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.
Mr. Ryan is actually a good teacher. He handles our History lessons which I found a bit weird because of his age, but nonetheless, he teaches really well.
"Although our country, Linbourne, is experiencing peace right now, all thanks to our government and military's efforts, war can still break out anytime." Ryan said. Then he sweeps his gaze towards his students and stopped for a few more seconds on a girl who looks at him seemingly interested on the topic he is discussing. Noticing her twinkling eyes that hints of craftiness, he thought to himself, 'What interesting fella.' Then continued with his lecture.
'Is father being busy related to that?' Sorcha thought. Feeling proud about her dad's work.
After a few hours passed, Mr. Ryan finally said "Class dismissed." And the class cheered after he left.
"Sigh~ don't you think history class is boring?" Luke by my side said.
"Hey it isn't boring if the handsome Mr. Ryan is the one teaching. Interjected by the girl beside him.
Luke internally rolled his eyes towards the girl. "You are not even listening to his lessons, only staring at him the whole time." He commented. Then the girl's ears turned red because of that.
"So what? Atleast I do not sleep like you!" She retorted.
"Hey hey! I'm not sleeping! My eyes are just resting for a while!"
I laughed hearing their discussion.
"Sorcha let's go eat something before going home! My treat." Luke told me.
"Let me join too!" The girl said. "My name is Rica Folkerson by the way!"
"Okay" I agreed.
"Hey you pay for your food yourself!" Luke complained.
"Stingy! Are you not a gentleman?" Rica said.
"Hmph next time will be your treat."
"Sure thing!" Then we all laughed.
They walked towards the cafeteria where they saw one of their classmates being bullied. Sorcha's eyes turned sharp because of that.
"You little wimp! Not even getting the things right! I told you to buy me a red bean bread but you bought chocolate! Tell me who's gonna eat that!" A guy said angrily making his bulky nose bigger than they normally should.
"But they no longer sell them." The poor guy timidly replied.
"Useless thing!" The guy then reached his hand to the guys face for a slap. But before it even touched the poor guys face, they heard someone shriek.
"Argh!! Let go of me!" The bully cried.
"I thought you're strong because of how you bully the weak." Sorcha's voice sounded.
"Dammit! Let go I said!" Sorcha then dropped his hand.
"Don't do this again." She said. The guy looked at her as if not satisfied yet but in the end turned around and left.
"Woah! Sorcha you're so cool!" Luke said with sparkling eyes.
"You should not allow others to bully you." She told the poor guy.
"Mm. Thank you." He replied weakly.
"What's your name?" Rica asked him.
"Edmund Nichols" he said shyly
"Oh hi Edmund! My name is Rica, this guy here is named Luke, and the girl who saved you just now is Sorcha!" Edmund blushed and looked at sorcha then hurriedly dropped his face again.
"Come join us to eat lunch! This Luke here is the one who's treating!" Rica said
Luke rolled his eyes then said. "Mmhm my treat!"
Edmund again raised his face and nodded.
After eating they went outside together and looked for their own service.
"Hey take my contact and give me yours too." Luke exclaimed and raised his communication watch.
After exchanging numbers, Sorcha saw uncle David waving at her.
"I'm going now." She said to her new friends.
"Okay we're leaving too. Take care!" Luke said.
My friend noticed that I interchanged Luke and Ryan's name. Hahaha fixed~
