Jenny Zeng POV.

"...and this, ladies and gentlemen, and dear professor is why the global warming is caused by us, humans." I closed my presentation up with those words, and everyone started clapping. Used to it, I just bowed and went back to my seat.

I am a student at the faculty of economics at Shanghai university, top of my class. Everyone thinks my life is perfect, but to be honest, it's quite the other way around.

I've been living alone in a small apartment for almost 3 years now, ever since my mother kicked me out of her house after finding out I do drugs. I'm not proud of that time, to me more specific I hate my past self. But at the same time, I am thankful for that past self, because if it wasn't for the junkee Zeng Keni, the present me wouldn't ever exist.

A bunch of thoughts racing through my mind as I was packing up my bag to leave the classroom.

"Miss Zeng, please come here for a second" Professor Kun instructed me. I did as he said, watching him pull out my noteboom he took with himself last class to check my project notes.

"I've noticed some errors in this part of your project" he pointed at the part talking about the analytics of japan. "This number here is actually approximately 980.97, okay Keni?" Professor Kun asked with a smile on his face. I just nodded, took my notebook and quickly walked out of the classroom.

"For the last time An Qi, I am not going to do your Chinese homework, you are the one studying in the history major!" I heard one of my classmates scold a random girl in the hallway.

I quickly passed them by and walked out of the school building. I couldn't afford to live at the college, so I bought my own small apartment.

Stepping slowly closer and closer to the busstop, I noticed a girl already sitting there. Her hair was wavy, she had curtain bangs, a perfect white blazer paired with a black skirt. Her face looked like a porcelain doll's, so I was quite afraid to sit next to her.

After I gathered the courage to sit next to her, she looked me up and down and hugged me, leaving me startled.

"Keni, we haven't met for so long!!" the girl exclaimed, holding me even tighter.

"Wait... Xueer?" I asked, my eyes widening because of the shock.

"Yes! Didn't you recognize me? Did I change this much?" she let out a small giggle.

Just so you know, me and Xueer used to date back in middle school, and we kind of broke contact in high school.

"It's just... You became so much prettier..." I let the statement slip out of my mouth, which made Xueer smile a bit.

"Same to you too. You're glowing in that suit, I hope you know" she stated, holding my hand. Her sudden action took me by suprise, not knowing what to do, I just smiled at her, waiting for my bus tk finally come.

"Oh by the way" she turned to me "I am not waiting for a bus, I'm actually waiting for my friend, Xiaotang to pick me up."

"Waitttt, Xiaotang, as in Zhao Xiaotang?" I asked with a huge smile on my face. TangTang was my friend since kindergarten, but sadly we broke contact in high shcool due to my mother being convinced I started doing drugs because of her.

Xueer just nodded, still smiling. A big ass black Ferrari pulled up at the bus stop, and Xueer immediately jumped up.

"Oh by the way, we can take you to your apartment if you want" she offered, and I gladly accepted, I wasn't about to wait here in the rain for a god damn bus.

"XIAOTAAAAANG" Xueer yelled at her friend as she opened the car door. "Remember Keni? Were taking her to her apartment. Don't ask questions, okay?" she asked and I heard the familiar deep laugh coming out of the car.

The moment I heard Xiaotang laugh, I slowly opened the back door of the car, and sat inside it. The car was quite big, and also had an air conditioner.... I had to admit, Xiaotang was very rich.

I slipped a piece of paper with my adress on it to Xueer, who passed it to Xiaotang. She reacted quickly, stepped on the gas and started sppeeding towards my apartment.

We arrived in about 3 minutes, I quickly got out of the car, thanked Xueer and Xiaotang then ran inside the building.

As soon as I got into my apartment I slammed the door behind me, and threw the top of my suit onto the cloth hanger.

I wouldn't say that my apartment was filled with roaches or anything like that, but it most definitely wasn't the cleanest, nor the biggest. This was the best I could get 3 years ago tho, because of my very bad financial state.

I quickly took a shower, then immediately layed down onto my bed. I decided to not study today, because it was already 7pm by the time I got home.

I took out a book named 'Memoirs of a Geisha' and started reading it... It was my 9th time reading this book, and I still couldn't get enough of it. The way the author describes even the simplest thing makes me feel a type of way. A way I simply couldn't describe with words.

I've been reading this book for 3 hours now, and I was getting tired.... Without even knowing, I fell asleep with the book in my hands.





I stretched my arms in my small bed(more like a matress) and slowly sat up. Looking at the clock I almost panicked, since it was already 11 AM. I quickly realised it was the weekend, so I didn't have any classses.

I walked into the kitchen to make some coffee, only to see there was no coffee left. I let out a disappointed sigh, stating I have to go outside today too.

I quickly threw a trench coat onto my shoulders, took my wallet, locked the door behind myself and headed down to the local grocery store.

As I was walking I suddenly heard a girl scream from my right side.

"Someone help me! They're trying to rape me!" my heart dropped at the mention of rape, and as a victim of rape myself, without caring about the consequences, I ran up to the group of guys trying to hurt the girl.

"Hey you douche bags, who do you think you are?"
