'Emerald Saint's High' - a collage where practical activities are given more importance then academic. And this is the new year that is taking place in here with new faces,new talents,and new hopes.
And there is 'Tabo Hill' a city rich in natural resources in the borderline of united fist. United fist is a country where a lot of big states are brought together under one flag. Anyways, in tabo hill lives a family named milan. And this year a member of milan family is going to sanits high. Jane milan got a scholarship through her excellent merit in academic performance. Though her academic performance are excellent but not her social performance. She lives with her two parents and a middle sister and a younger brother. Her sister milim 3 years younger then her and her brother zain 16 years younger then her. She is the only one moving to a different city. First time in a journey where she will be all by herself. Everyone is so excited and nervous too. Her mother is a house wife name rose, her father Spencer is the only meal ticket in their family. With three children and his wife this home is like a little paradise for them. But it's time for the little bird to leave it's nest and tackle a lot of unknown challenges.
_"have you packed thePickles?" rose asked.
_"Yes mom,don't get stressed now calm down" jane said to to calm down everyone.
_"you are so lucky leaving before me to live alone all by yourself" her sister milim said it with a complaining tone. Though she was trying to sound like she was complaining but in actual she was just concerned that now she will feel lonely sleeping alone and having the room all by herself. And jane knew it.
_"well don't think im leaving like i won't come back. The rook is still half mine"
Hearing this milim rolled her eyes"yeah".
After packing up jane milan left her little peaceful paradise for a noisy city with a lot of excitement. Little did she knew that her life was about to change in a dramatic way.
First day in saints high jane was trying to get excited but her introvert mind won't let go the nervousness.
_"don't get too nervous, it's also my forst day but i'm not sweating like you" it was milie's voice that brought back jane from her inner world. She was a cousin of janes old friend from tabohill. She used to visit there quite sometimes so jane also knew her and they were friends too. Milie is originally from emerald. Her father is a decent businessmen who owns a second house near the 'emerald saints high", so milie was sharing the house with jane and thus jane got a rent free good stay for throughout her collage days.
_"That's because it's your hometown and you already have friends here from your high school"
_"well i was thinking about inteoducing you to them. This way you can also be friends with them and we all can hang out together".
_" I'm not sure.i mean what if i can't fit in. And what if they are not willing to welcome a newcomer?"
_"we will se about that,and im always here to help you out so don't worry"
With that decided they went to meet their friends.
_"hey guys, is everyone here?"
Milie asked the group gathered in the canteen.
_"yes just sohu isn't here yet. His father was going back today so he went to see him off" said sereon one of milies old friend
_"he is on his way here" kinitj had a massage from sohhu so she let everyone know "by the way, did rauf taged along with sohu?" rauf is kinitj's bestfriend from childhood and they have a close bond with eachother.kinitj knows rauf more then anyone else and she also knows this most unlikely of rauf but becoase he were nowhere to see so she made a sarcasm saying he went to see of sohus father. In response of kinitj's question sereon said
_"if you don't know where rauf is, then how would we know?"
Then Andrew one of the most recent friend of the group spoke
_"i don't think he went to see of sohu's father, he is probably out there somewhere dealing with some girls".
Rauf is pretty famous in everywhere he goes. Well he got everything look,attitude,charm, money. But what makes him most famous then all this, is that his family or should say his whole lineage is one of the head of underworld. No one knows what kind of shady or any business they do but the word 'underworld' is enough to attract the attentions of common people.
_"whatever, isn’t it juat so rauf like" with a obsessive tone Sylvia always puts rauf in the highest role in her mind. Sylvia was also in the friend group of kinitj and rauf. She met them in middle school through family connection. That time sylvia's family had a growing business that was taken under the wings of rauf's family in order to survive in this competitive red world, they gave in without resistance. After spending middle school by obsessing over rauf, in high school sylvia confessed her feelings to rauf. Without much hesitation rauf took her as his girlfriend but after 7 months of relation they broke up or more precisely rauf broke up with her. Reasons are unknown. Kinitj was agains the idea of them dating from the beginning but of course she couldn’t say it. But sylvia knew it and she always teased kinitj that she was jealous of rauf being with sylvia though kinitj always denied. In words they became friends Once more but sylvia still liked rauf and wanted to get back. Rauf also knew that but never cared to pay attention cause everyone knew rauf never dates a girl twice after breakup. Kinitj was fed up with sylvia but never said it in her face not like sylvia didn’t knew.
Hearing sylvia's obsessive voice kinitj irritatedly rolled her eyes_"whatever".

In the mids of all of this, Emilie who was always following sylvia noticed the new girl standing besides of milie for the first time.
_"and who is that milie? Never saw her before"
Emilie's father is an acquaintance of sylvias family. Besically he works in sylvias family business for sylvias father. So emilie was always trying to buy favours by being useful to sylvia.
_"oh, meet jane. She is my one of the oldest friend. She got admitted into this collage this year so i thought i'll introduce her to you guys and we can hangout together".
_"hi, everyone. Im jane milan.nice to meet you all"
jane was nervous more then ever. Everyone in front of her was giving of their individual aura with individually unique style of clothing. And jane was a girl who chose comfort over style. She was in a full dressed up outfit without showing much skin. She felt a little out of the place watching how diffrent she was looking among them. Not a bad dressing sense but just out of the margin.
