your best friend silly!" She exclaimed with a laugh,

"I should go now Ravie, Valle is waiting for me in the coffee shop. Thanks!!" She ran off with a burst of energy waving her hand before disappearing out of sight.

An unfamiliar hand tapped his shoulder and a very soft and almost unheard voice spoke, "I-uhm ahm Rr-rr-r-aaaahhh..."

Ravie turned his head to see a girl looking down with her face flushed and stuttering,

"Aizel? What is it?" she looked at him blushing even more,

"Mm-miss Simmons told me to finish our quarterly report in the student council. Do you have things to do? Tomorrow is the deadline, and uhh ahhmm it would be delightful if you could help me finish your report." She wandered and was shaking

"Oh is it tomorrow? My bad I already said yes to Marie so that leaves me of only one hour tomorrow.. hmmmm" he led a big sigh as he thought to himself,

"I-uhhh ahhhmmm! I can do it all for you! And uhh ahhmmm you-ahm could just give me your journal and ahh I'd finish it for you. If that is okay..".

He then lit up and smiled almost hugging her, but was stopped and just patted her head, "Are you sure? I mean that would be awesome but it would be kind'a big burden for you."

She looked the other way and replied "As long as its for you I-. Ahhhh! I didn't mean that way or that I like you nor Ahhh!" she tried her best to explain, shocked with herself for saying such things, Ravie then smiled at her

"Well thank you then, I'll meet you tomorrow at 9am, thank you Aizel."

She suddenly turned around and ran off smiling (*He knows my name).

"Hey Ramie-boy! Do you think she is a little strange? And, it's really a surprise you aren't afraid of her." Jamie asked while he put his arms on Ravie's shoulders,

He continued writing on his desk,

"I don't know if you boys are just ignorant or dense, maybe even daft." Britney the popular blonde commented shaking her head,

"Well I should start with Marie's piece, its due tomorrow too." He replied giving no attention to Britney,

"You really love her huh?" Jaime replied with a sigh,

"What?" Ravie asked,

"Nah nothi'n mate. Say wan'na stop by the coffee shop later?" Jaime added,

"Okay then after the first part." And after half an hour they left school.

At the coffee shop Marie met Valle with his friends in the basketball team, they sat on the longest table with Valle in the middle, in his form he looks like a king who sits with his subordinates. Marie slowly walked towards him,

"Hey, honeybabes." She whispered and she sat next to him,

"You're late, babes." He answered as he lifted her face through her chin,

"Were you crying???" he asked her. She looked the other way and tried to hide her tears,

"I-I'm okay, don't worry." She tried to smile looking sweetly at him. Valle was just silent, observing her and continued his conversation with his friends.

Jamie and Ravie were walking into the shop without notice of the group.

Robbie, Valle's friend faced him, "Next week is Junior Ball I think? What are you gonna do? It's our semifinals against the Falcons?" He looked serious though Valle took no notice,

Marie tried to smile and said; "I understand, Babes is goi'n through the time of his life!" She hugged him and gave him a cute look, he looked at her worried,

"Are you sure babes? I mean I can miss that game id you want."

She them pinched his cheeks "You need to focus in your futureeeeeee..." She smirked on him and pouted her lips making her even more cute.

On the other table only two spaces from them, Jaime and Ravie were sitting.

"It's almost Junior ball Bro, have you got any plans?" he asked while handing over Ravie's milkshake,

"What about it? I'm the student council president so I don't really have any plans yet." He answered sipping his shake,

"Are you sure? I mean I heard that Valle is having games that night, why don't you try to ask Marie out?" He blurted out while looking around for cute waitresses.

"I don't know Bro, I really don't know."

Valle on the other table overheard their conversations and suddenly stood up. Marie tried to stop him,

"I would have a heart to heart with your best friend." He said as he shoved her away,

he walked to the stall and stomped his table,

"Hey! What are you trying to plot with my Girlfriend? I let her stay friends with you and yet you still aim for her? You, ungrateful scum?!"

Ravie took no notice so Valle held him on his collar,

"What do you want?" Ravie muttered,

"Valle stop this!" Marie hugged him crying,

"It's not my fault you are an asshole." Ravie added,

Valle punched him on the face and pulled him by the collar again,

"You think you're a tough guy? Huh? Come at me looser, beat me at basketball and you can have her right here right now. But, if you loose against me. I'll beat the shit out of this blonde monkey over here." Valle's friends held Jaime down by the table.

"And if I say no?" Ravie answered,

"If you say no, I will take Marie to another country with or without her permission." He added dropping Ravie to the floor,

"He won't back down you coward! Ugh!" Jaime said as they punch his face,

Marie ran and hugged Ravie, "Valle don't do this please I beg you!" she exclaimed crying, Valle looked the other way

"I respected you Marie, I held back from taking your honor. Something that is mine! And you still insist on doing this? Shame on you!" He then walked with his friends out of the coffee shop.
