DREAM KINGS (Shawn Mendes x Harry Styles)

C h a p t e r [75]

"Good morning." She says, with her upper body peeking through the door, "Do you know where Professor Riles's office is?"

"Oh, good morning, yeah, I think I do." I said with a smile.

"Can you help me? I'm just new here."

"New? Wait.."

She bounces her head with a smile, "I'm the transferee."

My jaw dropped, "Oh my gosh. Welcome!" I said.

"Thanks. I'm Yuna Danwilb, by the way." She opens the door widely and went inside. She raised her hand and reached it to me, asking for a handshake.

I stood and rushed to her and grabbed her hand, "I'm May. May Archer."

"Nice to meet you May. So.. uh.. can you help me?"

"Of course!" I chuckle, "This way."

We head out of the room and walked into the hallway. She looks around, I don't know if her face is giving a disgusted or impressed expression to the place.

"I hope you're gonna be fine with everything here." I said.

"What makes you say that?"

"Well, because a transferee was transferred here before and he just hates everything until eventually he starts to do be okay with some things."

"Transferee.. what's his name?"

"Shawn."

"Shawn.." she says like she's whispering to the wind, "Can I meet him? I mean, I'm a transferee, he's a transferee.."

"Sure." I said with a feeling of hesitation.

"Okay, cool." She then changed the subject, "You know in my country? In the U.S, our hallways are three times wider than this hallway. And the buildings? They're huge like a palace."

"Really..? That's.. interesting."

"It is. And the students there sure looks good and fine."

"Why'd you transfer here?"

"Excuse me?"

"Oh–no. I'm not trying to sound like—I'm just curious why you thought of transferring here."

"It wasn't actually my idea. It was my dad's friend, he forced my dad to transfer me here."

"Why?"

"It's a secret I cannot tell."

I pucker my lips and didn't respond.

"How about you?" She asks, "Why'd you decided to take college in this school? There's a lot of much greater and bigger schools out there, why here?"

"This school is actually my dad's alma mater and he's the one who recommended this school to me and my mom. He told me that this school has great teachers and great facilities, and it's much closer to our house."

"Mm, really? Where do you live?"

"Just a few streets away."

"Interesting. I wish I'm living in a house closer to this school, so I won't have to travel for hours just to get here."

"Hours? Where do you live anyways?"

"Golden Gate subdivision. It's not permanent though, I'll leave that ugly place as soon as I graduate college."

I nod, "We're close." I said.

Walking for more than 2 minutes, we reached the office door but Shawn's already heading out.
