Prologue

....Alika raised his head to look at the woman walking towards him. She was all buxom blonde and tempting but then again his taste for women had diminished , something was seriously wrong with him. He was definitely starting to question his sexuality. But men seem to be even less appealing urghhh.
She handed him the paperwork he had come for
"Congratulations, it's a full scholarship" she grinned all teeth out.
All his senses were screaming cougar. So he didn't smile back , nodded his head slightly and walked out of there.

The spring air was amazing and by the blow of the breeze he could tell a storm was coming. How he knew no idea, but even at a young age he could always tell. He knew something was off about him but unlike most people Alika just didn't want to know.

He had a better sense of smell than most, wonderful he left it at that. As he got older he got stronger and smarter all the better he took it as natures gift to enable survival. After all Mother Nature owed him, she had taken both his parents at a young age. He didn't even remember them, sadly.

He walked out of the offices and stood facing the main building of the college. He sighed what was wrong with him, he had been into Cambridge, Harvard and MIT but this small community college had called to him, he must be mad bordering on insane. But he had survived so far relying on his instincts and if they want him here, here is where he will be.

The college was small, nothing out of the ordinary. Medium scale facilities, in a small town with lots of scenery and forests. Maybe that's what pulled him in he always had an affinity for nature.

A group of students passed by. He listened In and accessed them. Nothing extraordinary at all. Taking one last look around he was about to leave when a car caught his eye. In the small parking lot a Camaro was parked. He smiled maybe there was hope for this small town after all I mean if someone could afford and is actually driving a Camaro then all can't be that bad.
He left the school premises with a smile on his face and a spring in his step. He walked briskly back into town and straight into the flat he has rented into for the year.
Now we would all wonder how an orphan can afford to rent out a flat. Remember the part about him becoming smarter as he aged. At first Alika worked small jobs around. Anything he would get his hands on because he was ok proud to beg for his next meal. But then it wasn't enough, he started investing and he was surprisingly good at it.
His flat was sparsely furnished. He had come here on instinct purely and he hadn't time to plan ahead for his stay here. He would do it gradually. After all tommorow was a brand new day right???
