Once night arrived, almost everyone at Jin Long Academy heard about the peerless beauty at their school. The pictures and videos uploaded online also made everyone get into a frenzy. Some students purposely tried to find the mysterious beauty that showed up. However, it seemed as though she had disappeared into thin air.
The perpetrator actually didn't know this had all happened until she met her roommates. As today was her first day here she had the day free as the school wanted the new students to be comfortable with their new school first. The room was about the size of a small commoner's house, and there were two rooms, two beds in each rooms. Out in the open was a kitchen and a two smaller rooms for the bathroom.
The whole day, she lay in bed sleeping from fatigue. Only until it was at night, that she woke up from noises. When she first woke up, she tried to ignore the noises. However when she opened her eyes for a peep, she saw three hovering girls close to her face staring at her as if she was their source of interest.
"She's awake!"
The girl with pink highlights slapped the girl with purple highlights lightly on her shoulders, "I told you we shouldn't have made too much noise! We woke her up!"
The tall girl with glasses immediately shut them up and spoke gently to Mei Ling. "Hey! You're that beauty everyone on campus has been talking about, right?"
Although Mei Ling could guess that they were her roommates, she found it odd to be crowded around while she was still lying on bed with eyes that couldn't widen completely.
Creasing her eyebrows, she said sleepily "What do you mean?"
Being awoken from her sleep just recently, her voice was not as clear but sounded more alluring and seductive instead. Just her voice made her roommates stare at her for a second.
"What a nice voice! I'm so jealous! Everything about you seems perfect!"
"Would you mind if I freshened up first?"
The two girls nodded, and the tall girl grunted in agreement.
Once she splashed herself with water and massaged her forehead, she came out of the bathroom. The scene left the three girls staring at her with glittering eyes. When Mei Ling was still on the bed. she had just woken up and had messy hair covering half of her face. Once she fixed herself up, her appearance was totally exposed and the water droplets on her long eyelashes helped boost her image. To the girls, it seemed as if they had met a goddess with flawless skin, and the perfect curves!
"Waaaa! I'm so jealous!!"
"I'm Mei Ling, you all must be my roommates," she smiled.
"I'm Hu Hei!", said the girl with pink highlights.
"I am Hu Hei's older sister, Hu Hua," afterwards replied the girl with purple highlights.
The tall girl pushed up her glasses. "Yu Ming, nice to meet you."
Not used to this situation, Mei Ling didn't know what else to say so she waited for one of them to start a topic. Unexpectedly, the first topic was about her!
Hu Hei playfully combed Mei Ling's hair, "Mei Ling, I've seen the pictures and videos on the school forum and I know you're the mysterious beauty! You don't have to pretend around me, don't worry!"
Confused, Mei Ling wrinkled her brows and asked, "What do you mean?"
Yu Ming was shocked. "You don't know?"
"Know what?"
Almost simultaneously, Yu Ming and Hu Hua took out their phones and showed her pictures of herself. "Do you see this? This is you! The scene you caused today is known by almost everyone on campus now! Many of the people who took videos posted it online on the school forum, that's where the gossip spreads."
"I really didn't know. I was asleep ever since I got my identity card," she explained.
"Wow! I feel like you're so professional! Just like those main leads in those manga where you don't even know you caused a large ruckus!" Hu Hei screamed excitedly.
Mei Ling had to cover her ears. This Hu Hei seemed to always be excited and have a lot to say. However, this would work in her favor. In the future, whenever she needed to know information around the school Hu Hei would probably be able to tell her. So far, she was pretty comfortable with this arrangement and didn't see anything that needed criticism. Mei Ling's mood from being woken up improved greatly.
That long night, the four girls chatted about the latest gossip around the academy and shared their schedules to see if they had any of the same classes together. They actually had quite a few classes that they shared.
Only after a few hours did they go to sleep without eating dinner, and they woke up the next morning with big bags under their eyes. Of course, with the exception of Mei Ling, as she took a long nap just before she had met her roommates.
Each type of department had their own building number. This meant that each department was separated into those tall towers Mei Ling had previously seen when she arrived at the academy. If one department type meant one large building, then this explained why there were so many buildings on campus ground. There was also a large spacing between each building so the campus was humongous.
Mei Ling was walking with Hu Hei to the building near the right side of the campus called the First Building. Mei Ling and Hu Hei shared the same first class for today's schedule and this relieved Mei Ling from the pain of getting lost.
Being in a daze, Mei Ling suddenly felt a pain on her head as if she walked into a huge, hard wall.
"Ouch!", she muttered softly.
Looking up, she saw the back view of a boy who slowly turned around with an arrogant smirk.
