------------------------------------------------------------

Alice Walked through the college gates, her nerves already on edge from the first day jitters. The campus was buzzing with energy, students rushing around, some laughing others hurrying to their classes. But she noticed something unusual, a crowd gathering, voices raised in excitement. Curiosity got off her and she found as she found herself weaving through the throng of students. "What's happening there Ella?" She asked to her flatmate and her new friend who shares the same class with her, Ella sighed before saying, "nothing new just some rich dumb peoples trying to show who they are and moreover I hate them because they think every single girl loves them" Alice wasn't surprised as she has nothing to do with people here, Ella said  "but let's see what's going on we'll have something to gossip about for few days." she held Alice's hand and as they walked closer noises became more intense - shouts, cheers, and unmistakable sounds of fists meeting groans.

Her heart skipped a beat as she broke through the crowd and saw the source of chaos. There in center of it, the guy who helped her last last night. Traver. But the kind and demeanor he had show her then was no where to be found. Instead he was senselessly punching the guy on his face in a fierce almost feral expression. Alice's breath caught in her throat as she saw - blood smeared on Traver's knuckles, the other guy crumbled on the ground and the crowd instead of stopping the fight they were cheering for him as if he was some sort of hero. She couldn't understand what kind of place she has walked into where these kind of scenes are celebrated.

Her thoughts mix, a sense of fear and disbelief. "Is this who he really is, a violent ruthless guy who enjoy hurting others?" She felt a chill ran down her spine. The guy she met last night seemed almost gentle, now appearing to be nothing more than a rogue dangerous and unpredictable. But as much she wanted to turn away, she found herself Frozen her eyes locked on scene it was terrifying a small part of her was scared, scared of what he was capable of, scared of what he might do next. She didn't want to believe that the guy who showed his kindness could be this brutal.

[Alice's pov]

My mind couldn't combine the two images and I found myself stepping back, wanting to be anywhere but here.
Before I could retreat further, a firm hand grabbed my arm, pulling me back into the safety of the crowd, it was Ella, Ella Norris, my flatmate and the first friend I'd made here. she didn't look suprise by the scene at all infact she seemed disgusted but not at the violence. "Come on Alice" she said her voice sharp cutting through my daze. "You shouldn't be around these guys, they are nothing but trouble." I let her drag me away. As we moved away from the chaos, I glanced at Ella "who was that guy?" Her lips curling in disdain "The brutal one was Traver, Traver Marshall, thinks he's god's gift to the world and his little fan club eats it like a candy. Ugh I just can't stand guys like him always causing problem just for the attention and their so called image."

I didn't reply still figuring out what I've just saw. one thing was clear Traver wasn't the one I thought, but why did the realisation make my chest heavy as if I've lost somthing. Ella continued, "You stay away from him and his friends ok?, they are problem, a big one, they will drag you into their mess and leave you to pick up the pieces. Trust me Alice you don't want any part of that." I nodded "but how do you know so much about them?" She smiled before saying "I did my undergraduates from here and I'm seeing them since then, I never tried to make friends because everyone turns out be their fans or their enemies." I think I'm going to have a hard time here but I don't want any trouble so I will be staying in my comfort zone "so the authorities don't do anything?" I asked her as we walk together to the class, she said "they use to.. back then once or twice.. but since the trusties and principles are Traver's father's friend they don't say or do anything obviously they are just like Marshall."
