When she arrived, it was 7 AM. Her current body's college is not bad, it's huge and it was one of the leading college in her city. To get here, you must pass the national exam first. However, as the parent of the current body are rich, they just put some money into the college to let her in.
If her original parents weren't really ambitious and told her to get a good college, she might consider going here. But they just said anywhere is fine and she chose a college outside the city with reason to be "Independent". In the end, it became online classes and her original intention isn't fulfilled.
She has imagined a lot of times how this college would look like on the inside. She passed by a lot of times when she's going to competition or going to the airport.
As amazing as it reputation. A huge parking lot, a lot of students and a very refreshing enviroment. The buildings are neat and it looks really clean as well. No matter what, this is a really amazing college to get into.
'Sigh, if only I was ambitious, I would have chosen this college.'
She spent almost an hour looking around the first building, the college is really huge. There's a lot of building that's part of the college and it's been an hour but she can only see the first building.
Her current body is a foreign languages student and her classes are mostly in the third building which is far from the first building. Since the time showed 8 AM, she might as well walk there now to avoid being late.
'Foreign languages... What languages she take?'
'Host, don't worry. She only take English so you can relax'
'Good. If it's another language I might just give up. Anyway, this body is really healthy, I have walked for almost 2 hours and I don't sense any sign of getting tired. Really different from my original body.'
'Host, it's the result of walking for almost 15 years of her life.'
When she arrived at the third building, she can see a lot of students running. It seems like they're late for class. She looked at her watch and it showed half past eight which means she still have 30 minutes. Which class are they from then?
Before she got time to think, someone bumped into her and fell. The other party bumped pretty hard on her and it hurts her right hand a bit. She flinched and looked at the other party while extending her hand.
"Are you alright?"
"Ah- What did I just bump into!" the other party screamed while looking back.
"You bumped into me. Can't you see?"
Come on, she's indeed walking silently but that doesn't mean her 180 cm self is invicible right? It's different from before.
"Y-you... you were there?" she said with wide eyes.
"Of course, I'm just walking towards the building until you bumped into me."
"I don't seem to see you..."
Adel sighed and extended her hand again "It doesn't matter, I saw you were in rush maybe that's why you didn't see me. Should I help you up? You might be late soon."
"Ah! Yes! Mr. Ou's class!" The other party put her hand on hers and let her pull them. The moment she stood up, she wobbled and almost fell again. Adel looked at her and realized that she might sprained her ankle.
"It looks like you sprained your ankle, where's your class I'll help you get there." she calmly pulled the other party and stabilized them.
"Is it okay? Are you not going to your class too?" she said embarassingly.
"It's fine, my class started at 9 AM, there's still 30 minutes left. It won't take long to help you."
"T-then I thank you first, my class is just right there, the one with a glass door." She pointed at a room with a glass door. Through the glass, Adel can see that there's a teacher in front of the class already. She helped the girl to walk slowly to her class.
When they arrived, she knocked the door and went in. The teacher and the whole class looked at them and the girl looked down. Seeing that she has no intention in saying anything, Adel sighed and said. "Teacher, I apologize for disturbing. We just arrived."
The teacher glared at them and said "It's not even 3 days ever since we got offline classes! Yet there's someone who's late already! Stand up there for 20 minutes! Only then you can sit."
Without waiting for their answer, the teacher just started teaching without worry. Adel glanced at her watch and it showed 8.35 AM, 20 minutes means she has 5 minutes to run after that.
It's not her duty or fault for her to stand here, but looking at the other party that got her ankle sprained after bumping into her. She just let it be and waited.
'What kind of bad luck, it's my second day and I'm already unlucky.'
In the past 20 minutes, she spent her time stabilizing the other girl while listening to the lecture. Even if she didn't apply for this course, she can say that the teacher's lecture is really interesting and in line of what she liked. Unfortunately, it's not the same language as hers.
When 20 minutes passed, she thought of what to say to the teacher. Fortunately, the teacher seems to have an alarm and told them to sit. "Go sit. Don't be late again next time."
"Thank you, teacher."
The moment she said that, she hurriedly helped the girl to sit on her seat before confirming that she won't need any help. After that she turned around and went to the door. The teacher seems to notice that and shouted. "This student! I know you're late but that doesn't mean you can skip the class in front of me right?"
Adel sighed deeply and watched as her watch showed that it's only 2 minutes left before her class started. 'Bad luck, simply bad luck.'
She turned around and explained "Teacher, I apologize. I'm not a student of this class and I'm trying to go to my class right now."
"Really?" he squinted.
"Teacher, rather than wasting your time to prove that I'm a student in this class or not. You can see that when you're calling out the names, there's only one missing which is that student over there. I'm just helping her because she accidentaly bumped into me and sprained her ankle which is why I helped her until her seat. I have no other reason and I swear I didn't lie. If teacher has any other question can I answer that after my class? I'm running because I might be standing in front of the class for the second time soon." she smiled.
'Teacher, I'm amazed by your lecture but can I go? This body is healthy and able to stand even if you told me a thousand times but my soul is sleepy okay?'
"Oh, you can go."
"Thank you teacher."
She opened the door and ran right away. 2 Minutes, and her class is at the third floor which means she can't take elevator if she doesn't want to be late.
Adel doesn't know, the moment she left. The teacher put down his marker and turned around.
"Shia, it's the third time you're late and you brought someone who's not even in our class to get punished with you, do you know what that means?"
The student that was called was the one that bumped into Adel earlier.
"M-Mr. Ou I will clean the class today and apologize to her." She said stutteringly.
"Forget about the cleaning, just apologize to her. I heard that you sprained your ankle, I will let this matter go this time. Don't be late next time or there won't be any next time."
The class continued after that.
Adel ran all the way to the third floor then turned left, when she arrived it's just right that the teacher just arrived. When she saw her, she seems surprised and smiled. Adel greeted the teacher and said sorry for being late then entered the class. The class is crowded and there's only one seat left, which is the bottom seat. She went there and sat.
