Have you ever had a dream you felt was so real that it has to have happened before? White silhouettes appears out of the darkness which looks like 2 men and a woman on the edge of a platform. The woman falls off then suddenly you see it from the perspective of one of the men, while the other seems broken and crying on the background. You desperately try to catch the hand of the girl while crying yourself, but you miss it, the silhouette of the girl is smiling while crying and she says “we'll see each other again, I promise”.
Then there goes a familiar noise of a buzzing alarm clock waking up our hero for a fresh sunny day, birds chirping happily people working merrily. Looking at the alarm clock he sees that it's already 6:30 am and he is already late for the first day of school. He quickly jumps up from bed, raced to the bathroom for a quick wash, fixes his hair then straight to the dining room. There he sees a note from his father saying “Don't be late on your first day, your allowance is in front of the T.V.,make sure to check all the faucets and all of the appliances before you go out don't forget to lock the door, I'll be home late so don't bother waiting for me you can eat out for dinner or heat up a meal you don't need to worry about my share I'll eat on the way home". Our hero Joshua turns on the T.V. and prepares to eat breakfast , the morning show has a special on the suspension bridge effect which peaked his interests while he gobbles up his breakfast.
After washing the dishes and brushing his teeth he makes sure that the faucets are off and all the appliances are unplugged he took his allowance from the T.V. and raced off while muttering to himself “Dad is pretty generous for giving me this much allowance”. He quickly raced down the stairs and by the time he left their apartment complex it was already 7:30 and class starts at 8:00. While running to school he was greeted by their neighbours and family friends like boss Khalil a computer shop owner and aling Tessa a flower shop vendor while saying “Aren't we running a little late there young Joshua". He answered happily “Don't worry I'll make it in time for sure" while waving his hands goodbye.
Their world is known as Regalo and in this world two types of people exist, the fragments which are people born with special abilities, and the humans who have no special abilities whatsoever, these two factions are at constant war against each other to find out which race reigns supreme. Currently the humans are in control of the world, but there are people in the fragment faction who're willing to do anything to turn that around. As Joshua rushes towards school he sees a couple of fragments using their fragment for their daily work and duties. He looks up to the sky to see it vibrant and blue signifying a great day, and that he's late.
Miraculously he makes it to school in just under 10 minutes without breaking a sweat. As he approaches the school gate he sees in front of him are a group of students huddled together walking in a group. These kids looked pretty haughty and felt like a group delinquents shoving people out of the way as they make their way towards the school joshua was about to go stop them but he saw that they were wearing uniforms the same as him and thought that picking fights with a schoolmate on the first day of school would only look bad for him, so he just pressed on like the other students, he suddenly hears familiar voices while feeling a couple of arms coming onto his shoulders.
It was his best friends Ethan and Cristopher “Its pretty weird seeing you up so early Joshua" said Cristopher, “ I bet ya he woke up 30 minutes ago" added Ethan. They roughed up his hair and Joshua retaliated by doing the same to them, then they laughed out loud literally loud in front of the school gates.While all that commotion was happening on the side, a long ass limousine parked in front of the school gates a huge number of guards lined up by the door heading into the school they rolled out the red carpet and the main butler went ahead and opened the door.
An elegant lady came out from the car and she was escorted by her butler and the guards into the campus all of the student body was dumbfounded at the display. A huge crowd of people quickly formed trying to see who it was and Joshua got a glimpse of the girl as she was coming out of the car. Flashes of memories sprang into his head then he uttered “Its her" both ethan and cris flailed around trying to look for who their friend was talking about clearly wanting to tease Joshua but to no avail as the girl already vanished into the crowd.
Clearly disappointed for not seeing the girl who captured their friends heart they quickly grabbed him by the collar and entered the campus. The first thing you need to do during the first day of school is to check which class you're put into, in front of the gate was a huge board detailing all the students classroom assignments, as all three were checking ,they found out that luckily they were all assigned to the same room Joshua and Cristopher were crying tears of joy while hugging each other as Ethan let out a sigh as if he was expecting this outcome.
As the three musketeers faced the door into the classroom a familiar voice rang out to them “AAAAAAH!!! This can't be that's impossible”, it was Circe a childhood friend to the three of them. She went and stopped them right at the door “ How the hell are you three in this school!! This institution is supposed to be for the highest of breeds, the cream of the crop” Circe shouted at them “ Well you see baby looks like me and the boys might just have what it takes to be living in the highlight" says Cris while putting an elbow on Circe's shoulder and winking. “Its high life stupid” says Circe while removing Cristopher's elbow on her shoulder “What I mean to say is other than being rich, only the most talented and smartest individuals are capable of passing in this institution, Ethan maybe but you two its just impossible” added Circe.
