As the cold rain poured on our heads this day 10 years ago, our only thought was that we had committed a grave and unforgivable sin. We were responsible for the loss of a life. That day was meant to be the happiest day of our lives. We just graduated from college after all.

My name is Oliver Oak, an ordinary college student with average grades and a bright future. Today is the day I finally graduate from college and enter the real world as a citizen. Getting a job, earning salaries, getting married, becoming a father, and eventually dying. That would probably be my future in a nutshell from how I see it. But before all that, I'll celebrate my graduation as any regular student would, with my friends, Cooper Cadvale and Isabelle Harrison. The three of us are planning to go on a trip to the luxury winter resort atop of Mt.Buller for a weekend of rest and relaxation.

Please do notify me if I am making any grammatical errors or spelling errors. As I am a busy student, it is most probably possible for me to make mistakes during fast typing.
Hope you are enjoying it.
