Welcome to my high school life or should I say, high fucking school hell life.

"Uhm, Excuse me? Is this the line for S.T.E. Students?" I asked politely to the girl who was wearing a ribbon tie on her hair. 

"Opo! S.T.E. ka rin po ba, ate?" She looked in my direction and asked calmly. Her hair and her ribbon moved synchronized as she looked at me.

"What do you think?!" I suddenly smirked at her. Isn't it obvious? UGH!

"Ay! biEh! Tingnan mo, oh! Ang sungit, jusko! 'di ko kakayanin yung highschool kapag may ganyan tayong C.M!" She told to the small girl who was beside her. The E was capitalized because it has a different tone that she only can mention. 

"Is this your friend? So cute!" I asked the ribbon girl while looking at the girl who was beside her. She was so small! I cannot blame myself for my prejudice. 

Hmmm. Maybe I'll call her ribbon girl, now.

"Bieh! Sinabihan kang cute tapos ako hindi?" She laughed hardly.

"Is there anything funny about what I said, you ribbon girl? She's cute... looks like a minion, to be honest." I smirked again. 

"Okay! BiEh, final. Hindi ko na talaga kakayanin 'to. Palipat na tayo sa ibang section. Sampaguita or Waling-Waling, baka sakaling walang ganito." The Ribbon Girl said. She looks terrified with me, I guess?

"BiEh, fighting! Kakayanin iyan! Kung maarte 'yan mas maarte tayo, remember?" The minion replied to her as if she wasn't scared of me.

"I hate the atmosphere. So hot, so bitter, so tasteless" I whispered.

I didn't continue to ask them 'cause number 1 they irritated me, and last one I saw the bond paper '7- Avogadro S.T.E.' So, I think I'm in the safe place already. Plus, the biEh relationship of them! What kind of calling was that? UGH!

"Good Morning, Novaleños!" I heard a deep, matured, old voice coming from the stage.

"Good Morning, Dr.--" They stopped because they didn't know what was the name of the man who was there except the Grade 9 and the Seniors.

"I'm your principal, Dr. Louise. I'll say a short introduction before you'll go to your designated classroom. First, I want you all to have respect and discipline those two attitudes will bring you to the top..."

As our principal having his speech, I toured my eyes at the size of our court. It's bigger than my Elementary School, but this is not airconized. I can also see the big trees around that make the school greener. Somehow, I'm having fun with the environment.

"...And lastly, I want you all, Students and Teachers will have fun in our whole school year!" The Principal finished his closing statement.

I immediately heard a whistle that made me shock. I even touched my chest! Fuck it! 

"Good Morning, Avogadro of Nova high. Kindly follow me, please."

I can describe her by she aged and it was a kinda respected opinion for me. Also, I think she was dedicated to being a teacher. Hoping that she will be my Science or English teacher. Because I love those subjects!

"Again, Good Morning my S.T.E.," She said strangely. "Since this is your first day, may I know your name and your dream work. I'll start myself." She commanded us. I mean this was nothing new! I walked properly together with my 'classmates'. I didn't even try to talk nor communicate with them.

"I'm Mrs. Virginia. You can call me, VV. I actually love Science and Math from when I was young until now. I teach Grade 7 Students. I don't know what are my dislikes, my dream work is being a Science Teacher, look at me now! I'm an LPT! And also I'll be your Science and Adviser" .She said with a lot of fun and excitement.

"Now your turn, my students." She added.

"Good Morning Everyone! And to my beautiful adviser—"

Yuck! Beautiful? I mean why there's sarcasm? However, I don't literally care about the students around here. I will just need to waste my four years here and I will transfer to a new school immediately.

"...and to my adorable classmates. I'm Zophiya Mianne, y'all can call me Sophia so it can be easy for you all to pronounce. Since elementary I'm always the one who represents fashion competitions. I think I want to be a model someday." She sassily mentioned it to us. I can smell the plasticity behind that. 

And... oh! She wants to be a model huh? For me, it's not impossible because at her young age she's tall and pretty.

"Next please," my adviser replied to her statement.

Uh-oh! The ribbon girl was standing. Maybe she will be the next one?

"Ako nga pala si Aleimma Maezi, Emma for short. Salamat po." She was touching the ribbon on her hair while saying those. Is she not even interested in this kind of thing?

"Is that all, Ms. Emma?"

"Opo, ma'am. I have nothing to say aside I'm fascinated in reading papers that have a story within."

Okay! I am next. I planned this in the car actually. I don't care if they will like this I just want to have a memorable greet so they will remember me if I will transfer after my junior years. 

"Sawadee? Hi? Hola? My name is Natasha Shane De Verra."

What was that, self?! Seriously? Am I Trilingual now?! Fuck this.

