(Clara's Perspective)
Gakuen World Academy, day three. Well, I survived three days. And I have to say—it's the wildest and most tiring three days in my life! I stood up from my bed and went to fix myself and then get into my school uniform. After dressing up, I went outside my room.
When I got out my room my dorm mates looked at me in confusion.
"Why, are you in your uniform?"Natalya asked cocking her head to the side in a questionable manner.
"Ay Tanga!!! School fest pala ngayon!!! shit!" I cursed under my breath and then turned towards my room to change my clothes.' Ang tanga mo bes' I said to myself before coming out of my room.
(T/N: Aw, stupid! Now's the school fest!!!!)
“Are you okay now?” Chelsea asked in an impatient tone.
“Yeah, it seems that I'm not still used to being in this place.” I chuckled a little bit.
“Work it ladies! we don't want Eli-zilla to get mad at us. You know she hates being late.” Bella shouted like a director in a busy set.
“Elli-zilla?” I asked curiously.
“You know, when it comes occasions like this Lizzy transforms into a boss lady and will eat you alive if you didn't make it to the call time.” Bella explained while smiling.
“So don't get late or the Eli-zilla will bestow her wrath.”Mei said in a very deep tone.
“Okay girls, let's get it going now.”Bella signalled with a clap.
We headed out of our building and proceeded to the school grounds. Damn, this school's very huge! Even though, I was there for three days— three days are not enough for me to roam around, and to that being said, I'm lost. I must've overenjoyed myself from that cat cafe I didn't noticed that I was left behind. Great! I'm lost in an enormous school and has no idea where Am I going. I wandered in circles only to be greeted to the fact that...
“DAMMIT! Aww, I'm not going to make it. Ate Liz will be disappointed.” I mumbled while sitting on a bench, hands over my head.
“Umm, miss?” a man suddenly tapped my shoulder. I lifted my head and met his icy blue orbs and square framed glasses.
“Are you okay miss? May I help you?”He asked with a vibrant smile
“Umm...”
“Oh, yes, I forgot! I'm Alfred, Alfred Jones. Nice to meet you.”He said reaching out his hand to give me a handshake. I took his hand and gave him a smile.
“I'm—”
“Alfie!!!Oh, there you are! I've been looking all around for you! Iggy's going kill you if— who is she?” a man that looks like him but with slightly long hair and circle framed glasses.
“Hey,Mattie! By the way, he's my twin brother, Mattie,” Alfred greeted and introduced his 'twin' brother.
Mattie smiled and nodded to me and said with his rather timidly polite voice,“Nice to meet you! I'm sorry to intervene but I really need to borrow him. Can I?”
“Oh,I'm so sorry. Yeah... I should go now. Bye!” I said slipping away from the awkward situation.
God that was weird...
I continued to wander around and then I found an information booth of the newspaper club.
*Gakuen World Academy Info desk
(Newspaper Club)*
I approached the guy on the information booth and asked them.
“Konnichiwa, h-how can we herp you?” the short guy with black hair and brown eyes greeted with a thick japanese accent and difficulty in speaking in English.
“学校の地図はありますか?” I asked.
(Do you have a school map?)
He stared at me in awe and smiled.
“はい。” He replied and handed me a map.
(Yes)
“ありがとう” I said with a smile.
(Thank you)
“Umm, w-wait! Can I get photo of you for survey?” he asked me shyly.
“Yeah, sure. You seem new here too.”
“Yes, I just arrived here a week ago. Now, can you please choose a card? Red one if you are not satisfied about the info and green one if you are.”
I picked the green one with a smile.
“Okay, stand still. Smile!..Okay! Thank you for your review!”he bowed and smiled.
“You're welcome! Oh, by the way, What's your name? I'm Clara. Nice to meet you.”
“I'm Kiku. Nice to meet you too. The best of luck for your navigation.”
I waved at him a goodbye and followed the cute map of the school grounds. Wow, the layout is very cute and easy to understand. With chibis and cute mascots. After a few minutes I arrived at Ate Liz's dessert bar. I walked inside and tackled by Ate Liz.
“Clara! Oh, thank goodness you're alright! I'm so worried about you.” She said burying me on her chest.
“I'm fine. Thanks to this.” I smiled showing her the map that Kiku gave me.
“So, you saw the Newspaper club. My Boyfriend's younger brother was the editor in chief in there.” She said while smiling at the map.
“Miss El, where should I place this table you asked me to— Hey, dollface! Nice to see you around.”A slightly familiar voice called. I looked at him with an awkward smile
“Oh, Alfred. Just put it right there.” Ate Liz said.
“Here?”He asked waiting for her command.
“A little bit left, two steps backwards, and there.”She said while still clinging to me.
Alfred placed a smile on his face and approached me. “Wait, you know each other?”Ate Liz asked curiously, letting go of my arm. “Imma go now to the kitchen and I'll leave you two for a while.” and with that she exited the scene and went inside the kitchen.
“Okay, we didn't get to have a decent introduction, so I'll do it again. I'm Alfred Jones, at your service dollface.” He introduced himself with a wink.
“I'm Clara Maria Delacruz. Nice to meet you.” I said beaming slightly towards him.
“Hmm, nice name. It suits you best. Hey, do you have any plans this weekend? If you're free maybe you can hang out and play some videogames.” He suggested with a very expectant smile.
“Umm, I'll let you know if I'm free.”
“Awesome dude! Oh, here's my number—ring me if you're free, okay?” He said while scribbling his cellphone number on a piece of tissue. After he finished writing, he gave me the tissue with a smile.
“Okay, see ya around dollface!” he said and turned away to help the others in the kitchen.
Heh. What a cheerful guy. I smiled to myself and proceeded to my work.
“Bonjour everyone!” Monique greeted with a smile when she walked inside the room.
“Where the hell have you been?”Bella asked with a raised eyebrow in a questioning manner.
“Woah, chill. The festival will open at 8:00 and Lizzy knew that I will be late.”Monique retorted.
“Then, why're you freakin' late?”
“I spend all night to finish this.” Monique beamed while opening up a cardboard box. She pulled out some clothes from the box and showed it up.
“Liz asked me to do the uniforms for the dessert bar. Here's for you. ” Bella took the uniform and excused herself. Monique called everyone and gave them their uniforms.
