What a Fool

‾‾‾

I sat on my desk in my last class of the day. The chair was cold and so was the desk. I stretched my arms and legs, opening my mouth ready for a big long yawn. I opened my English textbook and lay my forehead there. No one is in the class yet, I'm too early.

3 minutes later the students started to come to their own class. I talked to my friend who sat in front of me while waiting for our english teacher to come to class. But then a math teacher from another class came in and told us to be quiet.

"Ok.. Mr. Nickson's class. My name is Mr. Lee and I'm here to tell you that he's absent for today" Mr. Nickson's actual name is Mr. Geun, but because he's an english teacher, he made himself an English name that is Nickson. He's a funny guy.

"It seems that he didn't leave you all with any work so this class will be a self study period" Mr. Lee closed his blue binder and left the class. As soon as he left, the class cheered like it was a party. Some guys and girls left the class and tended to go home. And it was only me alone.

What am I suppose to do? I scratched my neck thinking that it was itching and I started to packed up my textbooks and stuff. Let's just go home. I left the class and closed the door. I walked in the quite hallway as other classes were focused on its own lessons. There better be no security camera here, I thought while opening my locker.
I put my science and english notes and textbooks there and exit the school.

"So what should I do today?" Asking myself like an idiot in front of my school. Then I caught a glance on the elite university beside my high school.
I suddenly had a crazy idea. I ran back to my school, went to the closest washroom. I changed my uniform to casual clothes I brought everyday. I put on my grey shirt and then I put a blue sweater. It fits well with my black pencil-like jeans.

Yes I don't dress too fancy. I think it's because my mom always tell me to cover up myself. My favourite colour is black and I always wear sneakers. These are why I'm not that popular with boys. Boys prefer the feminine type with long hair, makeup, and cute face, as far as I encountered in my school. But I'm sure there are some that appreciate these looks.
I made my way to the university while thinking about how my style is different than others.

I took a deep breath and opened the main door to the university. Once I took my first step inside, I can feel a new air blowing against me. I smelled the young adult atmosphere that made me tense. It is a totally different feeling. I looked around the big atrium filled with tall grown up people bringing their binders and books between their arms. Couples everywhere holding hands together peacefully.

Even the smell of the cafeteria is different. I lingered around the first floor and eventually one of the professor was passing by. I immediately hide myself. But having no place to hide, I ended up looking like a girl who ran around in front of his eyes. He walked towards me.

"Hey, you student! What class do you have now?" He asked with a smile. I was shaking in front of him. Think! Think! Think, Sora!

"Uhh.. P-psychology" Uggh, is there even such a class? I rubbed my hands together. He was nodding his head and he giggled.

"Haha! I see, Computer Science and Philosophy? You're such a hard student" He tapped my shoulder while still giggling.

Huh? Isn't that a totally different subject? Is he deaf?

"Um, sir..." I tried to explain

"You should be in class right now. It's in the third floor room 339. Here, let me assist you" His hand gesture was telling me to go follow him to the computer science and philosophy class. I'm doomed!!