"Y-you can call me whatever you want, okay lang naman sa akin. Natasha? Shane? That's fine. I don't care--" I stopped when someone interrupted me.

"So, Can I call you mine?" The boy said to me. He even repeatedly up and down his brows as if na madadaan ako niya riyan. If I have the chance, I'll kick his balls immediately. 

"Iwanttobeaflightattendantsomeday." I continued fastly, I rolled my eyes on him and I sat on my chair.

"Hey, Shane! Sorry." He laughed. Maybe he thought that he said was a joke only. That was so offensive, hello? UGH!

I faced him and raised my brow, "I'm freaking sorry boy, but if you'll ask me na we're going to be together, never as in never! Even the moon will become red." I ranted to him and I went back my sight in front. 

"Sungit naman, Shane. Enjoy lang. First year High School, oh!" He let out a laugh again.

"Proven and tested. She's scary." I heard the ribbon girl talked to the minion. I didn't mean to eavesdrop on them, sadyang malakas lang talaga yung bulong nila.

"See you tomorrow! And prepare for our pre-exam." My adviser mentioned to us and she was getting her school tools on the table. "Class dismissed." The last thing I heard from her before she disappeared from the classroom.

2 more subjects passed and it was already recess.

"Hi! Natasha!" A random girl called me. She has red glasses and fun fact, she was also my seatmate.

"Oh! Hi, dear! Ashley, right? I asked her.

"Yup! So, I'll talk to you in English or you can speak Taglish?" Ashley questioned me. "Kasi kanina, e. Paano 'yun ulit? Sawadeeck? Sawadi? Malay ko!" 

I chuckled because of her pronunciation of Sawadee. It is 'hello' in Thai. "I can do English, Tagalog, Spanish, French, Japanese, Thai. It's up to you." I replied and smiled. Hindi ko alam pero ang gaan ng pakiramdam ko sa kaniya.

"Wow! Kaya mong magsalita ng ganiyang mga words?" She said while wiping her glasses.

"Yeah! I just want to learn languages. Curiosity kills the cat, I guess." I fired back. I really need to study different languages because of my parents' business. We are always going from different countries, and we need to communicate aside from speaking in English, that's why.

"Oo nga pala, pwede ba kitang maging friends? kaibigan?" She replied nervously. Doesn't she know anyone in here?

"Top 3 favorite movies or series." I suddenly asked her and that question was very important. I used that to see if that person wants to be my friend had great taste.

"I actually not watching movies since games lang alam ko, pero u-uh, hindi ako na-informed na may interview palang may magaganap," She said, panicking.

"Faster! 10,9,--" I started to count down.

"Oo na, 'eto na! Pota! 'wag ka namang nang-wawarshock." She replied fastly, still thinking. 

"7,6--" I continued.

"Strangerthings, weightliftingfairy, thedevilwearsprada." She stated, and now she's running out of breath.

"Umabot ba? UMABOT BA?" She shouted while breathing. But the second time, she raised her voice as if she wants to know the answer.

"Uhmm, Yes! but your movies suck." I replied with choosyness. 

"Ha? anong it sucks?" She wondered of her answer.

"Pero okay na. Since you mentioned Stranger things, I can be your friend." I said with excitement and big smile plastered on my face.

R-really?! did I make friends with her?! Sabagay she's cool naman. I kinda like her na!

"Hey! do you have food ba?" She questioned to me.

"Y-yes. Ate Lita, prepared my foods. W-why?" I replied to her , confused

"Ah! okay. Yayain lang sana kita sa canteen." She replied

"Okay! Sure. It's not masikip ba there?" I asked to her because it is my first time to enter a public school's canteen.

"Hindi naman, sexy ka naman, eh." She mentioned while looking at the shape of my body. 

She mentioned na sexy ako?! Omg! I freaking love Ashley already! Internally screaming!

I brought my water bottle with me, so I can chill while walking. It was hot too! We walked in the S.T.E. corridor and I saw people there except the Grade 9 S.T.E Students because they were in the another room. They're early huh. Maybe they're my co-S.T.E too?

"Ashley! Who is that group of students there? Why they're seating in our corridor? Isn't it trespassing?" I questioned her, confused.

"Ah! Yes! Sila ata yung mga 8- Bohr." She answered to me.  "Grabe ka naman sa Trespassing, sis. Bakit?" She laughed. 

"Oh! nevermind." I just said to her and still looking at them strangely. 

Here is a fact on me: If I am drinking on my water, I will close my eyes 'cause I want to feel the pleasure and the flow inside me. Weird, right?

While the liquid is flowing inside of my throat, I felt a body of a guy who bumped my right arm, "What the fuck?!" I immediately cursed. A drop of water from my bottle was spilled on my school uniform!
