Chapter 1 The rush
Chapter one
"Akira, come down stairs or else you'll be late". A middle aged woman called her daughter.
Akira was supposed to start 'Stars high school' today.
"Am coming, give me a minute". Akira shouted from her room.
She looked at herself in the mirror, it was as if she hadn't spent three hours dressing up for her first day in high school.
She had always looked forward to this day, where she would wear a fancy uniform.
She was very excited but nervous as well.
Excited, because it was her first time leaving far away from her parents and nervous because it was a fancy school for rich kids and she was there only on scholarship.
She adjusted her hair one last time and looked at her uniform in the mirror.
The school's uniform consisted of a pleated grey skirt, white shirt and a blue suit for girls. And a pair of grey trousers, white shirt and blue suit for boys.
This uniform was only for Mondays and Tuesdays.
Other days of the week had their own uniforms. Had she not been very brilliant she would not have passed the school's scholarship exam and would not have gotten a hundred percent scholarship.
She came downstairs and met her mum patiently waiting for her even though she had started to run out of patience.
"Hey mum, I am ready. we can go now". Akira said to her already pissed mum.
"What took you so long? Anyways, you look beautiful in your school uniform". Her mum said.
"Thank you". She said bowing slightly and her mum laughed.
Akira had only a mom, no father, brother or sisters. Her dad died in a car accident when she was five and now she is sixteen years old and she lived with her mum in Washington D.C.
She was going to 'Stars High School' one of the most expensive schools in the United States of America, not because she had money but because she was very intelligent.
She followed her mum outside, and they both headed towards the airport.
Every student not in New York, were provided with plane tickets to board a plane to school and Akira was among these people.
At the Airport, she followed the process of showing your ticket, searching your luggage and finally went to the departure with her mum. The flight was to leave in five minutes.
She saw other students dressed like her at the departure. I fact only students wearing the same uniform as her were at the departure.
She sat down with her mum, other students were also with their parents. She hoped she'd make a friend before arriving at the school or else th situation would be really awkward.
Very soon the departure board announced that it was time to depart."All passengers of the G6257, should please start boarding the flight".
"Akira, take care of yourself. You know you are the only family I have left. Please don't disappoint me. Make me proud like you always do. Okay?" Akira's mum said.
"Okay mum". Akira said and hugged her mum.
She only released her mum from the hug when she heard it was time to board the flight again.
She rushed towards the plane, she looked back, her mum could not go beyond the departure. She waved her mum lightly and finally boarded the plane. "This is going to be a long ride". She said to herself.
The air hostess showed her were to sit.
She sat close to the window because she wanted to get a good view of everything. This was the first time she was boarding a flight. She needed to savor every minute of it.
Two people came to sit next to her one was a short slim but handsome boy. He had long lashes and dark hair. And red lips.
The other person was a dark skinned girl,with shoulder length hair, long lashes and was very tall. The girl sat next to her and the boy sat opposite her.
Someone else came to join them. He was a boy too and he sat next to the boy sitting opposite her. He was dark skinned too, short hair and was very tall.
"Hi, am Kiara Anderson". She said extending her hands for a hand shake.
Akira took her hands and said "Akira Smith".
The boys too took turns in introducing themselves. The short handsome one was Damien Peyton and the tall dark skinned one was Alexander Wilson.
They got acquainted with each other quickly. Akira was the most quiet and intelligent one.
Damien was the cool and calm one, Alexander was a talkertive but was also very intelligent.
Kiara was the funniest of them all. They started talking about random stuffs like football, movies and celebrities.
"I heard there was a very rich and handsome boy in school who barely talks, is it true?" Kiara asked Alexander who was stared attending the school last year.
"Yeah, but he's not as quiet as you describe. He just doesn't talk when it's not needed". Alexander explained.
"Are you guys science or art students?" Akira asked them.
"Science". Alexander said.
"Art". Damien and Kiara said simultaneously.
"Well am science too". Akira said.
"The school is very fun, especially during game time". Damien who was also in the school a year before said.
A tall handsome boy walked through the students who were seated and all the girls admired and waved him as he he walked passed them. He just smiled and walked towards his friend's Alexander and Damien.
"Hey guys". He said in a deep calm voice.
He had a chiseled face, blue eyes. Dark hair and tanned skin. His lips were so...
"Akira, what are you thinking about?" Kiara said as she saw that her new friend was lost in thought.
"N.. nothing". She stammered. What was wrong with her. She had never stammered before.
"I told you you would fall for him when you see him". Alexander said.
"Hi Xavier, this is Kiara and Akira". Damien introduced the girls and the both shook hands with him.
"Hi am Xavier Thomas". He said after shaking both their hands. He brought out chocolates from his pocket and gave one to everyone seated and he left, before the air hostess will make a fuss.
"Seatbelts on everyone, we are landing in five minutes". The pilot announced.
Everyone who had started getting bored got excited again. The plane landed and the doors opened for everyone to get off.
Everyone came down and went to collect their luggage.
The school had sent buses to pick them.
