The car stopped outside the gate of a tall building. although it looks quite old, it still feel as if it won't fall for a lot more years. There is a vast open space on the right side of it and at the back of the tall building, you can see smaller buildings with the same old style architecture. When we entered the grounds it was silent since school days haven't started yet. You can still see a few people here and there, probably those who will enroll like me, those who guard the school or those who help maintain it.
We walked pass a hallway and entered a room which seems to be the principal's office.
"Good morning Principal Bryant." My mother greeted.
"Oh you must be Mrs. Barrons, and this should be your daughter Sorcha right?"
"Yes, right this is my daughter. Go greet her sorcha this is Mr. Bryant the principal of the school."
I bowed a little then said "Good morning principal Bryant. I am Sorcha Barrons. Nice to meet you sir." Then I stood straight out of habit back when I was a knight.
"Oh you're too polite." Replied Mr Bryant.
"Sorcha go outside and play for a bit. We're going to talk about your enrollment first." Mom told me.
"Yes, mom." Then bowed again to the principal.
When I went outside the room I saw uncle David guarding there. He is actually my father's friend in the military who had to retire early because of an injury. He is grateful to my dad for saving him and now chose to work as our family Butler. He already stayed with us for a lot of years and we treat him as a family member already. Don't underestimate uncle David, although he was injured, he is still strong and able to protect us.
"Uncle David I'm going to walk around for a bit." I smiled at him.
"Okay young miss, be sure not to go far." He said warmly.
As I was walking, I reached a garden that looks as if it is being carefully tended to everyday. There's a lot of bonsai plant on the front, and flowers at the back. I stayed there for quite a while and just when I was leaving,
"Hey!" Someone shouted. I turned around and saw a boy who looks the same age as me. Quite tall for our age and looks handsome. 'Neat hair, clean face, and clear eyes.' I mentally praised.
"Are you a new student here?" He asked.
"Mm" I replied.
"Great! Perhaps we would be classmates. My name's Luke William and I just enrolled here." Then extended his hand to me. I stared for a bit on his hand thinking what I should do with that and tries to extend my hand to him as well. He shaked it and smiled. "You haven't told me your name yet" he added.
"Uh, Sorcha. Sorcha Barrons." I said confused.
Then another man walked towards us. He looks older maybe around twenty. He quite have the same face as Luke but is more handsome and matured looking. He has clear black eyes with long eyelashes, Enticing red lips, Smart-looking chiseled jaw line, and exudes an aura of elegance. He swept a glace on me then turned to Luke.
"Luke we're going home." His calm voice reverberated.
"Yes brother." Luke replied. "Sorcha, nice meeting you. I'm going now."
"Okay." I stood there and stared blankly while they walk away.
'Why does it feel familiar.' I thought.
"Young miss, madam is looking for you." Uncle David shouted from the hallway.
'Nevermind. We're going home'
"Okay Uncle!" I shouted back.
A week passed since I enrolled in school, and today is the first day of class.
I stared at my reflection on the mirror. I tied my long hair on a ponytail, exposing my face. My features is about fifty percent of that in my past life. My face is small, just a bit bigger than the palm of a hand, eyebrows are slightly curved, eyes black with a shade of grey, straight nose, lips reddish like that of a rose bud.
I'm wearing a school uniform. White Long sleeve blouse and a red knee-cut skirt paired with black shoes.
There's no nervousness in my eyes, instead, there's a hint of anticipation in it.
Knock knock. "Sorcha, breakfast is ready" someone said outside the door.
"Mm, wait just a bit." I said, then took my bag and opened the door. There I saw my nanny who's been taking care of me since I was a baby.
"Good morning aunt Claire. Is mom and dad there?" I asked.
"Yes they're waiting for you." Aunt Claire replied, then looked at me and said, "Sorcha now has grown up to be such a beauty."
"Aunt Claire, you sound like dad." I laughed.
We reached the dining room where my mom and dad is sitting, patiently waiting for me.
"Good morning mom and dad." I greeted with a smile.
"Good morning baby." Dad said, and I sighed.
"Good morning Lil sorcha. Come let's eat." Mom beckoned.
After eating, my dad hurried off to his work and mom stayed in the house. "Sorcha, take care of yourself in school okay?" Mom said.
"Of course mom." I answered, then I left the house with uncle David.
Pioneer High School- carved on top of the Gate. The surrounding is bustling as the students enter the premises.
"Uncle I'm going inside." I said.
"Take care young miss. We'll wait for you after class."
"Mm thanks uncle." Then I smiled and entered the gate.
I went straight to my class room, then casually chose a seat beside the window.
"Sorcha, is that you?" Someone said. I turned my head and saw Luke by the door. He then approached and sat beside me.
"Mm. Morning Luke." I said lazily.
"Hey! I told you we'd be classmates!" He said enthusiastically.
"Good guess" I said.
"Ehm, I'm sorry for last time. I wanted to talk to you longer but my big brother wants to go home already."
"Oh." I blinked and remembered his brother from before. "It's fine. He seemed busy."
"Now that I saw you clearly you actually look pretty." He praised with his innocent eyes.
'This kid will grow up a player' I thought.
"Thank you." I nonchalantly replied. "The teacher is coming." I added hurriedly upon seeing a man about to enter the room.
The man who looked like in his twenties entered the room. He looked around and went in front of the class.
"Good morning everyone, I would be your class advisor from now on. My name is Ryan Darrington."
"So young!" Someone murmured.
"Handsome! I won't ever absent if the teacher is that handsome." A girl said. The teacher seemed to hear her. He looked at her and laughed. The girl, having been caught, blushed in shame.
"Snickers~ I'm more handsome." Luke said, and I laughed as well.
"You can call me Mr. Ryan." The teacher introduced himself. And the class started.