The two just put up peace signs while smiling from ear to ear clearly trying to tease her, before she blows up with anger the school chime rings and every student went outside and formed lines. While all three boys are puzzled about this activity Circe lets out a big sigh and says “ You three really are delinquents, you don't even know about the morning assembly “.The three delinquents threw their bags into the classroom and quickly joined the line, while standing in line Joshua is still wondering about that girl he saw at the school entrance.
The entire student body was gathered in the gymnasium where the faculty introduced themselves together with the student council, the principal was unavailable so the morning announcements were made by the vice principal. After the announcements the student council president took over to discuss about the school rules and regulations and reminded them to never loose their student handbook. All of the students were diligently listening except for the three problem children, after all the announcements were made the vice principal had one final announcement to make.“ This is a very important year for all of us because starting this year we will be joined by a very important person “ said the vp while gesturing to the side, everyone's attention was directed towards the stage as she walks out “ Althea Vespa Soleanna Warmlight”.
“She is the heiress to the Warmlight Group, one of the largest conglomerates in the world, and she has chosen to attend sunflower high as her alma mater for the next three years, make sure to treat her well and with utmost respect”, instructs the vp strictly. Althea gave them a graceful bow before leaving the stage, a deafening silence filled the whole gymnasium with students shocked from left to right including the three stooges. “So that was the girl" uttered Ethan “This hurdle is way to high to jump my friend” said Cristopher while grabbing Joshua's shoulder, but clearly Joshua is still love stuck like this morning at the gate.
After the assembly everyone returned to their respective classrooms but everyone’s still clearly talking about Althea and just like everybody else Joshua and the gang were curious so they went to the one person they knew who knew something. All three of them slammed their hands on the desk and said “ Tell us everything you know” Circe jolted in surprise to the three and said “What makes you think I know anything”. “Well you've always been miss I'm from the high class" says Cris which annoyed her as she says “Just so you know I am from a higher class at least compared to you three, but Althea is on a whole nother level”.
Just as circe says that the classroom door opens and every one returns to their seats as the teacher enters “ Good morning class!! My name is Hillary Claybourne and I'll be your homeroom teacher for this year “ she greets them cheerfully with a huge smile on her face. “AAAAAAAAAH!!! Big Sister Airyyyyyy !!!” shouted Cris and as Hillary heard that, it quickly showed on her face the feeling of annoyance from hearing a familiar voice.
Every other student in class was confused at what was happening but Hillary continued on with a quick announcement “ As you all are aware of, we have a very important person attending the school from now own, and since this is section 1 you must act appropriately to show her that you belong at the top with her” as she said that she directed a piercing gaze at our three delinquents “Now without further ado" added Hillary. The classroom doors open revealing Althea she walks towards the center of the classroom, she bows wholeheartedly which surprised the entire class you can hear an audible response from the students in shock. “My name is Althea Vespa Soleanna Warmlight please take good care of me for the following years” she exclaimed.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
“Please raise your head Miss Althea" uttered a voice next to her “ Oh and this here is Althea's personal assistant Clyde, who will be attending class with her” Hillary interjected “Pleasure" Clyde continued. After introducing themselves althea sat at the front desk in the middle while clyde proceeded to observe the class from the back corner of the room. The noise slowly dies down as Hillary starts speaking.
“Ok everyone lets continue from where miss Warmlight left off and introduce ourselves one by one, just tell us your names and your ambition in life”. Each of the students stood up and introduced themselves to everyone, Circe said she wants to be a famous celebrity when she grows up , Ethan said he doesn't really care what happens so long as he can provide for his family, and Cristopher says that he'll just laze around with his beloved older sister playing games till he grows old to which Hillary throws a chalk at Cristopher's forehead prompting a headshot then Cris faints.
The next speaker is joshua but ever since Althea entered the classroom he's been speechless with his mouth open, everyone has been been staring at him for quite a while till Cris slaps him to wake him up from his lovestruck state. Only for him to find that everyone is staring at him “Dude introduce yourself" whispered Ethan he quickly stood up and shouted “ My name is Joshua Solrite and when I grow up I want to marry Althea Warmlight!!!" Much to everyone’s shock. But all of that was happening in his brain in actuality he only said his name and said that when he grows up he wants to become rich then sat back down awkwardly.
