Chapter 1 The Kid From The 23rd Block
***Running***
Felice, in her uniform, is panting as she runs from the 23rd block to her school. She's running late on her first day as a Junior, and mind you, Le Herison's Academy doesn't tolerate tardiness even at the beginning of classes.
"Don't close the gate"! Felice blurted with all the air she could gasp.
The gate was about an inch close to fully stop the latecomers from coming in.
"Oh! It's you, the kid from the 23rd block!" the guard acknowledged her and opened the gate for her to enter.
"Thank you, Mr. Simons; I owe you one." That, and she ran as fast as she could, leaving Mr. Simons smiling with how bright her aura is even in situations like this.
***Hallway***
With so much eagerness not to be called out on the first day of school, Felice ran and glided in the hallway until...
**thud***
As she raises her head, an angelic face leaves her stunned. "ah-s-so-sorr---"
"Two words. Back Off," The man with an angelic face blurted in exasperation and left in a way too-cool manner.
Felice was still in a shocked phase when Amy, her best friend, called her attention. "Too early to cause a mess, huh?"
When her senses kicked in, "Who was that?" Felice muttered.
"I heard he is an exchange student from our sister school, and d*mn, he's so hot!"
"I know". Felice said while slowly starting to walk to their assigned classroom.
***Classroom***
All day, Felice kept thinking about how angelic the man from earlier was. She's too obsessed with what classroom he was in, his name, his address, and what he likes, and she generally wants to be closer to him.
"Did you know that Kio Hamada, from Le Herison's Main Campus, is here?" Said one of Felice's classmates.
Everyone got so interested in the topic, especially the girls from the class, as Kio Hamada is like a celebrity from the main campus. He was a student model in the country, and apart from his looks, intellect, and talent, he was also an heir to the largest company on the West Coast. He was literally a perfection in every sense.
"But, why did he transfer here?" Felice can't resist anymore.
"I heard the administration exchanged him and Alfred as part of the mandatory practice of Le Herison."
Alfred was the best student in the school, but everyone called him weird.
"That's perfect! A weird was exchanged with Perfection!" another student chimed in.
"Hey! That's too low!" Felice can't stand bullies.
"There she goes again! The kid from the 23rd block, the superhero of the weird ones," and everybody laughed so hard.
Before Felice loses it, Amy stops her.
It has been like that since her freshmen year. Felice is so strong-willed that she wouldn't allow bullying. Even when she didn't know the bullied student, she would try to stop it, and that includes Alfred, the student exchanged with Kio.
Later that time, in the afternoon, the bell rang for dismissal. Everybody got up excitedly and went to their respective circles to go home. Felice and Amy were left inside the classroom. As part of their routine, they are friends with everybody, but they really don't have a circle they can run on at the end of every class. So, they only leave once the classroom is empty.
On their way out of the campus, they spotted a white limousine, and guess who's inside? It's Kio Hamada.
Both Felice's and Amy's eyes couldn't believe what they saw. It was the first time that a limousine went inside their campus to fetch a student. They were too stunned to speak and were very impressed with what kind of life Kio Hamada had been living all along.
