Chapter 7 – First Day of School!

Wowie! It's finally the first day of school!

...

Well, okay, that's not entirely true. Today is March 10th, which means that the first semester of school is already over. We're early into the second half, but everything should be fine.

Regarding my classes, my grade level, and everything, Headmaster Quills just winked and said, "I got this figured out, so don't worry!" I'm starting to reconsider my decisions.

But honestly, that's still better than what Scarlet did. I turned my head for one moment and she just vanished. Just, completely gone.

And that was last night. I barely found my way to my dorm.

After cleaning up a bit and styling my fresh blue hair in the mirror for half an hour, I decided to check the wardrobe. I really didn't have anything on me, so any spare clothes would be a blessing.

New Blessing Acquired!

Huh? What's this flashing in front of my face?!

Spare Clothes Blessing:

Wake up with a fresh pair of boxers every day.

There was a white boxer brief with red polka dots that I was somehow carrying with me.

...

"Blessing of Blessings," huh? I should've known it was too good to be true. I'm really not going to get anything good, am I?

I tossed those aside and opened the closet, revealing a row of fresh school uniforms. Black with gold lining on the inside, and dark blue on the outside, with a red tie to match.

Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.

And I guess the pants were cool too, or something.

Knock. Knock.

Now, who could possibly be knocking on my door at this time of the morning? Classes start at nine, so I have another half hour to spare. Ugh, I guess I'll go and check.

"Gimme a moment! I'm getting dressed!"

I finished my business and gently opened the door. Standing in front of me was... a girl that I don't even recognize.

"Um. Whaddya want? I'm kinda-"

Immediately, I was struck by her radiant aura. The way her blonde hair flowed, like a long, curling river, and the floral scent that came with. She had the prettiest blue eyes, sparkling like the Mediterranean waters, and her golden lashes drew my attention more so. Her skin was light like butter and without imperfections. She was just a teeny bitsy fraction of a piece shorter than I was, so I could see just a bit over her head.

By Jove! Could such a person truly be?

"B-bwah! I- I..."

She stared at me, confused. In that fraction of a second, I noticed that her uniform was a bit different from mine (brown outside and white inside), which was pretty strange. I didn't know we could customize it like that, but I'm getting off track! I need to focus! I gotta act naturally!

"D-do you, uh... do you come here often? L-like, do you, um, are you, uh... do you go to this school?"

End me.

"Huh? What are you even saying?" She raised a brow, trying to read my expression. "Well, anyways, you're the new transfer, aren't you?"

"Yup! That's me! Boles B-"

I shut my mouth. I almost revealed my secret identity! Too close...

"Right. Nice to meet you, Boles. My name is Audi Gers, representing the student council. Since this is your first day, I'll be helping you around."

"Yeah, sure! But what about classes and stuff?"

"Oh, don't worry about that. We have the same classes. Otherwise, why would they have picked me to show you around?"

She gestured for me to follow as we quickly made our way out the boy's dorm. I'm not sure if she's even allowed in there, but she has authority, so that must mean something.

We walked around the campus, which was brimming full of life now. There were people doing all sorts of stuff before the first class would start. I could make out some kids playing what looked like volleyball, some sitting by the benches and reading some sort of news, others just chatting about and having a nice walk in the nice March weather.

"...and over there is the temporary Volleybomb court! The season hasn't started yet, of course, but our team practices all year long."

"Uh huh. Yup."

"Oh, and if you turn that corner, you'll see our famous library. Speaking of which, I really need to hit the books soon. Midterms are over and I'm already forgetting... forgetting..."

She stopped in her tracks, completely frozen. The sounds of the wind blowing filled the silence.

"I... forgot. Boles, you came along with another student, yes?"

"Now that I think about it, yeah."

She grimaced. It's kinda crazy how she still looks like a perfect angel despite that.

"That makes... a lot more sense now. One of those papers was definitely missing. Oh dear. Uh."

CLANG! CLANG!

"You can head on to class without me!"

She ran off as soon as the bells chimed, leaving me with nothing.

Where do I go?

I don't have my schedule.
