Melody In A Photgraph

Chapter One

Ethan's POV

My wristwatch says its 08:30 A.M., Its exactly thirty minutes before my home room class and the new semester begins.

The hallway is filled by my fellow students who are most probably, making a reconnect to an old friend and possibly trying to make new ones.

I silently observe them and I feel glad that most of them are painted with smiles in their faces.

I see some folks from my home room last year and they look glad that classes are back.

To my left side, I see some students shyly standing in one corner near the lockers. They are wearing blue chino shorts, a white shirt with our school logo imprinted in the left chest area.

In addition to that, they are having the same bag that I had before, a black leather bag pack with gold color buttons and the emblem of the six-winged guardian in it.

"Freshman/Transferee Starter Pack"

Yes, you heard it right. In this University, its essential to identify who are new, and this cool stuff is suggested by yours truly.

They, referring to the newbies are required to wear the starter pack until the 'blue bonfire ceremony' which is exactly three weeks from now.

To my right, I see some of the old folks fooling around their homies, I see some of them giving brofists, a pat in the head some even gives each other a warm cuddle.

Boys Stuff, cool and intimate. Yes. This is an All-Men Univeristy and I am sure they love it here.

As I walk pass the hallway, I heard a familiar nickname being called and a tap on my right shoulder.

"Hey Mr.P"

Hey!

I stand in front of a guy with dark brown hair styled as pompadour and his signature emerald green eyes that stand out with his physique.

Ny...Its you Nyle!

Is Mr.P having a hard time remembering people?

Cut off the nickname silly boy, its just that, I see you got your 'shake-over'.

Yes. I guess I have one

So, May I know what made you reinvent yourself?

As soon as I have thrown the question at him, I hear some loud footsteps coming our way.

"Baby!!"

I found myself dumbfounded when I see a guy about five inches taller than me wearing the 'Newbie Starter Pack' wrapping Nyle in his long arms and gave him a peck in his now blushing cheeks.

"Look at me baby! I look so cute with this clothes provided by the student council!, its so cool"

The tall guy is overwhelmed, almost jumping up and down. He paused for a moment and has gone silent upon seeing me talking to Nyle.

I started to control myself from blood boil upon hearing some words that came out from his mouth.

"Now who is this baby? A former hubby you have who is surprised with how handsome you can be?"

I immediately saw Nyle elbow him softly and gave him a stern look in his eyes.

"Hey! What is it that for?, You can just tell me the truth"

I see, a newbie with a big trashy mouth here.

Hey Ethan, please, I apologize for how my boyfriend acts. Nyle cut me off with an urgent sounding concern in his voice.
