On a certain Monday in the year 2020, on the outskirts of Star City, a black Nissan was speeding along the highway connecting Star City with the many surrounding cities. At this very time inside the ordinary-looking vehicle, a middle-aged man could be seen in the driver's seat wearing a serious expression on his face.
On the other side, a middle-aged woman who had an enchanting demeanor sat peacefully while holding a phone in her hand. In the back seat of the car, a young youth who appeared to be eighteen years old (approximately).
His pale-like skin was extremely soft, he had long hair which fell on his back. His eyebrows were as sharp as a chisel. He was a rare handsome young man. His name was Stephan.
Having completed his intermediate studies in one of the schools in Tehran town, Stephan managed to get a first-class distinction which guaranteed him a spot at City University.
Despite having done well in his examinations, Stephan had to defer his joining the university the previous year due to financial problems as his father had retired from his job a week before his intermediate exam results were released.
"Son, Star City is not a place like Tehran town. It is one of the world-class cities which contains people from different parts of the world. You know that now you have become a big boy, your father and I will not be able to stay by your side anymore. You have to be on your own and experience this vast city as it shapes you." Stephans's mother said to him with a smile on her face.
"Don't worry Mum, I'm now a big boy I have some level of confidence in myself". Stephan said confidently.
Creek! Creek!
While Stephan and his mother were busy talking to each other sharp breaks from the vehicle were heard as the vehicle came to an abrupt stop. At this moment a large gate appeared in front of them and on the gate large characters were neatly written on it STAR CITY UNIVERSITY.
The climate of Star City was very cold and the air was dense to a degree that one could feel his breath getting heavy on the first time step in star city. Looking at this big city lot of thoughts and feelings hung on Stephans's face. He could see many people moving up and down and also some were moving in and out from inside and outside the university.
Soon one of the security guards came to where Stephan and his family were and asked their reason for coming to the university. After confirming that they were there for the 2020 university intake, they were allowed to step into the university.
After entering the university, they directly headed to the admission block for the process of admission to be done to allow Stephan to legally enter the school.
The process took some time due to there being a large number of students who had also come for admission into the university. In the blink of an eye, it was already evening and Stephan's parents had to return to Tehran as they had nowhere to stay here in Star City.
After the admission came to an end on this particular day, Stephan was allocated to one of the school hostels which was known as the east wing - a boys' hostel. On reaching the hostels, Stephan was in the kind of a new student mentality. he happened to be allocated inside a room where he met a young-looking boy who looked a little above eighteen years of age who was his roommate for the time being if not the whole of his university life. The young man was named Paul who was a one point-two student as they called themselves in Star City University.
"So you are called Stephan, it's nice to meet you we can make good friends. What do you think?" Paul said to Stephan with a genuine smile hanging on his handsome face.
"Well since fate has brought us under the same roof, then I cannot refuse a direct call of nature. We can surely make a perfect friend. "Stephan, though you look young the words you just uttered are so profound. So tell me, what are you undertaking?"
"It's not that much of a serious course, I have been reassigned to undertake a bachelor in medicine. Tell me bro how difficult is it?"
"Don't worry bro it's no big deal as I'm also in the same field as you. I will see you through but as of now let me take you around the school so that you can have an understanding of this institution."
"That's so thought full of you Paul." Stephan readily agreed with Paul's idea without thinking twice as an eager expression hung on his face. Having been admitted into the university, Stephan had seen many people doing different kinds of kinds of stuff on his way to the hostels. The only thought in his mind was to go around the campus and see for himself all the rumors he had about campus life, thinking up to this point, Paul and Stephan walked out of the room and stepped outside to see this new world.
Star City University was known as the largest university around the mid territory. It had approximately of hundred thousand students which one could imagine how vast the university can be. Walking out of the hostel, Stephan and Paul headed to the university cafeteria.
On reaching the university cafeteria, the place was bustling with lots of students who were there to take their meals as it was time for the evening meal. Paul began explaining...
The university cafeteria is divided into three sub-sections; one section is the open zone where those who come from poor families can have their meals as food in these zones is sold at very low prices as well as of poor quality. The second section is the double zone, this zone is called so as many of the students go to this section in pairs of a male and female. In short, it is a place where only those who a relatively financially stable can afford to go.
The last zone is the palace zone. This is the section where only those who come from extremely wealthy backgrounds can dare to take a foot.
"Is that not a form of discrimination against the poor child?" Stephan asked in a rather irritated manner.
"Discrimination or not everyone knows their place here," Paul said with a smile.
"So which zone are we headed to bro," Stephan asked in a confused manner. "Well since this is your first day here, there is no need to go to those damn expensive zones, you never know what will happen after all this is campus bro," Paul said slowly.
"Your words are my command," Stephan said with a smile.
The two were busy talking and smiling at each other, at this time from a corner of the open zone cafeteria. An innocent-looking girl who sat at a table alone was slowly having her meal as she was looking in the direction where Stephan was seated.
She had jade-like milk skin, on her head was pitch black hair which elongated to the back of her abdomen, her eyes round and big which stood just some inch higher from her enchanting little nose. Just some centimetres down from her nose one could spot her tinny lips. Her lips were so well fixed- as others may say one could not resist the urge to kiss her soft lips.
After a long period, the girl slowly smiled. Her smile was so beautiful. As Stephan was talking he accidentally twisted his head in the opposite direction and spotted the girl smiling. Seeing this, he did not react as he was petrified on the spot as he could not think of having met this girl anywhere before.
