Unspoken

"Crossing alone the night ferry

With the one coin for free.

Whom, on the wharf of lethe waiting.

Count you to find? Not me." - A.E. Housman

On a cold dark room, under the veil of the moon.

The cold breeze of night softly swept across her face.

Helena slightly shuddered and decided to shut the windows.

Helena softly sighed as she draped the blanket up to her neck.

Slowly eaten by tiredness, Helena closed her eyes and  traveled towards the world called 'dreamland'

*************

Wearing an all black Gothic style uniform, with the skirts reaching her knees Helena stood in front of a human-sized mirror.

Her jet black hair was unrestrained giving an aloof air around her.

Her porcelain-like skin, a slightly blushing cheeks and a thin red lips.

Helena tilted her head and wore her glasses adding into her aloof demeanor.

"Yosh" Helena exclaimed and turn around to pick her bag.

It's already 7:05 in the morning which means Helena still got 55 minutes before class.

*Helena*

As soon as I finished preparing for school, I rushed down the stairs and went straight towards the dining area.

I grabbed the glass full of milk and gulped it quickly.

"Hija, take a sit and enjoy the food. Why must you be in a hurry?"

An old man seating at the middle of a medium-sized dining table with a magazine on his hand spoke.

I smiled and shook my head. "I have to hurry pops, I still have my student council duty"

The old man slowly nodded his head as he sipped his cup of coffee. "You're always like that. When are you going to quit? You're losing quite a lot of time because of that student council duties of yours"

This man, Heneroso Fabian, was my late father's father and the only family I have.

My parents died in an attack 3 years ago, I was 14 years old at that time. At tanging ang lolo ko na lamang ang naiwan kasama ko. My lolo's old at the age of 61 but he's still strong and active. Having him still working his *** out proves it.

"Pops, weren't you the one who told me if I ever started doing something, I must have the guts to finish it?"

I asked him with face full of smiles. Pops nodded his head and sighed. "You're right. Well, just remember not to overwork and exhaust yourself darling"

I raised an eyebrow as I picked a piece bread. "That same goes for you pos. Anyway, I have to go"

I bid and hurried outside shoving the piece of bread unto my mouth.

"Let's go kuya" I kindly asked the family driver and had him sent me to school.

If you're wondering if my family's rich, the answer is no. We're not rich but at least we are able to buy the stuffs we want for ourselves and that is because of my pops and dad's hard work.

In this society, there are four levels of the pyramid. At the top, was the rulers of this world, at the second level were the richest and nobles, at the 3rd were the not so rich, not so powerful but cannot be neglected, in short Average. And at the last level were the common people. We obviously belong to the 3rd level.

Maybe..

As I arrive in front of the school gates, I stepped out and grabbed my things with me as I bid my farewell to Kuya Noli, our driver.

"Good morning vice-pres"

I curved my lips upwards as a member of student council greeted me. I slightly bowed my head and returned her greetings "Good Morning Lucas, are you heading to the office too?"

Lucas Aguire is a student council committee and is in-charge of peace and order.

"Yes. Shall we go together?" He smiled as he asked me. "Sure" I answered and we both headed towards the student council office.

"So how's your duty Lucas? Everything's fine so far?" I initiated the conversation. It's not like I cannot stay still without saying a single word but as someone who had higher position than him, I kinda have the urge to do so.

"Everything's fine Vice-pres. Though, troubles are still there but I can handle it just fine"

I smiled and nodded my head. As soon as we arrived at the student council office, I immediately arrange my things and started working.

Lucas, on the other hand, left the place with his underlings to do the usual morning task.

Completely absorb in my own world, I almost didn't noticed the door creeks open. I raised my head and saw the President entered the office and went straight to his table.

He nodded, I nodded in response. Well this is how we greet each other. I don't know why but I just can seem to get along with him.

As if there was thick invisible barrier between us hindering us from getting along with each other. Having these thoughts, I shrugged my shoulders and resume doing my work.

It was almost time for class when I finished my report and handed it to the president. "Here's the complete data for this years' participant pres."

He took the papers from my hand and slowly nodded his head. "Thanks."

I nodded my head and grabbed my bag. "I'll leave first pres" I excused myself and ran towards my first class.

My duty's rather exhausting but I enjoyed doing it a lot so no matter what I ain't gonna quit.

I saw the teacher getting inside the classroom the same time as me so I rushed towards my seat.

"That was close" My friend, Allison muttered. I smiled and sighed in relief. "Yeah, that was"

Well it's not like I'd be punished if I ever got in late. I am a student council member and we obviously had a lot of privileges. And one of those is, you won't be punished if you're late or you skip class because of your student council duty.

Being a student council member has a lot of privileges but the same goes for the criteria of becoming one.

To be able to enter the student council, one must have the following criteria: High grades, background, talent and skills .

And I fortunately got those criteria with me.

Allison started dragging me towards the cafeteria as soon as the class ended. I let her dragged me as she want since I also feel hungry for I only ate one bread for breakfast.

We were lining up to get our food when multiple shrieks ranged inside the cafeteria. I and Allison both turn our heads to see what was going on.

"What the.." I was about to curse when Allison stare daggers at me. Allison really hates it when I cursed so I stuffed my words back in my throat.

Group of students where in the middle of the cafeteria making troubles again. I immediately went there to meddle but a guy made it faster than me. It was Lucas' underlings.

"Stop this instant!" The man, named Andrew, roared angrily. The hall fell silent as soon as they heard Andrew's domineering voice.

"What happened here?" The guys beside Andrew, Niko asked the crowd. A student stepped up and narrated what happened. It was a typical student face-off to see who has the greater strength. I clicked my tongue and slowly made my way in the middle of the crowd.

"The school had no rules that forbid everyone from battling with each other but it was clearly written in the school handbook that places such as cafeteria, library and any place that students possibly gathered together cannot be used as fighting arena. I believe everyone of you knows this rule no?"

I slowly spoke as my lips slightly curved upwards. The two student who went rampage a while ago both lift their head and glared at me. I raised my brows and smile. Being glared is very common nowadays for me. As if that'll make scare, idiots.

"What? You're still not going to scram? Should I put your names on the blacklist and let you know what's the consequences of not abiding the rules? Or should I have you guys taste a large dose of regrets? " I once again spoke and asked the idiots. They gritted their teeth and left the place as fast as they can.

"Thank you for that Vice pres" Andrew smiled and I shook my head in response "No need to thank me. It was my duty. Anyways, I'll leave the rest to you guys" I smiled as I asked them to clean the place up.

That kind of commotion usually happens inside the school premises and as the time goes by we're getting used to it and how to handle it was already easy fo us.

Allison was standing at the back of the crowd with 2 trays on her hand. She smiled and pointed her chin on the ither tray which contains the food.

"I got your food for you, Helena" I smiled and took it from her hand "Thanks beautiful" She blushed and softly humped. I laugh as we both choose a table for us to eat our food.

"Hey Helena, regarding this year's institutional tournament, why isn't there any news about it yet? When will you guys going to announce it?" Allison asked.

"Hmm we're still working on it. We have yet to gather all the relative informations about this year's participant but announcing it will happen soon" I answered and took another mouthful of food.

Allison nodded "I bet last year's power 10 will remain on the list tho." Allison concluded. I shrugged my shoulders and smile "Not necessarily. Who knows"

Allison shot her brows up and asked "Why? some changes on the rankings? Or any potential strong contenders?"

I slowly nodded my head "Yeah there is but it's still not finalize though. We'll see in the future" I grinned.
