The day before the registration...

Hermann's mansion

《Aireen Hermann》

"Do you need any help?" My adorable little sister, Aira offered her help as soon as she entered my bedroom. She then took a sit on my bed right in front of me as I was packing my stuff into the luggage.

"Ummm...no thanks, I already finished packing" I politely declined while patting her hair gently. "But...I might need your help with my personal documents," I quickly said before she could make her sad face for declining her offer.

"Yeay...I would love to," she cheered with an excitement. She grabbed several of my personal documents and certificates from the small chair beside of the bed then jumped into the bed again to start the work. My little sister suddenly sat straight, looking at me with a very proud-face. "You're definitely my role model, you know that..."she said with thumbs up.

I giggled a bit, "What do you mean by that?"

"Well, you're a genius just like brother Nick, no doubt about that," she replied while checking all of my personal documents one by one. "Just look at your achievements...wow it were so impressive!"

She completely made me blushed so much when she said that.

"I really want to be like you, big sis..." she continued, looking at me with puppy eyes.

"Come here..." I said to her while giving her a warm hug. "Then stop slacking off, Aira, if you want to be like me and brother Nick. Study more and be smart...I know you can do it." I pinched gently on her chubby cheeks.

"Alright then, big sis! I will try my best, I promise!" she replied me with a big grin but her expression changed again as soon as she saw my school application letter. "I will miss you, Aireen..."

"Aww..." I grabbed her into a hug again. "Don't be like that. I will come home every school holiday, I promise. And you too, Aira...come visit me often okay?" I cupped her chubby face then kissed her in forehead.

She just nodded as a reply with teary eyes, then hugged me once again tightly.

"Let's eat breakfast...I bet daddy is waiting for us," I suggested.

Nick arrived at my house as promised when I was having breakfast with my dad and little sister.

"Oh, Nick...come join us," my dad invited her as soon as he saw Nick came into the dinning room.

Brother Nick is actually my cousin and he is super close to me and my little sister. He is like a big brother to me and always protect me from any trouble.

Nick wore white shirt underneath of his black blazer matched with a pair of black slacks; the formal uniform of St Academy. Yup St John Academy, the most prestige high school in LA. I already made some researches through the school website and they are offering a very comfortable and luxry dorms for every students which two person per dorm to be precise. Besides, the also provided several facilities such as gym, soccer field, basketball court and even a large swimming pool, but the most excited me much is their huge library with high speed wifi. That place will be my all time favourite place soon!

For the cafeteria, I heard that they served different menus everyday and also different varieties of cuisines such as eastern, western and many more.

Next, the school provided several type of uniforms, For guys, there will be short sleeve shirt, blue long shirt , a black vest and blazer where there will a school logo on the right side of the blazer. There also two type of neck ties, a maroon color tie and horizontal-stripped dark blue color which they can choose either one of that. For the girls, the shirts are the same as the guys' but they have to wear black skirt instead of the slack pants. And based on Nick's attire, that was the formal uniform which all the students required to wear it during the formal assembly every Monday.

"Thank you, Uncle," Nick replied politely, while taking a seat beside me. He looked so handsome in that uniform with his hair was now short and smart which better than the last Christmas.

"Aireen...I guess I can't follow you to the office today since I have an urgent meeting with the head dorms." And yes, our genius cousin is one of the head dorms. The school has two head dorms for both guys and girls' dorm. And, surprisingly one of the head girls' dorm is Nick's girlfriend, Taylor which I really wish I can be under her dorm when I registered to the school.

"Hmmm, that's unfortunate," I felt a bit disappointed. "But that's okay, I think I can handle myself,"

《Adam Blake》

I sneakily went inside of my class, carefully so that my homeroom teacher would not see me. But suddenly, "Adam!" Seira called my name in furious.

Shoot!

"Why are you late again, huh?!"she continued, luckily my homeroom teacher was busy with other students who approached his table to submit their homework.

Seira Johnson, my old crush was sitting in front of me, turned to look at me with an angry face for coming late to the morning class. And of course she was sitting beside of her boyfriend, Sam.

"I'm helping a new transfer student," I answered her, rummaging inside of my backpack to look for my homework which I have to submit it today. Sean was sitting beside of me on my right side and as usual he was taking a nap...why is this guy always sleepy anyway? I put my backpack on an empty chair on my left side after found my school homework then passed it to Seira as she was about to left her seat to give her homework to our homeroom teacher. "Thanks!" I grinned widely and of course she replied me with a glare.

Whatever!

Seira went back to her seat again, then faced to look at me again, "You overslept again, aren't you?" Damn, this girl wouldn't believe me no matter what I'd say to her. "I still can't believe that you used that kind of excuse...just be logical what kind of student transferred to another school in the middle of the semester anyway."

Ugh...whatever....she never believe my words. Only Sam this....Sam that....Sam is always right.....ughhh I totally want to puke right now when remembered all of that.

*knocks on door*

Aireen?

The principal just came into our class with Aireen followed her from behind. I...I....*clears throat*.....seriously I just can't believe she is in my class too. What a coincidence.

She was already in her school uniform and looked so cute in it. Ehh...what was I thinking! I...I only lie Sierra..yeah only her and no one can change it.

"Okay guys...seems like we have a new friend here," our homeroom teacher said with Aireen was standing next to him, curving a beautiful smile to all of us. "Her name is Aireen Hermann and just transferred here from London. Since it's already in middle of the semester, I want all of you be nice and help her to catch up the syllabus, understand???"

"Yes, sir...." All of my classmates replied.

She introduced herself properly in front of the class and looked so polite and friendly too.

Totally reminded me of my dream this morning since her voice sounded a bit the same with the girl in my dream.

