Chapter 75 Sage Class First Day (1/2)

**Flashback**

The Sage Class was located at the Administrative Building and on the same floor as the Principal's Office. Since it was a special class that comprised of both lower and upper secondary students, it was felt that it was best that its location was not in either Cherry or Blossom Wing. It also made it easier for the Principal to monitor the students.Ideally, it would have been near the library but there was no empty classrooms nearby so this location was its next best place.

Sage Classroom was truly unique.

First, it was as big as two classrooms combined. It did not have a teacher's desk and whiteboard in front with rows of tables and chairs of the students facing the front. Instead, it had 10 L-shaped desks and office-type swivel chairs scattered around the room. There was a computer on top of each desk and on its right, a 3 tier bookshelf on it and right underneath, a small cabinet.

These desks were actually on the outer parts of the classroom while the middle had beanbags on a carpet. In front of the classroom were a small sink, a water dispenser, fridge, microwave oven, and a kettle. There were 11 sets of cutlery (spoon, forks, knife, chopsticks etc), plates, bowls and cups. It was like a mini apartment-slash-office.

When everyone first entered the classroom, they thought they had entered the wrong room. THIS was a classroom? After checking the big sign over the doors that proudly proclaimed 'Sage Class', all of them entered eagerly. There wasn't much of a fight over the tables and the Elite Five let the others choose first before taking theirs.

The Elite Five were the only first-year students who were childhood friends and obviously close, so things were a bit awkward at first since the other five were practically strangers to everyone else. After everyone had chosen their seats, they were looking at each other awkwardly until Kyle flopped onto the beanbags and shouted, ”This is the LIFE!”

Ali and Xing Han looked at each other and without another word, plopped right next to Kyle while Sam just sat down properly. Kyle pulled Kay's hand and she fell inbetween his legs. He put his arms around her waist from behind (as she fell with her back facing him) and his chin on her shoulder. He grinned as he looked up towards the rather shocked and frozen members of Sage Class.

”As you know, I'm Kyle and this is my twin sister, Kayla,” Kyle said, ”And to set the record straight, we're very close and this is normal. If you find it weird ... tough. Get used to it.”

Kyle figured that with such exceptionally intelligent people, he wasn't going to beat around the bush with them. The last thing he wanted was to pretend around them about how he acted with Kay and he did not want to have to put up with any weird looks and so forth.

Kay smacked Kyle's head and pinched his nose hard.

”OW KAY!” Kyle shouted, rubbing his now reddish nose, ”Why did you do that for?”

”Don't be such a bully,” Kay admonish him then she looked at the others while giving her sweet smile, ”Nice to meet everyone. I hope we can get along.”

”Muhammad Ali, but you can call me Ali!”

”Xing Han, best friend of Kyle here,” said Xing Han with a wave.

Kyle turned to him with a smirk, ”What sort of introduction is that?!”

”Hey, I need to declare it! BFFs!!” Xing Han replied with a huff.

”What? Do you think we're still in Primary school? As if they're going to steal me away or something!” Kyle said then his eyes went wide open before he quickly disentangled himself from Kay to escape. Alas, he was too late.

Xing Han tackled Kyle, who then fell and he sat on Kyle while starting to mess up Kyle's hair. Kyle put up his hands to tickle him but Xing Han held it in and rubbed his hands even more on Kyle's hair.

”Sam,” said Sam curtly then looked at the wrestling pair in front of him, ”That's another normal thing, by the way. You can ignore the little kids there.”

Xing Han and Ali stopped 'fighting' then stared at Sam, before laughing and getting up, ”Hey! You're the youngest among us, you know. Your 12th birthday is only next week!!”

Sam snorted while the others were shocked again. Kay used her fingers to help smoothen back Kyle's hair while she explained that Sam had skipped a grade in Primary school so he was a year younger. When Beatrice heard this, she was flabbergasted. He neither looked like a pre-teen nor acted like one. If they hadn't said it, she wouldn't have known!

”It's only my biological age, not my mental age” Sam countered, ”And to think the next President of the Student Council is so .... I don't know?”

”Playful? Cute? Adorable?” Kyle said helpfully.

”Childish,” Sam replied.
