Kara quickly got into the van. She quickly looked at the car window and looked at the two male students who were still talking to each other.
He saw a tall, big man. He looks so huge and burly and he looks like a typical bully.
There's another man who's tall and lanky. The man obviously doesn't have a good taste in fashion, and it's clear as a day that he's a total nerd.
"Nerd alert." she whispered.
“Huh? Are you saying something, Kara? ” Jessica suddenly asked.
“Nothing... By the way, just wake me up once we arrive at the studio." Kara requested, while yawning...
=============================
"Hey, have you heard the news?"
Kenzo wasn't able to focus on studying when he heard Victoria's loud voice.
He lets out a sigh, while hiding his annoyance. deeply as she hid her annoyance... Their voices are so loud while chatting inside the library. They don't seem to care about the other students who are also studying at the library.
“Kara Alvarez took a special Entrance exam here at our University!” Victoria excitedly announced.
Kenzo curiously frowned. Who the heck is Kara Alvarez and why does Victoria look excited?
"Wait, how did you know?" asked one of Victoria's friends.
"Well, the professors were just talking about it! According to them, Kara Alvarez passed the exam, and they're getting ready to accept her at our University!"
"Oh, wow... That's interesting. A celebrity studying at Waldorf University!" Patty, one of Victoria's friends, gushed as well.
"They said that Kara's going to have her own reality show about College life." Victoria continued with her story.
"Wow, that's awesome!" the other girl stated.
“I know, right? I’m so excited to be her bestfriend! Actually, I’ve been stalking her f*******:, i********: and Twitter accounts because I like her fashion sense! And I can’t wait to talk to her about cosmetics and the latest fashion trend! ” Victoria's excited statement.
Kenzo shook his head after listening to them. All they think about is beauty and fame... They don't think about their own future, eventhough their about to graduate from the University...
============================
Two weeks later...
At the Star Power Talent Agency Office.
The video camera is currently focused on Kara as she was holding a large brown envelope. It was from Waldorf University, and it bears the result of her Entrance Exam.
"You may open the envelope now, Kara." the show's Producer encouraged Kara.
“Okay. Here it goes..." Kara announced, while opening the envelope.
Kara held her breath as she starts reading the letter.
“So, what’s the result, Kara? Did you pass the exam or not? ” Boss Ariel asked, in an impatient tone.
"As I expected-- I passed!" Kara smiling announced. She proudly showed the letter towards the camera. It is clearly stated there that she passed the University Entrance exam.
“That is indeed good news! Now you can choose the course you want to study in the next six months. Have you made a choice already? ” the Producer asked her again.
"Actually, before becoming an actress, I was to take a Business Administration course. I plan to set up my own business in the future once I retire from showbiz. ” Kara remembered her dream.
“I think that’s a good idea. We’ll coordinate with the Dean of the Business Administration Department so that you can attend classes as soon as possible and ask for their permission to shoot there as well. ” the Producer agreed.
"Sounds good." Kara responded...
==============================
After a few days...
Kenzo curiously frowned when he saw numerous cameras in their classroom. He looked again at the room number he had entered, thinking that he entered a wrong room. But he's in the right place.
He also saw the familiar faces of his classmates who takes the same Economics class. But why do they look excited?
"Good morning everyone!"
Kenzo’s heart skipped a beat when she saw a woman who's walking behind their Economics Professor.
The woman is really pretty. Unlike Victoria, her face looks more natural, and she has this natural Filipina beauty. She has sleek and long black hair, she has a pair of bright eyes and a button-like nose. Her tanned skin made her glow beautifully...
“Good morning, everyone. You have a new classmate..."
Maybe you already know her, but she wants to introduce herself to everyone. Can you introduce yourself, Miss Alvarez?" the male Professor encouraged Kara to speak.
Kara flashed her signature million-dollar smile towards her classmates.
“Hello, everyone! My name is Kara Alvarez. I'll be studying with you guys for six months, and I'm really thrilled to meet all of you!" Kara smilingly introduced herself.
Everyone in the classroom gave her a warm round of applause. As soon as Kara finished her introduction, Victoria suddenly raised her right hand.
“Yes, Victoria? Are you going to say something? ” asked their Professor.
Victoria quickly stood up and turned her attention to Kara.
“I just want to say that I’m your biggest fan and I just love everything about you!” she chirped, as she looks obviously excited.
Meanwhile, Kara tried her best to keep on smiling after she heard the woman. Victoria sounded like a stalker, and it really creeps her out.
"Uh, thanks." she forced herself to be polite and civil.
"Well, you can take a seat now, Kara. We'll now start with the class." the old Professor instructed Kara
Kara looked around to find a vacant seat. She instantly noticed a male student who doesn't seem to care about anything that is happening around him.
He's just quietly sitting at the corner, while reading a very thick book. She also noticed a vacant seat just beside him, so she decided to take that seat...
At the same time.
Kenzo looked up from his book when he felt someone's presence from the seat beside him. He's shocked to see Kara Alvarez, sitting at the nearby chair. He couldn't stop himself from staring at her beautiful face...
"Looks like Mr. Andrada's starstruck with Miss Alvarez' presence..." their Professor suddenly announced, in an amused tone.
Everyone in the class laughed at the old Professor's remark.
Kenzo wanted to hide under a rock and hide there for eternity due to embarassment. He's not used to being the center of attention, as he was always the wallflower at their University.
He immediately averted his gaze from Kara. He pretended to be busy reading his book, but deep inside, his heart was is beating fast as if he's in a running marathon...
And for the first time, he can't seem to fully concentrate on his class...
“Damn. What’s going on with me? ” Kenzo asked himself, while feeling confused.
