It's been two whole years since I moved away from Santa Monica to Sacramento, and I've been doing quite well. I got into Sac City College as a music major, and I'm only a month from graduating with my Associate's Degree. Of course, I've had to do my schooling under an alias, Robert Johnson. Thank God no one knew me in Sacramento. That made things a lot easier. So anyway, I'm walking through the college, enjoying the warm spring weather and jamming out to my music. I finally walk into the cafeteria and go to Subway. However, as I sit down, the cashiers say, "Welcome back, Ms. Bora."
I pray for my meal and start eating, ignoring the scuffling and groveling. I see it every day. People actually treat this random woman that they don't even know like a queen. It's quite annoying, actually. Why? I don't know, it just is. Anywho, I'm enjoying my lunch until suddenly, someone says, "Excuse me?"
I look up, and my jaw drops. Please tell my eyes are screwing with me! I shut them tight and open them again. She's still there. How did I not notice it before?!
I growl at her.
Me: What the hell do you want?
Cashier: Don't talk-!
Bora: Oh, it's okay, he has just mistaken me for someone else.
Cashier: But-
Bora looks back at the cashier.
Bora: I said it's okay, hon.
Cashier: Y-yes... Ms. Bora.
Bora looks back at me.
Bora: So shall we go somewhere and chat?
Me: I'm eating lunch.
Bora: Aw, come on, don't be like that.
Her eyes glow purple, and I laugh.
Me: Well, "Bora", I know it's been two years, but you've seriously forgotten who I am? I'm disappointed.
I look at her, and fear instantly appears in her eyes.
Bora: You...
Me: Yes, Bora, me.
Bora: An-
Me: I'm Robert Johnson now.
Bora: O-oh...
Me: Now, if you could kindly go away so that I can finish my food in peace. Thank you.
She walks away hesitantly.

As I finish the school day, I go home, do my schoolwork, and check my school email, as per usual.
Me: An email from the Dean?
I open it up and read it, seeing that Dean Park wants to meet me tomorrow in his office I've never even seen the Dean! Who is he?
