Prologue: The Arrival

"Hey, wanna know which gossip aced in today's school paper?"

"What?"

"I can't just give it away that easily, ya know... it would spoil all the fun.. so you guys got three tries to guess it..."

"Hmm, let me guess.. a party?"

"No... "

"Aha! A new project for the upcoming festival by the Kramer???"

"Well... N.O."

"This is tough. oh, I remember! A new comer; am I right?"

"Yep, you got it right.. just read it from the Gossip column of theirs."

"So, since you ARE our information source, could you at least describe the new comer, hmm?"

"Ok. According to what I had read, the newbie's a girl - beautiful, smart and rich."

"Gosh! I can't wait to see and meet her in person!"

"Me too! I'm so excited that I can hardly study today."

"Now -"

"Ahem." A male's firm voice interrupted the group's mini-discussion. Behind them appeared a tall, handsome, and well-groomed blonde guy who was extremely irritated due to their carelessness of responsibility. Without a word, the group broke up, scrambling to do their assigned jobs in cleaning the classroom to at least please their authority-in-charge who was standing behind them with his arms folded.

8:30 am Balamb Garden University gates

A girl with shoulder-length raven, braided hair stepped out of the yellow cab as she arrived her destination. She thought angrily as she gathered all her luggage. *~*This is the third time I've transferred. What a hassle it is! Why can't Dad's business be stable in one place??*~* She saw the huge, tall, white gates of Balamb University.

"It's so placid," she remarked silently as she entered. A beautiful scenery composed of pine trees, rose bushes, grass sculptures, stone statues, small wood benches, and the clear firmament greeted her. She finally reached the building. The very first thing that caught her attention was the Student Affairs Board, overflowed with red colored letters with hearts on the front.

She gasped. "Valentine's very far a - " The next thing she knew was that she found herself flat in the floor with a brown-haired, well-built male student.

"Ow, it hurts," she complained as she helped herself up. "I'm sorry. Are you unhurt?"

"You should have looked where you're going!" He angrily barked, standing up and brushing himself off at the same time.

"Well," she rolled her eyes, for the thought of being scolded as a kid irritated her to death though an apology was made. "I already told you I'm sorry."

"Hmmph, women." The guy walked away.

"Hey, I'm already sorry, ok?" The girl called after him and gathered her own belongings, walking towards the other direction and trying to get used to her novel surroundings wherein she will be calling it her boarding school in a few months to come.