After the class introduction Hillary told them what their daily schedule would be, reviewed the school rules and, advised them that the classes will be starting tomorrow and that today will only be a half day, their teachers will only attend class today to introduce themselves and afterwards the children will be allowed to go home and prepare for tomorrow's actual start of classes before she leaves though Althea asks her when the clubs will be open and she replies that club recruitment will happen at the end of the week.
After all of the day’s activities the school bell rings indicating lunch which means that school is over for the day Cris asks the guys if they would like to hangout since its their last day of freedom Ethan refused and says that he has a prior commitment to attend to, then he turned to Joshua only to see him staring at Althea so he didn't even bother. He approached Circe to ask if she would like to go home together to which she replied that she already promised to hangout with her friends so she can't take him up on his offer and advised that next time she'd happily hangout with her old pals after that she jokingly says that she doesn't hangout with peasants though.
With no one indulging him cris lashes out with fake tears screaming “WAAAAH!!! no one likes me anymore You're all stupid” then just stormed out which snapped Joshua back to reality “What’s up with up with cris" asked Joshua. “He's just upset that we can't hang out with him" replied Ethan, “Who said I can't hangout?” asks Joshua, “Oh no one it's just you were so deep in your althea vision that we knew we wouldn't get any feedback from you" answered Ethan, “Wait what the heck is Althea Vision" asked Joshua, "Its what happens when you become brain dead after looking at her, you just keep staring at her hence the Althea Vision Cris came up with the name, he said it was trademarked, well anyway gotta run dude see you tomorrow “ said Ethan as he leaves promptly.
While all of those shenaniganeries were happening Clyde approached Althea to ask her if she's ready to go home so that they could prepare the car and Althea said that Clyde should wait by the car cause she wants to tour the campus to search for the clubs before their introduction by the end of the week. As this is an order from the master Clyde obliges and waits by the car, Joshua on the other hand was walking by his lonesome down the hallway since his friends left him with nothing to do he's decided to just go home until he saw a peculiar person skipping down the hall.
It was Althea and she has the biggest smile on her face as she trots down the hallway checking each room, Joshua once again dives into his Althea vision but this time he was completely sane he saw an opportunity to get close to her finally, so he decided to follow her from a respectable distance of course. Couple of hours pass after their journey through the school hallways, althea was stopped by a group of students from a different class, it was the same group causing a ruckus this morning. Joshua wanted to intervene at first but was stopped because he remembered what Circe told him, and trusted that these students are model citizens and would do no harm to the most important person in school so he decided to follow them.
These students were actually from class three and unlike what Circe said class 3 was a class composed with a lot of rich spoiled kids who only got in due to their parents influence and money. “Well what are you doing here young princess “ asked one of the students “Yeah school's over for the day shouldn't you be heading home by now" added another student.
“Well I was just wondering where the Outdoor Expedition club is” replied Althea “Oh the Outdoor Expedition club yeah yeah I know where that club is" boasted one of the students “Really well could you please show me the way” asks Althea with pleading eyes “Well sure anything for you princess just follow us” said one of the students while smoothly wrapping his arms around Althea’s shoulder and guiding her. This sparked a hint of frustration within Joshua’s eyes, but since they're not doing anything bad to her he would have no good reason to intervene especially since it would seem that Althea really needed their help.
They guided her towards the back of the school and when they got there Althea says “I don't think there would be any club rooms this far back in the campus" the group of students started laughing maniacally then one of them said “There's no such thing as an outdoor expedition club" whilst still laughing “And if there ever was one how would we know about it we started attending this school today" said one of the other students. “Then why did you lead me all the way out here” asked Althea fearful for her safety “We just wanted to have a little fun princess, why don't you join us a little, we'd really love a pretty face like you keeping us poor kids company just for a little while “ says the leader of the bunch while approaching althea and lifting her chin up.
“HEEEEY!!! Back away from her you piece of scum!!!” screams Joshua beat red with anger , he walks slowly towards the group of students clearly infuriated at them for tricking Althea. “Ooooh well lookie what we have here, a wannabe hero" said the leader of the students “ Do you know what I do to wannabe heroes huh punk" provokes the leader while grabbing Joshua's shirt. “Don't you know who your facing off against dude, that’s Terrence Ironwill, he's the son of one of the most successful businessman in sunflower city” said one of the goon, an idea popped in Joshua's head, his face lightened up and said.