_"hi jane, welcome to the side. Im kinitj" kinitj is always the moat open and welcoming one following her everyone also introduced themselves.
_"hi beauty, im sereon. Nice to meet you too" sereon is besically a ladies man. His dictionary bcomes a 'how to flirt with ledies in a mannerism way' book whenever he is talking with a girl.
_"well,im sylvia, you need some dressing guidance. Thank me later" most of the time she is obsessed with rauf but the rest of the time it's herself.
_"hello im emilie".
_"h-hi,im andrew. And also a new comer in this group so i hope we can get along" andrew is a shy boy. Talking to a girl takes all of his guts. And also a slow picker. But for some reason most loyal to rauf.
_"guys" they all heard a loud voice calling to them while running towards them. It was sohu.
_"so you came today" kinitj mockingly said to sohu because he was taking so long to see of his father.
_"come on, i don't know when again i can meet him"
sohu is a bit too emotional. And has a kid like personality. Most of the time can't read an environment and don't get what to say and what to keep. Lying is a hard job for him. Running amok and playing around however he likes without much tension of life. He has a girlfriend who has much similar characteristics as him.they both are so cute together but can be hard to handle as a chaotic duo.
_"so where is rauf?" asked kinitj
_"how would i know? " sohu answered confused. And then he noticed jane _"oh, hi, who are you?"
_"im jane"
With that they all headed to the common room where the year starting speech was given by the teachers.
There the team set in two rows so they can hear each other. And a while later rauf showed up with some flower in his hand.
_"where have you been all this time" kinitj expressed her irritation with his ignorant behaviour. _"we were all supposed to meet at the canteen, you decided it and then never showed up!".
_"well i was a little late. And then on the way to the canteen i got some problems"
_"and you got these flowers from those problems!"
_"uuh, anyways"
Rauf wasn’t willing to talk about it any longer. Then they all decided to pay attention to the speech.
_"students of the 'Emerald Saint's High' welcome the new year and the new students. This year again we have excellent talents among us. As you know saints high isn’t like any other regular collage. It is an academy which will pull out your true talent. It will build you in a way where you will learn and gain experience at the same time. It’s a place where you can find out what you want and enjoy and invest yourself in that field. A lot of activities will be held throughout the years and you can participate in them to find your interest. Interact with new people make new friends and grow together. I wish you all the best"
After the speech of president of the collage all the other Department heads followed the suit.
After the first half, a lot of people was already leaving the venue. So did the raufs team. They went to the front yard and set on the ground making a circle. Then sereon proposed a question indicating everyone presented there
_"did you guys decided which club to join?"
Sylvia spoke while looking at a handy mirror
_"well as you see, only the cheerleading club suits me the best"
Kinitj could help but let out a scornfull laugh. But sylvia paying no mind kept on chekick on her makeup.
_"i just can't decide at all. There are so many interesting club and i just don't wanna miss out on anything fun"
_"you can't get into a club this way milie"
—"sereon, you are right. Im thinking about getting into the swimming club but then if you guys are all joining the same club, i also don't wanna miss out in that either"
_"see, that's what im talking about" with that saying milie and sohu shared an sadfull expression with eachother while letting out a loproblem .
Watching their sorrowful look andrew couldn’t keep calm and spoke
_"i heard one person can join two clubs at most but depending on which two club they choosing they can chose upto three or four".
"""-what!-"""
Everyone's face lit up hearing andrew. And thoughts started to running wild until rauf started to speak _"well then in that case we can all chose a club of our own interest and the sexond club where our interest allies"
Everyone agreed with him. But the problem was how to find out where they allies. And even though some of them knew exactly which club they wanted to chose as their first pick, most of them were even confuse with that too.
As if to put fuel into the fire emilie said _"remember we have one month to chose our picks and then the listing off until the next year"
The all lit up faces got colorless again. Tension was around the air.
For the outer people it probably isn’t a big deal but in saints high it is.
Saint's high circles around the club activities. While in other collages exam on academic book decides the value of a student here marks on club activities decides the value of a student. Its like choosing subjects for your career. So of course they would get tense. And even though emilie said the listing will be open again, but the old students can only chose a new club if it fits their schedule as andrew said based on your already decided clubs. But even in this regard old student have to finalize one of the already chosen club as their main club in the new years listing. Thats why this year you have to find out which club you want to chose as your final goal. Because based on your club they will take some practical exam and some pen-paper exam where the subjects will be similar to other collages. Such as if you chose the 'Student Council' club as your finalized decision then based on your activities and contribution to the collage or in any other way, they will provide you marks individually and as a team sometimes. And depending on in which section of a club you are working, like- if you are working as a patrol officer,looking over the law/rule of the academy if anyone or any club is violating it, organizing student Cabinet election and so on then you comes under the subject of political science/politics.
Depending on this you have to give some prectical exams and a simple paper-pen test on political science where you will get the degree or certificate on political science.
So that's why now everyone was thinking what to do. They should've already known what they wanna study don't you think?.
Anyways, engulfed by the tension, they all shared there ideas but none was agreed by all of them together. Then suddenly an unexpected voice spoke up. And the idea that the voice shared was liked by everyone. While idea was getting liked by all there were some who was also getting to like the voice itself.
