Chapter 2: Start

Beatrice Nash's P.O.V.

"Arghh" I said as I struggled getting up from my bed and immediately looked at the digital clock which is on top of my pretty bedside table. I stretched my arm to wake myself up and looked around me. I sighed, the campus dormitory, well, another day thrown into the trash bin.

I started preparing myself for classes. I just wore a high-waist, black-fitted jeans, paired with a black crop top shirt and I also wore an olive-green colored bomber jacket which is also cropped. For the accessories, I just wore a dog tag necklace that most in the armies wear, and a black watch. I got my white sneakers and a dark green colored sling bag that I prepared last night and rechecked if my identification card was there. After being satisfied with my look, I got my keys and left the dorm.

I went straight to the dorm's cafeteria at the first floor for my breakfast, and... It was noisy. I rolled my eyes because of irritation. I saw girls in groups, eating their breakfast. I sighed, probably their with their dorm mates.

I'm jealous. I mean, when will I get to meet my dorm mate? I haven't seen her yet. Since yesterday that I arrived in this school, I was already annoyed. I didn't really want to attend this school, but my dad is persistent and he just wont stop bugging me. He said that I have the talent for these stuff so I should attend this - for the company or else he will give my inheritance to the charity. Like, that would even happen. Not with his monarchic attitude. Nope, not in a million years.

I hate my situation right now. Like, duh?! I should be in Paris, studying fashion, which is, by the way, my passion! Ohhh, that rhymes. Whatever. Anyways, back to my dorm mate - which I haven't seen yet, not even her shadow- I guess she probably didn't arrive? Because if she did, where the hell did she slept last night? She wasn't there. And, it would be rude for my part if she didn't even introduced herself to me.

Right. I can recall that I was about to get the bed that I liked when I noticed some personal stuffs already placed there so... She's probably here, but where did she go last night? Well, not my business.

Well I guess I'm all alone then. I finished my breakfast as fast as I could and went straight to the stadium where the sorting will happen. I scanned my identification card and looked at the adjacent hologram-like screen and saw my name with my picture along with the seat number where I was located to seat and a small map to guide me where to go.

Did I mention that this school is very techy? I heard that all of the secretly approved and proven super advanced technologies all over the planet were sent here for the use of the school and it's students. Well, of course they will give it to this school, since the student and professors themselves also studies them and improve them.

Sleuth Academy. That was the name of the school. I took a glance on the screen onstage and looked at the logo of the school. I'm really in. Oh well, at least my permanent seat in the stadium is a good seat. Lucky me.

"The Sleuth academy is for people with excellent brains and thinking. It trains to rule. Train for knowledge , for power, for truth." the same line goes over and over along with the words: "Sleuth Academy: A school for future leaders".

I was starting to get bored when finally, the stadium is filled, although no one is in my row, which is peculiar. I became alert when the whole place suddenly became quiet as I saw a group of boys and girls walking while wearing warm smiles.

I was just watching them as talk ,since they ooze in an authoritative aura, when I noticed something weird... Are they going to my direction?

Then it hit me, every row consists of 15 chairs. I was sitting at the end, we have 14 chairs left. I took a quick scan at the whole stadium. Every seat was taken, if not all, there were no seat that are available for a group of... I counted them. Twelve. Geez. They're getting closer. I tried to hid my face as they approach me and pretended that I didn't see them.

Everything was fine when suddenly I felt small tap on my shoulder. I swear I can already hear the whispers of people, even their gazes at me. Oh God, did I bump into someone important? Or popular? Well then, I take it back! I don't like this seat! Someone, please, trade seats with me!

"Hi!"

I heard a very soft and calming voice of a girl - it's tempting, but no. I. WILL. NOT. LOOK. Well, that was until I saw a face in front of me.

Gosh, this is embarrassing.

I just gave her a shy smile and replied in a whisper, "Hi"

She beamed. "I'm your dorm mate! I'm sorry I wasn't able to introduce myself. I know that was rude of me, please forgive me for that? Don't worry! I do have my reasons! Wait! I'm Miranda Fritz. Andy for short. I'm 19. Second year. I'm a ONE. How about you? What is your division? Oh wait, you are a freshie! Sorry! Don't worry you will know your division soon! Although you probably aren't going to be a ONE because we will decide it... Anyways! About my reason, sorry I didn't greet you yesterday! We had works to do so I came home late and didn't get a chance to talk to you because I left really ear-"

Wow. She talks... A lot. I was getting myself ready for more stories from her when she was cut off by a guy behind her. He looks.. rigid, but calm. He looked at me but his face was void of any emotions. What an authoritative aura. Whew!

"Don't be such a kill joy boss" Andy said, but the guy did not mind her voice that has a hint of annoyance already, instead he told her to stop bothering me.

"Sorry about Andy, she's just talkative and all but she's nice."

Funny how he can say that without any emotions visible in his face but you can feel that he is kind and gentle... That, he genuinely care.

I looked at him, making sure to make him notice that I was waiting for him to introduce himself, and he seems like he noticed it. Good because he's... my type.

"No need for introductions. This will probably be the last time we get to talk. Better not bother"

After he said that, he turned his back on me... Well, that was rather hot. But rude.

"He's Alexander, but we call him Lex, but you cannot call him that since he only allows us, his comrades, and his friends to call him that. Don't mind him, he's just being an ass"

She seems like she was about to say something when the lights were dimmed. She took her seat as we watch a person who is walking towards the podium at the stage.

"Good morning Ladies, gents, I am Ms. Tabitha, at your service."

The room was then filled with cheers and flirty comments. Well, I can't blame them, especially the boys since Ms. Tabitha is really pretty. She has auburn hair and she's got a nice body.

I looked at my row, the boys were just smiling but you can see that they are not interested, except for one that has a blonde hair. Who might he be? Never mind.

"Shush. " she said, trying to silence the crowd. When the crowd were already calm, she chuckled and continued her talk.

"As I was saying, I am standing here in front of you all to introduce the freshies to their divisions and for all of you to have time together." She smiled, "but before that, I will give you a background about the school program, what to expect and what the divisions are for. I'm not gonna discuss about the school rules and the history of the school since it was discussed already yesterday, understood?"

Everybody answered, "yeah" or "yes"

"Good. Now, without further a do, " she signaled someone from the side of the stage as she walked to the right side of the stage and after that a presentation can be seen on a big screen on the stage.

"Lets start"
