After one week, I felt like I never left. I felt like I never got depressed or insane. Rey was good, glowing and… shaved.

And I was BETTER…or at least I thought so… I went back to my studies, more focused and strong. I got my A’s in class back and I’m never… never gonna let go of it.

My friends were shocked because of how freaking abnormal that I got back on my feet with just one occasion. Believe me it wasn’t as easy as how I’ve dealt with depression before. They were worried.

Well, they should be… especially Rey. I’m never showing it but I’m INSANELY focusing now in my new mission; and that is to GET BACK on the Sylvia that killed my family. She found a way to reach me from her universe… it never really occurred to me before but when she can do it…

then so can I.

I’m so amazed at how much I’ve missed in a month from school. Lessons were already, if not ten topics advanced, were totally different from where I left off. Philosophy 101 is now “Philosophy; Revised Edition” and Religion was about topics I never even saw in the books. Our Universal Studies that actually consumes about two subjects in the morning is now split up into two subjects; Cosmology and Inter-Galactic Relations. The first subject I know so well, but the second one I never heard of before… actually, forget about the subject following Cosmology… not as important as it should be.

Cosmology was a more like… “A new and broader approach” to Universal Studies… so they say. Fortunately the first time it was introduced was the time I got back.

“Good morning class, I’m Professor Jonathan Mark Quesada and I’ll be teaching cosmology” introduced the new… handsome professor.

“Excuse me sir, where’s Professor Muhg?” squeaked Patricia.

Ugh. Patricia know-it-all…everybody hates her. Well, I’m a “know-it-all” too… I just don’t rub it in all students’ face like what she does.

“He’s teaching Universal Studies to the lower years now” Professor Quesada said in his handsome voice

Damn. I’m having a minor crush with one of my professors. Why does he have to be young, smart and attractive???

He’s a rare specie that teaches in a school full off old farts as his colleagues.

Anyway… aside from being handsome… he’s a pretty cool professor too. He went on talking about the history of his subject and the preview of our studies and everybody was participative. Nah, maybe he just appealed cool because he’s handsome. I miss my old Universal Studies professor; Professor Muhg. He may be an old fart but he was cool too.

I was flipping through the pages of the Cosmology textbook when the bell rang.

“Ms. Philipps, may I see you in my office?” Professor Quesada called.

I didn’t do something bad, did I? I was listening in his lecture… well, kind of.

“S-sure, professor” I said, packing my textbooks.

We went in his office and he offered me a seat.

“Sorry for your loss” he said with his hands on the table.

“Professor?”

“Your family… I heard they were… umm… about a month ago… I’m sorry.” He said removing his glasses and rubbing his eyes. He really does look too young to be a professor.
