No, no, no, no, NO!!
I can't be late today. I'm so screwed if Daddy gets to know that I'm late on the first day of uni.
I will have to ask Ben to drive, at least he will not go around complaining to Father. I'll have to tolerate his flirting though... who cares, I will just ignore him.
-------------------------------------------
Finaly, I'm here.
First I will have to go to the admin office and get my schedule.

"Yes sweet heart what are we here for?" the lady behind the table asks. It's weird that she says 'we' when she only means me.
"I need my schedule ma'am," I reply.

"New here, are we?" the plural comes again!
"Yes, ma'am."

"And your name darling?"
"I'm Auden... Auden Beckett."

"Here take your schedule and let's show you around."
"So are you Princess Auden?" she questions, and needless to say, I'm perfectly puzzled. Am I that famous, now?

"Umm...y-e-yes..um why do you.. ask?"
"Don't worry darling, no one else knows," she replies in a voice which desperately hopes to be convincing. "Only a few important people know about it. You know, as staff we have to be aware about all these things. I'm Andriea by the way."

"Yeah, nice name... Sorry, what things?"

"Haha... So which is the first lecture?" she completely ignores my question, besides the pathetic excuse of fake laughter for an answer.

"French."
"Here... right this way."
-------------------------------------------
"Hello Miss Susan, we have a new student, Auden Beckett," the lady form the admin office, Andriea, introduces me.

"Hello, Auzen," the French professor greets me with a graceful smile. "Welcome to Mondale Acazemy...we just starrted...go take a seath.."

"Za--thanks," I swear that accent is contagious. "Thank you ma'am."

-------------------------------------------
I met a girl named Hannah whom I tentatively think I can call a "friend"; very, very few individuals in that list. I met her during Statistics lecture. I was so curious as to why she was wrapped up!
She said it was her religious thing. But it made her look so innocent and pure...and mahn the girl was hilarious so we decided to meet up in the cafeteria during the break.

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

I'm now in the cafeteria and can't find the one girl who's the only thing I've been looking forward to yet.

"Hey, Auden...over here," I hear her voice and turn around to see Hannah sitting at a tiny table with two chairs. "So how was the first day?"

"We are not done with the day yet, sweety," I answer, taking a seat; I just cannot be not annoying. Just can't.

"Stop acting like my mum, Auden," she makes a face.

"Your mum acts like this? What's her name??Does she live with--"

"Hold on, Auden," she interrupts me mid-sentence. "Aren't those too many questions about mum? And all moms on earth are the same you know. So you tell me how's your mum and I'll tell you if the behaviour matches."

"Um...I...um don't know.."

"Auden you serious you don't kn--oh," then it dawns on her. "Oh..I'm so sorry..I..arrm...didn't know. Really sorry..."

"Hannah you don't have to apologize...you didn't know...it's totally alright." I reply. What can this poor girl do by apologizing anyway? "Let's go eat something."

"Exactly my thoughts," she says, going with my change of topic. "Let's have burgers."

"Berg-whats?"

"Auden you must be joking," she exclaims with a stress on 'must'. "You don't know what's a hamburger? Drop it, I'm gonna eat something in the veg section, don't know if they've got veg burgers."

"No never tried a ham-burg-r before," I try out the name. Sounds nice. "And why do you want veggies? Are you a vegetarian?"

"No I only have Halal stuff and don't ask me what that is, that's like the 'Allowed' stuff, I'll tell you later," she rushes to choose her veg meal. "Just hurry up and buy something and eat. We've just got like 12 minutes left."

O my gawd!

"What, Hannah? I can swear it was just for four minutes that we chatted," I cry out in exasperation. Time's time, and it's got a habit of running too fast. "One hamburger please. Thank you."
