Episode 1

Zyrille's POV:

"I want to go home now..." I said while writing in my notebook.

"Me too..." My best friend said which is my seatmate.

"Come on you two it's still only 9:00 am and you two want to go home now??" Henry's said, also my seatmate.

"It's the first period of our subject, and it's math" I said.

Mathematics is the worse subject ever! Every time I hear mathematics my whole day would be ruined and the worse part? Our teacher is strict! She may be young and beautiful, but she's a terror teacher.

"Yeah, learning mathematics will get me headache. You're lucky Henry, your smart of that subject."

"Come on Katherine, I'm not smart HAHAHA" Henry laugh as he said it to my best friend.

"Yeah whatever, your parents are civil engineers. Their IQ maybe pass onto you" Katherine said.

"Can I ask, does civil engineers are smart of mathematics?" I ask.

"Ha? I thought you knew Zyrille."

"I don't know, what Furthermore, I only know about them is they build a house. Answer my question now!"

"Yeah, they are so smart. They even know algebra."

Algebra? I can’t even solve a single problem without Henry’s help I guess his parents really passed on their high IQ to him! Henry is our math teacher’s favorite student too; he can answer every math problem easily, like a total genius. But I know his weakness hehe... Science!

My best friend is a genius at science, though not on the level of famous scientists like Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein. Katherine’s favorite subject is science, which is why she loves studying all sorts of scientific topics that I don’t know much about.

As for me? I don’t know what subject I’m good at yet. I used to just copy from my friends, but now sometimes they even take time to teach me, so I can understand the lessons better, and they actually love teaching me too! Furthermore, I love my friends so much, we have a small circle of friends and that means the world to me.

Later on, our math teacher arrived. We all stand up and greeted him.

"Class, listen up everyone. We have an important meeting in the principal's office today because there's a special guest visiting our school. So that means no activities or quizzes for you all today, got it? But make sure you remember this, tomorrow we'll have a quiz on everything I taught you this week, so please make sure to study hard and go over your notes carefully!" ma'am Alison said.

She left. It made my smile grew wider, yes! We don't have to answer anything today!

"Everyone where is the secretary here, you need to check our school attendance!" one of our classmates shout.

"I think our secretary is absent" Kat said to my classmates.

Our secretary is Cindy, she’s part of our small circle of friends. She’s a total social butterfly and pretty famous on social media too! Her mom used to be a well-known actress, but she’s going to retire soon.

"Why did she absent? She got sick?" Henry asks.

"What about you text him Zyrille" Kat said to me.

"Ok! Wait.".

I texted him.

Me: Why are you absent, Cindy?

I waited her to reply.

Cindy Lareigh: My mom and I have a photoshoot in her industry, I know all our classmates finding me now to check the attendance. Please, can you check the attendance?

Me: Sure bebes

Cindy Lareigh: Thank you

I put my phone carefully in my pocket. Then I walked over to our advisor’s table to take the attendance for our class. I checked through the list one by one to make sure I accounted for all our classmates. When I looked at my name on the attendance sheet, it still read Elyse Zyrille Sandra. I had just gotten married four days prior, so it is supposed to be Elyse Zyrille Montigo now, but they did not know yet. After going through every name twice, I guessed everyone was present and on time except Cindy, who is absent.

After that I went back to my seat.

"Why was she absent today Zyrille?" Kat asks

"Her mom and him had a photoshoot" I said showing our texts in the phone.

There's no doubt they have a photoshoot together, they are a mother-daughter who's in fame.

"Guyssss, intramural is coming soon"

Intramural? I didn't know intramural is coming soon! It is my favorite event school! Oh, gosh this is exciting!

"I wonder if Zyra's big brother will join in the badminton competition"

"He will join Katherine! He's our only badminton player in our small circle of friends!" Henry said that made my best friend smile.

I think he likes Zyra's big brother??

Zyra has been our friend since Grade 8, and she’s part of our small circle. She has an older brother who also joined our group, and he’s like a big brother to all of us. He truly acts the part, and he’s so sweet and caring!

"Do you like big brother Zyro kat??" I tease.

"N-no way! I-I... I saw him as a big brother to us..."

She was blushing? I knew it! She likes him but won't admit, you can't hide away your feelings Kat he-he.

"Your lying" I said as I tease more.

"I don't really like him!" she shouts.

"Calm down Katherine, Zyrille is just teasing at you HAHAHA and why your faced is so red like tomato?" Henry said as he said in teasing tone.

"Because she's blushing HAHAHAHAHAHA" I said that made me laugh so much.

"Aghhh you twooooo"

Minutes later Henry and I stopped teasing Katherine.

I know she likes Big brother Zyro! She is even blushing whenever we mentioned his name!

"But waitttt, I heard that Zyro had a girlfriend now. But I don't if it's the true, it'd just humor-humor in the Campus" Henry said and look at Katherine.

Did he purposely said that to Kat??

"W-why your telling me? I don't care if big brother Zyro had a girlfriend" Kat said to Henry.

But she looks hurt or sad?

"Anyways! I'm excited want to see Cindy in the pageant!" she said to distract himself from hurting, I guess?

"Does intramural is only sports right?" I ask.

How can intramural have a pageant? It is not even a sport.

"Yes it is, but pageant is the opening ceremony of intramurals!"

"So Cindy will going to represent grade 12??" I ask.

"Yeah! Let's enjoy the intramurals! This is the last year we're going to be high school."

Yeah... I want to go back to Grade 7, when all our friendships started and how our small circle built so many more connections with others.
