Rozetta's POV

I sigh as I walk into the lobby of Grimsborough University. Well, you've got to start the next chapter of your life, and this will be it. I'm going to be studying mechanical engineering and information technology. I want to be an inventor one day and create technology. I want to be the next Paul Gigs of iPear. I walk down the hall and hurry to my next class. I don't exactly know why I have to take Philosophy but I guess I'm going to take in the experience. Room D2231. Well, here goes nothing. There was an empty seat at a table of four people. It wouldn't be any good to have no friends. I take the empty seat in the middle of them. Their heads turn to look at me. I take my headphones off and just rest them on my neck. I wave and they smile.

"Do any of you know the professor's name for this class?" The one with an icy cold stare asks.

"Yeah, it's Charles. Mister K. Charles." I answer.

"Thanks, blue hair." He muttered.

"Hey, be nice. She just sat down." The red-haired one snaps at him.

"Now, we shouldn't argue! Let's just go around and introduce ourselves." One with a yellow tie says.

"I guess it'll be nice to make it five." The last one muttered.

"I'm Christian. Christian Bateman." The one with the icy stare states.

"I'm Julia. Julia Brine." The red-haired one replies.

"I'm Joe. Joe Warren." Yellow tie grins.

"I'm Louis. Louis Leroux." The last and most quiet one mutters.

"I'm Rozetta. Rozetta Pierre." I reply.

"I hope that everyone has introduced themselves!" A voice says from the door.

I turn to see the professor, or what I think is the professor, walking in through the front door of the classroom.

"Excuse my tardiness class! The economics professor and I are writing a book." The teacher exclaims as he hurries to the front of the room.

The professor began talking and began class. I listen intently, hoping to get some knowledge out of the class. It wasn't that bad. Some of the things or "philosophies" that he said were actually pretty interesting. When the bell rang and signaled that class was over. Julia takes my hand and brings me with her to the cafeteria. I'm guessing that I'll sit with them. I sit at a table and unpack the sandwich I made. I do live on campus, I joined the Iota Psi Omega's sorority earlier in the week. I ate and talk with the new friends that I met. They spoke about wanting to do big things in the world. I think that Christian might be a bit eccentric... maybe even a little bit crazy. But I also think that the others know that and just ignore that fact. I speak of all of my ambitions. The power I wish to have. The money I wish to make. The leader I could be. The skills I possess. Everyone needs a leader and I think that I could give that to people. The four of them listened and agreed with me. They added their own ideas. Louis smiled at me and there was a twinkle in his brown eyes.

"Do you have any other friends, Rozetta?" He asks.

"No, not really. It's really just me, my boyfriend, and my Mom, but I'm glad that I met you guys." I reply.

"Well... are you in any clubs or study groups?" Louis inquires.

"Louis, you can't tell her!" Julia hissed.

"Why not? She's clearly a smart person with similar ambitions to us." He retorts.

"We need to be cautious, you know people would hate us for what we are doing and hiding!" Joe whisper-shouts.
