Hmmm Jacob Valdez? Who is this guy? Meh I should just check it later at home, who knows what my professor will do when I get caught using a phone at class.

Our professor just gave us a whole translation. Even it took hours I still couldn't get it; I need brain cells. Why did I even stayed up late watching dramas? What to do? I just shut my eyes and just put my head on my desk.

"...so how does the. s ha...ppen? so... t. he" I really can't understand anything that my professor is saying. My eyes just gave up on it. Aack!! Oh well! I am sleepy now. I'm just going to nap a bit. I don't think my professor would catch me since my seat is at the back side of the class.

"Psst hey... psst Dianna what are you doing?" I hear Maxine whispering beside me.

"Max gahd I'm really sleepy. My eyes just can't keep up with the lesson." I whisper back at her.

"You stayed up all night? Dianna, you keep on doing these things. Look at your face, you're basically a panda or a racoon."

"The drama was so good to watch, I had to stay up for it."

"Then what time did you even sleep?"

"5 am"

"What the-"

"Ehem" and that was our professor. Maxine reacted loudly that she was heard, nice going Max

"Please avoid speaking while I'm having a class"

"Anyway, this kind of~" blah blah blah gahd, why is his voice like that? Sounds so lethargic, it is the kind that makes you want to listen to a lullaby.

"Psst Dianna" whispered by Max

"What? I swear if we get caught again by sir."

"Eh well. Seriously? 5 am? How many hours of sleep did you get? Did you even sleep?"

"Kinda like that, I guess"

"Wow the determination, I applaud you girl. But you looked like a zombie. A while ago you were energetic in telling your lovey dovey first kiss with Blake. For real are you sleepy because of the professor or the drama you watched?"

"Tsss"

"Just kidding pfft"

"Max let's just talk later, okay? I bet sir is-"

"Ms. Zandoval and Ms. Magno! Last Warning!" Called it, relax Dianna, just a few more minutes

Lunch

"Phew finally sir's time is done, no more lecture" It's a bit frustrating why does he teach like that? Lullaby voices, it really makes you sleep.

"You watched drama all night, that just added up to your drowsiness." Maxine giving me a nudge on the shoulder.

"Bess come on let's all hurry, I don't want to wait in line, there might not be any food left with all of your talking." Ella runs while pulling all of us, completely dragging us haha. We just let go of her hand she went zooming towards the cafeteria. Yes, school cafeteria, our school has those, one of the few things I am thankful for. Our food is served in trays and quite good delicacies if I'm being honest wow. Well, it is included in our tuition, so it is a no choice for us, unless we bring our own food at school. The food just tastes so great here... top quality as the others says, well I'll admit, the food is second to my cooking. A little bit of bragging from time to time, just give me my moment readers.

"Hmmm... Beef stew, rice, Mashed Potato, Lasagna, and our drinks is either milk or orange juice in a carton" Maine can't hide the excitement of all the wonders of the food being offered today.

See! Our lives here are just going well, if you are asking how in the world, I got into this school is because of my good academic grades. In my last school I was one of the top honored students that's why I got myself a scholarship in this prestigious school it was hard for my parents since we just live in a normal life. HR is the course that me and my friends took for university, and I want to become a health service manager one day. And of cour-... Why are the students besides us are so noisy? What are they even saying? I'm giving a background check of myself here!

"Do you hear what they are saying? They're making too many noises." I whispered with a glint of frustration from their noise.

"Them? The table beside us, right?" Maxine replies in a provocative way that she even points at the other table. Of course, I quickly put her hand down because it is embarrassing. "Ah because there is someone- Wait don't tell me you guys haven't heard the news yet?" Maxine replies with confusion.

"What news?" says Ella

"Is it today, Max?" Maine quickly hops on the conversation

"What do you mean today? Just spill the beans already!?" Ella is getting all worked up with the tension around us.

"You guys really don't know? Even you Dianna? No clue at all?"

"I got nothing Max" I said with a soft reply with a sip of my milk.

"That's why we're asking you Max, now spill it." Ella is not in a good mood; I could tell you that.

"Guys we have a new transferee coming to this school. HR is also his course, but I'm not quite sure what class is he going to be in." Maxine says it in a calmly manner, like for real? She hyped us for that. What's the big deal with this transferee though? A star? Son of a governor?

"Eh? So what? Rich kid? Son of a mayor? President? Friend of a star?" Ella replies with more confusion than me. Well, she read my mind like an open book. Great minds do think alike haha.

"Handsome?" We all looked at Maine surprisingly when she said that. Come to think of it, is he handsome?

"They have like a huge company in the US, almost all other companies are in it and their shares are incomparable. I think his brother is also coming here as a transferee soon.

Ahh so that's why there are a lot of talks about the guy, sounds interesting.

"He has an older brother?" Maine just keeps asking so suddenly that it gets us so bad.

