"Goody! I'm here!" Gregory shouted in his excitement.

He is there standing in front of the gate of his new University, the Kings Cross university.

There more students are coming in, but Greg, he's just standing there

"mmm my nerves are all tingling" he spoke while looking at his shaking hands

He then looked at his brown leather bag and checked if his things and requirements are complete

murmuring in his head: "notebook, pencil case, papers, ... , ..."

"Ok, everything here! Hoo! I can do this!" his fist clenched in motivation

"You can do it Greg, go and give them a piece of you! You shall n... " Greg noticed that people are starting to stare at him

Greg blushed in embarrassment

"hehe, sorry, I got carried away"

He now started walking in

His eyes cant stay in one position, he's literally looking everywhere

We cant blame him, the University is pretty big

On main road of the university, you can see a covered side walk on the left with some trees and fauna

On the  right, there is a giant white building. It has doors of glass and has a sign above stating "cultural building"

He kept walking

Beside the cultural building stands the Gym. There are students in jersey uniform playing basketball.

In front of the Gym, just across the road, is another Building

"hmm so this is the Academic Building" Gregory told himself as he looks at his pamphlet pertaining to the structure

 It's now time for him to look for his room, but he found himself in a situation called "LOST"

"I cant be lost right now! It's my first day! Oh dang it!"

By the looks of it, he is in the University Park

"Okay, trust the pamphlet, let's see now..." he took the Freshman Guide, a book given to them upon enrolment

"So I'm at the park, just find the obelisk and to the right" he read

"Hi there! You lost buddy?" A tall old guy in white long-sleeves polo in brown slacks in shiny black shoes told him in a friendly old person tone. You can have a glimpse of his white hair under the white fedora hat.

"Yes sir, I'm kinda looking for the obelisk at this point" Greg replied in a very polite way

"Well the obelisk is just over there!" smiling and pointing at the tall tower like structure with a star on top

"OH! that's what it's called!" He said happily, "It would've been great if they placed some pictures here" he silently said that the guy barely heard

"Are you fine by your own now?" The old guy asked

"Yes sir, thanks a lot!" Greg replied

When Gregory is about to go, the old person asked him "What's your name kid?"

"Gregory sir, but they call me Greg"

The old man nodded, "You better be going, don't want to be late in class"

"Goodbye" Greg rushed to his way

Greg ran as fast as he could! No one can't stop him, running from hall to hall.
Words can't express how he feel, so here's a song!

(I' me - Phineas and Ferb)

I can do it, I can run, I can hunt you down.
You can try, but you can't stop me 'cause I'm gaining ground.
I'm light on my feet and I'm quick to the punch.
I had a heavy breakfast, but a real light lunch.
I'm a raging bonfire, a cherry bomb, I'm me.

I'm rough-and-tumble, I'm the one to beat,
I'm a fresh coat of blacktop burnin' at your feet.
I've got a poisonous sting, when I rain I pour.
I'm the best of the best, I'm the soup du jour.

I'm smooth as glass, and sharp as a tack, I'm me.
I'm the last and best stick of gum in the pack, I'm me.

I'm a strong woman, fast-talking, big-bad-dog walking,
High falutin', drum-beatin', foot stompin', corn-poppin',
Speeding locomotive that just won't stop!
I'm a hot apple pie with a cherry on top!

I'm a crowd pleasin', head spinnin',
Winnin' in the ninth inning,
Whip-lashing, record-smashin',
Black-tie party crashing!

Cyclone of fun, I'm an army of one!
I'm strawberry sprinkles on a hot cross bun!

I've got you beat by a nose at the finish line
I'm a semi truck trailer with a scent of pine
I'm the cold hard walls of a prison cell
I'm a winter trip to the Wisconsin Dells
I'm a blood-red rose with a string of thorns, I'm me!
I'm a heart-shaped locket on a cold steel chain, I'm me!

I'm a big hay-maker in a title fight.
I'm a cute black kitten with a nasty bite.
I'm an action double-feature on a Friday night!

I'm me!

"Krrriiiiinnggggg" The school bell rang, just in time for Greg to open the door on his classroom

Greg's heart was pounding so fast as he desperately catches his breath while still holding the opened door.

The whole classroom stared at him.

silent

until a familiar voice talked to him

"Hello Greg!" It's the old man!

"Wha? Ho? You wh?" Greg hardly said as he still catch his breath after a very long cardio

You see, his class room is on the 5th floor of the Main Building

The old man, which happened to be his professor, managed to get what he said and told him "Well I took the shortcut!"

"A shortcut!" Greg angrily told him with a touch of surprise

"The pamphlet is made for tours of the campus, you literally ran around the whole campus" the old man said with a friendly mocking voice

"ughh" the only thing the Greg managed to bring out

"I guess you don't need a pamphlet to find your seat?" the professor mockingly said to Greg

Greg then went to a vacant seat between a boy and a girl

"Hello class" said the professor, "My name is doctor Remus Finnigan, your Science teacher, and will be your adviser for the semester

Greg, after a while of rest, took a look at his new classroom.
The room was painted light green. It got six ceiling fans and two florescent lights. There are two bookshelves at the back of the room. Two blackboards on the front. Two doors on the left wall and three windows on the right. Greg's classmates are composed of 30 students, 15 boys and girls.

The whole day went well, since no one know each other yet, until lunch time came ...
