On a long passage; hallway, a guy was walking briskly with books in his arms. The guy seemed in a hurry, yet his face shows being reluctant. A few minutes passed, he arrived at their classroom, then find an empty seat to sit in. It was the first day of their class in college. When their Professor came up, everyone within the room settled and didn't make a sound. The Professor introduced himself to the students and welcomed them into their course which is Bachelor of Visual Arts.

The introduction on the first day of school will certainly not be lost, it has become a customary way.

Everyone presented themselves formally, and some of the students had been asked a few questions. The professor called out the guy from the back. It was Claudio, the guy from the hallway.

'Mr. Trinidad." He said.

"Yes, Sir," He uttered.

The Professor asked him.

"Why do you love Arts?" He asked Claudio, then Claudio replied. "Art always perplexes my belief and notions. It widens my fixed viewpoint, that's why it's interesting."

"Good." The Professor said.

The professor continued to ask a few of his students regarding their chosen course. The teacher looked bored with the replies of the student, so he asked the girl about the work of Diego Vel​ázquez.

"You," He said.

He pointed his hand at the girl in front, then the girl was surprised.

"Do you know about the creations of Diego Vel​ázquez?" He asked.

"I only knew about his La Venus del Espejo, Sir." She answered.

Everyone was amazed by her answer, except Claudio and the guy at the back.

"The artwork represents the Roman goddess of love and beauty lying down on a couch with her son Cupid. The Roman god of love." She uttered.

The Professor beamed with assurance.

"Very good, Ms. Aurora." He said.

Aurora immediately looked around, watching the reactions of her classmates get amazed, and there was Claudio on the back. He insensately stares at the windows; observing the leaves which are carried away by the wind. When Claudio noticed that she was watching him, he deliberately ignored Aurora and then Aurora expressed her discomfort.

"Bleh," She muttered.

Thirty minutes later, their Professor left. When their instructor left them, some of the students expectedly opened up conversations, others were observing, and Claudio took a nap. But Aurora appeared in front of him, smiling.

Aurora started a chit-chat with Claudio; however, Claudio always tells a few things and shows boredom, so Aurora got fired up. Unfortunately, Claudio won.

"Hey, I'm tired. Would you please cut me some slack?" Claudio muttered.

Aurora left in a sullen mood, pouting, while everyone was keeping up with the new atmosphere. Claudio at the back, lost his drowsiness, so he picked up the phone out of his pocket and played the classical music of Frédéric Chopin. As the students continued to find acquaintance, a jolly guy went to Claudio and took out Claudio's earphones, then listened. It was Lucio.

"This is cool, you know! It's Ballade No. 1 in G Minor, right?" He said with excitement, then Claudio nodded as an approval. Claudio seemed thrilled.

The two got along with just a few minutes. They shared things that they love to do and laughed at it too.

"In the subfields, where are you good at?' Lucio asked.
