Elona's POV
I slowly opened my eyes and the very white ceiling immediately opened up to me, this is not my room. That's right, I left my aunt so… where am I?
Am I dead? Is this what they call the afterlife?
I suddenly clung to my head because it suddenly hurt and I slowly got up from my bed. I'm not dead yet.
Why is my body so sore? I once held on to my leg. I winced when I suddenly realized the extreme pain that came from it.
“But wait? Where am I?" I once wandered across this room. Based on its appearance, I was hospitalized. Wait? Why did they bring me here?
I was about to leave my seat on the bed when suddenly my wound hurt even more.
“Ouch!” I cried, “But where am I? It's impossible for him to take me out of the province just like that, ” because before you can go to the hospital in our province, you will have to wait a few more days, before a vehicle passes by to go to the city.
I just went back to the reality when someone suddenly speaking on my side causing me to immediately turn around there.
"Excuse me Ma'am, are you okay?" the woman asked me. I was right away because of its inherent beauty, I think she is the nurse here. Based on what she is wearing right now. It's a good thing I was able to go to elementary school and I don't think I'm too ignorant about things like this.
"Ma'am?" She asked again reason to get me back to reality.
"Ah--yes, I feel fine," I replied to her question, which was still being asked. If she's not just a nurse, she can join beauty pageants, I guess.
"B-But, can I ask a question?" I am embarrassed to promise him with my hand on my neck. "Of course," she replied me with a smile on her lips. She is really beautiful.
"Where am I now?" I asked her confusedly, "I don't have enough money to pay for your treatment of me here at the hospital." I was still embarrassed to tell her, she turned her gaze to me with a frown.
“Hospital? This is not a hospital Ma’am, you are here at the Dankworth University clinic now. Someone saw you lying in the field unconscious. So he brought you here to the clinic. ” she explained to me at length while my brain was still trying to process everything sheh was saying.
"I-It's impossible that I'm in a university, there's no university near town," I said confusedly back to her, "Huh? Town? What are you saying there? We can't leave this university. As long as we don't finish our degree. ” At once she took her belongings to the side of the table and looked again at my direction.
"Can I know who brought me here?" I just asked her so that I could change the subject.
"I don't know who, because when I came here you were lying there in the bed already.” she explained to my question as if it was going to irritate her so I just chose to keep quiet and try to calm myself down.
“Ah — is that so? All right, thank you very much, ” I politely promised her and she left for good. At the same time, a heavy breath came out of my mouth.
Even though my muscles were still sore I forced myself to get up from my sitting on my bed. At the same time, I walk to the door and slowly opened it.
“Wow…”
Is this true? Is this what they call a University like the one Lia studies? I can't believe, I feel overwhelmed because of the size of this school.
Their area is very wide and on the side of the field there are placed chairs and its design is purely flowers only, and on its side there are also flowers and its colors vary.
At every seat you pass you can see tall trees because they serve to cover the heat of the people here.
Amazing!
From where I stand now, you can see the whole university. Is the fee for students here is expensive?
Its structures are very large and the materials used to build them are obviously expensive too.
I just went back to reality when I heard people whispering by my side.
"Eww, who’s that?"
"Is that a new student again?"
"Hey, Man, new girl again, maybe she’s the transferee, she’s hot."
“Court her then, HAHAHA! ”
"What kind of soap did she use on her face?"
Those are just some of what I have heard, but others I do not understand. It's as if I don't live in the Philippines.
I just stepped away from those people who were gathering because it was embarrassing that they were all looking at me. I don't want attention.
“Where should I go now?" I have no desire to blame myself.
"Umm, are you Miss Elona?"
"Oh, horse!" I suddenly promised out of shock, who is this guy?
"Y-Yes, I'm Elona, but how did you know my name?" I politely promise. I think we’re almost in the same age but even if we're the same age, I still need to be polite so that I won't be reprimanded for being rude.
"Umm — because you already enrolled in this University.” why do I feel like he's nervous?
"Here's your dorm key and don't be too polite on me, we’re at the same age." I wondered as I accepted the key he handed me.
"I don't have anything to pay," I replied as I handed back the key to him. It suddenly make him laugh at what I did. Is anything funny? Or, maybe he just have some issues in his brain?
"What's funny—"
"You don't have to pay for anything, it's all free." My eyes immediately widened because of what he just said.
“R-Really? I won't even pay a penny? ” I couldn't believe I asked him so he just nodded.
"Yes, and I will also study here as a Senior High student." He said with a smile that made me smile as well. I'm not sure if it's a blessing or, another test of the lord on me. But for now, I'll just go with the flow first.
Elona's POV"Umm, can I ask a question?" I am ashamed to ask him. He still hasn't left since before, as if I'm talking to someone. He was very kind to me."Okay, just ask me, what is it?" he was just waiting for me to ask so I didn't go into detail and I asked him right away.“Do you know who brought me here? And also… I don't know anything about this University. ”“Ahh — is that so? Admin Kairo brought you here, “ he seemed to be forced to say those words, but I ignored it."Is that so, thank you so much for the help, and then… where can I find the Admin Kairo you're talking about?" I asked him directly.I just want to thank him for rescuing me in the forest."Don't worry, lady, you'll meet him right now, I'll introduce myself to you first." He held out his right hand in front of me at once. "I'm Marvin… Marvin Wingston." He introduced himself and I immediately reached out his hand.
