MAYA :
Three years later :
It's been a three years since I first came to Chicago, and It's everything I thought it would be. I have been acing all my classes and I am enjoying every bit of college.
In the beginning I was scared, I kept thinking things like - what if I'm the dumbest one there or, what if I don't make any friends and spend four years like a loner.
But thankfully everything turned out fine. I even made a best friend, Kiya.
She and I are like soul sisters.She's from L.A. but came here to study English literature.
I met her on the first day when I asked her that if she could tell me where the chemistry lab is. She walked me down and by the time we reached the classroom we were already classing ourselves as close friends. In just three years she has become my best friend and confidant.I am so happy to have gained a friend like her.
Currently I'm on my way to her house, she lives here in a two -bedroom apartment, alone. As soon as she opens the door, I'm being dragged to her room.
"Do you remember Nick?" I nod.
"Well guess what, he got us into FADE!" She started screaming like a mad -woman.
"Wait Nick, as in your hot classmate who is gay?" I said suddenly remembering him.
Kiya introduced me to him once, and let me tell you he really is hot. With his rugged blonde hair and brown eyes, and an athletic build , he has both men and women chasing him .
"Yeah, the same Nick. He got us into FADE, free of cost as one of the bouncers owes him a favour." She said.
"What's so great about FADE?" I question, but as soon as the words fall from my mouth, she stared at me as if I had grown two heads.
"Seriously Maya? You're hopeless. FADE is the hottest and most expensive popular club in all of Chicago. It's owned by a multi - millionaire who is also rumoured to be in the mafia. And we are going there tonight." She tries to convince me.
"Should we not go there then, since it's owned by the 'mafia'?" I state the obvious.
"Oh, come on Maya, don't be so dramatic. I said it's a rumour, not all rumours are true, besides we are lucky enough to even get in that club. We are going and that's final." She points a finger at me as if daring me to challenge her .
"I even asked your aunt and she gave her permission for you to go, as long as we don't get in trouble".
Kiya already made up her mind, so I don't waste my time in trying to convince her otherwise."Fine, we'll go..." I reason, making her scream with joy.
"Yes! I even got a dress for you, now go take a bath, get shaved while I start getting ready." she says while pushing me into the bathroom.
