02| new life, ready? start!

After what seemed like hours, you finally reached the university. You've never been this glad to reach anywhere than you were today due to of course a certain 'soon-to-be' couple.
You won't say you didn't find them cute but their constant blushing over small things, example when your brother was changing the gear and his hand accidentally brushed Azalea's, got them flustered.

'Just fingertips, not even his full hand tsk.' You wonder what they'll do when they start dating, the thought itself made you shudder.

As soon as you got out of the vehicle, you took a hold of Azalea's hand and practically dragged her ignoring your brother's words of telling you to be safe. Don't get it wrong, you weren't one bit excited but you knew you'll get late by the time you grab your schedules and get to the designated class. And you definetely didn't want to be scolded on the first day itself.

Passing by the corridors, you noticed how the students were staring at you two wondering who the newbies were. But you brushed them off and spotted the door with office written in bold italics making you sigh in relief. Pushing the door open, you were hit by a wave of cool air coming from the air conditioner causing you to slightly shiver. You then politely greeted the receptionist before quickly grabbing your schedules she had placed atop the table.

"Okay so we have just one class together that is of course, English." Azalea stated while you both walked out. You knew you both will be separated since Azalea was majoring in Fine arts & History while you were majoring in Science & Mathematics. So unfortunately, you'll have just one class together.

"Yeah..." you mumbled sadly which didn't go unnoticed by your best friend as she pulled you in a tight hug. You locked your arms around her waist after placing your chin on her shoulder. "Aww don't be sad, it's just for five hours and then we have the entire evening to ourselves." She tried to encourage you but you knew she was upset too by the sad tone lacing her words.

"Mhm." You mumbled half heartedly. You wish you had chosen fine arts & history alongside her but history was something you despised. Not because it contained information related to the past but because you had to memorise each and every date which were honestly not gonna help you in any way. What the hell are we gonna do by remembering past stuff anyway? The world has moved on, so we better focus on the future than to sulk over the past events.

Detecting your discouraged mood, Azalea pulled back and squished your cheeks. "Cheer up babygirl and let's get going!" She squealed while you rolled your eyes. "I still don't understand what you are so bashful for but let's get it."

After going separate ways, you headed upstairs for your first class which was Chemistry.

As cliché as it sounds, you definetely didn't notice the guy running down the hall because you were too busy looking for your Chemistry class and yes, it did result in you crashing into him due to your sudden urge to turn around and know the cause of those sudden footsteps. Don't worry, no books or papers were flown into the air as everything was stuffed into your bag nor did his hands slide around your waist to grab you, but your ass did bump onto the floor, hard. You heard someone groaning which resulted in you opening your eyes and seeing that it was a guy who also fell along with you. Damn, the impact was that brutal.

He opened his eyes and looked at you and that's the moment you couldn't stop yourself from getting into a trance. Deep russet orbs gleaming under those round rimmed glasses starred right back at you. Chestnut hair ruffled and messily sitting above his head but somehow making him look elegant and that oh so smooth tanned skin. Your eyes couldn't hold back leading them to stare at his rosy lips making you wonder what chapstick he used to make them look so soft and mushy.