“Oh, I'm sorry mister Ironwill I didn't know what I was doing, please don't hurt me" pleaded joshua showing a complete 180 from his previous expression “Hmph wimp" said Terry while throwing Joshua towards his goons “Search him look for his student handbook and any F.R.A.M.E. on his body “ added Terry. The goons quickly frisked his body while saying “You did the right thing man, you know there's no defeating Terrence no matter what you try man” while still getting frisked Joshua asks “Why's that “ eager to answer one of the goons said “Well to be honest its probably because of his fragment, he has the ability to multiply his power based on the fear of his opponent, the more his enemy is afraid of him the stronger he is, just look at that physique his body is built like a brick mansion, big and sturdy perfect for scaring off chumps, and with a fragment like that he's practically unstoppable “ says one of the goons.
“Intimidation huh not bad" mutters Joshua “Report” shouts Terry “He's got nothing on him sir other than this ring on his necklace” said one of the goons “ His student handbook says that he is a Fragment, Fragment title Silver Tongue” added by another goon. Terrence grabs Althea by the wrist and starts pulling her away and Joshua sees her clearly struggling, “Silver Tongue huh that's pretty persuasive we can use him as our errand boy what do you guys think “ says Terrence.
Before Terrence could even take a step while grabbing Althea by the wrist he felt a chilling sensation “I’m afraid I can't take you up on that offer sir Terry" said Joshua , the goon who took Joshua's ring fiddled with it a little which then revealed a black leather overcoat with characters embroidered on it. The characters on the inside spells out the word boss and and characters on the outside spell out the words Abyssal Knights with a symbol embroidered on top of it, as soon as Terry saw that overcoat he lets go of Althea’s hand he knew what those characters meant, fearing for his life he shouted “No!! it can't be!! Its impossible!! how is the dark prince of the school district here in this prestigious school!?”. “Super Punch" muttered Joshua he instantly jumped in front of Terrence with his fist readied for a full swing Terrence uttered “Using your fragment within the school zone without supervision of a teacher is a viable cause for 1 month suspension” pleading for his life. Joshua pulled the punch before even hitting Terry’s face but a huge gust of wind still blew past the trajectory of his punch completely obliterating the wall behind and the trees for a good couple of hundred of meters, “Touch my girl again and I swear the next time your head will spray all over that wall" whispers Joshua while glaring at terry then jokingly smiles.
Deeply traumatized Terry makes a run for it , while his goons desperately try to flee the scene in fear for their lives and soon enough there's only the two of them left at the back of the school. “Thank you very much for saving my life” thanked Althea wholeheartedly, offering the prettiest smile that Joshua has ever seen before, once again he enters Althea vision and stuttered “O-Oh uh that was nothing all in the days work" he muttered. Althea noticed that he is perspiring a lot and so she offers him a handkerchief and he takes it without batting an eye he wipes off his sweat and smiles brightly while saying “Thanks" the gesture made Althea very happy.
Couple of hours prior Clyde was getting antsy because there was still no sign of Althea, so together with the other guards, they started going around the school yard to search for her. Althea could hear Clyde and the other guards looking for her and so she tries to bid Joshua adieu but before she could leave Joshua called out to her “Wait I would like to talk to you about something”. Joshua remembered about the special on the morning TV show Unang Hirit sa Umagang kay Ganda about the suspension bridge effect and since they both just encountered a somewhat dangerous situation he thought that its the perfect opportunity to try it out.
So he steeled his resolve and said it very clearly “Althea Warmlight I’m in love you please go out with me!!!” he lowered his head as much as he could and reached out his hand for her if she takes it and says yes his whole life will be fulfilled and he can die happy. But during the moment all that Althea could hear were all of the people looking for her so she bows politely and says “ I’m sorry but, I really need to go, thank you very much for saving me, I'll make it up to you some other day I promise" as she hurriedly leaves the scene. All he heard was “ I'm sorry” and his world crumbled, while still in a bowing position his eyes started getting watery and as soon as she's out of the picture he bawled out at the top off his lungs while the panel lifts up to the orange sky dyed by the sunset. Inside the car Clyde asks Althea what she was doing that took her so long and she says “Oh it was nothing, just catching up with an old friend" while smiling sweetly making Clyde confused.
