Raven's POV
"Wow, this is huge." I said with awe as soon as I stepped in through the door.
"Yup, but it gets boring after 2 years." Callahan casually said and shove his hands to the pockets of his jeans-like school pants.
He started whistling and it echoed through the huge hall of this school. This place is bigger than I thought. It is around thrice bigger than Lorenzo's mansion. This is like a mega-mansion. This school also have 4 strories. The 1st floor consists of the classes (For freshman until senior), cafeteria and 2 indoor swimming pools. The 2nd floor consists of an art or gallery room, music room, gym and 2 cafeterias. The 3rd floor consists of the library, an indoor basketball room, an indoor baseball room and a private room (used by students when they want to have a private time) and the 4th floor is like a mini park. There are grasses, plants, trees and even some animals (like birds and butterflies). At least those are what Callahan told me.
He started giving me a tour and there are some teachers already sitting in their respective classes. The first floor is great! The cafeteria is clean and very organized. Basically, the first floor is divided to 4 sections. The 1st section is for the freshman, the 2nd is for the sophomore, the 3rd is for the junior and the 4th is for the senior. So, Callahan and I are going to be in the 3rd section. I just hope that people won't bug me just because I am 14. If they did, I won't hesitate to choke them, cut them to piece, blender the pieces I cut and feed those pieces to the sharks and megalodons.
Then, we stepped into an elevator. The elevator is transparent, so I am able to see the view out of school. It is nice. Thankfully, the music in the elevator doesn't suck. It is not that bad. The door opened with a 'ding' and we are in thee 2nd floor. The good thing is that the 2nd floor is not made surrounded by walls but glass. There are no walls. Only ceilings and floors but no walls. Sunlight brightened the place and it is amazing. Uniquely, there is a tree in the middle of the 2nd floor. A real living tree.
Its leaves are green and a bit yellow. There is also a sign that says 'Do not step on the tree or soil!' I looked around more and enjoy the quietness. It is very soothing. I think this school is going to be one of my favorite places.
"This is the gallery or art room." Callahan said as he opened a door and it revealed a huge room that has a lot of amazing art and photography works hanging on the wall.
"Wow, did the students here paint or did the this photography?" I asked as I walked around the huge room, admiring the works.
"Yes, it is rare to have someone who likes to paint and like photography like this though. 1/7 of this artwork belongs to Scott Russo."
"Hmm... He's talented." I said with an agreement tone.
Although, the surname 'Russo' is very similar. Where have I heard it? I searched my brain for more answer. I switched from memory to memory and finally, I remember. Oh god. The Russo family is also apart of a gang. A powerful gang. I only met them once. What I meant by 'met', I mean that I saw them from afar talking to Eric. He told me that they are talking to him so that Eric could send me a message from them. As usual, they wanted me to join there gang. But of course, I decline. I look at the clock and see that it is 7.15 a.m. First class starts at 7.30 a.m.
"Callahan! We have to go now!" I whisper-shouted to him and bolted out of the gallery or art room with him trailing behind me.
"Time." He said with a questioning tone.
"7.15." I replied quickly.
He cursed under his breath and he fidgeted a bit and finally, the elevator door opened with a 'ding' revealing the first floor and a lot of students. Apparently, the ding of the elevator grabbed all of the people's attention. The boys are looking at my legs hungrily and lustfully. Sadly, the skirt stops 3 inches above the knee, so it revealed a part of my thigh. Disgusting pigs.
"Don't you people have something to do?!" I growled at them and gave them my best glare, making them all stop staring at me.
Once they did I huffed and jabbed Callahan on the rib, making him wince and gave out a strained 'ow'.
"What did you do that for?" Callahan asked rather loudly.
"Oh, I don't know. Probably for making both of us almost late!" I whisper-shouted again.
"Easy, woman! No need to snap." Callahan said with both of his hands raised up in surrender. '
I rolled my eyes and walked out of the huge cafeteria where most of the students are gathered. I could feel a lot of eyes looking at me but I ignored it. Luckily, I have already memorized the halls, so I knew where I am going. I am going to get my schedule so I stopped at a door that has the word 'Secretary' painted on the door. I knocked on the door before I entered. Once I entered, I saw a Chinese-Italian woman who is in the mid-30's. Thankfully, I know a bit of Chinese. I walke towards the woman and the woman finally took notice of me.
"嗨！我是一个新学生." (Hi! I am a new student) I said at her, hoping that I didn't say the wrong words.
"哦，你好。你可以说中文。已经10年了，这里的任何人都不会说中文!" (Oh, hello. You can speak Chinese. It has been 10 years since anybody in here can speak Chinese!) The woman excitedly reply (which is rare for a secretary to do).
"是的，虽然我不是那么好." (Yes, although I am not very good.) I confessed to her.
"好的，抱歉让你久等了。 你叫什么名字?" (Okay, sorry for keeping you waiting. What's your name?) She asked and readied her fingers to type onto the keyboard and print out the schedule.
"乌鸦斯嘉丽黛利拉-罗马诺." (Raven Scarlett Delilah-Romano) I answered and clasped both of my hand with a smile.
The woman nodded and typed my name rather quickly. Not to brag or anything, but I can type quicker than that considering that I am a retired hacker. I quickly shake my head to clear my head out of those thoughts and focus. The woman printed out my schedule and handed it over to me and gave me a warm smile.
"谢谢你，祝你有美好的一天......梅女士." (Thank you and have a nice day... Ms. May. ) I said and added a warm smile.
"你也一样!" (You too!) She said with a chirpy voice and I waved at her goodbye.
I got out of the room and walked through the hall. Callahan is right, there are 5-7 lessons in a day. Hope this is not going to be boring. And there are also extra-curricular activities that I haven't signed up at. I quickly went to my first lesson.

*Note: Book review will be held up once a month. The books you need to pick are auto-biographies, fiction, non-fiction, historical or historical-fiction.
Oh damn! I got 6 lessons today? And there is this book review thing? Nah, that will be easy. As soon as I reached the first class (which is actually homeroom time), I became a bit nervous. The door is closed, meaning that I will have to knock. Knocking will definitely catch people's attention. But, I better just go for it. I knocked on the door and heard a 'come in'. The room became silent, so I take that as a chance to enter. I opened the door and saw the teacher, Mr. Calvin.
"Hi, I am Raven. The new student." I said to the Mr. Calvin.
"Nice to meet you, I am Mr. Calvin. I will be your homeroom and sports teacher. Would you like to introduce yourself?"
I just nodded and quickly introduced myself, "My name's Raven Scarlett Delilah-Romano, I am 14 years old and Callahan Valentine right over there is my close buddy."
"14?!" Mr. Calvin asked flabbergasted.
"Yes, didn't it say in my file?" I asked innocently.
Mr. Calvin rushed towards his table and opened my file. He read quickly before nodding slowly. I grinned and make my way to an empty seat that is right beside Callahan. What a coincidence? I gotta admit, there are a few girl trying to trip my feet but I just past them with ease. I sat down on the empty seat and place my bag on the floor beside my table. I sit down comfortably and looked around the class. Most boys are eye raping me. Gross!
"Can I stab their eyes out?" I asked Callahan as I lean close enough to him so that I can whisper.
"No!" He almost shouted and I immediately sit back up straighter on my seat with a huff.
This going to be a long day!
