Noble and Tobias arrived. They went in to see where they were supposed to be checked in. They came early so they would avoid the traffic of students getting themselves registered. He got his items and they directed him to where his dorm would be. His friends hadn't arrived yet but he couldn't wait to see their dorms. He was also probably going to see his roommates too. He got into his room, it wasn't all that big but it was awesome to be in, with some dark red curtains and bunk beds. Noble helped him pack and stuff and when he was done, they both said goodbye with a sharp shake of hands.
Time passed and he saw his new roommates. There was a guy called Taz who was apparently doing the same course with him...that is business. Then there was one named Frank who was doing engineering. He seemed quiet but he was a cool guy. The fourth person hadn't arrived yet so the three of them went out to just get a whole view of their new big school. They went to a supermarket next to them and got themselves some snacks and other keepers. They were just talking and laughing and getting to know each other before it was time for lessons.
When they got back to the dorm, Tobias got the shock of his life.
"Bello?!!"
"Bro you in here?!"
"Broooo!"
"Broooo!"
They shook and hugged each other with so much excitement. They just started talking and laughing about stuff, especially about how they're going to spend their university lives. Bello also got introduced to the two new roommates, Taz and Frank. They were just setting up their room until a lady walked into the room to announce that there was going to be an introductory ceremony for all freshman students at 2:45 pm so everyone should be present. The boys started getting ready since it was 2:30 pm. This was going to be a wild time at school for Tobias and he could tell…

Wu came in quite late so she was in a long line. Her sister was on her phone outside talking to clients or something… while she was waiting in line. She was seeing a lot of girls take pictures and videos of themselves...probably making vlogs about themselves. When it finally got to her turn, the staff gave her the keys, a shirt, and a keyholder…for keepers. They directed her to where her dorm was and so she told her sister to take her there. Fu drove her to the place. They got into the room and Wu realized her room was already opened. She could hear the laugher, the music, and the noise the girls were making in the room.
When she entered…her roommates saw her and they all kept quiet. They were all dark-skinned and were wearing crazy outfits. But Wu was not in the mood to be seen as the odd one out. She just ignored their stares, saw that the top bed was available, and started to pack her stuff there with her sister's help. One of the girls headed over to the washroom whiles the others were not even done parking.
When Fu was done helping out, she headed back to the car. Wu met her outside.
"Okay so…I guess this is goodbye then…" Fu reassured.
"Yeah."
"Whatever happens…just…have fun and…be yourself…okay?"
"Sure"
"Just…don't do any stupid thing I would do"
"Affirmative"
Both were quiet for a while. Then Fu sparked her vehicle.
Wu was about to leave.
"Wait..."
She turned around...curious about what she was going to say.
"Do you know how you would…know if you've made a good choice?"
Wu didn't see where she was heading so she just shook her head.
"You don't… and that's what makes us the most complex beings ever."
That took Wu off by surprise. "Okay, where's this coming from?"
Fu tilted her head as if she was thinking, and brought her closed fist up to her chin. "Hmm…wakarimasen…"
"Wait did you just speak in Japanese?"
Then she shrugged with a pout. "I'm off to work now…have fun…bye…".
She drove off waving to her, and Wu returned a wave back. She probably hasn't seen her like that for a long time…and probably might be her last seeing her like that. She headed back to her dorm… all uncomfortable and worried, knowing the kind of roommates she's got. When she entered the room a lady also walked in ready to give an announcement…
"Girls you better hurry up because you guys are pretty late, the ceremony has started, come and join us."
They all left and the last was to lock the door, which was Wu obviously.
This was going to be an annoying time at school for Wu and she could tell…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, Tobias and the boys were on their way, walking and just talking.
Wu was on her phone just pretending that she was doing something important. She didn't like the crowd.
Bello was just talking about some party he was going to, whiles the guys were laughing about it.
Tobias was just looking around and then for a split second, he noticed her. He was really surprised, but they were almost at the entrance.
"Uhm guys save a seat for me, I wanna talk to someone real quick."
"Yeah sure" Taz said.
Bello watched him go and see who it was. When he saw that he was heading over to see a girl, he made a funny face, just letting the boys know that he saw his girl or something.
"Wu!" He called.
Wu looked up to see who was that. And she saw Tobias coming towards her.
"Wu?"
"Tobias."
"Uhh…surprise to see you here…"
"Surprise to see a student getting in school?"
"No, no I mean…to see you."
"Cool."
"You don't seem surprised to see me here…"
"I personally don't like surprises."
"Oh, yea right I remember now…"
They were both quiet for a bit, while Tobias was scratching his hair.
"It's…great to see you…"
"Likewise…"
"Maybe we should be heading inside…"
"Absolutely."
Then they both entered in and witnessed the ceremony…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The freshmen were experiencing events after events for about two weeks. There were orientations on how classes would be running for 4 months, Orientations about the clubs that were available, and registration going on. Tobias registered for a basketball and a music club. Wu was just not in the mood for that. There were also orientations on staff and faculty, trying to get to know who to go to when there is an emergency. Oh, let's not leave out the fun…there was a Movie Night for them and there was a party for the freshmen so they would enjoy their grace period week. Tobias didn't go for it, he was just roaming around the place still trying to get a good feel of the school…but his guys went for it. Wu was just alone in her room…watching a movie on her iPad.
Soon it was time for their first online class. Most of the courses they took were done virtually, so the students could just stay inside their rooms and have the lessons there, some were held both virtually and physically. That was how Tobias and Wu's courses were held now. Soon they all had busy schedules and assignments to do, and club activities to do, and even finding food to eat was crazy.
Some students were watching anime and playing video games. Others were either vlogging or playing smooth or loud music…or sleeping or texting to their soul mates…or parents. Speaking of parents, Tobias' Aunty called in to check up to see how he finds the place. Wu didn't receive any so far. She was mostly found in calm places...that is the library...or her room when her roommates head out. Tobias was just being anywhere if he ever needed to be there.
Soon, Tobias was starting to see Wu lately. His dorm to hers was a walking distance, so he could go in and see her when he was free...
