Shaking feet, sweating hands, observant eyes. 

I walked through this massive hallway swarmed by people wearing unfamiliar masks. 

"Just like any other semester", I whispered to myself after taking a big gasp.

I am Sunny Williams, a "newly" transferred student here in Min-Bong University. Well, it is not new to me anymore, been transferring year by year. My father's job makes all of us in the family come with him wherever he's assigned. We, my brother and I, do not have any choice but we always pull off a good fake smile and tell our parents we are fine.

This university, compared to my previous campuses, is humongous. I thought I am assured and have my little brother, Zachary Williams to be my safety blanket at school. But then we found out his building is four blocks away from mine, maybe about 10 minutes of brisk walking. Don't get me wrong, I do hate my brother.

Walking through the hallway, I could see tons of eyes looking at me at the corner of my sight. Most people are telling me that I am lucky to have an American blood. Well, I and other Filipino-Americans would relate that it is very troubling in our daily life. People look at us for having different skin complexion, just like what they are doing right now. They tease us on having an accent in both English and Filipino language. That is part of the package, I guess.

Busy hallway it is, as it is the first day of class. People have certain groups. Well, I try to judge them, this is to kill my time and ease my nerves. On my left, I could see all those muscular heartthrobs wanna-be, with one look, you can guess they are the athletes of the school. One of them is even handling a basketball, near them are girls that look like a cheerleader squad they are so petite but they have this seducing look to the guys like they are a tiger who is on a hunt for its prey.

On the other side, I saw the group of nerd students where most of them are wearing this "jolog" type of clothes, have a very long and messy hair and got a lot of books on their hands. My eyes also catch the group of students that looks like a group of gangster. They have different kinds of tattoos on their bodies, lots of piercings and have this spikey colored hair. I am still fond of judging my fellow students when ....


*KRINGGGGGGG*


I was back in the reality when I heard the sound of the bell then it hits me that the class will start anytime soon and I still don't know where my room is, so I ran at full speed without knowing where I should go.

*boogsshh* (I ran into someth... someone?)


(looking down) "oh my gosh sorry I'm in a hurry and I didn't saw you coming" I said while helping myself to stand up


Rain's POV

Looking at the mirror, checking if I am looking good 'coz it's the first day of school. And maybe, just maybe, today will be my lucky day in finding Ms. Right. I've been looking for her for almost five years. And I'm hoping that I will be able to find her as soon as possible.

I am Rain Lee, a graduating student of Min-Bong University. At last, after six years of suffering from taking a course, I don't want to take. Well, my family is rich just like any other students in our university. My parents own a restaurant with a total of 20 branches in Luzon. They are both business-minded people and aside from a restaurant they also have other businesses. By the way, I am their only child that's why I can get all I want, EXCEPT for taking the course I ever dreamed of. Tss! Nevermind!
