Change of Destiny

Chapter Three

"Cia let's skip the class seniors of engineering student will have their softball practice at the field!" Jareca keep on shaking my shoulder. How can I concentrate with this situation? We're having a quiz later in economics course and currently I am in the library hitting the books. And her pestering me!

"I can't I have grades to maintain," I replied sloppy while internalizing the macro and microeconomics market structure.

"Geez just this one please..... promise we will not stay there. I'm pretty sure Landon in his gang are there! I wanna take a glimpse of his handsome face."

"You can bring Ahra..."

"No if I go you should too," Ahra said peeking her eyes against the dictionary. Really? Pretending to study while the book is in reverse position? Try harder please.

They are bad influence very bad influence my subconscious mind warn me. Let's give them a chance please they are my first friends. I can't easily ignore and distance myself to them. We're living in the same room.

I know you're wondering who these girls are, they're my roommate. You thought I am alone in the big room that's what I thought too. But I begin to have question marks in my head a scholar a peasant alone in a fancy room? That's imposible!

I met them on that morning....

What should I do? They're already searching for me and what warn me? Blackmail me? Or they might shut me up forever!Oh Lord no please.

Body stiffened, face almost dule white I look like a lost mushroom in the middle of the hallway. Before I realized and turn my back two guys are already coming to me. s**t! Why my foot won't cooperate!

I chose my fate and this is the end. Closing my eyes I wait for someone to grab my arms and drag me to the abandon building. Minutes past but nothing happen in any of my expectations instead...

"Daniel!"

Opening my eyes it landed to a green hair? Both guys are in front of me looking confused. I definitely look stupid earlier I feel the heat rushing back to my neck up to my face.

"Bastard!" my embarrassment immediately put to end. The three of us look altogether to the girl who shouted. A petite girl coming to us her face is carve of boldness and anger. I slowly take forward steps to excuse myself avoiding trouble and continue to my room. But then another girl peek from my door wait? What are they doing there?

"H-hey Jare–" she stop the moment I am in front of her.

"Excuse me what are you doing in my dorm?"

"Oh, Hi I am Ahra and that girl is Jareca we are your new roommates." she introduced herself awkwardly. I guess she was embarrassed to the actions of her friend who is currently shouting right now to green hair guy.

"I'm Lucia I got her yesterday. You're new students too?"

"No we are not new students, but we are new in the dormitory. Last school year we didn't choose to live in the dorm but now we will."

"I see." I replied while watching her friend sauntering to us with the annoyed expression.

"Don't date him Ahra he got no balls," her words after she reached us.

"You are our roommate?" asked her as she gave her attention to me. I nodded voice nowhere to be found. Afraid to talk to her she might get lash out to me knowing she still annoyed.

"Please get inside."

Oh yeah I immediately move and put my breakfast in my bedside table. This is awkward I got no skill at talking!

"J-Jareca calm down," Ahra from under long blonde bangs, and below that a nose, so freckled that the brown splotches overlapped. Her eyes were warm with a hint of shyness. She's the total opposite of her friend.

That was my first impression, but it turns out that she is no difference to Jareca.

"I'm really sorry I need to study you know I haven't done it last night because you two dragged me for a dinner that ended up to a cotton party."

Yep we party last night ah no they party last night me? I am outside scared and worried that I didn't get to study for the quiz. That's why I'm taking all my free time with books right now.

"Geez... losen up Cia it's just a quiz."

"It's the reason why I am studying here,"

"Jareca stop let her."

At first I thought Ahra would be a shy type girl but after last night she's crazier than Jareca. Both are born with golden spoon in their mouth it's easier to say 'it's just a quiz' because they know that if they fail the course they have money to buy the diploma or the grades.

The problem is not the world it's the people. The upper class family has the money to know anything about insufficiency, poverty and hunger? They know nothing. Because they didn't experience it they did not realize how an education attainment will be useful for building future.

Jareca rolled her eyes then put the earphones on. Again I ignored them and focus to the text of the book.

Later...

"Oh yes! Let's go to the field!"

Disappointed at the same time relieved I kick the only stone, I trampled, it rolls over the surface of green grass 'till it disappeared. The teacher of our econ had home emergency he ended the class five minutes after he entered the room. And right now with Jareca and Ahra we are heading down to the bench near the senior students.

I'm disappointed 'cuz I can't sleep I'm a very sleepy right now we got home at dawn early this morning. Relief 'cuz the quiz got move that means I can relax and study well. But right now I want a duvet around me.

"I heard last night the frat well celebrate their decade anniversary all college students are allowed to come."

Frat? Fraternity? It is still rampant up to these days?

"We'll come."

You should start avoiding them Lucia they not good for you. I heard the voice of my grandpa at the back of my head. We knew each other for one weeks now they are loud, wild brats all over bad influence, but they're not bad at all these girls made me discern and explore my ignorance and innocence. Warn me about the routine of the school, save me from my stupidity and help me to cope up the new environment they make me feel comfortable though there are times that I can't tame their craziness and that's okay that's them, that's how they made.

Just likes now. Jareca walks past in front of the guys more than once now. Pretending to bring water and towels for the guys. If you're wondering both girls are hot Jareca can be described as a matured woman while Ahra is the innocent one the angel in disguise but wild at night.

"That's very lame. Jareca is getting rusty in the art of seduction," Ahra exclaimed while sipping the cola.

"Did you see that guy left second to the last?" I nodded.

"He's a virgin," she talk like she's absolute about it.

"How do you know?"

"His facial expression says it."

I looked the guy there's nothing wrong with his expression he seems uninterested to Jareca.

"Eyes can't settle at one place, he's disgusted, and afraid."

"Maybe he's committed?"

"Not, hands fidgeting also foot can't stay put. I have my new target." she look at me then smiles sweetly.

Wow.

"Cia you are very dense, you are easily to read, if I am the guy I would probably flirt and get you to bed. So transparent I could already see the ignorance and innocence in your eyes."

"That's disgusting,"

"Getting you bed?"

"Us in bed no way."

"Gosh! See? I really need to teach you more if you want to survive in this school."

I don't understand her. I am very capable in surviving college.

She continue providing me information about boys and flirting. It's boring but I'm curious how does it feels to have someone with you? Not the care from your family but the kind of care from your other half. Let me listen this is for future purposes.

I was focus on each words her mouth could have uttered. Oblivious in my surrounding, I got distracted when Jareca came to us.

"They're coming!" she announced in strong sudden emotion.

My eyes immediately landed on the group of boys currently walking towards us? No, the bench beside us all of them are wearing their jersey, panting and sweaty.

There's this one guy I have been staring since we came here earlier. I have crushes back in Alba but this certain guy is out of my type but I can't take my eyes off him. I tried to angle my head in many ways but no chances of seeing his face. Why can't he take off the cap just like his other dude.

"Oh I see you got yours? Who?"

"The one with cap,"

"Uh…."

I look at the two of them when I didn't receive a response.

"What?"

"Not that guy Cia."