Elona's POV"Yes, that's me, what do you need?" he said seriously to me without even any emotion from his face. He asked me to sit near his table, causing my knees to weaken and my heartbeat to speed up again.But even though I was nervous, I still tried to fight it before I speak again."I-I just wanted to thank you for bringing me here and for giving me a free education. Especially for saving me from the forest." I seriously thank him as I force myself not to stutter. He immediately raised his head from reading the newspaper and frowned at me."Me? I brought you here?" astonished he answered me back at the same time he pointed to himself as if he could not believe for what I've just said."I-Isn't that you?" I was also confused. What's this? Marvin says he's the one who saved me and brought me here?"Y-Yeah, don't worry about it. Enjoy your stay here." he still seemed confused. So even though I wanted to as
Elona's POVIt's Saturday and I'm awake already, it's still 7am in the morning. I planned to go around the university first. Maybe the students don't have classes today, because it's Saturday. So that I don't get lost if I look for my classroom on Monday if ever I will find my classroom.I am now wearing a simple white top dress and my bottom is a skirt that is only up to my knees. Fortunately, I found something in the cabinet.Whose dress is this? Just now, I'm sorry ... I really don't have anything to wear anymore. I'll just borrow your dress for now.My curly hair is just loose. I didn't even bother to put any makeup on my face because I don't have any of that. And then ... it's not necessary, as long as you just live here on earth, that's okay. You are already very lucky."But I'm just curious, is the maker of this room a fortune teller? Or, all the rooms here really have flower designs?" astonished I asked myself once lifting my gaze
Elona's POVMarvin pointed out where my locker room would be. I was amazed because we still had our own bags of our belongings. This is probably what they call the locker room. We also went to their gymnasium here, I am not surprised when I saw the huge space of it. Cafeteria that they have here is already so pompous, what else can I expect in their gymnasium?Somehow, I was able to study elementary school on my own effort. That's all, until grade six only. But even so, it still helped me to learn at least a little.I still remember how Tita objected when she found out that I was studying secretly. I don't seem to be able to do anything in my studies. So she did everything she could to stop me from studying. She didn't want to see me having fun in my own life.I suddenly stopped from thinking and glance Marvin who are still busy introducing to me the parts of this University. Someone has already helped you, El. So don't waste y
Elona's POVI woke up early to get ready for my first day of class today, I woke up at five in the morning.Maybe I'm just too nervous, of course, after a long time only now I will study again.I also plan to cook Kairo with marinated chicken. I'm still not comfortable with him, with his presence, but this is the only way for me to make up for what he did good for me. For saving me.I slowly face myself in the mirror of this bathroom. I immediately grabbed my own neck because I seemed to notice a small mole there near my right ear."When did I had a mole here?" I shrugged and continued to fix myself. Maybe it was there before, only now I just pay attention on it."Is this really their uniform here? It's embarrassing if I'm wearing this, you can really see the shape of your body." I told myself once and look at my whole being in the mirror.My uniform top is white and it is tucked into my bottom skirt which is charcoal c
Elona's POVIt was four o'clock in the afternoon when our class ended, so I put my things back on my bag."Hey, EL! Are you doing anything now?" lively question of my sit mate Lavisha. You can really see the pleasure on her face. Her full name is Lavisha Scott. Her name is really beautiful, even her face.I was just shaken because of its excessive chatter. This woman is also a different kind of woman, she doesn't seem to get tired of speaking. I sighed at the same time. Even maybe a word I did not understand what she was saying earlier because of the speed with which she spoke."I'm sorry Lavisha, I still have to go somewhere later," I told her, causing her to frown suddenly. I immediately felt guilty because her face seemed to be covered by heaven and earth. 'cause of sadness."All right, just next time maybe." she didn't want to turn back at me so I just slapped on my own forehead. I felt so guilty. 'What are you doing EL? She
Elona's POV["Elona! Come here!" Aunt shouted loudly at me. I immediately followed and went to the living room while my hand was still full of bubbles because I was just doing laundry."What is it, Aunt?" I was just surprised when she suddenly pulled my long and very black hair, "Argh!" I moaned loudly. "Aunt, that's enough!" I beg her.But she didn’t listen and she tightened his grip on my hair even more. I just bit my lower lip so hard. The pain ... the pain."Tell me! Are you the one who stole my money here on the table, huh !?" I just closed my eyes because of the strength of my aunt's screaming."N-No, I've been doing laundry all day, so I don't have--""You think I'll believe you !?" my Aunt put even more emphasis on her grip on my hair so it hurt even more. I secretly just cried. I was surprised again when my aunt suddenly dragged me to the sink."A-Aunt ... please, have mercy on me--" I didn't finish what I want
Third person's POVAfter the conversation between Kairo and Elona, Elona immediately returned to her dormitory. While Kairo is still busy going back and forth in his spot and he seemed uneasy.'That's impossible ... I already told Miss Scott to erase her memories, then how?' Kairo's silent question in his mind. Kairo was stunned to think that he would also remember the night when he saw Elona lying in the middle of the big field here at school."Unless ... it doesn't really work on her?" Kairo wasn't sure about of what he said either. Kairo immediately got up and straightened up on his bed and threw himself there."Whatever, it doesn't really concerns me." he had already closed his eyes.On the other hand ..."The weight of my body," EL moaned weakly when her head hurt again. She also notice that it has always been hurting since Veronica locked her in the Admin Office.EL immediately sat on the side of her bed while st
