Xena is having a hard time deciding whether to enter the Hendrix University or not.
Since she graduated with the highest honor from her previous school Hendrix University offered her a scholarship. It was indeed a big catch for her since not everyone was given the chance.
All she wanted to do is to pursue studying fine arts. And being able to graduate from the Asia's most popular university surely it will give her a lot of opportunity.
She could be jumping out of joy for this rare opportunity however from what she heard from her friends and classmates, Hendrix University is the lair of the country's rich spoiled brats. Since most of the students there came from a wealthy families, politician and those who belonged to the upper class. And she? She doesn't even belong to any of that. She was just a struggling seventeen year old girl with no one to depend on.
She is not dumb thus she know the difference of being born in hardship and being born with silver spoon.
She could have declined the scholarship but she can't. She promised her Mom on her last breath that she would make sure she will have a good future and Hendrix University could give her that.
Swalloing the lump on her throat she walk directly toward the gate. She was immediately blocked by two guards.
They eyed her from head to toe and said "You're probably lost Miss, this is not the place you should be visiting." the almost bald man said.
She immediately shook her head "E-err isn't it the Hendrix Academy? I got an invitation and I am here to register." she said shyly.
The two man look at her in disbelief. She knows that she's out of place. Her loose white shirt, faded jeans and almost worn out sneaker doesn't seem to suit in this school.
"Here you can check my ID or you can call the registrar." she can see their jaw drop. The guard immediately snatch the ID from her hands then dialed something on his phone. After five minutes without firther ado they allowed her to get in and handed her a map and left her afterwards.
She stared at the map on her hands. 'Such a big school' she thought.
She started to walk on the long pathway. Amusement is visible on her eyes as she passed through beutiful buildings and structures. This place is as beautiful as she thought.
Since it was weekend there's only few people on the school ground. After thirty minutes of walking she finally arrived at beautiful white building with the word registar written on it. She knock on the door and slowly open it.
The cold air from the air conditioner greeted her. She slowly walk towards the glass window of the registar. A petite women in her mid forties greeted her. Although she had a smile on her face she can feel her scrutinizing stare. She suddenly felt uncomfortable.
When the woman sensed her uneasiness she abruptly ask "How can I help you Miss?"
She handed her application form to her "I came here to enroll myself."
"Oh I see. Let me check for your name, one moment." she type in on the keyboard and from the corner she can hear the sound of a printer.
"First year Fine Arts, right?" she ask while still typing
"Yes."
"You don't need to pay anything. Your tuition fee as well as the miscellaneous fees and books were all covered including a set of free uniforms." she took the paper from the printer and handed it to her.
"That would be your schedule. You can start attending your class on Monday. Please claim your things the first room on the left side of the building" she nod and went out of the room. Finally she's done. She just hope that she made the right choice going to Hendrix University.
