My category was finally done. I can now walk around our campus and enjoy the program.. looking around- observe how this activity runs. I can see booths which were designed by different university's specialization through selling products- Culminating activities as a part of the programme.

Breathing freely loosen my tense I felt on my recent contest. To add on, I bought ice cream to chill my system.

"Ms. Fuertes, follow me. I have something to tell you." I heard a sudden voice.. After the instruction, she walk like in a hurry.

"Ok ma'am." I answered and followed her.

I was terribly shaking after seeing whom we are going to talk to.

Him.

"Sir Nicolai, this is Ara, the group leader of our debating team. They just finished their battle awhile aback. And they won." My couch said happily. And hold my both shoulder as a way of introducing me to this guy infront of us.

"Congratulations." And handed his hand on mine.

I froze.

My couch pinched me to bring me back to my senses. "Oh. I'm sorry." And handed my hand to his'. I can feel the warmth of his hand slowly consuming my entire system leading to nervousness.

"Anyway Ara, he's Nicolai Arafiles. He is one of our image here in our University. He is a law student and the president of the Law Council. He will share to your team his expertise. He will be your team's next couch." I was shocked on the last statement my couch just spilled out. Our Next couch. Next couch. Next couch. Continued echoing on my mind. My heart pounded as if there is no tomorrow. I can't determine how am I going to feel. Am I going to throw a celebration because I'll be seeing him day by day or Am I going to worry because this might turn everything blue.

I am in my room. Cloudy feeling. Oh! I cannot just ignore the recent scenario I'm involved with. How could this be? The guy who embarrassed me infront of many people is the same person I am bound to call 'Sir'. Oh'common.

I cant stop thinking how our training session will flow. Is it going to run smoothly or maybe this might lead to failure. Oh. Oh. Why him?

I cannot help myself to ask why he seemed not to notice who am I. It botheres me to think that he forgotten the lady he came to bumped with two years ago. Ish. The girl he flocked to get humiliated. Why are you asking Ara? You're not that type of girl that would stocked on one's memory. That amends my feeling anyway, I felt insulted.. Yeah. No one cares about my existence by the way.

Training Session
Day 1

We are on a quite room which seemed to be old and not opened for long years. Vines around the venue. Clock that's not functioning positioned on the middle of the wall. Cab webs everywhere .

"I guess this place is perfect for our tutorial session." He said delightedly and walk towards us,

"Yes sir. I see. We can have our session to be played smoothly. No one can distruct us." Yoona said as she agreed on sir's statement. And present an amusing smile.

"What do you think Ara?" Continued by Billy.

"Umm.. It's great." I said shortly.

"I think we can now start. Please have your seats." Sir instructed pointing to the chairs beside us and smiled.

"Isn't he's cute?" Giggled by Yoona as she whispered to me. I just smile as an agree.

"Good Morning. I am Nicolai Arafiles. As part of my duties, I was tasked to train the three of you for the Next competition you'll be competing with. I will be the one to accompany you all until you reach National Level. I am not that strick' so don't worry. Ok? But before we'll start, Can I ask a favor to the three of you?" He said and looked at us. His almond eyes shines as he looked pleased.

"Anything Sir." An immidiate answer of Yoona.

"I don't want to be called 'Sir', I prefer being called by my first name or just Nick. I am not a professor, I am also student. Just like you."

We raise our eyebrows as an approval sign.

The session took place interestingly. We shared our ideas. We shared laughs and giggles and all. I guess this is a good start. I hope so.
