Eda POV

Today is my first day in Harvard University. I look at the mirror. I'm wearing a white jeans and long-sleeves black cropped-top. Very boring? Yes, indeed. I hurriedly go out from my room and go to the kitchen to make breakfast.

My house is actually in Istanbul, Turkey. I live in an orphanage. But starting today, I live in this small apartment alone since it close my campus. Only need a few minutes to get there.

I fried a bacon and egg. When it's done, I eat it all. Oof- I miss Turkish food so much. Not more than two minutes, all the foods are gone. Suddenly, my phone rings, I hurriedly pick it up.

"Hello,"

"Eda?" asked a woman on the phone

"Fatma? What is it?" I asked. Fatma is my foster mother in the orphanage. "No, I just want to call you," she replied. I smile. She is very worried since I receive a scholarship in Harvard. That is because now I will live alone.

"I'm fine, Fatma," I replied

"Ah, okay. Keep fighting there. And don't go out at night," she said

"Okay. I should go now, Fatma. I will call you later once I get back," I replied her

I hung up the phone and grab my bag and sneakers

Then I go out of my apartment and driving in my old car to the campus. After a few minutes, I arrive at the faculty building, I park my car and hurriedly go inside the building

My faculty is Harvard Business School. The building is in classic style. When I go inside the building, I see a lot of students arrived as well.

It seems like they are all new students, I don't know anybody here, I sigh. Then all new students are asked to go to a big auditorium hall, and enough to gather all of my new students in my faculty.

I immediately look for a chair. I find an empty seat beside a very beautiful blond- haired girl. In other side, sit a blond-haired man. At a glance they look alike.

When I sit, the blond-haired girl calls me.

"Hello, I am Ceren Deniz, and this is my twin brother, Kaan Deniz," said the girl

"Nice to meet you," said Kaan from afar.

No wonder they look alike I thought.

'"Yeah, nice to meet you too. I am Eda Yildiz. You can call me Eda,"

"Okay, Eda, Yildiz? Are you turkish?" he said. Not long after the welcoming ceremony for new students begins. A handsome man goes to the stage.

"Yes, I'm Turkish and seems you guys too,"

"We are, our parent are turkish" said Peter

"Oh my God, he is so handsome," said Ceren that seems to be hypnotized by the man on the stage.

"Is she always like this?" I asked Kaan jokingly

"Ignore her," said Kaan who looks bored

"Have you heard? Usually the news student who got the best score in the entrance exam will have a short speech in the opening ceremony. It means, that man is the smartest one in our year. Ohh, he is getting more handsome. Oh, what an ideal husband," said Ceren charmed

"Hmm, I see," I commented while nodding my head

After that man finishes his speech, the MC talks again.
