Anything 4 U

Seventeenth

It is now Lisa's last day in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Before going to the airport she decided to explore the place one last time and even buy souvenirs for the people back in Seoul.

She actually spent 2 weeks in the States in a well accommodated hotel under the sponsorship by the administrators in Harvard University.

On the first two days of her trip, she toured around the campus together with the other successful applicants. Then the remaining days of the first week, she spent it on discovering the services of Harvard, in which she was very amazed of. Then the last week, she spent it at the hotel, slept a couple of hours before going out at night to a certain watch tower to admire the view.

The day before she comes home, she was actually called by the Head Dean of the University to talk to her personally about how lucky they are to have an applicant like her. He said in quote and quote, "A student like you is hard to find these days."

Lisa being Lisa who's not that good in accepting compliments, didn't utter a word and just laid her head down low. Receiving a praise from the Head Dean himself is a really remarkable situation, and come to think of it, he is the Dean of one of the most prestigious and top notching university in the world. Who would not blush at that thought and a statement from him, right?

He also shared to her about how she will have a full scholarship in Harvard, her family will not worry about the expenses since the school's got it all covered. She only needs to focus on her studies plus basketball to be able to keep that scholarship.

Truth be told, after talking to the Dean, Lisa most likely made a decision already. She wants to pursue her education in Harvard.

Ironic right?

Few weeks ago she was crying on the arms of her bestfriend, pleading to not go and fly to States.

But here she is right now, getting all excited to have her very own dorm in the university and explore more about Massachusetts.

Walking down the stalls nearby a park, she caught a glimpse of a snow globe that has the famous mark of Cambridge.

She took a few steps closer to it, watching every bit of its detail, being at awe by how beautiful it is.

"That's the Harvard Arts Museum. One of the top tourist spots here in Cambridge." a girl from behind muttered an explanation to Lisa.

Lisa turned around to see a girl that most likely has the same age with her, wearing a cap from Harvard together with her jean jacket, a plain white shirt and some blue ripped jeans. And don't forget about the black boots she's rocking on too.

"You're a tourist aren't you?" Lisa slowly nodded keeping her mouth in a thin line. She remembered what her Mom said in talking to strangers. She should never reply nor respond to them.

"I see, looking for souvenirs? Well, that snow globe would be a good one to give. And oh! Also some fridge magnets too." the girl talked casually to the Manoban, as if she's just having a conversation with her friend.

Not wanting to be rude, Lisa took a step forward and reached out her hand.

"What? Oh. Right, I haven't introduced myself." Lisa chuckled and shook her hand, taking the initiative.

"I'm Lisa."

"I'm N-" the girl couldn't finish her sentence when she was suddenly pulled by a certain guy. Lisa wanted to help but the girl just laughed and brought her arm to his shoulders.

"Guess they're friends." Lisa whispered watching the duo slowly disappear from her sight.

"Bummer, I couldn't even get to know her name." she sighed and went inside the stall planning to buy the recommendations of the mysterious girl.
