Kirsten's POV

"Altum Lawrence Academy," I said. This is it. A place where no one knows who I am and no one will judge me. I need to cope with the new surroundings. Well, I'm still not used to wearing these glasses and braces. But somehow I'll get used to it.

"Here goes nothing," I entered the school and I was quite impressed. It's not bad at all. The facades of the buildings were well constructed.

As I was finding my way to the dormitories, a soccer ball swooshed to a nearby bush. I went to get it.

"Hey, it's okay. Ako nalang kukuha," a new face said. He was quite tall and charming. A nice first interaction in this new school. I was able to reach the ball without trouble.

"Hindi, ito na oh." I handed the ball to him. He took it and we were standing there, staring at each other for like 15 seconds.

"Bago ka dito? You're not familiar." It's a good thing I'm not familiar.

"Yeah, just transfered today," I replied.

"Welcome to AL Academy!" he said with a charming smile.

"Hoy, balik na dito!" a person afar shouted who looks like a coach, I guess.

He jogged towards the field and I saw him look back with a grin. That's cute.

I continued to find where the dormitory is located since this place is so big. I accidentally bumped into someone.

"Ay grabe, kakalas na nga ako eh," she said. I laughed at her statement. She indeed has a thin figure but she was tall. I guess she is that kind of person who is funny and fun to be with.

"Sorry po!" I apologized.

"Bago ka dito?" she asked. Her facial expressions are priceless.

"Yes and I'm kinda lost eh," I stated. Di ko naman talaga malaman kung saan ako papunta.

"Saan ka ba papunta?"

"Sa girls' dormitory po," I said

"Halangan naman sa boy's," she joked softly but I heard it.

"Huh?" I laughed

"Wala, wala. Tara samahan na kita?" she suggested. We walked together and she was quite talkative. She has a lot to talk about. I just keep on nodding or agreeing.

"Hindi pa pala ako nagpapakilala. My name is Abigail Oliveros," she introduced herself.

"I'm Kirsten Delavin but you can call me Kisses. Is it okay pag tinawag kitang Gale?" I asked. She nodded.

"Anong grade ka na? At bakit gitna ng taon ka nagtransfer?" she asked. I felt sad as I remembered the reason why I left my previous school. I decided to tell her just a bit.

"Ah, grade 8 na ako. Personal reasons and lumipat din kami ng bahay at itong school ay mas malapit," I said with a bit of sadness.

"Ahhh," Gale added," Magkaklase pala tayo. Ano bang dorm room number mo?"

"135," I said.

"AAAHHH!" she squealed excitingly. I was quite shocked.

"Bakit?" May multo ba doon?!" I asked frightened. Takot pa naman ako sa multo.

"Hindi gaga. Magkaroommate tayo! AAAHHH!" she took my hands and jumped up and down in excitement. Nakakahiya pinagtitinginan na kami.

We finally reached the room and we entered. It was a nice and neat room. "Dito ka matutulog sa tabi ko ah," she said.

"Sino natutulog doon sa isang kama?" I asked

"Hindi pa occupied yan," she said. Kaya pala excited ako makasama ng gaga wala palang kasama. I just laughed.

I laid on the bed. "I'll make my life better this time," I thought.
