A college boy was running on his bicycle. His face was glazing, hit by the sunlight that greeted the morning which was about to rise to meet the afternoon.

"Hi, Uncle Ming!" The boy greeted the man that was starting his car engine which wasn't go smoothly.

"Morning ,Granny Tabitha!" When passed  by an old lady which carried a bouquet of lilies.

He smiled all the way to his college, greeted everyone that he passed by around the neighborhood. He stopped at the neighborhood coffeeshop, parked his bicycle and entered the coffeeshop which still packed with the customer.

"Whoa... What a busy bussiness, Uncle Lin!' he approached the man who was busy behind the cash machine.

"Hey! Sunshine! As always!" The man behind the cash machine smiled widely saw the boy coming. He grabbed something from underneath the machine's table.

"Thanks, Uncle Lin!" The boy smiled as he received the paper food bag. It was his usual meal for him to bring to the college for his lunch, since he didn't like to queue in the crowded campus cafe and it was harder to find the empty seat that wasn't packed by the bunches of bullies, celebrities wanna-be, popular students, nerdies, smarts and genius students.

He hoped on his bicycle and continue d cycling to the campus with his bright smile all over his fair face.

Wang Yibo was his name. 19 yo. A second year college student of Science program. He wasn't come from the wealthy family. He was under the custody of his guardian, his aunt, the sister of his  late mother which died in the airplane's blast along with his father when he was 12 yo. Geraldyn, his aunty was working as an accountant in an agency company. She worked hard to pay the life axpenses and the bills. Yibo didn't want to be a burden to his aunt, so he worked as a part time waiter at Uncle Lin's cafe after his college to pay his college.

Yibo parked his bicycle on the two wheels parking lot. He walked up into the corridor to get to his locker. He tapped the four digit combination numbers of his locker and took out the books for the earlier class subject, when he overheard the girls next to his locker were talking.

"The old Dean has retired. And the new one has come to replace him.." girl one said.

"Have you seen the new dean?" Girl 2 asked.

"I saw him! I saw him,!" Girl 3 squealed.

"So the new dean is a male?"

"Yeah! And he:s still young! Maybe on his 20s. 25-26 like that!"

"Is he handsome?"

"Owh! He is to die for! He's so handsome, cute and mature! I want a boyfriend like him!"

"Dream on, Fei! Dream on..!" Her friends laughed at her, as they walked away from the lockers.

Yibo closed his locker and looked at the girl's direction which still gossiping about the new dean.

Yibo shook his head and chuckled without humor. Then he proceeded to his class.

On the way to his class he saw the students made a way to someone who gonna pass the hallway. Yibo squinted his eyes and continued walking, when he saw the principal walked with his secretary and a young man beside him. Yibo stuned on his spot saw the young man, couldn't move out of the way.

"Move!" The secretary pushed him aside the hallway and he staggered a little.

That young man in his 20s glanced at him and smirked. After the trio left, the student came crowd into the hallway back and make noise again.

"The new dean is so handsome and young!" A few girls squealing and screaming.

Some boys also complimented at him.

"Yibo! What the fuck, man! Why are you stuned?" Qi Pei Xin, his bestfriend hit his back, retrieved his soul back altogether.

"Um.. who- who is that?" Yibo felt nervous as he stutered.

"He's the new dean! Sean Xiao Zhan!" A Qing, his other bestfriend answered.

"Owh?" Yibo only could say that.

"Let's go to the class!" Pei Xin pished Yibo's back.

And they walked away, proceeding to the class. The bell rang when they were on the way to the class,made the student ran around to the different direction to get to their respective classes.

The class has just begun. The Professor has stood up in front of the class and started his lecture. Yibo focused on the lecture that the professor was giving. Pei Xin nudged his elbow that laid on the desk.

"This Friday night are you free?" He asked Yibo.

Yibo glanced at him.

"No," he replied, shortly.

"Aish!" Pei Xin made a complain. "I thought we can hang out at my house. My parents are going oversea this coming Thursday. So I'll be all alone at home..!"

"I have to work. And Friday night the bussiness is in its peak," said Yibo.

"Can you come after your work?" Pei Xin asked.

"I don't know if Geraldyn will give me permission," Yibo replied. Geraldine is his aunt. He used to call his aunt by her name, since Geraldyn is unmarried and still very young when she first time took the custody of Yibo.

"I think she will..!"

"See how. I'll be late come back from work om Friday.."

"It's ok. I will wait..!"

Pei xin smiled at him. Yibo just. Sighed and return his attention to the proffessor.

Lunch time. As usual, Yibo would go to the back yard where he can  sit on the grass or the benches, instead if the packed cafetaria.

He opened his lunch that Uncle Lin gave him this morning. It was two sets of tuna sandwiches with mayo. Aunty Lin who made them for him. Sometimes he got a box of sushi set if he's lucky.

Yibo smiled. Then he stuffed his mouth with the sandwich. He opened the notebook where he scrambled the some notes from the lecture earlier.

"Aish! Homework again... " He muttered. Then he grabbed his water bottle and drank the contain.

When he was tilted his water bottle, he saw a figure walking out from behind the big tree. Yibo lowered the bottle down and watch as the figure more clear to see. It was the new dean!

The dean looked at him and smirked. Then he walked away.

"Why does he keep smirking everytime he sees me?" He mumbled to himself

But he just brushed it off and continue enjoying his lunch. He sat there after hue finished his lunch, and read the next class' subject book until the bell rang, signaling everyone that the lunch break has over.