"Hey, don't tell me Maine, you already like the guy even without seeing him yet? Just focus on your studies haha you are still our baby." Max just loves to tease Maine. We were all surprised with Maine's answers, but we all have our own preferences so yeah, no big deal.

"Hahah sure study I'll do that. But guys, there's only like 5 mins for our lunch, we might be late if we don't get back now." Oh, my gahd, we were focused on the story telling and chit chats that we might be late. We didn't even finish our lunch yet. ARGHH!

We quickly gobbled up our lunch. Ourr next subject is History, I don't like it, but I have no choice. The professor is also a terror ugh. School is school.

End of Lunch Break

We went out of the cafeteria and on our merrily skipped to class. Who wouldn't with a full stomach right?

"The food was so good; I think I'm going to explode" While Ella's holding her tum tums.

"I agree on that" Followed by Maine. And here comes Maxine hurrying and pushing us so we could go faster to our classrooms.

"Yeah, you guys are full, too heavy for me to push haha"

"Eh why are you pushing us then? You're the one struggling not us haha" Jokingly I smile to Max while sipping my milk.

"I'm already used to struggling with people" Maxine replies

"Wow strong woman? hahahah" As Ella flexes her imagination muscles hahaha.

I want to go to the restroom first so I could fix my make up, I feel like my face is haggard. Girls treat yourself with self-care. Love yourself. No, I'm not a BTS army sorry hahaha. We should be beautiful, like me. Jk just give me this chance to motivate myself.

"Hey Bess, I need to go and fix my make up first. You guys go on ahead, okay?" And I ran towards the stairs because below it is the restroom for females. As soon I turned the corner, something hard hit my head. Not too hard, looks like a chest of someone. We both fell because of the impact of me running.

"Mi-Miss are you okay? Are you hurt somewhere?" Wait, what did he say? Why is this happening? Even though he is talking, my head just automatically cancels it. All I know is that in these seconds I have been staring at him. Wait what am I doing? His eyes just get me, but where have I seen those before? Familiar? ARGH, erase that from your mind Dianna.

As I looked away from him, my face was feeling warm. Am I blushing?

He stood up first from the fall that happened.

"Miss are you okay? Your face is red, are you sick by any chance?" As he reaches his hand to help me get up. Wow he's a gentleman. Plus, points maybe?

"No no no, I'm fine" Yet I shoved his hand to get up on my own. I got up and just went on my way to the restroom and closed the door behind me as I enter from the embarrassing moment that happened. I looked at the mirror to see that my face is red. Why am I red?

"Okay Dianna, you are fine. I'm okay. You just bumped into someone" While I put my make up back and trying to remove the stain and smell of the milk on my polo shirt.

"Argh! Why is the stain not removing? I have to get going before I get late."

I ran out of the restroom and as I went to the classroom, I passed by from the place that the incident happened with the guy from earlier. I didn't even ask his name.

Dianna what are you thinking right now?! I need to hurry now.

As I went through the corridor the professor looked at me as I pass him by. I didn't greet him, and I just went in the room through the backdoor to avoid being seen by the other students. Phew I went by fast, good grief. Hehe little flex over here.

My friends greeted me with uneasy eyes, staring right at my polo.

"Ey what happened? Why is your polo wet, on your chest and it's milk?" Maxine was just helping me with removing the stain

"OMG Don't tell me you're a mom already? who's the father? hahaha just kidding'" I want to slap Ella right now, grrrrrrr.

"Well, I bumped into someone as I turned on the corner of the stairs, then we both fell to the ground and the milk spilled on my polo." They just all nodded from my explanation because they all know that I have some clumsy moments like running and then bumping to people.

"I'm just going to close my coat, so it won't show" Yes you heard me guys, we have school coats

"Good afternoon class" says our professor as he enters the room, we greeted him back. But our adviser also came in? I wonder why? Maybe another announcement, I guess.

"Good afternoon my children, you can all sit down now. Sir can you please allow me to announce something to the class." Awwwww our adviser is so sweet. We love him so much.

"I just have an announcement to make, you guys probably heard about the transferee coming from the US. The family of the transferee is also a big partner of our school, for they handle all the scholarships and other funded projects of students. That's why a lot of you guys are lucky."

"Wow their influence is big huh, even here Bess, even your scholarship is held by that family" Maxine whispers while the announcement is made.

"Yeah, looks like we have to be careful of that transferee" I replied to her. huhu Why do I feel like I'm afraid of something when I shouldn't even be?

"We all know that it is from our same department. And I'm glad to announce HE IS IN OUR CLASS!"

Suddenly the class went outburst with mixed feelings, some are happy, scared, anticipating, some are anxious like me hehe.

Seriously? Our class? We are so lucky; we have another handsome guy. The shouting of people in the room just turned it into a zoo.

"Okay okay calm down kids, even I was shocked that we have a new family member. Should I call him now?

"Yes sir!" Everyone shouts in unison like in a choir, it's like an idol is about to come in.

"You may come in please."
