Chapter 4

“Don’t tell me you’re a virgin ?!”I covered my face because we were looking at each other. Her mouth! Very no brakes.

I did not answer her and hastened to walk.

I cried out when I suddenly floated away.

“Sorry about that, did I make you uncomfortable?”

“Well honestly yes, I’m not used to kinds of stuff like that and actually I don’t care about it not until you mentioned it.”

“Oh sorry I really thought you were okay. You know your cousin’s reputation right?“ I nodded.

“But I’m not like him.”

“Yeah.”

We arrived at the girl’s dormitory and it was very awkward because people were looking at us.

Hela just led me to my room.

“Here’s our room.”

“You’re my roommate?”

“Yup.”

Thank god, I might have a hard time when other people are with me.

“My roommate graduated last year.”I nodded.

I looked in the cabinet and saw that my clothes were already there. So their faculty is really efficient. Our’s.

“Can I take a nap?”

“Sure. Just be sure to be at the dining area when the clock strikes at 7. It’s on the second station. “

I nodded and lay down on the bed. I mentally take note that I should wake up at 7.

I woke up around six-thirty so I still had time to get ready. I chose to wear a simple floral dress and a stiletto. I’m used to wearing a dress. My mom always told me that I look good in a dress so I always wear one. That’s just my last memory of her so I’m trying to honor it besides I like wearing the dress.

I arrived at station 2 and looked for the dining area. That’s right Hela this is station is the training ground. The equipment is there and obviously made for training. Durable as you look.

I just went straight to the crowded part. This must be the dining area.

Hela waved at me when she saw me.

“You look nice.” she commented immediately.

“Uh thanks, where’s my cousin?”

“Maybe women.” she whispered case I heard so I laughed at her. My cousin’s really an asshole I just hope that he can’t get someone pregnant. That’s like a disgrace to our family.

She made me sit at their table. She’s with two boys and a girl. I awkwardly smiled at them.

“So guys this is Iris, she just got here,” she said to her companions.

“Hi! Good evening. “I greeted them.

Your curly man was the first to greet me. “Hi! I’m Uno. “I shook hands with him. “Iris.” I smiled.

“I’m Mnemosyne, nice to meet you Iris. And by the way his real name’s Bruno. “Uno groaned when Mnemosyne told me his real name. I laughed at them. I’m still standing waiting for the last man to shake hands with me but he’s just there reading something. He didn’t even look at me.

I laughed awkwardly and sit on my chair. I was surprised when Hela slapped the man’s hand. “Introduce yourself.” The man just stared me and continued reading.

“You’re really embarrassing Valerio.” Oh so he’s names Valerio? I don’t know but I’m laughing. There’s Bruno with Valerio yet.

“Iris, this is my little brother Valerio, but prefers to be called Rio.” I just nodded to him also losing interest to shake hands. I was a bit insulted because. Never in my life that someone ignored my presence and it stings.

All that my first time was with my siblings.

“So Iris are you really determined for this school?”Uno trying to start a conversation.

“Well, yeah I kind of hesitated at first but I’m here now.” He nodded.

“You’re an only child right?” I nodded at him.

I was surprised when suddenly someone kissed my head and put his arm around me. Is this my cousin’s problem?

I looked at him and gave him a “what the hell are you doing look” but he just smiled. I tried to get off his arms but he’s too strong. I glared at him.

Uno would have asked again when he suddenly stopped. And then when I look at my cousin he’s glaring at him. I pinched her waist.

“Aw.”He then looked at me. I glared at him. “Stop it.”

“What? I’m not doing anything.“ He whispered. I just stared at him. He’s being overprotective again.

“He’s a fucking playboy you know that?”

“And you aren’t?”

“Tsk. I’m just protecting you from that asshole. “

“I don’t need your protection I can handle myself.”He sighed so I left him. And now he’s the one who’s glaring at me.

“Good evening students of Iliaden I’m so happy that you’re back! The faculty’s so grateful that you’re here. And with that let the feast begin. “

After a while, those foods and drinks floated. Must be the fourth district’s doing. That’s there trait. Everyone seems so excited about the feast but not me. Not to brag but but every day there is a lot of food on the table. Even though my father is not there, he makes sure I eat a lot.

“Eat while you’re with us, tomorrow someone else will eat with you.”Said Hela.

“What? Why? Where are you going tomorrow? “

“In our batch, you’re still a freshman so you’re in them.”Aaron patted my forehead. Now I really have no appetite. I’m not included there? Edi I’m going to die of boredom because maybe no one wants to be my friend?

Hela must have noticed that I had lost my mood. “Don’t worry Iris, my sister is also a freshman there with you.”Instead of rejoicing, I became even more miserable. Why is he still at all? For sure he doesn’t use it.

“How about you Uno?”I asked feeling a bit hopeful.

“I’m a junior Iris eh.”He smiled wryly.

“Don’t worry princess if you’ll do good in class you’ll be promoted to the Junior department.”I was suddenly moved by what my cousin said. Pwede pala “yon? Thank god, because I really don’t want to be in the same class as Rio. He’s such a snob and I don’t think that I can stand seeing him every day.

“Really ?!”He nodded. “Okay, I”ll do well in class.”

After we ate and talked, Aaron drove us to our dorm. Maybe it’s fun, especially since I’m still a freshman. Is there really such a thing here?

Hela entered first. I would have been next when my cousin called me.

“Iris.”He was just an Iris but I was nervous.

“I know you think we’re locked up in this school but we’re not okay?”I turned to her and smiled.

“I know but he can take me here, right? I mean not as a council president but as a father. “

At first I thought my dad was really tired of me so he sent me to the school I hated the most.

He wiped away my tears. I was disappointed because he was no longer my father so that I could be responsible.

“He just wants you to see the world and if you stay in the four corners of your room you can’t do it.”

“And you think I’m here to finally see the ‘world’ he relates to?”

He avoided my question. “Your mom’s gonna agree if it’s ...”he didn’t continue.

“You know we’re always here don’t you? We love you, Iris. “

“I love you too brother.”

He laughed when I called him older brother.

“Now That’s the first after so many years.”I just laughed too.

“That’s because you’ve been an asshole in the following years.”

He shook his head. Because it’s true. He puts his women ahead of his own cousins. But That’s okay.

“Good night.”

“Good night Iris.”
