The Start of my Campus Life
1539 Words
I woke up and my stomach was rumbling. I haven't had a decent meal since I left home.
I immediately took a shower and went on my way. I started walking towards the main gate. Several hours passed and here I am still walking. My hunger worse than a car stopped in front of me
"Sir how about we drop you" the staff said
"But your business with me is done right?" I asked
"Stop whining and get your ass in here" Ms. Paterson said as she peeks out the window
I hesitated at first but I tagged along
"Tell me where are you heading kid?" Ms. Paterson asked
"To the mall actually"
"I was planning to buy some groceries because the food in the cafeteria is too expensive" I said
"We are also heading to mall why not tag along with us"
"By the way buy yourself some clothes you look like a slave" Ms. Paterson said
"Thanks for the compliment" I sarcastically said
I then remained silent for the rest of the trip. We finally arrived and we went our separate ways
I entered all the stores looking for decent clothing but they were all too expensive. Then I saw this thrift store so I checked it out
Inside I saw different clothing. I checked it all out and purchased some. Then I saw this bicycle. I went to check it out. Looks like it is still in mint condition so I purchased it as well
I then went to the grocery store and bought everything I needed. Looks to me I have all I need so I decided to head back. Approaching the exit I saw this alarm clock its tone sounded like a ten year old girl whining
I then remembered Blossom waking me up every morning so I approached the seller
"Tell me does it really sound like that?" I asked
"Not only that Sir! You can also record your own voice and use it as a tone" he then demonstrates
"Kindly revert it back and I'll take it" I said as I hand over my credit card
The seller then adjusted it and packs it back
"Thank you Sir" he said
I then exited the mall. I tied up all my groceries at my bicycle and went back to the academy
Along the way I started wobbling maybe because my items are too heavy. Then a car almost ran me over and luckily I tripped on the other side.
The car then stopped and someone came out
"Are you okay Sir?" I butler asked
"I am fine. I just tripped that's all nothing to worry about" I said as I stand up
"Don't just look at him. Help him!" A lady peeking out the window said
The butler hurried and stashed my things inside the trunk and placed the bike in a rack. He tended to the car. He opens the door for me
A helped myself in then I saw Skylia looking at me as I entered. I sat right next to her
"Bring us to the nearest hospital quick" Skylia ordered
"You don't have too. You didn't ran me over I promise"
"I just tripped that's all. My items are way too heavy for my bike" I said
"No I insist" she persisted
"But I am serious. How about this if I felt anything bad I'll go to the hospital but now I must head back to the university" I said
"Pardon me Sir but what did you last said" Skylia asked just to make sure
"I said I am heading back to the university" I repeated
"Okay what university is it and we'll drop you there?" Skylia offered
"Mythingale University" I said
"Ohh? As a servant you should have your own car just like the others"
"Tell me where is your car?" She asked
"Pardon me Miss but I am not a servant"
"I am actually a student there" I said
She then laughs
"Sorry to say that but you look like a servant to me" she teased
"What are you and where are you from? I haven't seen you from my past academy. I am sure you're a transfer student" she said
"I am Ramon Paloma and I came from the rurals"
"Do I seriously look that odd? You can't tell that I am a human" I said
"Oh! You're a human" she seems surprised
"Why? Do I look like a monkey to you?" I asked
"Never mind" she said then giggles
"I am Skylia Reece Bathala by the way nice meeting you Ramon" she then offers her and
I rubbed my hand against my pants then I shook her hand
"Now tell me more. What year are you on" she curiously asked
"I am just a freshmen just like you" I said
"And how did you know that I am a freshman?"
"Are you stalking me?" Her voice raised
"It's not like that your picture and name flashed on the screen during the second part of the program yesterday. If I am not mistaking you rank third" I said
"Oh sorry if I judged you that quit. Being famous isn't that easy, you know. You have these tons of people watching your every move. I felt like a prisoner. I can't have any alone time when I am outside my room" she said in a pail tone
"I thought being famous is fun but hearing her said that feels like a huge burden to carry" a thought in my mind
"You're a freshman right? What floor are you on?" She curiously asked
"Fifth floor" I said
"Hey that's the same floor as I am. How about paying me a visit" she said
"Sorry but I still have errands to do. Maybe some other time" I said as I scratched my head
"Too bad I was thinking you and I can have lunch together at the cafeteria after all I gave you a ride back to the university" she said to ma me guilty
"Lunch would be nice. How about at my place instead so we can have privacy"
"I am sure that your fans will make a commotion if they saw us together" I said
"You're right. Lunch at your room it is" she said
After some time we arrived at the boarding house. I quickly grabbed my stuff and lift it all
"Don't you need help carrying those?"
"My butler can help you" she offered
"No thank you. Back at my town I carried heavier loads than these. So don't worry I got these" I bragged
She opens the elevator for me. I slowly drop my items. Then Skylia's fans started approaching her and entered the elevator
Luckily the floors have these special restrictions. If you aren't bedding on that floor you aren't allowed to enter it's hallways. She then made a run for it and waited for me at the corner. I quickly picked up my stuff and went on my way
"That was pretty annoying. Does that happen to you everyday?" I asked
"Not just a day. As long as they saw me in a public place they started chasing me. I wish I can stopped there nonsense" she seems upset
We arrived at our hallway
"You better get going this is my stop. My room is just over there" she said as she points out her door
"But this is my stop as well"
"My room is 501" I said
She was shocked
"Don't tell me your the rank one" she said in a shaky voice
I escorted her back to her room. I then went on my way. I opened my door then I saw her looking at me. I don't know why but I felt like she was just making sure. She thought I was joking
"I'll pick you up later" I said as I made an eating gesture
She gave a smile then nodded. We both entered our rooms
I immediately stashed my groceries in their rightful places. I then checked the cabinets for cooking materials and I washed them. I then prepared everything and start cooking
After I am done cooking I then prepare the table for two. I took a shower to freshen up. Put on the clothes I bought and sprayed perfume. All seems fine to me so I went outside and knocked on Skylia's door
It took her a while to open it. As soon as she opened the door she pulled me in. I saw her wearing only a bathrobe and it seems she it drying her hair using a towel
"Be a good boy and wait here. I will just get dressed up okay" she said as she enters her room
"No peeking okay" she followed up
I sat on her couch and waited for her to come out but it took a while just to get dressed. I stood up but I remember what she just said so I sat back down. I begun having double thoughts that whether or not to peek
"Oh Emre give me wisdom so I can discern about this matter I am getting frustrated thinking to whether or not peek in her bedroom" I prayed
Then I was enlightened
