"hey, can i sit here?"

the girl nodded as you took the spot next to her.

"thanks," you said as you got ready for your first class of university.

you've never seen the girl beside you before, but due to the fact that there were no other free seats in the class, you had no choice but to bE sOcIaL.

whatever. i'm bound to meet new people anyways.

the girl next to you had long dark hair that was curled and neatly flowing down below her shoulders, and she had clear blue eyes with long eyelashes marked with the touch of mascara.

she gave you a small smile before introducing herself. "hi, it's nice to meet you! i'm nari. jeong nari."

at soon as her voice hit you, you were taken aback by how... light it sounded.

it's hard to describe what it was, but something about her took you aback.

it almost radiated 'pick me' energy.

you didn't know how you were able to tell from her two sentences, but the vibe given off of her was a little odd almost.

just a little.

however, you removed your thoughts—you knew better than to judge someone else for their appearance or vibe—and instead, you gave a small smile back.

"hey. i'm y/n."

"are you excited for this new year?" nari asked you.

"as ready as i'll ever be, i suppose," you grinned.

something about university just brought you so much euphoria.

you knew that it was another experience that you would never forget...and it was a whole new story of your life.

as you looked around in the lecture hall, you realized how different it was compared to high school. the room was much larger, with seats layered over stairs, so that the rear seats sat higher than the ones in the front, with all seats were facing towards the professor's board.

you sat next to nari—as well as another stranger—and you were near the middle of the lecture hall.

"i heard that the professor is suuuper strict," nari told you.

"oh is he?"

"yeah. apparently he only allows for a student to be late a maximum of three times for the whole year—any more and you'll get an automatic fail."

"actually?" your eyes widened.

i'm fucked, aren't i?

although you were a bright student, you were still infamous for being late for nearly every single trip you had to take during high school.

but, your thoughts were interrupted as the professor walked into the large lecture hall to begin the first day.

quickly putting your phone away—and on 'do not disturb'—, you mentally prepared yourself for the year to come. 

✰

the first day of classes went smoother than you would have thought.

to be completely honest, you weren't even exactly sure what you were expecting.

and surprisingly, the first day of classes ended with no assignments—it was a day of introductory and going over the entire semester's outline.
