Chapter 2: Chapter 2
White ceiling, blue walls and painted floor, sounds of students gossiping, greetings hi and hellos - a scene i will be having for the next years. I am currently inside my room with Gideon with two other girl friends who happen to find something interesting with Gideon and I so they sat beside us. These two girls seem nice but they're too quiet for us. Lol Apparently, after a few minutes our homeroom adviser came in.
Thissss will be a long day. I thought as i knew there will be plenty of introductions for the next subjects. I watched and listened as each of my classmates introduced themselves. One from the province, from a private school, from a public school, a scholar, part of the football team...
We were seating at the back so Gideon and I have ample time to prepare. "Hi! I'm Thea from this school too. 17 and I like music and arts. I also joined the chorale of this school and I’m hoping we could all be friends!" One of them introduced, of course we'll all be friends. I laugh at that.
We're almost fortyish and i think this will be a big class. "Gideon Anthony, I'm 17 and i like literature, music and politics that's why i choose this class. I also am a member of the debate team in my previous school and orgs like that. Nice to meet you all" Gideon introduced with a wide smile. This guy really loves exposing himself, so do I.
I stand and find words to say... "Hello. I'm Maxine, you can call me Max. Same age as you all and I like social sciences, i am not well skilled in music and arts though. So yeah. Hope we could--" The door burst open, interrupting my introduction. I don’t like being interrupted!!
The spot is on me helllooo!!. A girl opened the door, her black wavy hair was a messed basically because of running on the way here, I guess, but still at its place. She has this coffee-colored eyes that seems to entrant me, a rosy cheek that makes me want to pinch it and her ...
My thoughts were again stopped when she spoke."Sorry im late." she then proceeded to some other students at the front. Oh! She already has friends here. Now I feel lonely, well, I have Gideon. The teacher seemed to notice that I was still standing and let me continue what I was doing..."yeah, hope we could be all friends, for a good year." I finished what I was going to say and take a look at her surprised to see that she was looking at me intently. She better figured I was not pleased by her interruption.
Other classes went with the same introductions over and over again. I got bored and noticed how these people were a bunch of talented and intellectual human beings. I guess I am in the right room. Surrounded by smart people is what I really like to be, there would always be a lesson from these people. Our teachers seemed to be enthralled by our group too. All mentioning we all are diverse but indeed, a good class and hoping that all of us will passed and get honors.
Oh, I can smell competition! Gideon just smirked beside me basically knowing what's on my mind already.

Weeks passed by and I am so loving these people in my class. They outsmart me at some point, making me questioned myself however, these are good kind or questioning. Like I wanted to be more. More than who I am. And I think these people should be the ones we should surround ourselves with, people who adds up to our growth. My world was changing. And I adapt to it easily. I like how it goes. I liked how I learned the city life. How I deal with people same or higher than my age and learned to socialize more and empathize with everyone.
This was a good kind of change. I told myself I should not be kept in a hole in the province, and that I deserved to explore more of what life has to offer. we should all have that mindset. What excites me more are the boys and surprisingly girls that shows interest in me. This
might be so excitingggg!!!
