As Time Goes By

The rustling sound of swaying leaves, the autumn breeze brushing the faces of the student, the long hair of most girl who did not tie their hair swaying restless. The gingko tree at the side of quadrangle, surrounding the whole square letting the student be under its shadow. Standing at the core is a very beautiful fountain. The fountain who have a lot of koi in there, the student can freely feed them. Every corner of this very big quadrangle, the student in-charge for the new student is bustling around, asking if you want their help, do you know where your dorm is,etc etc. "Are you a new student?..... Do you know the way?......Then let me be your guide......" "Ah! I'm not a senior....." "Are you looking for your dorm?..." " May I ask where is the teacher faculty?..." "We're still in the same class! HAHAHA....." Amidst of this streaming students there is one person who is standing out not because he is tall it's because of his appearance. Standing there, looking around, he looks like a child who is missing. With his look of naivety, someone approach him and ask if he needs help but he said that he is waiting for his gege to finish his phone call and he smile. His golden short curly hair swaying, his ocean blue eyes looks watery. His blood vessels, you can see it at a glance because of how pale he is, you may think that he is not breathing because of this. Wearing a navy blue sweater with colar inside holding his back pack in one hand the other hand holding his milktea. This appearance of him looks like a boyfriend waiting for his girlfriend who run out. One of the male student who is also a member of basketball team approach him. "Hi, I'm the vice captain of our basketball team, Hong Shoi-Ming and you are?" "Ah! I'm Adalfieri Ricci" He answered right away when he heard the other party asking his name he also forgot that the name he gave is not his chinese name. "Ah.... do you not have a Chinese name?" Hong Shoi-Ming asked awkwardly. He didn't get what he said his name its to complicated to say. "Oh! I'm sorry. My chinese name is Zi Guozhi." "Zi Guozhi, nice to meet you." The two of them shake their hands and Shoi-Ming led him to the basketball team booth and let him sat down. "We're recruiting a new members of our basketball team, because the year three of high school is graduating already so they can't be idle and can't participate in a game anymore. Anyway I already said a while ago that I'm the vice captain, that person is the captain we're in the same class in middle school until now in year one high school......" He explained everything when he point at the direction of their captain Zi Guozhi also look but he didn't get to see the face of that man. "Ah....Im not sure if I can join you guys. I'm not really playing basketball." He said a bit hesitating. "Then what are playing? Valleyball? Badminton?" "I play Fencing and Polo." He answered honestly this time. When Shoi-Ming heard what he said he become silent for a moment he think, Is he a son of a duke? A son of a noble family in Europe? He didn't know the answer of his question. Not ordinary people can play fencing because the attire of this sport is expensive what more a polo! Polo is one of the sport that Prince Harry love to play, just how much is one horse? And if you didn't know how to ride a horse you'll likely get injury. This new student in front of him, he is sure that this student came from a noble family overseas. Just he is thinking of those things the younger brother in front of him called out to a person. "Gege!" Older brother? They look a like but the eye color are different, the eye color of that man is green, the color of plants, the color of mother earth. "Ah..Gege look this brother here wants to recruit me for the basketball team but I said I dunno how to play. What a pity." He said while showing the application form. Shoi-Ming who is at the side said." You can still join us if you really want. We can teach you how to play and while you are still not playing you can.....you can ran errands." He forcefully finish his sentence because he can feel the cold gaze of the man in front who this younger brother called gege. "Really! I want.... I want to join." Zi Guozhi said excitedly while looking around for a pen when he can't find a pen his gege give him his own pen."Gege, if I really learn how to play ball I'll show off to Luca." "Mn. While you're learning how to play ball your fencing and polo cannot left behind remember you need to win to the upcoming battle of you and the second son of Monti Family." His gege said reminding him. "Hmp, I'll make sure that i will win. He just doesn't want to accept that he really can't win from me. Done! Here I finish all the blanks." Shoi-Ming who is listening to some gossip seriously got startled because of him. He accept the application form and place it at the top and said a few words to Zi Guozhi saying that he will personally inform him if the club start operating this week Zi Guozhi said ok and also bid his goodbye for today. Hong Shoi-Ming who experience how to communicate to mixed-child and being shock just by thinking of the family background of those two sibling will make him in daze. The September, start of a new semester and having those transfer student is really tiring this is just the first day of welcoming all of the new students but all the old students is tired and sweating. The campus forum got lively as soon as someone posted a picture. Different picture, some pictures of receiving new students, the other is the picture of the basketball team captain, especially the picture of Zi Guozhi is also popular. The student who got a chance to see the face of Zi Guozhi is clamoring and showing-off to the ones who didn't get the chance. [HAHAHAHA I'm so proud of my self that i got a glance from him a while ago.] [Heyyy I'm the one who ask him a while ago and his smile is so so beautiful!!!] Some are regretting while the other is asking in which class did he get in. The leaves of gingko tree that fall from it, it sway dancing along with the cool wind up and higher until ordinary people can't reach out to him anymore. The new semester of Year 1 High School can start now. Small Theater: ML: So you play Fencing? MC: Yes, Why? ML: Can you stab my heart so that I can offer it to you? MC:.......... A/N: I'm not Chinese local so if i have some mistake about the season,tradition etc etc you guys can correct me thank you.
