An Odd Couple

Chapter 10

Before I begin...
Apologies for not updating since forever. All of that due to hectic college schedules but now I have a break and I would want to complete this book because it is very close to my heart and I've thought about how to end it. So brace yourself!!!

Singapore airport is huge! And is so beautiful, that I was just staring and wondering how architects come up with such beautiful ideas when I was interrupted by a woman. She wore a grey pencil skirt,light blue blouse and her jet black hair was in a ponytail giving her a very professional look.

"You must be Crystal, I assume"- she asked me in perfect British accent.
" Umm yes, I am " - I said, a little startled by our encounter.
" Hello, I am Samantha Johnson, and I will be your escort for the project display and every activity that'll happen during the exhibition "- she smiled politely at me and for some strange reason, it felt like I know that smile from somewhere.

We were driven to a campus with hostels and Samantha helped me with finding my room and carrying my stuff.

" This is my mobile number, if you ever need anything just give me a call. And other kids will also be coming , so you will have to share the room with a girl. Now I've gotta go, the mess is downstairs, have dinner and sleep"- she smiled at me showing her dimples.
"Thank you, and have a safe trip back home"- I spoke.

Once alone, I started unpacking. The room wasn't really big, but not that small either. Two beds sat on the opposite sides,and there was one desk along with a chair. Nothing fancy.

After calling my family and assuring them about my safe reach,I decided to take a shower and then head downstairs for dinner. I wasn't even that hungry, but the jet lag was making it difficult to stay awake. I even wanted to do my hair, but in the end decided to leave it the way it was.

As I was about to make my way out, the door was knocked. Opening it revealed a pretty looking girl with a Bob cut. Her black hair and small black eyes told me she belonged to Asia.
" Annyong Haseyo! I am Kim Roo Mi!"- and she gave me a huge smile.
"Hello! I am Crystal Jones".
" American?"- she asked as she entered the room and placed her suitcase in the empty bed.
"Yeah and I assume you're from south Korea?"- I questioned.

" Yes, from Seoul, to be specific "- she smiled at me.

Her charm and smile told me that she was friendly . After chatting for about half an hour, I decided to head towards the dining hall as she already had dinner.

The dining hall was huge, and when I say huge, I mean hugggeeeee! So many counters, with chefs preparing dishes from around for world to suit everyone. As it was the first day, I decided to stick to sandwiches.

The teachers and representing students were busy chatting and laughter floated around the room. How easily people make friends, I thought to myself.

Walking towards the empty table at the corner of the hall, I bumped into a person, who seemed to be equally shocked as before I knew, I had ketchup all over my top.

But instead of apologizing, he ran his hand through his blond hair and spoke -
" Watch yourself, lady ".
And that did it, it turned on all of my anger.
