Chapter 5
LAUREN'S POV

In the dimly lit room, Denise and I exchanged glances, both harboring a mix of excitement and nervousness about our new journey at "Clandestine Senior High School." The name itself carried an air of mystery that intrigued us.

As we entered the imposing gates, guarded by two stern figures, the anticipation grew. The school's vast hallway echoed our footsteps as we navigated towards the elusive Dean's office, the heart of our enrollment process.

Upon reaching the office, a swivel chair turned, revealing the Dean, a figure of authority surrounded by an aura of wisdom. "Good morning, Sir," we greeted in unison, the words rolling off our tongues with a blend of formality and eagerness.

As the Dean enlightened us about the dormitory facilities, a realization struck - our lives were about to embark on a thrilling adventure beyond textbooks and exams. With a nod from the Dean, we left the office, ready to explore the uncharted territories of high school life.

But fate had other plans. A sudden collision with a hurried young man left me bewildered on the floor. Apologies were exchanged hastily, and the stranger disappeared into the school's hustle and bustle.

A curious old man sprinted towards us, seemingly intent on catching up with the mysterious figure. Denise, puzzled by my momentary trance, probed, "What happened? You looked like you've seen a ghost."

"Nothing," I brushed off, choosing to keep the encounter to myself. Little did I know that this incident would be the spark igniting a series of unpredictable events.

As we strolled towards the parking lot, the atmosphere was thick with unspoken excitement. Mang Ronnie, the dependable driver, awaited us, ready to chauffeur us to our next destination.

Back at Denise's house, a hearty lunch was devoured before succumbing to the exhaustion of the day. Nightfall brought an unexpected awakening; hunger drove me to the kitchen, where Denise sat, a silent companion in the realm of midnight snacks.

Engrossed in conversation, we discussed the enigmatic collision earlier and the imminent task of packing for the dormitory. The night unfolded with whispers of curiosity, hinting at the mysteries our new school held.

As the clock ticked towards the unknown, we ascended to our dreams, eager for what tomorrow would unveil in the corridors of "Clandestine Senior High School."
