Dream

running// running/

As we were playing IT in the playground, a girl suddenly approached us silently and slowly.

We halted and fixed our attention on her, believing she had an important thing to say.

But she weirdly just kind of stands there.

My cousin and I decided to play see-saw away from her since we were becoming uncomfortable.

And then all of a sudden... I felt a hand touch me, and she said, "Your IT," smiling.

As a kid, I quickly fled from her since she was a girl and touched me made me so angry. 

While i was running away i slipped and dirtied my favorite spiderman tshirt.

My cousin louis, was making fun of me for being touched by that strange girl, and obviously for slipping.

As we were getting our bikes, we noticed the strange girl in the motor vehicle's backseat staring at us.

She smiled and he pulled her tongue,

making fun of us.

Ringg!! Ringg//

Caissa was startled awake by the loud alarm.

When Caissa realized it was all a dream, he questioned himself.

"Why am I dreaming about that crazy girl"

I remember it happened when I was a kid and my mom left me with my aunt to go on vacation in Bulacan. One day, Louis and I chose to play in the playground. 

I'm smiling, thinking back on the fun and carefree days.

Without warning, the door opens...

My dad came into my room and I could see he was upset.

"Why did you not enroll yesterday, Caissa? Did I not tell you to go to your university and do

so?"

Recalling what happened, Caissa tries to explain, but her father cuts him off.

"You don't need to justify yourself. Did I not tell you to be responsible? Do I have to handle everything here? He hands Caissa a few paperwork. This is your enrollment paperwork. You should get up as it is already 11 a.m. His dad uttered."

With a pout, Caissa answered, "Yes, dad."

Following his father's departure, he straightened himself...

I need to gather myself.

Caissa got out of bed, brushes his teeth, and started eating.

After a while, he calls hes friend to go out to the mall and get together.

Opening her phone he dialed her friend azia...

"Hello, what's up, azia?

"Hi, what do you want?" Azia said.

"Uhhm, I need your help. I have to go to the mall and get supplies for my school.

"Okay fine, I also need to get school supplies. Let's meet there in an hour."

"Have you enrolled in school yet? Whoa, I never thought that a careless guy like you would do that."

"Actually, it was my dad that enrolled me"

"I thought so..." Azia said, seeming disappointed.

"Okay, bye see you later"

"Goodbye"

Hungs up//

"I have a busy day ahead of me."

Hushh// 

Following their purchase of the school supplies they would need, Caissa and Azia bid each other farewell and headed home.

1 month later...

Ringg// Ringgggg!!

Caissa woke up.

As it was his first day at the University. He prepared for today and completed any necessary packing before departing.

When he first arrived at the school, he asked someone where his room, H122, was, and they pointed him in the direction of the documents.

After inquiring, he thanked the man and made his way to his room.

The room was eerily silent, as if none of the people there knew one another. Less than ten students were present when I arrived, so I think I'm early. I went to choose a seat at the back.

I made the decision to go to bed as the start is in 20 minutes.

A girl bumped into my desk while I was sleeping, waking me up. Upon seeing the girl, I assumed she was intelligent because she wore glasses, an assumption I now laugh at.

"Oh sorry; I didn't mean to awaken you. With embarrassment, she spoke."

I said, "No problem, it was just an accident."

She then nods, and I see that she gives me an instantaneous glance after seeing me.

She chooses the seat next to me as it was the only one that wasn't occupied right away, which is presumably how she managed to knock my desk in front of me.

Five minutes later the professor walked into the room. "Alright, students. My name is Professor Derik, and I will serve as your adviser this academic year. However, before we begin, I'd like you to take a moment to introduce yourself so that we may get to know one another."

Everyone said nods.

After a while, I realized that some of my classmates were interesting.

For example, there's this quiet, gorgeous girl who looks to be rather dependable because she was valedictorian of her previous school and enjoys reading and drawing. She goes by Heesung, has black hair, gray eyes, and wears glasses.

There is also this brook guy, who is tall (5'11), moreno, and has a deep voice. He has a small Scorpion tattooed on the right side of his neck. When I first saw him, I thought he was a troublemaking kid who liked to skip school. He also mentioned that he liked playing video games and sports. That's the only thing that intrigued me about him.

Kia is another girl but with a yellow hair and blue eyes; she's cheerful and funny. She's also pretty typical of a girl who gets all the attention and is very popular. Normally, I don't care about that kind of girl, but she's interesting because she plays chess, and her voice is charming and mesmerizing. Although she seems dumb, she's actually pretty smart because of the way she talks to people; she has this special ability to manipulate people and easily influence others. I want to be friends with her.

And lastly, Ruby, my seatmate. She has long brown hair, pretty eyes, a cute voice, and wears glasses. Other than the fact that she is my seatmate and the first person I spoke to, nothing about her is interesting. She is also quiet and seems shy, not wanting to interact with other people.

After ruby introduces herself, i went next...

"Uhh... I'm caissa...

Uhh... i liked to read and draw.

Uhh... I love playing games and boardgames.

Uhh... i looked forward to studying with you."

My classmate claps awkwardly//

"I blew up, well not that i give a care anyways."

Following that, the professor gives us a task to complete in groups so that we may get to know one another. Everybody forms groups, and the final group is determined as "Group 7 is Heesung, Kia, Ruby, Brook, and Lastly Caissa."

What a coincidence, it looks like this academic year will be intriguing.

We assembled in the corner and gave introductions...
