Chapter 9 - First Meeting

A classroom filled with noisy chatters of other classmates. At this time Mr. Blake gave us a self study session since he was busy in the faculty. The wind is fresh, not too warm but still a little bit cold. It's pretty boring right now and I'm too lazy to study since there is nothing worth to study about.

I gaze upon the window beside me, staring at the trees and birds outside. I let out a yawn, feeling drowsy in this time of day. I decided to lay my head on the desk to take a short nap, thinking maybe someone will wake me up when the class ends.

Lucas's POV :

"I'm off now mom, dad!." I said loudly before heading out the house.

"Take care!" Mom replied.

"Goodluck on your first day, Lucas!" Dad replied after.

"Okay!." I replied back as I now got out of the house.

I let out a yawn, as the driver opened up the car door for me. I got in the car tossing my bag in my side.

"Young Master, what time will I come get you after class today." Our driver asked taking glances at me theough the front mirror.

"I'll just send you a message." I replied looking out the car window.

"Understood."

Highschool year huh. I bet it'll be the same boring school year just like in middle school. Eli and Zack seems a bit enthusiastic about it though and Seb is.. Just Seb.

Ting.

[ (Idk) Eli : u guys aren't here yet?]

[ (idk) Zack : Why are you so early?]

[ (idk) Eli : I was a bit excited, lol hehe.]

[ (idk) Sebastian : Good Morning.]

[ (idk) Lucas : Sup. I'm otw]

[ (idk) Eli : Drive faster lol.]

[ (idk) Lucas : You want me to die?.]

[ (idk) Zack : Lolololololol lmao.]

I smiled. Seriously what a troublesome girl she is. All the years we've been through together as friends yet it still makes me wonder how on earth is it that her and Seb are cousins. They are totally opposites of eachother.

After a few minutes of the car ride I finally arrived at the Academy.

"Lucian Ètoille Academy."

Just glamorous as it seems in the picture. Dad really wanted me to attend here even on middle school but I was honestly against that idea because neither of my friends were there so I declined. I heard this prestigious school has students with either born geniuses or gold and diamond spoon fed students. Dad also attended here back on his highschool years and that's where he met mom apparently. How cliche.

I walked out of the car and walks inside the main building. Even a giant could be lost in this ridiculously massive hallways.As I looked around I spotted both Seb and Eli.

"What's up." I greet them.

"What took you so long." Eli says, smacking my back.

"Slept in too long. My insomnia has been worse these days." I yawned.

"How about you try sleeping pills? though I wouldn't really recommend it taking every night." Seb asked.

"Nah, no thanks." I shook my head.

"Yo!" Zack comes in.

"I thought you were running late." I asked.

"I was but my old fart keeps breathing by my neck saying I should be graceful and well mannered as you know." He sighs.

Ding Dong. Ding Dong.

"Attention. Attention. Good Morning dear students of Lucian Étoille Academy. The entrance ceremony will now begin shortly. Please proceed to the Auditorium immediately. Thank you."

"Looks like you're just about time Zack." Eli whistled.

"Ah right. You're gonna have a speech during the entrance ceremony right? as the top student who aced at the entrance exam." I asked to Seb.

"Yeah. I already memorized my speech, and did a bit of a practice earlier which is why I was a bit early than usual." Seb adds.

"So that's why Eli was also early." I said.

"Yeah."

"Whoa! Lucian never disappoints huh?!" Eli shouts in amazement.

"Wow an air-conditioned auditorium even our old school didn't have much fund than Lucian, they really live up to their name." Zack said as he looks around.

He looks very pleased. I mean this guy was this close to flipping off every minute due to the heat in the summer every sports time.

"Looks like it's about to start." I spoke looking at the students lining up at their spot.

"9-A please form a line here." A school staff spoke to us and guiding us towards our spot.

"I'm starting to get hungry lol." Eli said sneakily taking a bite of her chocolate hidden in her skirt's pockets.

"Good Morning my dear students. Welcome to Lucian Étoille Academy. You have no idea how delighted I am to see you guys here."

That guy. He's the head right? I saw him talking to my dad during enrollment. He's quite an annoying flatterer.

.

It's getting really boring now. The head has been talking to that mic over half an hour now and most of all he's been spouting nonsense that doesn't connect to the entrance ceremony.

"The heck, It's almost lunch now yet that guy is still not done with his speech." Eli whispered her complains.

"So now I will not held you guys back any further and we'll now proceed with the welcoming speech of the freshman student representative who aced the entrance exam. Please come on stage. Sebastian Nikolayev."

It's Seb's turn to say his speech huh. As always that guy is totally amazing at how he manages his time in studies.

"Good morning everyone. Honored guests, Respective teachers and fellow students. Today we embark on a new journey of our goals and quest in life....."

I looked at my back to look for Zack but as I was looking for him my eyes landed at another student.

A platinum blonde straight hair, grey upturned eyes. He was lining just infront of Zack and Eli's back. He had long lashes that were also blond. A beauty mark under his eyes. He has the same height of Eli and slightly shorter than Zack.

I couldn't help but subconsciously take glances at him. It was like if he were a girl he would've been the prettiest girl I've ever seen.

I quickly looked away the moment our eyes met. Was it obvious I was looking too much? My ears are hot..

"I look forward on our journey together. Thank you."

Applause.

Huh.? His speech ended already. I'm sorry Seb. I wasn't paying attention on your speech.

"Now on behalf of the great founder of this academy, teaching staff, personnels. I welcome you all to Lucian Étoille Academy!."

Applause.
