The Days of our Romance

UNIVERSITY

September 16, 2019
First day of college, I'm in another city Very different from mine, many buildings so big that they look like skyscrapers, nature is very scarce that the trees look sad, almost nobody notices them, everyone here looks busy, they walk so fast that it seems like they are running, maybe nobody notices these beautiful trees in nature since they are solitary and huge, very rare to see in a city. The school is huge, it has like 3 floors high, it looks so historic that it's like being in Hogwarts with those buildings that are probably more than 100 years old, and everything is deceptive on the outside the buildings are very much from the 60s and inside everything is more technological, with a technology
that seemed from the other world, from the future but this is the future. The courtyards are small but beautiful, with a vanilla and coffee smell, with huge trees that give too much shade and cover from the immense sun, there are some very nice tables under these trees and it is full of students on their break, reading books,
talking among friends about life, and all the teachers look so
friendly and ready to support you in everything.
And there among all of them, those who already knew their usual place where
More than 8 hours a day passed, we were the new ones.
All the new students look disoriented, they look confused.

They want to take on the world in a second, they look happy and without knowing how to find their classroom, wrapped in halos of mystery for showing the best of themselves and making a good impression on the first day, ashamed of doing something wrong without
realize and everyone notices. And there among all of them I am, a girl with big brown eyes, seeing everything around me as if it were all new to me, with jet-black hair that curls around my ears while the wind blows with
melodies to the rhythm of life.
busy at university
Fair-skinned, sensitive and always burns easily, she rarely
achieves
even a slight tan. And running around the university, arriving late, but enjoying the
adrenaline as he tries to reach the time goal. I'm in my classroom,
it's the fourth class of the day. There are 25 students in my class, 6 of them are local students. I was curious where they came from and how they got to this
busy and sad city. The rest of the students were from different countries around us, eager to take on the world, starting over, leaving our families behind to experience a new life. And everything was
new to our eyes. The teacher arrived again, we started introducing ourselves. -Hello,
my name is Maria. I come from the south. -From the south, which south? - I asked, I probably saw my partner baddest on the planet. But it doesn't keep bothering me
He answering -Baja California south.
I stayed quiet and continued listening to the presentations.
-Hi, my name is So-Young, I come from Korea.
-"Hello, my name is, hello, my name is, hello, my name is." I don't know if | suffer from attention deficit, oh my head only saw faces new, new stories that I didn't think about anymore. But that was all what I heard and felt very far away when I was there
sitting in the front among everyone. I looked at the clock and the hands seemed to go so slow that even a turtle
would look fast compared to this bad weather. It seems like an eternity to wait for most of them to introduce themselves, so m
or love. Oh I never felt this before I liked to feel it with you. But still our conversations were distant, we were focused on other things as to stress ourselves out about putting together a conversation. After all we were from different countries, different cultures and different ways of seeing life. That later it would be difficult to be someone different with you and I left it alone, I focused more on passing the subjects and getting to know the city and I forgot
about Wanting to meet you. For that I could fall in love with someone

A simple message caused me to have tachycardia.
