A loud and annoying ringing sound broke the silent surrounding as the time showed 6:00 am. "Wake Up Aaron ! Today is your important day !" screamed out a middle-aged lady, excitedly from the outside of her beloved boy's white empty room. Still closing his eyes, a 19-year-old boy stopped the alarm and got up to start his important day. He walked straight into the rented apartment bathroom. The family rented the apartment because they need to send off the boy to college. They are actually from the other state which requires them to use airplane to travel to the place.

"Here's your breakfast Aaron," a plate of fried rice with a sunny side on the side was served to her youngest child. A smile cracked on Aaron's tired face and he started to eat his breakfast. "Tell your father if he wants breakfast, the fried rice is in the pan. I want to get ready. I'm so excited for today !" she said while goofing around and walked upstairs. Aaron shook his head and smiled because his mother is his happy pills. After he was done, he got up and washed his plate because he knew that if he didn't wash his plate, his mother is going to use that to ruin his day. "You took your breakfast already ?" a deep voice from a 54-year-old man which gave Aaron a mini shock. Aaron nodded. "The fried rice is in the pan. If you want i can get it for you, " Aaron volunteered. "Sure, get me some, " the man replied. Paul proceeded to get his father some fried rice.

-On their way to the University-

"I can't believe my baby are going to start his college ! It felt like it was yesterday we sent you to kindergarten. Ah , how fast time flies," cried the lady knowing that her baby has grown up. "And we are here ! " Aaron's father stated. Gazing straight ahead, the dark blue pimped car turned right to the main gate of the university. They were greeted by the cool morning breeze while the tall thin trees swinging from left to right everytime the breeze blew. The young man stared outside of the car's window looking at some students seemed to be walking to classes with their pals. Some looked exhausted might be because of the sleepless night doing the assignments. "That might be me one day, " Aaron thought to himself.

-At the registration counter-

Almost all boys were wearing plain white formal shirt paired up with a pair of black slack pant and black leather shoes completed the look. For the girls , they were either wearing short-sleeve white shirt with black skirt up to their knees or a formal attire that were appropriate for the registration. Looking worried, Aaron got the attention of his mother. "Did you bring your important document dear ? Don't tell me you forgot about it and how are you going to register ?" questioned his mother, Madam Tina. "Yes mom. I brought everything just like you told me so. Don't worry, " replied the young man while he smirked to his mother's reaction.

"Then why you looked so anxious ? You should be excited like me ! " exclaimed his mother. "I'm worried that i won't get along with these people mom. They looked older than i am, " muttered the babyfaced young man. Aaron has always been insecure about his look because people always make fun of him before. "Don't you worry dear. Hi dear ! What is your name ? This is my son, Aaron. He is a shy boy but he is the best person that you can befriend with ! " his mother bragged excitedly to another boy that looked friendly to be her son's first friend in his college years.

"I'm Zed. Nice to meet you Aaron, " the smiley young man responded. He thought of making new friends before actually start his university life. " So you guys can talk to each other because i need to go to the washroom. Give me a call if you are done with the registration. Don't messed up this chance to make friends," Aaron's mom said and kind of whispered towards the end of her words, sounded like she is truly concerned about her youngest son. "Wow , your mom are really love you to the moon. You are lucky man," Zed commented. "Well sometimes she can become a monster when she's mad but i love her too," declared the young man. " So, what programme are you taking ?" he added.