I heard Sierra whispered something to Nia who was sitting beside of Sean about the childhood thingy....or whatever. I can't hear properly since my focus only to the voice of Aireen. She has such an angelic voice.

But suddenly, I heard someone that annoyed me so much, coming from the back of the class, "Hey guys...take a look at her eyes. She looks like an alien!!"

I turned to look at her again, and saw her looked down to the floor, totally avoiding making eyes contact with all of us. Maybe she was trying to hide her unique looking eyes.

"Hey you idiot!!!" Nia, Sierra's best friend suddenly shouted. "She is beautiful and don't ever call her that, or you will have to deal with me!" That girl totally woke Sean up who was napping in the class.

"You're too loud..."He complained while yawning and even stretching his arms before turned to look at Nia. "Can you speak properly and not shouting like that..."

"Ughhh be quiet, you lazy guy," Nia replied with a glare.

"And me!!!" This time Sierra shouted, totally agreeing with Nia's statement.

Why are they defending the new girl? That's weird because they never care about any new girl who transferred to this school. Waiitt....wait, I think I remember something. Sierra had told me before about her old friend that moved to London. I guess that girl is her old friend.

"She is my old friend, if you mess with her, then you will have to deal with me and Nia!!!" Sierra continued.

Okay, that statement just answered my question.

Sam Brody, like always acting like a cool guy which just playing with his phone totally showed no interest with the whole situation. That stupid coolness of his, made many girls were crazy about him.

My eyes still onto that cute girl in front of my class. Poor Aireen who already has someone picked on her on her very first day at school too. I guess, it is my job to protect her well, since she is a friend to Sierra and Nia, that's mean she's a friend to me too.

"Just ignored them, Ms Hermann..."My homeroom teacher tried to consult her. "Please do take a seat anywhere which empty....we will begin our class shortly."

Anywhere which empty? Wait a second!!! The only empty chair is....u-umm....beside me, She's going to sit beside of me!

Why am I feel so excited??? What a silly I am....maybe because she talked with British's slang, the slang that I found it sexy to hear.

Aireen slowly walked closer to my lane then took a seat on the empty chair beside of me without even taking a glance at me. She then put out a notebook from her backpack then focused on in front without even care to take a look at me at all.

Why didn't she look at me? Did I do something wrong to her?

I sighed heavily then turned to my right side where Sean was trying to take a nap again. And with my mischievousness, I purposely disturbed him by poking his cheek and held my laughter when heard him groaned and complained like a little kid.

《Aireen Hermann》

"Hey guys...take a look at her eyes. She looks like an alien!!" I heard someone rudely shouted at me after I introduced myself in front of the class. I almost cry when suddenly I heard someone defended for me.

I looked up to see the person who defended for me and it turned out someone who familiar to me. A blonde hair girl with a pair of blue eyes.

She is Nia Edwin!! She is an old friend of mine...Oh God, I'm so glad that I'm in the same class with someone that I know. But then, I saw a very familiar dark brown hair guy was looking at me.

He's in my class too? I-I...just can't believe it. My old crush is in the same class with me. I don't know if I can face him properly without blushing or stuttering. I saw him glare at the guy who was calling me an alien and he looked so angry about that.

I actually concerned about me.....I ummm....please don't blush...please not this time. I quickly moved my gaze down to the floor, hoping that none of my classmates see my red cheeks as I was practically blushing right now.

I heard another girl tried to defend me and as I looked up, she was happened to be my old friend too, Sierra Johnson. Honestly, I don't mind being called with names such as alien or weird eyes since I have gotten used to it. But seeing my friends and my old crush were defending of me...that I wasn't still not used to it.

My new homeroom teacher asked me to pick any empty seat in the classroom after advised me to ignore the other students' bad jokes. But the problem is...the only seat which empty was right next to him!!

Oh God, I think I can't handle myself if I sat beside of him. What if I blushed all over again and stutter badly or even worse, fainted?

What am I supposed to do?

I took a deep breath then braced myself to take a seat beside of him. I slowly sat on the chair, without even taking a glance to him, not even once. I could see him was staring at me through the corner of my eye but I just ignored him, in case there will be something bad happen.

He seemed kind of disappointed a bit with me and made me felt guilty about that.

Sorry, Adam. I just didn't mean to do this to you. I hope you won't be mad at me.

Adam turned to his other side where there was another guy who was about to take a nap and being him who full with mischiefs, he disturbed his friend by poking his friend's cheek who was trying to take a nap several times, then burst out of laughter when saw his friend got piss off of him.

"Hey Aireen....long time no see," Sierra who sat right in front of me whispered to me along with a warm smile and there was a brown hair guy who sat beside of her; the guy who I met with an annoying smirk at the stairs earlier. "Why didn't you tell me that you moved back here?"

I curved a guilty smile, "Sorry about that...I didn't mean for not to tell you."

"That's okay," she waved her hand a little then curved a smile again. "That's Nia, if you didn't see her," She then pointed her hand toward Nia's direction who sat beside of the sleepy guy.

I waved at Nia then gave her a small smile since I couldn't talk to her as she was sitting a little bit far from me.

But then, I automatically became frozen when accidentally looked into a pair of beautiful grey eyes.

"Hi..." he greeted me first along with his charming smile. "I'm Adam Blake...sorry I didn't get my chance to introduce myself earlier..."

Seriously, I don't know what to say to him since I already knew him, but I have to anyway, I have to say something so that he will not get offend.

"Hello...I-I'm Aireen Hermann.." See that? He just made me stuttered again!

He then smiled again, the smile that totally made my heart skipped its beat. "Welcome to this school, Aireen,"
