Chapter 4: Start of Orientation!

Leonard's POV

I was sitting in the Auditorium Hall with Jayden next to me. All of us were like anti-social people, all of us were heads down on our mobile phones!

"Eh... I heard that every year, the orientation is quite harsh... Do you think it's true or not?" Jayden whispered to me. I gave a slight shrug as I did not hear such history before. Next moment, I heard obvious footsteps coming from the stage. Feels like I'm in the army. 

"Year 1s!" a familiar voice shouted. "Welcome to the Faculty of Communication Arts! My name is Baris. I am a Year 3 student in this school, and I will be the chief of your orientation! So, I will be in charge of all your activities during this period of time! Be it your class periods, or even when you use the washroom! All of your movements and whereabouts, you MUST LET ME KNOW! Let me repeat, its a MUST TO LET ME KNOW! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" Baris shouted. I lifted my head up to see who was this senior that took up such a huge role that he made it seem like all our lives were in his hands. He looked very familiar...  

"DO. YOU. UNDERSTAND?!" he shouted at all of us as if we were his prisoners. 

  "Yes!!" Everyone replied in unison. 

"Well then! If you do have any inquiries or problem about what we planned for you or on the orientation, please come to me or you can talk to anyone in the Orientation blue t-shirt!" Baris added. 

I was not really paying attention to him as I was wondering who was he. He looked really familiar, like someone that I had seen recently before...

"After this whole orientation period, I hope you guys would be able to come to know your seniors and your friends that are sitting next to you. I am sure you are eager to know who they are, and they are also eager to know you! Find out more about them like what they like, or what are their hobbies. You know the activity book that you guys got when you came in? I want you guys to based on the criteria stated in the book to get to know about your seniors and friends! I will check personally all of your booklets... So here's your challenge, try to at least fill up 20 per criteria! Any Questions?" Baris added.

As Baris was giving all these instructions, I stared at his face as if I could spot those tiny ance on his face. I kept thinking where had I saw him before. He looked really familiar. But why can't I seem to remember?

"DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" He shouted.

"Yes!!" Everyone replied in unison.

"I CAN'T HEAR YOU! DO. YOU. UNDERSTAND?" He shouted.

"YES!!"

"Alright... Seems like all of you understood what I just said. Well then, let me test some of you..." Baris looked at me with really schemey eyes, but I was not paying any attention to it as I was just in my world thinking who is he and where had I saw him before. 

"That boy! In that Red outer sweater! Are you not hot? You're wearing a red sweater on the outside and shirt on the inside! You! Come here!" Baris pointed at me as he criticises my wear. However, I was not paying single attention and not even aware that he was pointing to me. 

"Seriously..." Baris mumbled to himself as he rolled his eyes, "OI! YOU!"

"Leonard... LEONARD! I think Baris is calling you..." Jayden whispered to me while hitting my thighs with his hands. 

Instead of responding, I suddenly remembered who he was! He was the one that mistakenly knocked on my door on the first day when I shifted in! I jumped out of my seat and shouted, "OHH ITS YOU!" 

Then the hall suddenly filled with a series of laughter and chatter... Huh? What? What's going on? 

"ITS YOU! I AM CALLING YOU! ARE YOU EVEN PAYING ATTENTION?" Baris shouted towards me.
