A man in his thirties wearing a black formal dress was sent by the UNIVERSITY OF LUJO to take us safely to our dorm.
He came to us after seeing us look like lost puppies in front of an airport. He then identified us to be the new students.
"Let's leave . Please give me your luggage " he offered after some introduction.
"Thank you, sir" said Beth while handing him her baggage.
"You can call me Alexander ma'am" he said and then dumped our luggage in the boot of the car. I offered to help him but he just rejected our help and took help from the driver.
He then opened the door for us to enter while we were just standing there not sure of what to do whether to help him or start a conversation or keep shut.
Well we decided to do the latter one and so we stood there in silence.
"Let's take a selfie " I heard a voice behind me say and pull me all of a sudden.
As I was caught all of a sudden, Being my clumsy self I landed on the floor on my butt.
"Ouch, that hurt "I said as I sat on the floor while Alexander rushed to lend me a helping hand while Beth was gonna die either by laughing or by my own hands.
"You look funny down there" Beth stated while doing her best to control her smile.
"Thank you .....Miss.Useless " I said with a smirk while standing up with the help of Alexander and dusting my back.
"Thank you, sir" I said and offered him a smile.
We took a selfie and by a selfie I mean like fifty ones, Beth can never be satisfied with a single picture.
"Let's hurry ma'am we have a long way to go" He said and took the place near the driver seat.
"Ok sir" I replied and nodded my head.
Beth and myself sat in the car immediately and then the journey to lujo started.
"Would you like to hear some music, ma'am?" The driver asked.
"Yea totally"
"Which genre mademoiselle ?"
"I prefer pop or melody" I told him while taking out my water bottle from my backpack.
"I prefer....ummm....nothing any good song will do," Beth said and then rested her head on the car seat.
All of me by John legend was played and damn it I loved that song the tune, the lyrics, the voice on a whole the song itself was a legendary work.
"This seems like a good start Beth" I said and then looked outside. She looked at me and nodded.
There was comfortable silence inside the car
"You two have already known each other, eh? "Alexander asked while keeping his eyes on the road.
"Known each other?! OMG are you kidding me I know her more than she knows herself " Beth said and gave a funny look
For those who don't know this is her signature dialogue.
"Fun fact, I said and then explained to Alexander where we were from and other stuff.
"You two .....enjoy yourself alright" Alexander said In a soft tone and then continued "Make plenty of memories children ".
"You see this is what we prefer ..no ma'am and all that formal stuff , alright? " I said and then smiled at Mr.Alex.
"She's right" Beth said and smiled at him too.
Alex returned the smile to both of us.
"We will be reaching the university pretty soon" Alexander said after some time.
"As it is already late you two will be escorted by me to your dorm room and then all the other information will be given to you two tomorrow as soon as the sun shines "
"Alright, are there other students in their dorm rooms too or else are we the only weirdos who have come early?" Beth asked.
"No child there are few students who have already come to the university....others will be soon coming as there is a week time for your university to start," Alex said while his phone buzzed.
He answered the call and said " Alex here"
" Yes, Miss. Jess the students are with me " he replied after a pause.
After some ummm's he hung up the phone.
"Who is jess?" Beth asked out of curiosity.
"Err....she is your Cunarius" he said
"What the hell does a Cuna-a-a-cu-us mean" I asked confused
"Oh a Cunarius is a one who is supposed to take care of you two" he said
"Wait what?"
"We have someone to take care of us?? We are 18 !!" Beth said looking slightly annoyed and confused.
" Each dorm room has a cunarius and the students staying there are taken care by them.....and you two being lucky to have got jess she is a super sweet mademoiselle" Alexander said with a grin.
"What is she supposed to do?" Beth asked with still confusion lingering in her mind.
"You will find that out soon, but do not worry she does not stay in the same room as you two and she doesn't poke her nose in your matters ...she is supposed to see whether you two are well-fed, serene and healthy....she won't be around much...y'all can contact her when y'all need anything ....and also because....." and before he could complete his sentence he was interrupted by the driver who said
"We have arrived "
Lying in front of us was an enormous golden gate beautifully designed....it had a slight vintage touch, it looked very royal and astonishing.
My eyes fell out. I was gawking at the gate.The freaking gate looked so damn beautiful. It screamed royalty and luxury and it's just a gate.
"The gate itself is magnificent I can't wait to see the university " squeaked Beth.
"Me too! I'm so pumped!!" I said and we both looked at each other and grinned like idiots.
The magnificent gate was opened after Mr Alexander spoke to someone over his phone.
Beth and I were feeling overwhelmed and not at all tired after our long journey just after seeing the golden gate.
We were soon escorted to our rooms by Alexander who also helped us to carry our luggage along with our driver.
Even though both of us pulled two trolley bags, Others still had to help us ...you see when you know you are gonna spend your next four years in a place the baggage is a lot ....a lot.
Soon a lady in her thirties came running towards and still managed to look elegant.
She was wearing a pencil skirt and a button-up top with pumps.
If I were her I would land on the ground as soon as I wear my pumps with no need to run.
"Hello darlings I am Jessica " she introduced herself and hugged us one by one.
"Hello, Jess" we said and then introduced ourselves.
"Jess...Ummm.....Alex?! " she looked at him and narrowed her eyes.
"What ?! Don't give me that look, lady" he said and then smirked.
"What would you prefer....ummm...I mean how should we call you?" I asked as I feared that we had just crossed the line.
"Darling come on I just 31 and I am young and bold, call me Jess," she said and pouted.
"I feel some spark tinkering between these both " Beth said with a chuckle.
"Shut up they might hear you.....and please keep calm Cupid" I said and shushed her.
"Come on darlings I will take y'all to your room and Alex you can leave, she said with a pout.
She has this positive strong aura around her, She's elegant but she can also punch you in the face.
"Alright then, bye ladies" Alex said with a bow.
"Correction Alex ...girls" Jess said and flipped her hair with elegance.
Is she some freaking model? She is so freaking perfect.
"See now I find something between these two " I whispered with a smirk.
Beth let out a small chuckle.
Because it was dark we weren't able to see everything just silhouettes of some huge buildings and after a long time we reached our dorm and yes Alex did not leave he was carrying our baggage.
We stood in front of a room with J-22 engraved in a silver plate.
Jess opened the room and then Alex placed our luggage inside and murmured something in Jess's ears before leaving which made her roll her eyes and then said to us " Good night".
"I shall also leave," said Jess and then informed us that the next day she would take us on a tour around the university campus.
I and Beth were left alone in our room and did I mention how it looked...One word to explain how it looked "Luxurious "
