Chapter 1: Nice to meet you!

The sun blooms off it's slumber, the birds rejoice towards the sky.

Inside a school campus, a new student has arrived.

A boy with dark hair with short length and golden eyes steps towards the gates of his new education institution. "Here I am." He utters to himself while he prepares to meet his new classmates.

Since he was new to this school, he was clueless ever since he arrived. So for the past 10 minutes he has been aimlessly wandering around the campus, looking for instructions or the map of the whole institution.

Finally, he stumbles upon a whiteboard that was filled with instructions for new students.

"Where have you been?" He talks to the non-living object, then approaches it to take a closer look.

After a close look at the board, he's left confused as the papers that was stuck on the whiteboard tells the new student exactly on what to do, but didn't tell them how to do the exact thing.

He scans the whole whiteboard for more answers, carefully analyzing every paper that was taped on. He found absolutely nothing that can help him find his designated room.

He clicks his tongue and turns his back on the board and starts walking away, frustrated that he's still lost.

"What the hell is wrong with this institution? I'm already lost in the span of 20 minutes when I arrived here." He says with anger seeping through his tone.

"I guess I'll go to the information desk, since it's the only thing that was mentioned in that 'oh-so-helpful' board."

He ventures his way through the large campus that he was in, trying to locate the said information desk that will help him solve his crisis.

While looking, he carefully observes his environment and took a mental note on what his eyes looked at.

His campus, was largely populated and was booming with people around.

As he walks through the crowds, trying to find this desk. He starts taking notes on what he saw.

"So we have a: student's park, a open plaza, and a enclosed cafeteria."

"But I need the location of the de-"

While thinking to himself, he was stopped abruptly by the loud students coming from a direction, he lifts his head up and glanced at the direction the noise was coming from.

It was from students who were managing the information desk. They were talking among themselves, it looked like they were having fun.

He finally approached the desk had a green cloth layered over it with a big sign on the bottom that says "Information Desk". He asks the students that were incharge of the booth.

"Hello! May I ask some questions?"

The student infront of him greeted him with a joyful smile and enthusiasm.
