A. An ordinary girl

W-what is this? Am I gonna die? Is he going crazy?

"Paul! Dude! What are you doing scaring a high school girl? Look at you! You're crazy man!" a brown-haired guy who looks like a celebrity kicked the man infront of me who is still laughing.

I am still in awe. What's happening? Did I get to school to be bullied?

"Hey, kiddo! Hey! Which year are you in highschool?" he caught again my attention. Soul came back to me.

"Don't tease her dude! Look at her! She's terrified!" the brown-haired guy said while offering his hand to me. "Are you ok? Don't mind this guy! He's just teasing you. Which year are you now so we can send you there?" his hand still hanging and waiting for me to take it.

"N-no.. I.."

"Freak, what are you doing on the ground?"

I suddenly feel chills behind my back. This voice is familiar...

I look to the guy who is facing the guy who's laughing at me. His hands on the pocket of his jeans. Towering over us. Oh my! Not again...

"Whoah! What's your problem man! Mike what have I ever done with this freak Bricks! Did you wake up in the wrong side of the bed again, Bricks? " Hands-up! Now, this crazy 'Paul' is standing up and facing violent 'Bricks'.

From my view, both seemed to be on the same height, both with good looks, and both are dangerous. The danger sign on me is warning me not to get involve with them.

Still on the ground, I tried to stand up but because of pain on my butt and right foot, I took the brown-haired guy's hand to steady myself.

"Thanks.." I said to the brown-haired guy. He is not as tall as those two who are arguing but he has a beautiful face, more than a girl's face. He might be really a celebrity.

Maybe my flight or fright response is wearing down and my senses is coming back to normal. I was on my thoughts when the 'kind person' named Mike appeared and a little bit confused of the situation. He then looked at me.

"Hey, are you ok? Do you have any pain?" Mike helped me pick up my bag and hold my other hand. Is he concerned about me?

Looking closely, he is really a gentle man and looks smart, too. He is also pretty good-looking like the other three. What in the world is this? Are they friends? I really should not endanger myself anymore. I need to retreat!

"Thanks, uhm..?"

" It's Mike. My name is Mike Chan. "

" And I am Jackey. Not a Chan but Roche. And those two. The short-haired is Paul and the long-haired is Bricks. "

The other two are still arguing. It's finally my chance to retreat! Retreat!!!

"Ah, thanks Mike and Jackey! I'm so sorry for your friend. And I need to go now, my class will begin soon."

Mike handed me my bag. With a bag on my shoulder, a cracked cell phone my left hand, and a limping right foot, I tried to walk fast away from those people... Good thing bunch of students came, so I blended in with them to escape the premises.

"Hey!" I heard the crazy man's voice as I walk fast away from cafeteria.

My heart is pounding. I finally escaped from them. I went to the wash room to wash the stain on my blouse. I'm so careless. I checked myself in the mirror.

Do i really look like a high schooler? I am going to be seventeen next month. I am short and skinny. So maybe, yes. I still look like a high schooler.

Still looking in the mirror..

Sigh! It's ok! I accepted already that I am just an ordinary girl. I tied my hair in a bun, tucked the stained part my blouse in side my jeans, and hanged my bag on my right shoulder.

Hi, Sis! IMY. 1st day of school: sucks w/o you! I hope u're stil here in Manila. Gosh! D boys in my class R annoying! Just leave me alone already! Missing U sooo much Sis!

Sigh. I miss her, too. It's so hard to blend in. I can't even introduce myself clearly infront of the class. Sigh!
